CATALOGUE. 139

There are two noticeable varieties of this edition, the one with an Admonitio printed on m12, the back of the last page of the table, the other with that page blank. In general the former variety has the error in paging before mentioned, while the latter has the paging correct. There are also, however, copies which want the Admonitio but have the error in paging, for instance, one of the copies in the Bodleian and the copy in University College, London. A translation of the Admonitio referred to above is given in the Notes, page 87.

A specimen page of the table is given opposite, and a full description of its arrangement will be found in section 59 of the Constructio.
