For many years the identity of the author was a mystery. First attributed to Pietro Aretino , an article in 1888 by Achille Neri finally identified the author as Antonio Rocco, a Libertine priest and philosopher and member of the Accademia Degli Incogniti , founded by Giovan Battista Loredan . The obscenity of the text is unremandingly explicit, but it has been argued, "it must be understood in the context of similar texts of the trend of Libertinism , using the term in its original sense of a sceptical philosophical tendency."
