Incipit: ‘[H]erodoti Halicarnasei Historiae explicatio haec est: Vt neque ea quae gesta sunt . . .’ The translator's name is given in the colophon. Mancinellus's work as editor is apparent from the dedicatory letter.

Venice: Johannes and Gregorius de Gregoriis, de Forlivio, 8, [after 29] Mar. 1494. Folio.
The date in the colophon is 8 Mar., but the letter of the editor, Mancinellus, at the end of the prelims, to Nicolaus Rubeus, is dated ‘tertio Cal. Aprilis', that is 30 Mar. 1494; BMC and Sheppard compute this date as 29 Mar.
