Preface: "Ioannes Franciscus Barbadicus ad nepotes", f. *1r-2v.
"Ioannes Franciscus Barbadicus ... Sed morte praeventus plura praestare non potuit ultra haec, quae septuaginta novem superioribus numismatis continentur. Octogesimum vero, quemadmodum inter reliqua inventum est, subjeci" -- Monitum editoris, p. 158.
"Quae hactenus proposita sunt & explicata octogena numismata, ea omnia jampridem anno MDCCXXXII ... ederentur. Sed ... causa tum intercederet, ne opus jam præparatum ante vertentem annum hunc MDCCLX lucem aspiceret. Nam interim ac spatium hoc temporis evolvitur, Ioannes quidem Franciscus S.R.E. Cardinalis Barbadicus, princeps auctor rei universae, desiit inter mortales agere ... Illud quoque eos, qui legerint, monitos esse juvat, horum quinque mumismatum elogia auctorem non habere eundem, quem cetera, Valcavium ... sed esse alia manu, videlicet ... Angeli Antonii Fabro in Gymnasio Patav. P.P. ..." -- Monitum, f. 2ar.
"... Avendo veduto ... nel libro intitolato Numismata virorum illustrium ex Barbadica gente, auctore R.P. Io: Xaverio Valcavi Soc.
