Originally published in 2 volumes at Medina del Campo, 1575.
Title pages for volumes 2-3 read: Segunda [-Tercera] parte de las Republicas del mundo. Imprint for both volumes: En Salamanca, en casa de Iuan Fernandez. M.D. XCV.
Colophon v.2: En Salamanca, en casa de Diego Cosio. Año. 1594; colophon v.3: En Salamanca, en casa de Juan Fernandez, 1594.
Four sections in v.3 have special illustrated title pages, but continuous foliation and signatures, with imprint: En Medina del Campo. Por Sanctiago del Canto impressor de libros. Año. D.M. XCIIII. [sic] at leaf [21]; En Medina del Campo. Año. D.M. XCIIII. [sic] at leaf [44]; and with no imprint at leaves 67 and 99. Leaves [20] recto and 43 recto have a vignette, representing a printer's device, with monogram P.C.
Several variants are known. Apparently each of the title pages exists in two states, with the addition of the publisher in the imprint (as described for v.1) or without it. Another variant has a title page for v.3 that agrees with that of v.1, including the title, engraved vignette and imprint. The designation for the volume follows the edition statement: Tercera parte. Yet another variant of v.3 has the foliation 245-252 for the first group of numbered leaves in that volume.
