Fourteenth edition overall (first: Venice 1582) of this extremely successful play, but first with the intermedii, which replace Ongaro's prologue and choral songs. This edition is dedicated to Cardinal Serra by Baldini (from Ferrara, last day of February 1614). In the printer's foreword, Baldini states that Enzo Bentivogli planned a performance fifteen months earlier and he put together an edition including these intermedii. But the plans were postponed and the intermedii were performed with the tragedy Idalba instead. However, Baldini is publishing the intermedii with Alceo, as originally planned. Though attributed to Guarini on the title page, the intermedii are probably the work of Ottavio Magnanini (Arsiccio Accademico Ricreduto), who also provided the prose description.
