The emblematic ill. are numbered I-XXVI, corresponding to Lieure's 2nd state. They are etched, with some engraving, soft-ground etching, and perhaps drypoint. Lieure suggests that only the first 4 prints are by Callot, the remaining 23 being perhaps by Abraham Bosse. Above each emblematic ill. is a motto given in Latin and French, and below are two lines of Latin verse followed by four lines of French verse.
In Getty copy, leaves [4-6] are signed in reverse order ã3, ã2 and ã, leaf [3] being unsigned.
First leaf blank, conjugate with title leaf that follows. Leaves [3-6] comprise the added etched title, an ode to the Virgin in French, and two prose encomiums in French and Latin, both signed with the initials F.R.
The 2nd ed., the 1st having appeared without indication of publisher or date, probably in Lorraine; see Lieure.
