Luciano Guerci attributes the translation of this text to Girolamo Boccalosi. See Il celebre e raro trattato de' tre impostori, ed. by Luciano Guerci (Alessandria: Edizioni dell'Orso, 1996) pp. 8-12.

Sonja Laevert argues that the Italian translation and the French retranslation it derives from 'radicalise the (philosophical) meaning of the text and transform the ideas of natural religion into materialism and the metaphysical critique into political revolutionary ideas' ('The Traite des trios imposters: A Philosophical Plot, or (Retranslation) as Strategy of Enlightenment', Cadernos de Traduçao 1 (2019): 90).
