Venice: Apud Aldum, 1588.

Octavo, woodcut printer's device to title illustrated with text woodcuts (some full page) and two folding woodcut maps; a re-issue of the 1575 edition, with tables by Raimond Marliani at the end; ink stains to title; bound in limp parchment, worn, stained and repaired; likely used as a school book, evidence that someone used the back page for dart practice, or perhaps lost their patience with their studies, with approximately seven stab holes in the verso of the last leaf, extending through the last half inch or so of text leaves; later endleaves; 6 1/4 x 3 in.
