"N: de St Sernin" is otherwise unknown & possibly pseudonymous. Howell claimed to have done the translation himself, with the assistance of "one of the Academie des beaux esprits", usually identified as Jean Baudoin. Cf. Howell's Epistolae Ho-Elianae, ed. J. Jacobs (1890), p.352. No "Saint Sernin" is known as a member of the Académie.

A reissue of the first edition, 1641, with three leaves of commendatory verses (prelim. leaves 2-4) and added t.-p. added; the contributors to the verses include "J. Baudovin" & "N: Conrard [i.e. Valentin Conrart?]".

The four full-page illustrations are printed on prelim. leaves 2v-4r.
