The engraved frontispiece depicts nude putti pulling the tails of a dog and an ox within a border of furry, intertwined tails, and the vignette at the end shows a group of dangling donkeys with their tails tied together. The pseudonymous author, of the 'Accademia in Via Porciaia', expounds upon the relevance of the 'tail' from classical literature and mythology (from Martial to Priapus, 'god of gardens and very partial to the tail', trans.) to Dante and Boccaccio, the natural world (including wagtails and rattlesnakes) and the kitchen (with much innuendo about sauces and pestles and mortars). Women 'are born without a tail of any sort given that they form a single body with a man, it follows that one of them should be without a tail, otherwise they will form an animal with two tails, like those two-tailed lizards which are signs of good fortune' (trans.). A second, expanded edition was published c. 1770. Melzi I, p. 205; Parenti, p. 45. Not in Kearney or Pia. OCLC finds two copies in the UK (BL, Taylor Institution) and two in the US (Harvard, UCLA).
