Two of these
borrowed cuts are found in the present edition, facing the Old and the
New Testament. The first represents the Expulsion from the Garden, but
the verse printed underneath (Gen. ii. 7) calls for the Creation of
Adam, which in Yolande's editions of 1526 and 1534 is actually present,
while here another engraving has been substituted, but the verse left
standing. Facing the New Testament, under the heading _Jesu Christi
secundum carnem genealogia_, is a genealogical tree springing from "the
root of Jesse."
Following the usual alphabetical order of the signatures (A-Z, aaa-eee),
the _Index rerum et sententiarum_ (sign. U-Z) is here placed before the
_Interpretationes_ (sign. aaa-eee). This is contrary to the direction of
the _Collectio codicum_ found on the last leaf of the _Index_ (Z6),
where the order prescribed is A-T, aaa-eee, U-Z, which is further
supported by the colophon and printer's device on Z6. The _Index_ as the
latest supplement was meant to stand at the end of the volume.
Bound in oak boards covered with stamped leather, brass corners and
bosses, gilt gauffred edges.
