Paris, Pierre Leber, 29 May 1529. In-folio, fawn calf, double framed with cold-stamped fillets and roulettes, spine decorated with cold fillets, smooth edges (Binding of the period). Extremely rare edition, of which only one copy is known in public repositories, preserved in Poitiers (Peach, n°1257).

Copy incomplete of the first 5 leaves (ã1-5), including the title, and of the last 2 (A3-4); boards and spine of the original binding reapplied to a modern binding with slight lacks; marginal wetness; annotations and pen tests in the margin of 2 pp.
