Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy halfbound in modern vellum and marbled papers. All blank initial spaces rubricated in red and blue with guide letters inscribed in each margin. The first initial ([1́]v) is illuminated, with floral border decoration in blue. Leaves [5́] and [6́] appear to be tipped-in or hinged to a bifoliate stub. Early annotations in Greek and Latin. Single-sheet (two-page) bibliographical inscription, in Italian, tipped-in at front. Present on [1́r] are two inscriptions. One reads, "Christiani Proliani opus Astronomicum." The other, in a different hand, appears to be a dedication to one Antonius Petrus, of Lucca, dated January, 1545. Two leaves of early endpapers bound-in at rear. These leaves contain three early, half-page inscriptions (one Greek, two Latin). On the verso of the second of these leaves is an additional early Latin inscription.
