Summary
"Titlepage" says "Arie del Atto Primo" but volume includes 2nd and 3rd acts also, with separate "titlepages". Decorative calligraphic initial P at beginning of first aria. Manuscript unlikely to be Scarlatti's autograph (hand does not correspond with what is shown in Pagani & Bianchi's 1972 biography; could be an English hand.)
