Four years later a Fourth Decade was published by its author, this being the last work he gave to the press during his lifetime.  The earliest known copy was printed in Basle in 1521, the title being De insulis nuper repertis simultaque incolarum moribus.  An Italian and a German edition of the same in 1520 are noted by Harrisse. (Consult Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima, p. 77, Additions, p. 80.)

The Fourth Decade under the title, De Insulis nuper inventis, etc., was republished in Basle in 1533 and again in Antwerp in 1536.

De Legatione Babylonica, Parisiis, 1532, contains also the first three Decades.  Mazzuchelli mentions an edition of the eight Decades published in Paris in 1536.
