Verri (unnamed here) offers this vulgar ‘translation’ while his ‘edizione del Testo greco [...] con accanto la traduzione latina’ are in preparation – though of course never forthcoming. Numerous reprints often pair ‘Le Avventure’ with Vicenzo Imperiale’s forgery of Sappho’s own Faoniade (first edition also of 1780, see Bib# 7650157 in this collection for the 1792 edition).</span><br /></p><
