Statement of responsibility on title page follows edition statement.

Text divided into four parts called Liber I. [-IV.], each (except for the first part which serves as the main title page) with a separate titlepage; all 4 books also have caption titles. Signatures and paging are continuous.

The title page statements concerning designation of the books and its contents are: pt. 1 (main title page): Libri duo priores De diluvio & paradiso; pt. 2: Liber secundus De tellure primigeniâ & de paradiso; pt. 3: Libri duo posteriores De conflagratione mundi, et De futuro rerum statu; pt. 4: Liber ultimus De novis coelis & nova terra, ac de beato seculo; sive de mundo renovato, et rerum omnium consummatione. All titles surrounded by a double frame.

Signatures: pi⁴ a⁴ B-2Y⁴ 2Z² (pi1 recto, pi2 verso, N4 verso, O1 verso, Z1, verso, Z2 recto, Z3 verso, 2N1 verso, 2N2 verso blank). Leaf 2C1 signed as: "C"; leaf 2N3 signed as: "Nn2"

Errors in paging; pages [170-184] without page numbers, but included in the page count.

Two plates, both folded maps, numbered: Fig: 1 [-2.], in book 1. Facing the title pages of parts 1 and 3 are identical frontispieces; however, they form part of the regular gatherings and therefore are to be considered text illustrations, as are the rest of the illustrations (all engravings, some covering a full page)

Includes map of America and reference in text.
