Thieme-Becker calls for 103 ports., though the 99 in the present copy correspond to the number in the index. At least some of the ports. are after Tobias Stimmer; see )(3v in pref. and Thieme-Becker. Additional contributions may be by Christoph Murer, Manuel Teutsch and Rudolf Manuel. The ports. of Wilibald Pirkheimer, Erasmus, Luther, and Caspar Schwenckfeldt draw on models by Dürer, Hans Holbein, Lucas Cranach the Elder, and Virgil Solis; see Thieme-Becker. The arms on the t.p. verso are those of Frederick II, King of Denmark and Norway (1534-1588), to whom the work is dedicated.

Includes indexes.
