Parallel Italian and French texts, utilising De Torche‟s translation and reinstating the
Prologo, though in Italian only as it was never translated by the Abbé. The preface,
in French, is signed J. G. Schumann, the „Gio. G. S.‟ of the titlepage, and is dated 1
May 1734. The title-page is in red and black and the engraved frontispiece (reading
Le berger fidele) and 5 plates are by Böcklin, based on those of Blooteling (see, for
example, 1702/2 and 3).
