*Munday's authorship of the second part of this translation, which was published in 1595, is disputed; however, Munday included it in the 1618-19 edition of all four parts.

†This work was revised by Thomas Dekker, Henry Chettle, probably William Shakespeare, and perhaps Thomas Heywood.

‡This work is Munday's enlargement of a work originally written by John Stow. A further enlargement was completed by Munday, Humphrey Dyson, and others, and published in 1633.
