a kind ebayer told me---
Dates between 1732-1775 for a duke from Naples who had a huge library, he is noted for his set of rules he paste in his books. Should go for about 100-125 if anybody knew what it was. It is seldom seen on the market outside of a book.
Bookplate_ Thomas Vargas Macciucca Made a duke in 1732- died in 1775
Bookplate depicting the coat of arms of the Vargas Macciucca family, with surrounding text: 'ex bibliotheca illris Ducis Thomae Vargas Macciucca'; on the recto of the first flyleaf has been pasted a leaf with a set of house rules which the Duke prescribed himself and others using or lending books from his library. The Italian noble Vargas Macciucia, or Vargas Machuca family is of Spanish, or rather Gothic origin. It dates back to the 8th century. By a degree of king Alfonso XI of 1267 the family has the privilege to bear the royal arms of Castiglia e Leon, which are also depicted on the bookplate. In the middle of the 17th century the family took root in the South of Italy under king Philip IV, who was also king of Naples. The 19th generation Vargas was Tommaso (or Tommasso) de Vargas Machuca (Thomas Vargas Macciucca), who was gouvernor of Capua. In 1732 he was created 'Duca de Vargas Machuca'. In 1748 the family lived in the monumental palace 'Real Monte di Manso' in Naples. He died in 1775.
