Dedication signed: Scipio Maffeius

Of engravings that are signed, most are by Francesco Zucchi after Cignaroli. The latter is probably Gianbettino Cignaroli, based on his association with Zucchi and Maffei (Thieme-Becker VI, 585). The plate on p. 245 is by Zucchi after Daniel Bertoli, and the 2nd plate on p. 219 is by Zucchi's brother Andrea. The 1st plate on p. 420 is by Etienne Fessard after Charles Natoire
