Notes: Authorities agree that the first part of this work, published in Italian in Paris in 1684, was written by Marana and was not a translation from Arabic. The remainder has been ascribed to several Englishmen, among them Dr. Robert Midgley and William Bradshaw. It is probable however that Midgley simply edited the English translation, made by Bradshaw of the original Italian manuscript.

Vol. 1 has both general title page for the set and separate title page for the volume; other volumes have individual volume title pages.
