A detailed and comprehensive history of the character of Scaramouch, a character developed by the commedia dell'arte in Paris, and first popularised in the 17th century by Tiberio Fiorillo. Legend has it that when the two-year-old Dauphin (future Louis XIV) was distressed one night as a child Fiorilli, as Scaramouche, comforted and entertained him through grimaces and general tomfoolery. Consequently, Fiorilli was ordered to visit court to amuse the future King, and the character of Scaramouche henceforth became a standard role in theatre at the time. Constantini (d. 1729) was one of the pillars of the Commmedia dell'Arte from 1682 until 1697, when Louis XIV closed it down. He was the author of Vie de Scaramouche, 1692, and had a devoted following for his singing and expressive acting. A very handsome production and scarce as the special edition.

Also loosely inserted is a 1pp letter from Rex Hilson to Maude Lloyd, gifting the book to her, which he had selected for her from Bradley's library that he describes as "immense". Bradley was immersed not only in books (he became the Assistant Secretary and sub-Librarian at the much loved London Library) but even more so in the world of dance, its fellow enthusiasts, dancers and choreographers amongst whom he made his circle of friends, hence his friendship with Maude and Nigel Gosling. He wrote a short history Sixteen Years of Ballet Rambert 1930-1946. He also contributed to many journals such as Ballet. He helped found with Cyril Beaumont and the judge and Buddhist, Christmas Humphreys, the London Archives of the Dance, which built a collection of books and archives for the profession. It was placed under the umbrella of the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1968. Rex Hilson, who was beneficiary of the chattels in Bradley's estate and who sends the letter here to Maude, was responsible for ensuring Bradley's own substantial and "accurate" archive of English ballet was passed to the London Archives of the Dance on his death.
