From the library of Agostino Ferrante di Ruffano (1885-1974) the Consul General of his Majesty, the King of Italy, in Frankfurt am Main (1936-1939) and Dresden (1940-1943). He was imprisoned in 1943 by the German Reich authorities and later by the Italian authorities for refusing to recognize the Mussolini government.

The author writes in his introduction: "L.F.N. Al Christiano. / Molti, e vari libri ci sono di Cristiani Esercizi y onde disutil cosa sembra darne degli altri alla luce. A me intanto e piaciuto, per mio vantaggio, e de'miei amici farne ristampar uno, con cui render piu comodi, tutti, e quei soli atti di pieta, da quali, senza dubio, un uomo Cristiano non vien disobligato, essendoci di mezzo, per lo malagevole aspro sentiero, che a virtu conduce. Qualunque maggiore occupazione non deve assolutamente esentarvi di cominciar la giornata da Dio unico, e sommo Bene, per cio eseguire qui trovate un epilogo d'atti, d'affetti, proponimenti, preghiere, ricordi, e massime migliori della nostra Cattolica Religione. Very good .
