Basileæ, 1567, fol. This edition, Adelung says, is only to be found in the superficial and untrustworthy Burch. Ad. Sellius in his Schediasma Literarium de scriptoribus qui Historiam Rossicam scriptis illustrarunt.” Revaliæ, 1736, 8vo., p. 19.[1]

Basileæ, 1571, fol., ex officina Oporiniana; 327 pages.

Basileæ, 1573, fol. This edition likewise is only mentioned by Sellius, in his “Schediasma Literarium”, and is consequently not to be trusted.
