Ridolfi's "Tavola di tvtte le rime de i Sonetti e Canzoni del Petrarca" is an edition published simultaneously by Rouillé with most of his various editions of Petrarch, the page-references of the Ridolfi fitting the Petrarch published the same year; editions of Ridolfi are often found bound with the Petrarch to which they refer, but the 2 works seem to have been available separately, though they may also have been issued together; the mention on the title-page of Petrarch of "vna conserva di tutte le sue rime" may refer to the "Tavola delle desinenze de Sonetti, & Canzoni del Petrarca, secondo l'ordine delle cinque vocali" (bound with in this copy with signatures *-*3⁸), which is an abridgment of "Tavola di tvtte le rime de i Sonetti e Canzoni del Petrarca" bound at the end in this copy with a separate title page (In Lyone : Appresso Gulielmo Rouillio, 1551).

"Tauola delle desinenze de sonetti, & canzoni del Petrarca ..." is an abridgment of Luca Antonio Ridolfi's "Tauola di tutte le rime de i sonetti e canzoni del Petrarca," an edition of which was published simultaneously by Rouillé with most of his various editions of Petrarch. In many cases corresponding Rouillé editions of "Il Petrarca" and Ridolfi's "Tauola" are found bound together, possibly as issued, but the works also seem to have been available separately. The phrase "vna conserua di tutte le sue rime" on the title-page of 'Il Petrarca' may refer to the "Tauola delle desinenze" rather than to the separate Ridolfi.
