Description
Frontespizi in inchiostro rosso e nero. Esemplare con le usuali bruniture e  con alcune piccole pecette ai bordi esterni di poche carte d’indice, ma bella copia. Legatura coeva in piena pergamena con titoli manoscritti al dorso e risvolti. Minimi difetti. Timbro Biblioteca Haffnerianae al frontespizio.  Ferguson I, 461-462 censisce altre edizioni e non questa ma afferma che «a second part of the Medulla was published in 1614, after his Death [...].  His book was successful, as it seems to have passed through anumber of editions. The enumeration of these is not very satisfactory as some are undated, and it is not easy to make the edition tally».
