Folio (335 x 217mm). Woodcut printer's device on title, arms of the city of Genoa printed in red and back on verso, woodcut headpieces and initials (occasional light browning, few tiny wormholes to the final leaves, erased early ownership note on title). Contemporary limp vellum, later manuscript title on spine (without ties, light staining). Provenance: BAZW (bookplate) - Bibliothek Zurich e Archivium V. Prov. Helvetica (cancelled stamps).
