| Edition information | |
| Illustrations | Woodcuts (dimensions not measured), crudely executed, mostly with cut-out parts in which typographically printed texts: 1) Most of them already used in the first edition (see preceding no.), reproduced on the same places and folios: in 2nd [introductory] part (= first introductory part in preceding no.), folios LIIIvo, LIVvo, LVro, LVvo, LVIro; in 3rd part (1st book), folio Ivo; in 4th part (2nd book), folio IIro; in 5th part (3rd book), folio IIro; in 6th part (4th book), folios IIro and LXVIIIro 2) Additional woodcut: in first introductory part, folio IIro: Twice the earth (represented as a ball). On top of the left ball, the Holy Lamb (bearing a standard with the inscription 'Victori', and surmounted by a banderole with the inscription 'De Wech / de Warheit / vn̄ dat Leuen.'), standing on a skeleton, the ball itself crushing a devil (with the inscription 'Sūde.'). On top of the right ball, a devil and a skeleton with between them the inscription 'Sunde.'; beneath the ball the Holy Lamb accompanied by an inscription 'De Wech / de Waerheit / vnde dat Leuen.'. Above in the illustration an angel with a banderole showing the inscription 'Nu is de Salicheit / de Krafft vn̄ idt ryck vnses Godes geworden / vn̄ de macht synes Christo. Apo. 12.'. The inscriptions are printed typographically within cut-out sloths in the wood-block. This illustration figures also in no. cp012950 3) In the margins are often reproduced woodcuts showing a pointing hand (to attract the attention to passages in the texts judged to be of great importance; various types) |
