<dd>T.p. printed in red and black. Above the t.p. vignette (Fame et al.) are Solis's interlaced initials "VS"</dd>
<dd>The 147 woodcut ill. are printed one to a page, with Latin text above and German translation below. Most of the texts are four lines of verse, the remainder in prose. Most of the ill. are signed with Solis's interlaced initials. The initials FO appear at the lower left on E2v, apparently those of the block cutter. The interlaced letters CS (perhaps for Conrad Saldörffer?) appear in a number of cuts (K1r, K2r, L1r, L2r, L3r-v, M1r, N1r). Other cuts contain a small image of a knife, often with a number and a + sign (N4r, P3v, P4v, Q1v, Q4r, Q4v, R1r, R2v, R3r). The letters S.F. appear on a tablet in O2r</dd>
