Critical editions
• Giuseppe Corsi da Celano, La Stravaganza. Cantata per soprano e basso continuo, edited by Davide Gualtieri, Lucca, Libreria Musicale Italiana, 2012. It's an attempt of a critical edition, however, it ignores the sources of Lyon (attributed to Carlo Ambrogio Lonati, identified by Gloria Rose and Stephen R. Miller), Paris (basso continuo, identified by Catherine Massip), Brussels (anonymous, identified by Giovanni Tribuzio) and Cambridge (identified by Berthold Over and considered the oldest).
