Frontispiece framed within a beautiful frame adorned with foliage and flowers and three woodcuts in the text, as well as some large initials engraved in wood.
Example with a tear on the f. 61 and related loss of about twenty words of text, several marginal wormholes that sometimes invade the print, a reinforcement on the title page but, overall, apart from the wear and tear of time, quite well preserved. Very rare edition unknown to Schweiger and Brunet.
