Salve George!
>I have come across several references to an Italian
>literary history, written in Latin (probably in the early
>C17th), and described by Quadrio, among others, as
>'Caferro, *Synth. vetust.*'. I had though it might be one
>of the various works (going under an alternative title) of
>the C16th pedagogue Girolamo Cafaro (Capharus), but that
>now seems unlikely, as he is also mentioned in relation to
>*Il pastor fido*, and Cafaro's dates don't appear to
>stretch that far. If anyone can offer a clue I would be
>most grateful.
I hope these two titles (the second one is clearly a reprint) might be useful; I've
copied these from the Vatican Library's online catalogue.
