According to Ayala, the first ed., which he had seen, was printed in 1592;
but there must be a misprint, for that of 1596 is the first. It is of the
greatest rarity, very few copies having been printed, and these for presentation
to certain Christian princes only, each having a special Dedicatory
Epistle. The B.M. copy has the dedication to Vincenzo Gonzaga, dated 28
Oftober, 1596. See Gamba, " Serie dei Testi di lingua", Milano, 1812,

Ayala believes that the eds. of 1602 and 1708, mentioned by some of the
bibliographers, never existed. He gives Meietti as the printer of the ist ed.
