Summary

A day-by-day chronicle of the Masaniello revolt, as witnessed by the author or collected from "personal authority," perhaps based on a diary kept at the time. The author considers the revolt a divine punishment owing to the "little reverence" shown by the Spanish and the Neapolitan nobility to Cardinal Filomarino, then archbishop of Naples.
