The entire series was published simulatenously in Italian and French. The Italian language edition was published 1816/1817-1834 under the title: Il costume antico e moderno o storio del governo, della milizia, della religione ... and contains in addition, an Indice generale, 1829 (1 volume) and Aggiunte e rettificazioni all' opera il costume antico e moderno ..., 1831-1834 (3 volumes). These 4 volumes do not form part of the French language edition. Italian language edition totals 21 volumes.

This volume likely was part of a subscription series of 143 fascicules issued in the French language containing variant title pages and imprints that vary between 1826 and 1834.
