For many years Italian, German and Austrian literary historians failed to give the Italian court poets the recognition they deserved because their works did not fit into the 19th century concept of a national literature. Furthermore, the majority of the poets' work belonged to a genre, the Libretto, to which literary aesthetics principally ascribed only functional value. With the exception of Pietro Metastasio, there are consequently no catalogues of these authors' works, no critical editions nor any specific studies. Now the first ever complete catalogue has been produced by Nicolò Minato.
