The letter A, occurring on some of the woodcuts, has occasioned different conjectures. cf. Green, H. Andrea Alciati and his books of emblems, London, 1872, p. 85-87; also, G. K. Nagler (Monogrammisten, Munich, 1858, v.1, p. 25, no. 53) who assumes that the letter might refer to the draughtsman of the cuts, and even mentions Alciati himself as the possible artist.

211 emblems, numbered I-CCXI, including the tree series (nos. CXCVIII-CCXI); no. LXII without woodcut device.

Signatures: A-Zı́, a-bı́.

Final p. is blank.

Device of the Plantin press on t.p. and on p. [7] (second group), with motto: Labore et constantia.
