Written by a Scotsman who was born and bred in France it was reprinted in Latin twenty times with the first seventy years and was also translated into French Dutch and German. It was never translated into English although the original was widely read in England at the time. Our translation was thus the first to introduce Euphormio's bizarre and unpredictable adventures to the ordinary reader" Cock-A-Hoop 196. Golden Cockerel Press unknown
