_Errors and anomalies noted by transcriber:_
This e-text is based on a facsimile edition made from a single copy of the 1592 original. In some places, text is illegible or missing.
"The Italian version" refers to the 1499 text. At time of preparation, page images of this book were available at http://mitpress.mit.edu/e-books/HP/hyp000.htm and linked pages. Note that the 1592 English translation covers just under half the Italian text. The Italian was consulted in some cases of uncertain readings in the English. The sidenotes have no Italian equivalent.
Oddities of punctuation are as in the original, but missing full stops at paragraph-end have been supplied.
The text often prints [ae] in place of [oe], especially when italicized: Ph[ae]bus; Cr[ae]sus (twice); C[ae]us The spellings _Pasiph[ae]_ (for Pasiphae or Pasiphae:) and _Androdus_ (for Androclus or Androcles) were also left unchanged.
