Notes: Attribution - manuscript information gives 3 volumes in-12°, suggesting this work rather than the single volume 'Histoire de la vie et de la mort tragique de Bianca Capello'. This work was also published in same year as another translation by Rauquil Lieutaud entitled 'Bianca Capello, roman dramatique, imité de l'Allemand', but our short title suggests the Luchet translation.
