I am not aware of any modern edition of Giraldi Cinthio's Dell' Ercole. I've
only seen the Modena 1558 edn. Quite an interesting work which has more
Statius (Achilleid) in it thanVirgil. A big influence on Tasso too. If
you're searching for editions it's worth being aware that some catalogues
spell him Cinzio, others list him under Giraldi. For these reasons I can't
be sure there isn't something lurking around, but the general critical
neglect of the work suggests to me that there isn't anything.
