Smith Library copy has an imposition error on recto of leaf M4: the leaf was printed with the lower corner of the untrimmed sheet folded up; the corner is now pasted in the folded position so that the text is correctly aligned; the text of the verso is unaffected.

Smith Library copy has three early autographs of Augustinus Blesius, Med., and an ex-libris slip with the autograph of B.E.J. Pagel.
