  • -  明嘉靖三十七年南京十三道監察御史刻本 冊葉裝 序言十七行三十六字 四周雙邊 白口 無魚尾 版匡高33.7寬33.5公分（全幅） 全書高41.5寬18.9公分.
  • -  "嘉靖戊午南京十三道監察御史重刊."
  • -  明羅洪先撰。此本雕印極精，折葉裝訂，凡一百一十七疊葉。卷末題：「嘉靖戊午南京十三道監察御史重刊」。按戊午為嘉靖三十七年（1558），從萬曆間錢岱翻刻本所載胡松、徐九臯兩序，知胡氏始刻是書於浙，時為嘉靖四十年（1561），則此本前於胡本者凡三年。然胡氏自序稱日本及琉球兩圖，為其所補入，今此本亦有琉球圖及日本圖，則亦為出於胡松校訂之本矣。此題云：「南京十三道監察御史重刊」，似此本之前，尚有一刻本，書闕有間，今不可攷矣。又以此本與錢本相較，知錢本之《華夷總圖》，即此本之《四夷圖》，是其圖不始於錢岱。此本又有《內三關邊圖》，不見錢本，亦不見於嘉靖四十年胡松自序。又桂萼、許論之說，為韓君恩所竄入，說見君恩自序。而錢本每圖後有「敘」，此本無之，未審亦為韓氏所加否也？朱思本(序)延祐七年(1320)，自序.
