The atlas is dedicated to Cosimo III de' Medici and first printed in Naples in 1692; a later, posthumous edition was edited by his nephew Luigi and printed in 1734 with the title Carte de' Regni di Napoli e di Sicilia. This third draft was published in 1794 (See: La Terra di lavoro nella storia, dalla cartografia al vedutismo, Roberto Almagià Association, 2012). French-born Bulifon settled in Naples in 1670, where he opened a bookshop in San Biagio dei Librai and where in 1672 he started his publishing business, which was very successful. His political sympathies towards the Spanish and French antagonised him with the Neapolitans. With the unfavourable outcome of political events, he was forced to take refuge in Spain; his bookshop was destroyed in 1707 when the Austrians entered Naples. He died in Spain without ever returning to Naples. Almagià, Studies, p. 313; Roberto Almagià Association, La Terra di lavoro nella storia, dalla cartografia al vedutismo, 2012, p. 68; Phillips 3067
