Editio nova, tam re, quam figuris a praecedenti in plurimis mutata. Zui accedit Epistola apologetica, in clarissimum virum D.D. Fredricum Ruyschium (...). Leyden, J.A. Langerak, 1716, (20),103 p., w. 7 (large) fold. engr. plates, contemp. speckled hcalf, ribbed and gilt spine w. mor. letterpiece.
Without the errata-pages at the end, as usual.
