This print is cut and pasted in the first (MS.LAT.848) of the five Angelica's manuscripts "La scuola del cristiano" (MS.LAT.848-52) edited to Rome in 1833. The print is pasted in landscape orientation. On the sheet, below the pasted print, is another text: "Adamo, ed Eva piangono la Morte di Abele, ucciso da saino." The condition of the print is good, although a small piece of the print is torn out near the upper right corner.
