This entry probably represents a conflation of several print collections containing motets by Monferrato. Monferrato published seven individual collections, of which six are preserved. Two of these are dedicated to Procurators of St Mark’s:
1) Motetti concertati a due e tre voci op. 3. Venice: Francesco Magni, 1655. 4 partbooks. RISM A/I: M 3037. Dedicated to Giacomo Cornaro, Procurator of St Mark’s.
2) Id. (reprint). Venice: Francesco Magni, 1660. 4 partbooks. RISM A/I: M 3038.
3) Motetti concertati a due e tre voci op. 18. Venice: Giuseppe Sala, 1681. 4 partbooks. RISM A/I: M 3050. Dedicated to the Procurators of St Mark’s.
A copy of this last edition is kept in the music collection of the Basilica of St Mark’s. On 31 Janurary 1670 (1669 more veneto), the Procurators of St Mark’s awarded Monferrato the sum of 120 ducats for ‘alcuni libri in stampa di sue composizioni’. The reference is probably to the Motetti concertati a due e tre voci, published in 1669 without opus number or dedication (Venice: Francesco Magni. 4 partbooks. RISM A/I: M 3043). Other possible editions:
1) Motetti a voce sola […] Libro primo op. 4. Venice: Alessandro Vincenti, 1655. 2 partbooks. RISM A/I: M 3041. Dedicated to Giovanni Domenico Biava, Governor of the Ospedale dei Mendicanti.
2) Motetti a voce sola […] Libro secondo op. 5. Venice: 1655-1666. Lost: presumably 2 partbooks.
3) Motetti a voce sola […] Libro terzo op. 6. Venice: Alessandro Vincenti, 1655. 2 partbooks. RISM A/I: M 3042.
