With a dedication to 'Cardinal di Lorena' (probably Charles de Lorraine (1567-1607)) in Italian, dated ‘20 di Marzo 1591’.

The last canzonetta on the last page is given without harpsichord and lute tablatures and without the text for extra verses. This is the only canzonetta that has the parts named: ‘Basso, Tenore, Alto, Canto’.

At the bottom of each canzonetta there is text for three more verses.

With elaborate set of four engravings on title page representing a music scene with voices, keyboard, and lutes; a violin player; a satyr with pan-flute, and an allegorical scene of blacksmiths around the anvil.

The print was engraved by various hands (at least 4). Vogel-Einstein note that only some copies have the wording ‘Raccolte et stampate da Simone Verovio’ on the title page.
