Catalogue Note
Rare. There is no record of this work appearing at auction on ABPC. The imprint bears the name of Albrizzi, as does the dedication, and Weber attributes it to him, though the title bears some similarity to various works by Pietro Pacifico, including Descrittione delle... penisola della Morea, published by Albrizzi the year before.
