FIRST ITALIAN-LANGUAGE EDITION PRINTED IN FRANCE of Ariosto's poem. In the same year Faure-Honorat also issued an 8vo edition and Rouillé an edition in 16mo. The Furioso had previously been printed in Paris and Lyons only in its French and Spanish translations.
The significant production of Italian books that came out of French presses in the 1540s and 1550s were intended not only for Italians residing in France, but also the many French speakers who had learned Italian over the course of war, study, or business, including many impressive noblewomen (cf. J. Balsamo, L'italianisme lyonnais et l'illustration de la langue française, in: “Lyon et l'illustration de la langue française à la Renaissance”, Lyon, 2003, pp. 211-229).
