This edition is not in Greg; we have therefore identified it as Greg 51π. Imperfect copy: survives in four leaves only. See Paul Morgan, "Fragments of Three Lost Works from the Stationers' Registers Recently Found in Bindings in College Libraries," <i>Bodleian Library Record</i> 7.6 (Feb. 1967): 300-2. In <i>The Stationers' Company and the Printers of London, 1501-1557</i> (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2013), Peter W. M. Blayney dates this edition to "1558" (Appendix K, 2:1048).
