Frontispiece from 1st ed. of 1638, there engraved by J.F. Greuter after Giovanni Antonio Lilli, has been copied by Jacques Honervogt. Folded view of Capitoline facing p. 113 signed by Ant. Alamanus as draughtsman. Etched and engraved views of Roman buildings mostly full page. In-text ill. are mostly woodcuts of coins & medals. Woodcut head- and tail-pieces, initials.

L6r (p. [539]) is blank. Text continues on L6v (p. 540), but L7r does not pick up the catch-word on L6v. Instead it repeats the text of L5r (p. 537) through the penultimate paragraph, here followed by FINIS. It may have been intended to cancel L6 & L7, ending the main text with p. 537 and eliminating the additional material on Innocent X's buildings projects, as was done in Getty copy of 1725 issue of 3rd ed.

Ill. on P2r and P3r repeated on Y4r and Y5r.

Signatures: +⁶ A-2L⁸ a⁸. Leaf 2A6 blank.
