Engraved throughout. "Martin[u]s van buyten sculpsit hoc opus Romae 1588" -- Legend at food of title.

Curione's Del modo di scrivere le cancellaresche corsive (1590) is described as "libro primo," and his Il cancelliere (1582, 1605, 1619) is described as "libro quarto"; see Bonacini.

Engraved, illustrated title page; an earlier issue has arms of Cardinal Scipione Gonzaga at head, and six leaves of letterpress preliminaries; this issue is without the preliminaries, the plate has been scraped, removing the Gonzaga arms, and a hammer reengraved within the cartouche; this issue may possibly be dated after Gonzaga's death in 1593.

Caption title on leaf [2] reads: Della notomia delle cancellaresche corsiue.
