<p><span>RELATED:<br /></span>This edition is based off of the 1602 edition. There has been an attempt to preserve the original layout. The engraved title page is a copy of the 1602 original. Notable differences include the replacing of a slot with women dancing with an inscription to the Senate of Bologna. Minor variances in the look of the heraldry. There appears to be a reprint of this edition in 1644.<br /> </p>
