"Compared with the NYPL (Astor) copy on paper, and with the BM Cat. of XV Cent. Books, Part I (1908), p. 24, for description of two copies on vellum and two on paper, and found to differ only in one respect, namely, that this copy does not have the four lines of title heading printed in red at the top of the first page as in other copies, but has instead a manuscript title heading of two lines in red. Note also that the chapter heading in red on the verso of leaf 14 is printed upside down, while in the NYPL copy it is right side up. Of the 43 copies described by Seymour de Ricci in his Catalogue raisonné des premières impressions de Mayence ... this copy is no. 40 of the list ... "--Typewritten report by Wilberforce Eames, laid in.
Princeton copy 1 is printed on parchment.
