The title is printed from a woodblock, with a woodcut of the Virgin nursing the Child; this is followed by 19 leaves of woodcuts; Chelidonius's verses are found in letterpress at the foot of the recto and on the verso of the t.p. and on the verso of all other leaves but the last.

This work, along with Dürer's "Passio Domini Nostri Jesu" and his "Apocalipsis cum figuris," which he describes in his Netherlands journal as "die grossen Bücher," were originally issued together in 1511, and some copies survive thus; but they are more usually found separately.
