He affirms he has had at his disposal a very faulty exemplar of the text, which he has "brought back to its original splendour and illustrated with diagrams much more intelligible than before, ...The early set of diagrams was transmitted rather faithfully, because... it incorporated the core of knowledge on planetary movements and was indispensible in learning to use the tables. But is was regularly augmented by new figures ... only by scrutinizing its figures can one fully understand that the book was a crossroad at which all the trends of Renaissance astronomy passed and met.':
