Collation : A-O 4 (without the 2 final additional unsigned leaves often lacking, containing the errata and a volvelle part). Full-page woodcut arms of Charles V, woodcut title border of the signs of the zodiac, woodcut allegorical portrait of Mauro on verso of title (lower right corner of title torn away affecting border), Orthega's woodcut arms at end, approximately 90 woodcut illustrations and diagrams in the text.
