Translation into Latin of: Raccolta di alcune cose più segnalate, che ebbero gli antichi, e di alcune altre trovate da' moderni. The latter, initially circulated in ms. copies only, was first published in an unauthorized Latin translation, Amberg, 1599-1602; condemned and prohibited by the Inquisition because of Salmuth's commentary, 1603-1605. The first Italian ed. (in part a retranslation from the Latin) was published in Venice, 1612, with commentary by the editor/translator, F. Gualtieri. Cf. note of A. Zeno in Biblioteca dell' eloquenza italiana di monsignore Giusto Fontanini (1753) v. 2, p. 250.

Commentary printed in double columns.

"De ziferis, seu furtivis literarum"--pt. 2, p. 262-268.

Both volumes contain references to the New World.

Includes indexes.
