This Naples copy once belonged to Minieri Riccio, who lists it in his Memorie storiche degli scrittori nati nel Regno di Napoli, Napoli, 1844, p. 340. He knew of Carmignano as a poet, but did not connect him with 'Suavio,' since he gives them two separate entries (p. 88 and p. 340). can his copy be the same as that which also belonged in 1900 to count Francesco Bonazzi in Naples? (Ludovico Pepe, Storia della successione degli Sforzeschi negli stati di Puglia e Calabria, Bari, 1900, p. 309.)

Mostra documentaria del pensiero economico-politico pugliese dei secc. XVI-XX. Catalogo. Bari, 1951, p. 59 and pl. VII. The correct identity of Suavio was known to the compiler of this catalogue, Beniamino d'Amato.

As Beniamino d'Amato (n. 2 supra), and Fernanda Ascarelli, La Tipografia Cinquecentina Italiana, Firenze, 1953, p. 116. They do not, however, quote an authority.

However, the copy in the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris and the Laterza copy in Bari, I have ascertained, contain the same cut as the B. M. volume.
