With engraved title-page and 6 plates by Sebastien Le Clerc (unsigned). The Pastor
fido ends on p. 238, the „nuova aggiunta‟ comprising „Facetie, motti & burle di diversi
signori e persone private, con epitafi giocosi‟, which have their own divisional title,
occupying the remainder of the volume.
According to Bérard (p. 231) there are „deux editions du Pastor fido sous la même
date de 1678 entre lesquelles je n‟ai remarqué aucune différence sensible‟, while
Rahir 1678 and 1679 (also 3456) show that the plates may be numbered or
unnumbered. In all the copies I have seen the frontispiece and the plates are
numbered 1 to 7. There are, however, two distinct patterns discernible when it comes
to the spacing and alignment of catchwords and page numbers, which may be what
Bérard had in mind, the following errors and corrections being the simplest way to
differentiate between the two issues: the catchword on p. 17 can be „Sa‟ or „Se‟ and
on p. 119 „O` qua‟ or „O` qual‟. The blank leaf following p. 134 is not present in all
the copies examined.
