Author
Giovanni Battista Manso is documented in Fuller’s books (1846). No work is named in the surviving passages, all in A Rhythmical Translation of Goethe's Tasso, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “mentioned”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →
