A translation of parts 1-2 of: Palmerin of England.
The original is variously considered to have been a Portuguese work by Francisco de Moraes or a Spanish work by Luis de Hurtado.

Signatures: A-2D⁸; A⁴ B-2E⁸ 2F⁴.
The second part has separate dated title-page and register.
Munday's reference to a third part and the colophon, are on leaf Ff3r,v, of part 2.
The first leaf is blank except for signature-mark "A" with ornaments; the last leaf is blank.
Indexed in: STC (2nd ed.) 19164.
