Scope and Contents
The copy is imperfect, lacking the title page. In addition to the amendments of Berlioz to instrumentation and dynamics, strips of blue paper on which is written an Italian version of the libretto are pasted to the printed pages, covering the French libretto, through the greater part of the volume.
