[4], 164, [2] leaves. Approx. 30 cm. good condition. Stains. Dampstains. The title page has a restored open tear [not affecting text]. Paper gluing for reinforcement of inner margins of several leaves. New, splendid leather binding.
That same year, another edition was printed which included Latin additions.
