Notes: "In the present translation, made from Italian versions of such facetiae as were originally written in Latin, only about one third or less of Poggio's facetiae have been included, the rest being chiefly taken from Carbone and Pontano through Dominichi's compilation. Several of the facetiae in Domenichi's collection are from foreign, and especially German, sources."--Introd., p. 29-30.
