GW dates [c.1480]. Allen suggests that this edition was published during Balbus' stay in Paris (summer 1485-92); it must have appeared before Tardif's Antibalbica I, which criticized the preface of Diomedes, and which was published first in 1487; this suggests that the Diomedes might be redated to between 1485 and 1487.
