STC of Italian Books 165 (only part I-III). Edit 16 on-line No. 10797. Cf. Bongi, Giolito II, 226. Cf. Riccardi I, 339. Cf. Cockle No. 524. The first edition of this military work appeared 1558-1562 in 5 discourses at the same printer, of which the first three discourses are here in a later edition; the fourth and fifth discourse were not reprinted again. So to complete our edition, sometimes part IV and V from 1559 and 1562 respectively were used. This is the reason that it is difficult to find the 5 discourses complete (See: Brunet I, 1738).
