There are three later editions of Arcadelt’s third book of madrigals a 4: 154111, 154320, and 155622. In RISM, B I, [c.1556]23 is erroneously listed as an edition of this anthology, although the three surviving part books are in fact those of 153923 (the copies preserved in Venice). For a summary of Arcadelt’s other collections of madrigals a 4, see the description of 153922. For further information, see BernsteinM 1998, no. 2, EitnerB 1877, Vogel Arcadelt 34a, VogelB 1977, and CMM 31, which includes a modern edition of the collection.
