(without the 2 last bl. pp.; occ. foxing). - Counterfeit of the first edition, with a woodcut ornament in place of the printer's device on title, a different collation (i.a. without the explanation of terms, errata and privilege) and with the 11 fold. pl. by Sébastien Le Clerc, with the figures in the plates inverted cp. to the 1st edition.
