Additional information
Ten pages bound together, with title-page. The key to each drawing is located on the verso of the preceding page. In their study of the work of Michele Sanmicheli, to whom the lazaretto has been attributed, Paul Davies and David Hemsoll refer to Cristofali's drawings as a not entirely reliable depiction of the original building (see P. Davies and D. Hemsoll, Michele Sanmicheli, Milan, 2004, p. 161, note 230).
