A new edition of Lubomirski‟s Polish translation, first published in 1694 (see 1694/2),
printed by J. L. Nicolai and dedicated by Laurer to the voivode Jakub Zygmunt
Rybiński and his wife Helena Potocka. The dedication is dated 11 March 1722. With
additional engraved frontispiece-title by Samuel Donnet (Thorunii, apud Johann
Christian Laurer) and 6 engraved illustrations, 5 for the Pastor fido and one full-page
plate for the Kawaler Polski, a translation of Jean de Préchac‟s Le beau Polonais,
which follows. The pagination actually runs 1-360, 161-206, the Pastor fido
occupying the first 334 pages of the text proper, pp. 335-340 being occupied by a
synopsis of the play. The prelims contain principally, in addition to Laurer‟s 9-page
dedicatory preface, a 5-page life of Guarini and, on the verso of the printed title, an
elaborate engraved coat of arms of the dedicatees, accompanied by 2 enigmatic
couplets alluding to the arms themselves.
