| - | + | '''Christophorus Valdarfer''' was an early printer, active in [[Venice]] in the second half of the fifteenth century. | |
| - | Early editions of the ''Facetiae'' are rare, and they are not yet described in an organized fashion as is common for [[Incunable|''incunabula'']]. It was, evidently, very popular: an 1894 bibliography lists twenty editions from the fifteenth century, and states that the oldest is printed by [[Georgius Lauer]] in Rome and is known as [[Ludwig Hain|Hain]] 13179 (a [[quarto]] with 110 leaves). The second oldest is called Reichling 1919 (100 leaves). The 100-leaf edition, despite having been described elsewhere as the first printing, is now generally held to be later than the 110-leaf edition, which is traditionally thought to be the [[editio princeps]]; both were printed in Rome in 1471/1471. An edition from 1473–1476, Hain 13182, was printed somewhere in Poland. [[Christophorus Valdarfer]] in Venice likewise printed an edition (with 76 leaves) in 1470/1471, and [[Andreas Belfortis]] in Ferrara printed one dated 1471. According to Lotte Hellinga, the Venice edition by Valdarfer is probably older than Lauer's edition printed in Rome, and most likely served as its exemplar. | + | |

| - | The last tale on farting involves a wife and her husband. The wife, observing a ram copulating with a sheep, asks how the ram chooses his mate, to which the husband answers that ram chooses the sheep that farts. He confirms to her that humans works the same way, after which she farts, and they have sex; she farts again, with the same result. When she farts a third time, the husband says, "I'm not making love to you again, even if you shit out your soul." | + | |
