"Il est a prèsumier que le livre a été ecrit par Monsieur du No[y, g or j?]et Auditeur de la Rotte [i.e. Auditeur de Rote] a Rome en 1720 ou 1730"--P. [2]

The composition of the work seems to date to the last quarter of the 17th century.  However, the manuscript hand is 18th century.

This work is rich in anecdotes from the 17th  century  and includes many comparisons between the Parisian and Roman art world.
