Colophon of vol. 1: The text of this first volume ... has been prepared from that of the first English translation, printed by Isaac Jaggard for Mathew Lownes in 1625, and compared with the first edition of 1620. The wood engravings have been recut by E. J. Beedham and E. Joyce Francis from those in the edition printed by the brothers Gregorii in Venice in 1492.

Vol. I has, as special t.p., a reproduction of the t.p. of the 1625 edition: The modell of wit, mirth, eloquence and conversation framed in ten dayes, of an hundred curious pieces, by seven honourable ladies, and three noble gentlemen. Preserved to posterity by the renowned John Boccacio, the first refiner of Italian prose: and now translated into English.
