With table of contents: a2r-a6r.
Initial spaces with guide letters at beginning of books and in quires 2a-g; woodcut initials elsewhere.
18 woodcut illustrations (some repeated) and 6 woodcut diagrams.
The woodcut above the title ... represents the arms of Castile and Aragon. There are seventeen other cuts, prefixed to books ii-xvii and xix, that of a herdsman and flocks prefixed to book x being repeated before book xiv but being appropriate to neither ... If they derive from the cuts in the French version published at Lyons by Mathias Huss in 1485 and 1491/2, they are very freely treated; it has not been possible to determine their relation, if any, to those in the edition of Vérard, Paris, about 1493 ... There are also geometrical diagrams on 25b and optical diagrams on 30a--BM 15th cent.
