Specialist Notes
Fourth edition of Franciosini's famous Italian version of the Spanish masterpiece, first printed in Italian between 1622 and 1625 by the Baba of Venice. It is a free version with several changes of Cervantes' text to evade some obstacles placed in the way of censorship. See Palau II, 171; Del Rio y Rico 421.
