Notes: Contains 906 decisions dating from 10 Dec. 1621 through 23 June 1642 (v. 1: I-DXXXIX, 1621-1632; v. 2: DXL-DCCCCVI, 1632-1642; N.B. decisions 897-906 are from earlier years; they were originally omitted in first ed. published in Venice in 1652, perhaps for unorthodox legal doctrine).
In both volumes, the place of publication, originally printed as "Geneuae," has been obliterated by overprinting with fleurons.
Repeated from 1st ed.: v. 1, prelim. p. [6], "Io. Baptista Zampa Foroliuiensis haec tria fecit: delineauit, sculpsit, scripsit"; the statement refers to engravings absent from this (unauthorized?) edition. Taken from the Venice, 1652 ed. are also dedications by Clemens's brother Marcellus.
Device on both title pages: crowned salamander in fire. Both full title pages are printed in red and black; half title in v. 1 in black only.
Vol. 1: [76], 614, [2] p. (the last leaf blank); v. 2: [4], 508, [204] p. Two column layout.
Includes indexes.
