The subject of the work is the history and topography of the Kingdom of Naples through the works of the major writers of the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries: 1) Ambrogio Leone - de Agro Nolano. 2) Gabriele Barrio - de Antiquitate Calabria. 3) Francesco Grano - De Situ Calabriae. 4) Giovanni Giovene - De Varia Tarentinorum Fortuna. 5) Antonio Galateo - De Situ Japigiae. 6) Paolo Antonio Di Tarsia - Historiarum Cupersanensium. 7) Abbate Damadeno - Tabula Canusii. 8) Henz Brennemanus - De republica Amalfitana. Note among the plates the beautiful view of Nola and the large, elegantly draped map of the Agro Nolano that extends to the "Sinus Surrentinum."
