Catalogue Note
This lengthy grammar, which is set out in a Latin manner, is followed by a short group of dialogues in Turkish with Italian translations. The author was dragoman to the Count de Ludolf, minister of the Kingdom of Naples and the Two Sicilies at Constantinople. He also wrote a very short Descrizione topografica dello stato presente di Costantinopoli, Bassano, 1794.
