Catalogue Note
Une des premières éditions du plus grand opéra du milieu du XVIIIe siècle.
Bien que cette édition soit considérée par Hopkinson comme un premier tirage, il est plus probable qu'il ait été précédé par le tirage sans l'achevé d'imprimer et paraphé par le compositeur [RISM GG 2842a].
An early edition of the greatest opera of the mid eighteenth century.
Athough this edition is treated by Hopkinson as the first issue, it seems more likely in fact that the issue without the imprint, and initialled by the composer [RISM GG 2842a], precedes this issue.
