This is an account of the funeral celebrations for Princess Maria Clementina, daughter of James Sobieski, eldest son of the King of Poland.

The text description is in Latin and Italian, printed in facing columns. The two fold out plates show the elaborate exequy structure in the church and the second her funeral procession to St Peters. The publication was sponsored by Pope Clement XII.
