The first part was previously considered to be by Angelo Correr but is now attributed to Charles Ferrare du Tot (OCLC). The translator is identified as John Bulteel. The first part is a translation of "Relazione della corte romana fatta l'anno 1661" and the second part is a translation of "Relatione di Roma del Almaden" attributed to Theodor van Meyden by British Museum General Catalogue of Printed Books; also attributed to Charles de Ferrare du Tot.
In the B.M. copy the order of the parts is reversed.
