The Primo libro delle divine lodi includes 35 compositions, 33 vocal (1 for solo voice, 31 for two voices and 1 for three voices) and 2 works for two instruments with basso continuo.

The Primo libro delle divine lodi is known only through a reprint issued in Venice by Ricciardo Amadino in 1612; the editio princeps is lost. The collection is dedicated to Camillo Rubini, a Venetian merchant and patron of a cultural circle frequented by musicians, men of letters, and painters.

Only one copy of the Primo libro delle divine lodi survives, preserved in the Biblioteca Diocesana “Monsignor Giuliano Agresti” in Lucca. The copy comprises all three of its partbooks, although the Canto partbook has lost a single sheet, amounting to four pages. As a result, four motets for two voices and basso continuo now lack their upper voice, and in a fifth motet the upper voice is incomplete. A hypothetical reconstruction of the missing parts of these five incomplete compositions is provided in the critical edition. An editable digital version of the incomplete pieces, together with transposed versions of the compositions for which transposition indications are given, is also available online.
