title: Don Zara Del Fogo
variant_description: There are three issues of this collection, with different book titles and author attributions on their title pages. Wing H2437 contains the original title leaf dated 1656; its preliminaries contain a dedication but not an engraved frontispiece. In Wing H2445, dated 1656, the original half-sheet <i>A</i><sup>4</sup> was replaced by a single fold <i>A</i><sup>2</sup>; its preliminaries contain an engraved frontispiece [<i>A</i>1v] but no dedication. In Wing H2443, dated 1660, the original half-sheet <i>A</i><sup>4</sup> was replaced a single fold <i>A</i><sup>2</sup>; its preliminaries contain an engraved frontispiece [<i>A</i>1v] but no dedication, and the imprint lists the book as "Printed for the Author." (Greg distinguishes these three issues as 768a(i), 768a(ii), and 768a(iii), but these changes to the collection do not affect the play <i>Venus and Adonis</i>, which remains unchanged in each issue).
