A castrated version of Bandello, revised by Ascanio Centorio degli Ortensi, was published in 1560.[151] It omitted the dedications and preambles, suppressed some disquisitions which palliated vicious conduct, expunged the novels that brought monks or priests into ridicule, but left the impurities of the rest untouched.

A reformed version of Folengo's _Baldus_ appeared in 1561.

The satires on religious orders had been erased.

Zambellus was cuckolded by a layman instead of a priest.

Otherwise the filth of the original received no cleansing treatment.
