Inside the back cover is a triangular stamp reading in part, "ZUR AUSFUR FREIGEGEBEN." Pencil annotations inside the front cover are a title index of the emblem plates and the calculus of the chronosticon. Extremely rare complete. Old repairs noted, this is a good, bright, tight copy. Not in Praz or Landwehr. See Gerhard Dünnhaupt F5.I. Bertsche 52a, 1; Goedeke III, 240, 26.
