Publication History
Libro secondo was first printed in Pisa in 1608 by Giovanni Fontanini and dedicated to Christofano Chigi, a Knight of Malta. The print run seems to have been small, given that copies quickly became so rare that as early as the 1670s bibliographers expressed doubt that it ever existed.
In 2013, it was translated into English by Piermarco Terminiello and published by Fox Spirit Books under the title The 'Lost' Second Book of Nicoletto Giganti (1608).
