To the distinguished Commissioner Bartolomeo Capasso
Director of the Royal Archives of Naples
I would not dare to present to you this revised edition, which I consider to be quite deficient. But your kindness to me - traces of which remain in this book - makes me hope that you will regard it as a token of my deep respect and sincere gratitude to you.
Yours most sincerely
R. Fulin
August 1883 in Venice
