These 59 songs were further refined into the 24 song set that became wildly popular in vocal pedagogy, but they were derived from the larger, 100 song, 3 volume set "Arie Antiche" which was published by Ricordi. I don't have a copy of the Ricordi set, and the closest library copy is 90 minutes away; nor do I consider it a major priority to add it here. However, I'll eventually want to scan at least the 41 songs not already represented.

Of course, for the period when he wrote this, this was probably as faithful as it got. I wonder at some of the differences between his views on appropriate Baroque style and what is currently considered "Historically Informed Performance". But I shall presume that his insistence on a calm delivery and lack of "violent contrasts" are in reaction to excesses of his contemporaries.
