Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: all cites of Fairfax appear to be from the Godfrey of Bulloigne title. The edition SJ used is unknown (1600 first edition; there were three reprints in 1687, a Dublin printing in 1726 and a London 1749 printing with editorial changes). The majority of Fairfax cites list book and stanza number. The translation is from the 1581 Italian poem Gerusalemme liberata of Torquato Tasso (1544-1595).]
