Vol. 1 is unnumbered and ends at p. 490 (leaf 2H5). Vol. 2 has a t.p. on unnumbered leaf chil (perhaps designed to be removed by anyone desiring to bind the set as one volume). It reads: Des controuerses magiques tome second : auquel est traité du malefice ou sorcelerie, vaine obseruation, diuination & coniectation. The imprint reads as on the t.p. of the 1st volume, but appears to have been added by a process other than letterpress.
