Two of the four incorrect editions published in the 17th century have the title..." given here. I.e., he is referring to the two editions of this particular variant title.

1958ⓘTranslated by Mary Prentice Lillie into English unrhymed hendecasyllabic verse.
Review by Dudley Fitts, <i>NY Times</i> 1959-04-05 pBR28, "How Best To Say It" focuses on the translation.
"It engages 'The Divine Comedy' with more regard than is usually shown for the athletic, colloquial quality of the original. ... fortunate avoidance of rhetorical splendor ... pure, in this respect, and unpretentious."
Unfortunately the project "to discard Dante's rhyme and keep his meter" is a failure inevitably. Eleven-syllable blank verse doesn't work in English, no more than the rhyme would.
