Famous and sought-after work for its rich iconography, which saw the light of day in Milan between 1817 and 1824 and was simultaneously translated into French, and immediately attracted the attention of the Florentine publisher Batelli. Giulio Ferrario (1767-1847), founder of the Italian Classical Printing Society, together with Giovanni Angelo Borsa and Innocenzo Domenico Giusti, was director of the Braidense Library, to which he donated all his printed works and manuscripts. Colas 1051.
