Notes: The Houghton Library copy consists of two proof half-sheets only, measuring 30 x 22 cm., printed on one side: 1) chapter ccxxxvj, "Linum" (chapter heading + 28 lines of text preceded by three-line initial space, + direction line with signature "Biij=", without woodcut illustration); 2) chapter ccxlvj, "Licium" (chapter heading + 31 lines of text preceded by three-line initial space and with large woodcut inset at lower right, unsigned). The text is a variant setting of that in Schönsperger's ed. of 22 August 1485 (Goff G-98). These leaves presumably are for a close reprint ed. begun by Schönsperger but then abandoned in favor of his ed. of 5 June 1486 (Goff G-100) containing fewer leaves, more compactly set text, and smaller ill.
