Collijn II:363-366. Edition 9, first edition printed in Basel in Latin, reprint (literally) of the first Rome edition of 1555, but with some amendments. According to Collijn, the latin edition of Petri has supposedly been printed without the woodcut map, but the map has later been inserted in some copies.
The map with the monogram initials THW at the lower right corner = Thomas Weber, the woodcutter. Ginsburg 23.

The coat-of-arms comes from Möller, a noble family from Hamburg, naturalised in 1646.
