Vol. 1 has general engraved illustrated t.p. for both volumes, dated 1617; v. 2 has general engraved illustrated t.p. for that volume. The second treatise in each volume has special illustrated t.p. dated: v. 1, tr. 2, 1618; v. 2, tr. 2, with imprint: Francofurti : Typis Erasmi Kempfferi, sumptibus Joan. Theodori de Bry, 1621.

Two editions of v. 1, tr. 1 are known, both with the same engraved general t.p.: the catchword on p. 7 reads 'mobile'/'stellis'. The second edition was probably a Frankfurt a.M. reprint.

Includes indexes.

The second volume ends with the first section of the second treatise. It was to have contained three treatises, but was never completed.
