ÖNB catalogue uses Tractatus de arte saltandi italicus as the manuscript title and lists Giovvani Evangelista Pappazzoni as the manuscript author. None of these appear in the text and should be considered as cataloguing mistakes. Bibliographical information is based on [Motnik, 2012]. Manuscript title Ars saltandi appears on the front cover, but can not be found anywhere in the text.

Two different variants of Gourdoux' surname can be found. Early (published before 1823) books and book reviews give his surname as Gourdoux (or just J. H. G.), while his later publications [Gourdoux-Daux, 1823] and reviews give his name as Gourdoux-Daux. First names can be defined by comparing address of 1823 edition [Gourdoux-Daux, 1823] with this Ordonnance du Roi about giving the certificate pour un cheval mécanique to Jean-Henri Gourdoux. Should not be confused with Gourdoux-fils

Markowski (sometimes spelled as Markowsky) is believed to be a pseudonym of Maurice Mayer (sometimes just Maurice), according to various publications from 10.09.1857, 16.09.1857, 1864, 1867, 07.08.1868, 05.10.1873. He is said to have taken Markowski as his pseudonym in two post-mortem publications from 14.04.1884 and 16.04.1884, where he is named Joseph Mayer, le petit juif de Posen, the jew of Polish origin.

Note:
Arrangement differs from USA-issued copy [Schubert, 1857?] (authored by Camille Schubert). There is no exact proof if title page says about Franz Peter Schubert or François Schubert (a. k. a. Franz Anton Schubert, the younger), or someone else. As far, as I know, Franz Peter Schubert hasn't arranged "The Lancer's". Figure 4bis is titled ‹Les graces›, but it contains 24 bars (20 bars are required) and wrong melody
