Arteaga wrote the above, the first critical history of opera. The first edition was a single volume and appeared in Bologna several years earlier but difficulties prevented it from being printed in its entirity. Arteaga made several alterations and additions and the much enlarged second edition appeared in 1785. The work was quite successful and translated into German and French.
