 * Abbe Albert Fortis, Travels Into Dalmatia, 1768, original text.
 * "Travels Into Dalmatia" created a sensation across Western Europe when it was published in 1768: it reintroduced nothern half of the continent to the Adriatic region.

The book it's the first source -and it had been for centuries the only English source- covering the entire description of the Veranzio Family, from Antonio to Carlo, trough Girolamo, Michele or Fausto and Giovanni his sons.

 * Original Machine Novae, Fausto VERANZIO - Malavasi Library, Milan - a complete and very detailed description of first and second edition of the Veranzio masterpiece "Machine Nove", with biography passages, and lots of original images from the book: «This exemplar, in Folio, p. pulpit. coeval, 1 pl. with a portrait of Antonio Veranzio, uncle of the author (added after published) - missing folio title - pp.num. 19.18, (2 white), 20,19,20, explanatory text tables: Declaratio machinarum, Italian, Latin, Spanish, French and German, each section is preceded by a woodcut head. Complete with 49 double page plates. inc. copper. First and only edition of the rarest books of ancient mechanics and machines and one of the most important. The extraordinary rarity of this book is because the author published his work at his own expense, without a publisher and had to stop printing because of lack of funds. Two variants of the work exist, one with the "Declaratio" in Latin and Italian, the other with the addition of three other languages. Only a few copies have survived and often complete text of all five languages.» The original text is in Italian, from an old Italian library in Milan, but provided several interesting informations about Veranzio works under a bibliographic, bibliologic (and for me bibliophilic) point of view. If you want not to consider it for the naming dispute i think it should be used for the article anyways.
