The title page of a copy in my possession dated 1678 has differenct wording of the title.  Uses the words "the description of the seraglio" which is different from the title here.  Could one be a second printing?

*****

This title has several variants, which are noted in the EEBO record, though none of the variants listed in the EEBO record with "the description of the seraglio" is a 1678 edition.

ESTC, however, lists two 1678 titles with such wording.  The title seems to have undergone frequent revision during the printing process, and the new language was subsequently taken up in what ESTC lists as the 2nd edition in 1684.
