Arabesque title-border with grotesque heads, verso with woodcut medallion portrait of the author attributed to Bernard Salomon Diana head-piece, two large criblé initial, woodcut printer's device at end. (Some dampstaining at end, ink stain to blank margin of d2v, some ink underscoring to text). Modern vellum. FIRST EDITION.
