Title supplied by cataloger.
Binding: Unbound leaves.
Origin: The letter was written by Antonio Caetani in Madrid on 22 September 1613. It seems to be original because the verso of the second folio of the letter bears the recipient's address and Caetani's seal. The draft letter (fol. 3r-v) is an autograph of Borghese, and it concerns the same book of Zeballo, which was published in 1613.
