This selection is, as DGR's heading indicates, from Book IV chapter 23 and the source text was the 1826 Milano edition edited by Vincenzo Monti (pages 349-352). DGR's extended note on Fazio and his work is quite informative in various respects. Also, DGR's textual note to this extract is important for setting the <hi rend="i">Dittamondo</hi> as a conscious secular reflection of, and on, Dante's <hi rend="i">Commedia</hi> .

DGR's choice of passages was clearly dictated by certain programmatic concerns that he had for his book of translations. The selections situate Fazio's work in an English relation and context.
