This Zoppino printing had a newly redesigned title-leaf with an elaborate woodcut border of chivalric battle scenes between Augustus Caesar Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great. The 136 in-text woodcuts are an all too interesting miscellany of late-medieval life nature and architecture and are characteristic of Vitruvian ideals in regards to proportion ornament language space place and beauty.
