General Note:
Cioranescu erroneously ascribes publication to translator.; According to the Deutches Pseudonymen-Lexicon, Jac. Francus is a pseudonym for Conrad Memmius.; Translation of: Relationis historicae semestralis continuatio: Jacobi Franci historische Beschreibung der denckwerdigsten Geschichten, which seemingly began to be issued every six months at the Frankfurt book fairs beginning in 1583. It is unclear just how many of the issues were translated into French and Cioranescu lists only two, both issued in Geneva, in 1631, indexed under the translator.; "Prise de Fernambuk au Bresil": p. 148-153.; Signatures: pi² (pi1 verso, pi2 blank) a-r⁸; Woodcut printer's ornament on title page; head piece; initial.
