  • Notes: first edition of a collection of Middle Eastern proverbs. Agnellini (d. 1724) was a Jacobite Christian from Diyarbakir whose erratic career took him from Mardin, where he was consecrated but forbidden to officiate as bishop, to Italy, where he was jailed for fraudulent conduct as a mendicant. Graf IV, 54-55.
