Two brief works by Chifflet are appended: Annulus pontificius Pio papae II -- Vetus imago Sanctissimae Deiparae in iaspide viridi, operis anaglyphi, inscripta Nicephoro Botaniatae, Graecorum imperatori : nunc primum edita, atque historica declaratione illustrata.

T.p. woodcut of a female mask between 2 cornucopias may be device of printer Peter Jumelers, Antwerp; see RLIN.

Two plates are signed "Corn. Galle." If they are contemporaneous with the present publication, the signature must be that of Cornelis Galle III, as his father and grandfather of the same name had died before it appeared. However, one of the plates bears legend "Pag. 353," suggesting that it had been published previously elsewhere.
