15 The entry in the ODNB states that it was printed at least four times before 1500, but I think that this must be a slip. See eg British Museum General Catalogue of Printed Books, vol 30 (London 1955), p 98, listing editions published in 1510, 1514, 1516, 1518 and 1521; the last edition to which I have seen a reference was published in London in 1590.
