Review
Follows Reinhold Pauli (1857) with a few (mistaken) corrections from Bertelette; leaves out "Canace," CA, Book III, 143-336, as "unfit for popular reading," and omits without explanation Book IV, 401-08; 428-36; 443-506; 516-23; 1467-75; 1490-1594; 2131-82; 2754-70; 2858-62; 2883-88; 3181-3302. Surveys previous editions of CA; brief biography. [RFY1891].
