Curio led a colorful life-he escaped from one prison by shackling a false leg to a wall and fleeing through an open window, and he had to leave Lausanne in 1546 over an affair with a female student-but he was a serious scholar whose friends included famous writers and printers like Froben and Oporinus. The very radioactive content that made it popular, however, has created formidable problems for the work's modern editors, who were confronted with a manuscript tradition that they were unable to straighten out to their full satisfaction in spite of a great deal of effort and with early clandestine editions whose priority and relationships were difficult to clarify as well. What they have provided is a critical edition based on what they have determined to be the editio princeps, with variants taken from the next edition of the first version of the text, followed by a transcription of the Italian translation as it appears in its first edition along with an extensive apparatus criticus.
