M. Ant. De Dominis Com. Pal.. Archiep. Spalat. Dalm. Et Croat. Primas.
Joannes Bill excud. [London, n.d., c.1620.]
Rare engraving. Sheet: 280 x 185mm (11 x 7¼"). Trimmed within plate, mounted in album paper.
Marco Antonio de Dominis (1560-1624), former Archbishop of Split and Primate of Dalmatia and all Croatia, frontispiece to his ''De Republicâ Ecclesiasticâ contra Primatum Papæ''. Perhaps engraved by Renold Elstracke. Having sided with Venice in a row with the Papacy, he resigned his position and travelled to England to avoid the Inquisition. There he wrote ''De Republicâ Ecclesiasticâ'', anti-Roman sermons, two volumes of which were published in London by John Bill with royal patronage, the first in 1617 and a second in 1620; a third was published in Hanau in 1622. In 1623 he recanted and returned to Rome, but soon he erred and was declared a relapsed heretic and was confined to the Castel Sant'Angelo where he died 1624. With Bill's name on the plate, this is likely to be from the 1620 second volume of the ''De Republicâ Ecclesiasticâ''.

Rare engraving. Sheet: 275 x 185mm (10¾ x 7¼"). Trimmed within plate.
Marco Antonio de Dominis (1560-1624), former Archbishop of Split and Primate of Dalmatia and all Croatia, frontispiece to his ''De Republicâ Ecclesiasticâ contra Primatum Papæ''. Perhaps engraved by Renold Elstracke. Having sided with Venice in a row with the Papacy, he resigned his position and travelled to England to avoid the Inquisition. There he wrote ''De Republicâ Ecclesiasticâ'', anti-Roman sermons, two volumes of which were published in London by John Bill with under royal patronage, the first in 1617 and a second in 1620; a third was published in Hanau in 1622. In 1623 he recanted and returned to Rome, but soon he erred and was declared a relapsed heretic and was confined to the Castel Sant'Angelo where he died 1624. This is an early version of the portrait: a later version has John Bill's name on the plate, which was likely to be from the 1620 second volume of the ''De Republicâ Ecclesiasticâ''.
