The woodcuts are the same as those used in Bergmann's 2d Latin edition (1 August 1497); these woodcuts were formerly attributed to Dürer, but it is now believed that they are the work of an anonymous artist who was perhaps influenced by Dürer; cf. Albert Schramm, Der Bilderschmuck der Frühdrucke, Bd.XXII, p. 29ff.

Blank leaf y4 not present; top edges closely trimmed, affecting a few headlines.
