Pompeo Natali, Libro secondo de' solfeggiamenti a due e tre voci, per cantare, suonare con diversi stromenti, violino, violone, e flauto, ecc. Composti per li suoi scuolari in varie occorrenze per instruirli nella battuta e tuono. Nel fine si è posto il modo per intendere il tempo della Messa de l'Homme Armè del Palestina. Il rincontro delle chiavi. La valuta delle legature per intendere li libri antichi sì del Palestina, come d'altri (Mascardi, Rome 1681) RISM: N108
7 textless solfeggi a 2, 21 a 3, and a cantata «A 2 canti, basso e basso continuo divisa in 3 parti»: A battaglia, Alla pugna, Al ferir.
As it is stated on the title-page, at end of the Basso part-book we find a table («Rincontro delle Chiavi») useful for changing clefs and keys from several accidentals to easier clefs and/or keys. Next, there is a table listing all the incipits of all the sections of Palestrina's mass L'Homme armé, with thorough explanations on how the note values have to be played.
The three part-books have identical title-page. For the sake of clarity, they are called in the notes below «CANTO», «TENORE» and «BASSO».

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525 - 1594)
«Modo per intendere il tempo della Messa de l'Homme Arme del Palestina»

Nicola Neri
«Sumptibus Nicolai Neri eiusdem Authoris Discipuli»
Natali's pupil Nicola Neri funded the printing of this book.
Giovanni Battista Ugolini
«Si vendono [...] nella Scuola del Sig. Don Giovanni Battista Ugolini, al piè di marmo»
It is clear that Ugolini was music teacher. We know about an earlier Vincenzo Ugolini (1580 - 1638), who was a music teacher in Rome as well; hence he could have been related with Giovanni Battista. Via del Pie' di Marmo is still a street of Rome.
