The greatest part of the stone buildings collapsed, including the 15th-century Fatih Mosque. The shocks also caused important damage to the bazaar. Only one copy in the Italian institutional libraries and no copy recorded in OCLC. F. Luccichenti, I Chracas stampatori in Roma (1698-1771), “L’Urbe“, xlvii (1984), pp. 136-142; C.
