Summary

Collection of poetry consisting mostly, if not entirely, of sonnets. Some of the sonnets are attributed to Michel' Brugueres and various other authors. There are also many unattributed sonnets, including "All' Italia nell'1690" (p. 17), "Per l'elettione dell'Duca di Sassonia alla corona di Polonia" (p. 22), "Nella sorpresa della gran fortezza di Buda rivolta à Turchi ..." (p. 24), and several poems relating to Louis XIV of France, Prince Eugene, Philip V of Spain, Pope Clement XI, etc. In general, most of the poems seem to be concerned with prominent persons and important events of the time.
