(HEBREW). (Joseph Fabian). In Funere pro D.N. Francisco IV Austriaco Atestino ad aedem Curialem Dominici Sancti… Ritu Sollemni Renovato Psalmus in quo verba habent regii filii defuncti principis francicscus v: Ferdinandus Carolus Victorius, Maria Theresia Beatrix Caietana et Maria Beatrix Anna Francisca. Text in Hebrew and Latin. Lightly foxed. One large rectangular page. Modena, March 9th, 1846 Psalms-inspired elegy prepared for the children of Francis IV, Duke of Modena, recited 30 days after his passing. An UNRECORDED example of Hebrew used as a religious language by Europe’s Royalty. The Hebrew appears to be a translation from the more free-flowing Latin, with ample borrowing from the language of various Biblical verses.
