<dl><dd>On t.p. is engraved crowned eagle facing the sun, which Zappella considers to be Accolto's device (fig. 131), but which Mortimer considers to be the arms of Aquila. It includes Cirillo's arms in a small cartouche at base. The woodcut on KK6v depicting an uncrowned eagle and eaglet facing the sun is clearly Accolto's device (Zappella fig. 145). Engraved port. of author on t.p. verso at the age of 40. Mortimer notes that this was his age upon completing the text, dated 20 May 1540 on 2K6r, rather than the date of its publication.
