Thimm and Castle describe a 245-page manuscript with thirteen copperplates in the Biblioteca Nazionale di Firenze, Magliabechiana XIX.196. Gelli describes the same Florence manuscript with dedication, preface and eighteen plates. The plate-count discrepancy is retained as a disagreement between secondary witnesses. Former duplicate work #3630 was consolidated here.
