Notes: Dedication, life of Cassius Dio, and each book are headed by a woodcut ill. within a repeated scroll-work border with masks and fruit. Some of the human figures represented are identified by labels in woodcut or in letterpress. A number of the ill. are repeated, the figures being supplied with different labels as necessary (e.g. those on b5r and k6v, e7r and y8v, p1r and Dd1r, s3r and x6v, Ee4r and FF7r). The ill. preceding the life of Cassius Dio is apparently a metal-cut. The publishers' device appears on the t.p. and in a larger version on the last p. Initials.

Includes errata, last leaf.

Binding: old goatskin over pasteboard. Partly rebacked, repairs to corners. Both boards decorated with fillets and 2 rolls to form a lozenge within a rectangular frame. One of the rolls includes a monogram consisting of N, P, and R.
