La Puttana Errante (c.1650-1660) is an anonymously published text in dialog form ascribed to Lorenzo Veniero. Like many "whore dialogues" in the seventeenth century, it was inspired by Pietro Aretino's earlier sonnets. It was translated into many European languages and its title was appropriated for a short-lived British periodical called The Wandering Whore.
Its bibliographic source is David Foxon's Libertine Literature in England, 1660-1745 (1965).
Pages 63 and 64 of Walter Kendrick's Secret Museum have some background info.
