Catalogue Note
Exemplaire bien complet dont la collation est conforme à celle d'Olschki (n° 16899), du Kat. der Ornamentstichsammlung de Berlin (n° 3603) et Besterman. Old art books, 1975, p. 37. L'exemplaire de la Fowler Collection est imparfait.
Toutes les planches sont numérotées et signées, mais aucune n'est datée. Le catalogue de Berlin assigne à son exemplaire la date de 1691, précisant que la première édition serait de 1675. Olschki écrit « vers 1684 ». Besterman situe les quatre parties vers 1675, 1685 et 1688-1689. Le papier de quelques planches des trois premières suites comporte un filigrane qui ne paraît pas être exactement celui décrit par Besterman. Ces filigranes sont reproduits par Hind. G.B. Piranesi, planche I.
