Responsibility Note
The frontispiece portrait is captioned, 'Raphaeli Morghen ... Nicolaus Palmerinius Effigiem Eius Ab Se ... Expressam Magistro ... D.D.'
The place of printing, but not the name of the printer, is given in the colophon: 'Impresso In Pisa Co' Caratteri Di Didot MDCCCXXIV.'
Both dedications are from Niccolò Palmerini, the first to Gaetano Poggiali (1809), the second to Giuseppe Piaggio (1824).
Summary Note
The catalogue lists 252 items, followed by four items for which Morghen was partly responsible and one erroneous attribution.

An earlier edition had been published in 1810 (Firenze: Presso Molini, Landi e Comp.).
