Described in Zacour, Norman P. and Hirsch, Rudolf. Catalogue of Manuscripts in the Libraries of the University of Pennsylvania to 1800. Supplement B, The Library Chronicle 45 (1981), p. 19 (Ms. Italian 261).
The text of the Italian translation [by Gregory Leti?] was printed in Cologne in 1681 (cf. G. Melzi-G. Passano, Dizionario di opere anonime e pseudonime, Ancona, 1807, p. 79). It seems likely that the present ms. antedates this edition (the first French edition appeared in 1674); the text has not been compared with the 1681 edition.
