Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy is the second of two items bound together in a volume subsequent to publication. This volume contains [1]: Sermones sa[n]cti augustini ad heremitas / Pseudo-Augustinus -- [2]: Ars moriendi (Paris, 1497). In this copy, both the title page vignette, being Petit's device, and the illustration on the verso of the title page are hand-colored. Leaves f1 and f4 are wanting. Leaf f3 in this copy shows bleed-through or transfer of colors from another illustration embellished with a palette similar to those on leaf a1.
