" 8° Decembris 1 63 1. Master Blunt, Entredfor his Copy vnder the handes
of master Weckerlyn. and both the wardens a Booke called Millitary Rules
written by Lewis Melzo a knight of the order of Malta —Arber, iv. 267.
Allowing for the usual time elapsing between licensing and publishing,
the imprint would be dated 1632. [V. No. 123 and Orig. 723,]
123. Sixteen-thirty-two. Basta, Giorgio.
The Government of the Light Horse.

Eodem die [December 8, 1631]. Entred for his Copy vnder the same
handes a booke called The gouerment of the light horse by George Basta an
Earle of the sacred Empire in Hurst and Marifioras ^f."—Arber, iv. 267.
I can find no further record of this translation. This remark applies also to
the translation of Melzo's " Military Rules," entered to the same printer, on
the same day [No. 122], and it is probable, that, as in the case of Nos. 47 and
48, the two translations were intended as complements, and were to have
been issued together. But if they were actually printed, which is doubtful,
both are now lost ; it is strange that succeeding writers, and especially that
Sir James Turner, should not have mentioned them. On the other hand,
the same remark would most certainly have been made of the translation of
Londoiio, which likewise has entirely disappeared, had not a copy of its
companion, the translation of Valdes, been discovered by Hazlitt.
