1793, Lorenzo S. Giustiniani, Saggio storico-critico sulla tipografia del Regno di Napoli:Se taluni eruditi uomini non ne avessero fatta menzione nelle loro opere, saremmo rimasti nello stato di non averne nello stato di non averne memoria niuna, e non poterci per conseguenza fare una compiuta gloria di aver così ben coltivata l'arte tipografica fin da suoi primi incunaboli, e di essere stati benanche coltivatori delle morte lingue orientali.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
