The IGI assigns the publication to a Florentine Lucantonio known to have worked in Verona in 1503, who the IGI identifies with the engraver L.A. of the Uberti. D.E. Rhodes, in "Proceedings and memoirs of the Academy of Agriculture, Sciences and Letters of Verona", ser. 6, 31 (1979-80) p.315, supported the attribution to Giunta, but compare P. Veneziani, in "The funds, the procedures, the stories: collection of studies of the Library" (Rome, 1993) pp. 195-203.
