[6], CLXXVI [i.e. CLXXIII], [1] leaves (the last leaf blank) : 32 cm. (fol.)

Imprint from colophon

Text printed in single column with interlinear glosses. The commentary is printed in smaller type in a 2nd column placed toward the margin and sometimes extending across the whole page beneath the column of text

T.p. largely taken up by woodcut of a theatrical performance, incorporating the caption "THEATRVM" at foot and with the title proper placed above it. The woodcut is repeated on [a]6v. Each of the 6 plays is preceded by a full-page cut depicting the characters, some joined by lines that indicate connections of plot between them. Smaller cuts precede scenes. Nearly all of these are made up of separate blocks for characters, buildings, and trees, repeated as necessary (but cf. the single-block cut on i3v). The combinations of blocks differ slightly among extant copies

Spaces for capitals, some with guide letters. Large ornamented capital on [a]6r

"Therentii vita excerpta de dictis. D. F. Petrarcha": [a]6r

Signatures: [a]⁶ b-c⁸ d-z⁶ A-E⁶ F⁸

Errors in foliation: leaves CXXXI-CXXXIX omitted and CLII-CLVII repeated; VII, CXI, CXV misnumbered VIII, XI, XV
