| Description | Setting forth his birth, life, travels, and adventures in most parts of the world. How the Lady Fortune appeared to him, and gave him a rich purse that never wanted money; and also (in his travels) how he got from the Soldan a wishing hat, that by putting on his head, he could convey himself immediately into whatever place he desired. With an account how Fortunatus on his death-bed, declared to his two sons, Ampedo and Andolocia, the virtue of his purse and hat. |

Chapbooks are small booklets of 8, 12, 16 and 24 pages, often illustrated with crude woodcuts. Produced cheaply and sold by peddlars on the streets, they formed the staple reading material of the common people, along with broadsides. |
