A62183	The opinion of Padre Paolo of the Order of the Servites, consultor of state given to the Lords the Inquisitors of state, in what manner the republick of Venice ought to govern themselves both at home and abroad, to have perpetual dominion.; Opinione come debba governarsi internamente ed esternamente la Repubblica di Venezia.
