| Edition information | |
| Illustrations | Engravings: 8 engravings (4 hors-textes: Colosseum at Rome, nos. 1 and 2 ; Verona; Doué no. 2; 4 in text: detail of Colosseum, on page 45; Pola on page 94; Nîmes on page 96; Doué no. 1 on page 105). The same illustrations as in the 1584-edition, with one exception: Doué no. 2 has been replaced by another view of the same amphitheatre: 109 × 230; inscription, above left: LES • ARENES • A • DOVE • EN • POICTOV. ‖ LAEVINVS. F. AN. 1584 (this Laevinus is probably the designer and not the engraver; he may be identified with Joannes Livineus, the nephew of Livinus Torrentius). The typographical text on Rome no. 2 (Colosseum, interior) has been slightly altered: in the inscription above, 'page 61' has been changed into 'cap. XIII.'; the text underneath has now Ex officina Christophori Plantini |
