The second book has a separate dated title page that reads: Historia Nerdiludii, hoc est dicere trunculorum.

"Liber deliciae regum" ascribed to Leone Modena. Cf. Encyc. Judaica, v. 8, col. 963.
The imprint is from the title-page of book 1: Mandragorias.

Misbound: the titlepage for "Shahiludium" and the following leaf are bound at the beginning of the book
Further directions for the book-binder (Book 2): First, there is a generall title-page in breif of the whole work, with the license on the back of it. Then there is a larger title-page to the first part of the first book. ... The second book about the other Eastern games, which begins with Historia Nerdiludii, is one single part, and has a distinct proper title-page..."
