    The edition reproduced in the Bagford volume is fragmented. See the ESTC entry for information about the locations of the fragments. According to both the ESTC and the British Library's catalog, the full text is titled "Stultifera nauis, qua omnium mortalium narratur stultitia, admodum vtilis & necessaria ab omnibus ad suam salutem perlegenda, è Latino sermone in nostrum vulgarem versa, & iam diligenter impressa. An. Do. 1570. = The ship of fooles, wherin is shewed the folly of all states with diuers other workes adioyned vnto the same, very profitable and fruitfull for all men. Translated out of Latin into Englishe by Alexander Barclay priest."

    This item is not a ballad, but is archived in EBBA because it is included in the important Bagford collection of ballads.
