After publishing a revised version of Fanshawe‟s English translation in 1735 (see
1735/3), Richard Montagu and his associates published five editions of Guarini in or
around 1736: this dated edition of the Italian text, an undated one, two parallel text
editions (one dated and one undated) employing the revised translation, and a dated
edition of the English text alone. It seems sensible to group these five editions
together here. The dated edition of the Italian text has an engraved frontispiece
reading Il pastor fido or The faithfull shepherd signed „S.F‟ and 6 numbered plates,
here bound together at the end.
