It contains books 1-5 [represented as 1-6 in early eds, as book 1 is in two parts], and 11-15 of the original 40. Books 6-10 are mostly lost, 16-20 only were published by Oporinus in 1539 (see Bib# 6636606/Fr# 8.1 in this collection), and 21-40 are again fragmentary at best). Date and imprint supplied from H. M. Adams, Catalogue of Books Printed on the Continent of Europe, 1501-1600, in Cambridge Libraries. 2 vols. Cambridge, 1967, D 472.
