"Edizione ... contraffatta sulla Giuntina dell'anno 1568"--Note at beginning of [3] pages of additional poems appended to this copy of the facsimile.

A facsimile of the 1568 edition, executed under the care of Gamba, of which 100 copies were issued. Added are two leaves containing canzone from the first edition of Pacini and from that of 1562.

The facsimile edition may be distinguished from the original by the first initial of the Canzoni, which in the original shows two human figures, and in the reprint a landscape with buildings--cf. Gamba, Serie dei testi di lingua, 4. ed. 1839, no. 266.

La Boca da Dicomano, attributed here to Lorenzo de' Medici, is by Luigi Pulci.
