   • 1934, K[athleen] M[arguerite] Lea, “Introduction, Description of a Typical Performance”, in Italian Popular Comedy: A Study in the Commedia dell’arte, 1560–1620, with Special Reference to the English Stage, volume I, New York, N.Y.: Russell & Russell, published 1962, →ISBN, part I (The Nature of the Commedia dell’arte), pages 3–4:

     There exist one printed and eight manuscript collections of scenari, or soggetti, compiled between 1611 and 1734, and from these and a few separate extant examples we have more than six hundred of the play-plots that were used for improvisation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Though we can often trace the sources of the scenari, we rarely come upon the names of the authors, and many were the result of collaboration. As stage documents the scenari are circumstantial and businesslike, they make no pretensions towards literary style.

   • 1946, John Munro, “Shakespeare’s ‘Tempest’”, in The New English Review, volume 12, page 63:

     […] magic enters into the stories as a directing force, generally in the service of a magician; animals are much referred to, or much in evidence; the gods of Olympus themselves in some cases intervene in the doings and love-affairs of the mortals; satyrs, nymphs, and spirits abound; and the scenari have happy endings in the union of the lovers. […] The scenari are not without cause termed pastorals and associated with Arcadia. Their makers borrowed extensively from the great body of Arcadian stories widespread in Europe.

   • 1989, Claude J[ean] Allegre, “Mantle cycling: Process and time scales”, in Stanley R[obert] Hart, Levent Gülen, editors, Crust/Mantle Recycling at Convergence Zones (NATO Advanced Science Institutes Series; C: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; 258), Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, →ISBN, pages 3 and 11:

     Different scenari can be built up in this case. For example: / - The slab penetrates the lower mantle, and the residual wedge is mixed with the upper mantle (Fig. 3b). This scenario will accommodate Creager and Jordan's interpretation of seismic paths at subduction zones (9), as well as isotopic constraints on MORB genesis.
