Title and each page of text within border of type-ornaments. Vellum, repaired. Illustrated. This work was printed by a variety of printers using the same woodcuts and ornaments. Although a good number of editions were printed in the sixteenth century, most did not survive their use in schools. The Czech National Library identifies a copy at the "Library of the ASCR - Praha, " with the same date and pagination, but without a printer's name. The Italian National Union Catalogue does not locate a copy, but it is conceivable that the 'Biblioteca Comunale Lorenzo Leonj, in Todi may have a copy. Good.
