Strada's work consists of twenty books divided into two decades or volumes. The second decade (1578-1590) appeared in 1647. The two decades were first issued together (Decades duae) in 1651. Each decade was again published separately, 1653 and later. A third decade, written by the author, was not published, owing to obstacles interposed by the Spanish court. cf. Vander Haeghen, Bibl. belg.

Continuations were written by G. Dondini and A. Gallucci.
