Although we verify the correctness of these URLs at the time of posting, they may not work, for various reasons, for various people, at various times.
In the first index, names beginning with "I" and "J" are alphabetized as though the "I" and "J" are the same letter, so that Ja... entries appear before Ib... and Jo... after In.... Names beginning with "U" and "V" are treated in the same manner.
Some dates of birth and death cited by the author are at variance from those reported by subsequent sources. Dates that are clearly typographical errors were adjusted, as listed below. Otherwise, dates were left as printed, even though the given dates lead to illogical results (e.g., see entries for Stephano and Alessandro Magnasco).
Some page numbers in the indexes are not in numerical order and may not correspond to the item indexed. The numbers were not changed. Several entries omit the volume number associated with the listed page numbers.
Punctuation was standardized.
"Ib." was changed to "ib." for consistency within the text.
Alphabetical jump tables were added at the beginning of each index for the convenience of users.
A bindery note at the bottom of the first page of "Critical Opinions" indicates that the reviews following “THE END” should have been published at the beginning of Volume I.
