L'Amour en Fureur, ou les Excez de la Jalousie Italienne. 

Cologne: Pierre Marteau, 1710.

12mo., 18th century citron morocco, triple fillet borders in gilt; lettering in gilt direct to spine with urn devices in compartments; title in red and black; all edges gilt; marbled endpapers; fully engraved frontis and title in red and black; pp. [vii]. 4-163, [v]; with an additional a very good copy, light spots and marks but else very clean internally; some darkening to spine with wear at head; upper edge a little dust soiled. Provenance: with the small armorial bookplate of John Chamier to the front free endpaper.

An obscure and rather tragic little novel by an anonymous writer, concerned with a jealous husband who tyrannizes his wife with a morbid and unhealthy obsession, subjecting her to an ever more padlocked chastity belt. It was first published in 1667 and went through several editions, many of them banned.

Rare indeed, in any edition.
