The second part of this v. has title: Dilucidae simplicium medicamenorum [sic] explicationes, & Stirpium aduersaria, perfacilis vestigatio ... / authoribus Petro Pena [et] Matthia de l'Obel ..., which contains in [16], 455, [1] the remainder of the 1st ed., published in 1570, by T. Purfoot, under title: Stirpium aduersaria noua ... The letter to the professors at Montpelier lacks "1570" of the earlier issue, and the dedication to Queen Elizabeth is omitted. Like the 1570 ed., additional woodcuts of plants, printed partly with text on slips are found on p. 11, 33, 150, and the illustrations on p. 252 and 400 are mounted on the spaces left vacant for them. The colophon on p. 457 is dated 1605, idibus Aprilis.
"Matthiae de l'Obel ... Aduersariorum altera pars, cum prioris illustrationibus, castigationibus, auctariis, & rariorum aliquot stirpium ...": p. [458]-515.
