Although subsequent editions of the "Guide into tongues" do not include the "Vocabularium Hispanicolatinum", the text of the inserted subscribers' list "A catalogue..." states that this was meant to be issued with this edition.
"A catalogue ...." is an inserted leaf listing subscribers printed between 1616-1620 (STC 17944a); the leaf is typically inserted following the preliminaries.
This edition is the first work to be published by subscription.
STC identifies the printers as William Stansby and Melchisidec Bradwood.
