Primi Fassola di San Maiolo's Historia della guerra d'Olanda, "published on the Continent in 1682 was immediately suppressed. The present text is an independent English work from 1689 that comments on this publication event and its political significance and includes some excerpts from it in French and English (the English author appears to have had a French translation [by Pierre Allix?--cf. BM cat.] rather than the Italian original)"--Francis Steen, Department of English, UC Santa Barbara, private communication, July 2000.
