Carlo Goldoni, 13 vols, Venice, 1770--1772 with a special title-page dated 1770. For this edition see A. Scannapieco, 'Scrittoio, scena, torchio: per una mappa della produzione goldoniana', in G.

Carlo Goldoni, 13 vols, Venice, 1770--1772; and La bella selvaggia (q.v.), L'apatista (q.v.) and La donna bizzarra (q.v.) all dated 1773 and possibly issued as part of his edition of Le commedie del sig. dott.
