A. A. Renouard, Annales de l'imprimerie des Aldes. (Paris, 1834) 3rd ed., p. 341 n.

[2]

Cf. E. M. Albright, Dramatic publications in England, 1980-1640 (New York, 1927), p. 391: The Careless Shepherdess, 1656; Tom Tyler and his Wife, 1661.

Renouard 237,1 (1586); 240,4 (1588); 242,8, 243,12 (1589); 244,2-4, 246,11 (1590); 246,1-2,5, 247,6 (1591); 248,2-4,6, 249,12 (1592); 252,1 (1594); 252,2-3 (1595); 254,1 (1598).

[4]

Printed on leaf Aa4, recto and verso.

[5]

Printed on the verso of leaf Y4.

[1]

It is interesting to note that Giunta published a Galen edition in 1586.

[2]

The Breviarium, 1568, in fol., apparently sold out.

[3]

Quarto edition, 1573, apparently sold out.

[4]

R.228.8 (1580): "Il y a sous cette même date deux éditions, desquelles, au reste, le choix est tout-à-fait indifférent." Since he describes only an edition in 8vo, this is either an error, or, if truly an edition in 16mo, it is unknown to R.

[5]

R. does not know a reprint of v.2; v.2 may therefore be a "remainder" from the 1575 edition, or it is unknown to R.

[6]

5 Tasso items, part of the Rime e prose, but sold separately.

[7]

Reissue of volumes first issued separately.

[8]

Renouard has not seen this volume and doubts its existence.

[9]

Listed by Renouard under 1589; he has not seen it and quotes it from the 1589 Catalogue.

[10]

Pre-publication announcement of 1587 edition.

[11]

The 1586 listing refers either to the 1580 edition, or is a pre-publication announcement. The 1592 listing gives the date 1580, which is curious, if not a mistake. The latter is quite plausible, since the editions of 1576, 1580 and 1587 are identical except for the first eight leaves.

[12]

Renouard 227,2 says: "Les catalogues d'Alde en indiquent une edition que je ne connois point."

[6]

Including some items printed outside Venice.
