Description: "A slightly incomplete translation of the Histoire tragi-comique de nostre temp sous les noms de Lysandre et de Caliste, a popular prose romance by Vital d'Audiginei first published in 1615. The first English translation appeared in 1617. This satire appears to be the source for "The Wandering Lovers", a play attributed to John Fletcher licensed for performance in 1623 and known to have been performed in 1634. It is probably the same in a revised from as Massinger's "The Tragedy of Cleander" licensed and performed also in 1634, which may be the same as "Lisander and Calista"; which is probably the same as the play, published in 1647 in the Beaumont & Fletcher folio as "The Lovers' Progress"."--ebay.uk.
