Publisher's list at end of 'Libri stampati da Giuseppe Bettinelli de' quali si trova averne fino al presente anno 1751.' (pp. 365--371). Soane may have acquired and used this volume while in Italy to practise his Italian, transcribing and translating passages of plays in this volume at the back of a vellum-bound notebook of notes on the Italian language (Soane Case 136).

Copy Notes Title-page inscribed in grey ink il Teatro; the titles of the other three plays in the volume are listed on the divisional half-title to the first play in the same hand. Bottom of title-page is torn with slight loss of wording of the 'Licenza', possibly to remove an ownership inscription.

Binding C18th vellum, previous gilt-tooled spine-title in stained compartment over-written with MS. lettering in ink, red and blue mottled edges.
