Brunet describes this edition in his entry for the 1529 edition: "Ebert, no 15728, décrit un autre édit. in-8., sans lieu ni date, qu'il attribute aux Juntes de Florence, et qui est peut-être antérieure à 1529. Elle n'a que 99 ff. et 1 bl., signat. A-N." The afore-mentioned Ebert: "A scarce edition [the 125-leaf, 1529 edition]. The edition, without place and date (Fir, Giunta) 8°, 99 leaves and 1 blank leaf, with the signatures A-N, is still more scarce, and probably also still earlier."

Another edition of this title was published at Florence by the Giunta family (Bernardo and/or Benedetto? other heirs of Philippo?) in 1529. See LCCN 19005679.
