Even at the starting od XIX century Pillet, in the item dedicated to Fontana in Biographie universelle ancienne et moderne gave a positive judgment, considering the work richer and easier to be consulted than the work of Upen, despite the correction, integration and Supplementa that, differently from Fontana, enriched this last work along the time.

Fontana si accinse alla compilazione di quest’opera ispirandosi alla Bibliotheca legalis, catalogo manoscritto di Domenico Maria Corsi, futuro cardinale e vescovo di Rimini, e integrandola con le voci contenute nel repertorio di Martin Upen (Bibliotheca realis, Francoforte, 1679). Una volta pubblicato, l’Amphitheatrum ebbe una grande diffusione in Italia e all’estero. Ancora all'inizio dell’Ottocento, Pillet, nella voce dedicata al Fontana della Biographie universelle ancienne et moderne ne dava un giudizio positivo, ritenendolo piu ricco e più facilmente consultabile dell’opera di Lápenio, nonostante le correzioni, le aggiunte e i supplementi di cui quest’ultima, al contrario di quella del Fontana, era stata progressivamente arricchita. Traces of foxing, but overall a very good copy.
