<dd>Illustrations: 1 full-page engraving (frontispiece) and numerous half-page engravings, by Andreas Trost after Johann Koch, many signed. The engravings in pt. 1, although unsigned, are presumably by Trost and are said to derive from Holbein's designs for the Dance of death, possibly by way of Arnaud Nicolai's woodcuts in the 1555 Cologne edition of the Dance of death (q. v.). All the half-page engravings are within borders depicting plants, insects, birds, beasts, etc</dd>
