Le bellissime illustrazioni raffigurano personaggi della Riforma Protestante e alcuni altri come Erasmo da Rotterdam e Savonarola. La silloge è rarissima a trovarsi ed è ben completa nel nostro esemplare, non compare nei risultati d'asta degli ultimi 40 anni, Worldcat lo dà presente in sole 4 biblioteche. Esemplare magnifico per la freschezza delle incisioni e soprattutto per i grandissimi margini (da 2 a 4 cm laterali; fino a 7 alla parte inferiore). Lieve gora a poche carte così come lieve ossidazione, anch'essa a poche carte. Rarissimo.
