"Printed by Robertus Stephanus, the son of the great Robertus and brother of Henricus. The text closely follows the elder Stephanus' first edition of 1546 [D. & M. 4616], differing only in five places, in three of which it agrees with the edition of 1549, and in two with that of 1550 ... The book closely resembles in size and type the 'O mirificam' editions [of 1546, 1549: D. & M. 4616, 4620] ... The body of the type has been slightly reduced" (D. & M.).
