Thirty-three woodcuts, mostly depicting ancestors of the Hapsburgs, starting with Noah. Three of them measure ca. 9.5 x 5 or 7 cm. The rest are smaller (ca. 5 x 4.5 cm.), and differ from the larger in style. Hans Weiditz, who provided ill. for other eds. of Johann Setzer, has been suggested as their author. There are also 2 cuts of coats of arms (t.p. and last leaf), and 4 historiated woodcut initials. Copies in BN and Cambridge University Library have 5 folded genealogical tables, not present in Library's copy. Hans Weiditz has been suggested as author of some of the ill.

Signatures: A-CC⁴.
