Caviceo's romance was first printed at Parma in 1508, and the very popular French translation by François Dassi first appeared at Paris in 1527. The Pilgrim's wanderings, undertaken for the sake of the beautiful Genèvre, take him to Mount Sinai and Cyprus. Like the Fairfax Murray copy, this copy lacks the final leaf, 'probably blank'. Davis, Murray French , 80 (variant imprint); cf. Brunet I, 1701.
