Translated from title page: "And divided into three parts: The first one deals with everything belonging to the rules of the art, with all its variety, exceptions, and anomalies; in which nothing can be defended, that is not found. In the second, training is taught of some words, of others And so with only one voice, that is known; you can easily derive many others: In the third the most necessary adverbs of the language are put. With all that any little work, and in a short time He will be able to speak the Language with ease, property, and expedition. And he himself no less assertive than rendered, and reverently dedicates it, and consecrates the Gloriosissimo Patriarcha San Ignacio de Loyola, author, and founder of the Company of Jesus. VG (significant worming at title page through page 4 and beginning again on page 55 inner edge with some text loss. Otherwise a very good copy with significant portion of original ties present. Nice copy except for worm damage) .
