GIRONI, Robustiano.
Alle costumanze civili dei Greci [Greek costumes in splendid colours; with dedication from the author
Robustiano Gironi was Italian philologist and librarian (1769-1838). An informative book of Greek costumes. Only edition. Of all of Gironi's publications, all of which are of a similar nature, the present work on ladies' ablutions and private habits in Greek antiquity as well as in modern Greece would appear to be the rarest. Illlustrated with particular care and printed in no more than eighty copies.
