This copy has the same no. of preliminary leaves as in Sabin (1677 ed.) and Baer 87, but does not agree with Echeverria & Wilkie 677/2. This copy also lacks the errata noted in that entry. Baer mentions an errata statement in the 1676 (i.e. 1677) ed. (Baer 81), but not in the 1677 ed. (Baer 87). The gathering signed ẽ is not noted by Baer.
