The introduction to Part 1 begins: Die Zueignung : Denen Edlen, Vesten und Hochbenahmten... Herren Eltesten ...

In the Harvard copy, the first part consists of 16 letterpress leaves and 14 engraved leaves; the second part, 14 engraved leaves; the third part, 26 engraved leaves and one woodcut leaf; and the Jugend-Leiter, one engraved leaf and 24 letterpress leaves. While all are variously numbered, this agrees in every particular with the Newberry Library copy. (Other known copies consist of different foliations.)

In the third part, the first unnumbered plate is printed on the verso of plate 25; the next two plates are printed on the recto and verso of the following leaf; and the last unnumbered plate and the woodcut are printed on rectos only.
