Only 134 copies are known to exist in libraries worldwide. Vincent of Beauvais was a French scholar. The work was heavily restored in the 20th century, thus the pages were trimmed both at the top and at the margin, parts of the pages were added, missing headings were filled in, there is also a completely reprinted page in the book, but the new binding is heavily stained. With signs of age and wear, abrasion, discolouration, wavy pages, handwritten entries, creases.
