Summary

Account of events during the uprising in Naples against Spanish rule led by Masaniello (Tommaso Aniello) in the summer of 1647.

Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from title page (f. i recto).
   
• Title on spine label: Memor[ie] de Guisa.
   
• Incipit (f. 1r): Un'infelice affare, che mio malgrado non si è che troppo diffuso per tutta Europa ...
   
• The title page has the date notation "1647 e 1648," possibly in a different hand; but it is unclear what these dates indicate: when the events described in the text took place, when the original French text was written, when the Italian translation was made, or when this manuscript was written.
