His scholarly output exemplifies the polymathy typical of the Venetian “heyday of curiosity” (Pomian 1990: 65-120). His major works include the following: 1. Series Augustorum (1702), a series of brief biographies of European rulers and their immediate families, from Julius Caesar to Patarol’s own day. 2. Panegyrica (1708), an edition of the fourth-century Panegyrici Latini, accompanied by the first complete Italian translation of the text. 3. Bombyces (1743), a three-book poem on the silkmoth in Latin hexameters, with extensive notes.
