(cum priviligio), some have the artist's name, "Ali Gio." On some plates, this has been partially burnished out. There is no record of any previous issue of the plates, and Monaldini's claim on the title page (not present) that&nbsp;prints here are "per la prima volta escono in luce" makes it probable that these prints are published here for the first time.
