vii TABLE OF CONTENTS (Continued) Page Emendations of Accidentals 315 Emendations of Punctuation 316 Collation [Containing Rejected Substantive Variants in B] 316 GLOSSARY 318 LIST OF WORKS CITED 329
ABSTRACT In the Introduction to this edition I discuss Tofte's biography, describe his canon, analyze his translation of Ariosto's Satires, and provide a statement of editorial principles. The Text includes a facsimile of the title page of Tofte's book, the epistle "To the Reader," the "Argument of the whole worke," the text of the seven satires, and Tofte's 191 annotations. The Explanatory Notes identify Tofte's sources and allusions, comment on the accuracy of his translation and the nature of his annotations, and identify his additions to and deletions from the Italian text. The Textual Notes contain four lists: (1) Emendations of Substantives; ('2) Emendations of Accidentals; (3) Emendations of Punctuation; and (4) Rejected Substantive Variants in the 1611 Edition. The Glossary records definitions of obsolete or archaic words used by Tofte. A List of Works Cited follows the Glossary. Ariosto's Satyres was printed at London by Nicholas Okes for Roger Jackson in 1608; a reprint of this followed in 1611. Although the name of Gervase Markham appears on the title page of the 1608 edition, it is clear that Robert Tofte (15617-1620) was the translator. In the text of his translation and in his copious annotations, Tofte attempted to adapt Ariosto's Satires to an audience he assumed to be more interested in Ariosto's biography and Italian customs than in a faithful translation. Nevertheless, his book is the first English translation of the earliest vernacular imitations of formal verse satire. viii
