First URL is accessible only from USA. Second URL leads to a copy held by Raccolta delle stampe Achille Bertarelli, but, since the title page is missing, it is not clear if it is 1602 or 1604 edition. Bertarelli copy also lacks many pages of Tavola delli capitoli and dedications. According to Pamela Jones (see pp. 85–102 of the first volume of [Jones, 1988]) and Greg Lindahl's special page, multiple different copies of both [Negri, 1602] and [Negri, 1604] exist. In particular, there might be extra due spezzati e un seguito col sinistro in terza parte of Il Torneo Amoroso (p. 140, not present in both copies, but known to be present in ONB copy, which is not available online), a correction of the abbreviations for due passi gravi, due passi in seconda parte of Laura gentile (p. 209, present in both copies), paste-on correction in the prima parte of Alta Visconte, which reverses the starting position (p 182, present in Forni copy, and clearly visible in Bertarelli copy), the text bell'ingegno Milano might be changed to Bernardo Rainoldo (p. 11, text line 16, change present in both copies), the dedicatee of Adda Felice can be changed from Isabella d'Adda to Beatrice Adda (p. 213, change not present in Forni copy — note that there might be two pages numbered 213 in the book!, but Bertarelli copy jumps from the first page 213 straight to the page 215, so the text is incomplete), and some minor revisions which do not affect the choreography (no comparison has been made, see above links for the details). University of California copy was scanned from a facsimile edition published by Arnaldo Forni [Negri, 1983].
