Edited and annotated (sig. X) by Lactantius Cortesius.

A one-leaf dedication to Pope Leo X. (elected 13 March 1513) by Raphael [Maffei] Volaterranus has been substituted for his original (2 leaf) dedication to Pope Julius II (d. 21 February 1513) which, together with variation of text placement indicates a new issue as of 1513.
