The first edition of "I modi" was created in a collaboration between Giulio Romano and Marcantonio Raimondi.[1] It is thought to have been created in around 1524 to 1527.[2]

It is thought that Agostino Veneziano may have engraved a single replacement set of engravings based on offset drawings from the engravings in Marcantonio and Giulio's edition of "I modi".[3]This replacement set is thought to have been made in around 1530.[1]

These woodcut images below come from a booklet that is thought to copy images from Agostino Veneziano's copy of "I modi". This woodcut booklet was made in around 1555.[3]

It is unknown who the artist is of the woodcut booklet that is speculated to have been created in around 1555.[3]
