Ornate ownership stamp of Hercules Silva, a landscape-architect and an active collector of incunabula, on last page. Watermarks on flyleafs depict the head of a religious figure (perhaps a bishop or pope) with a short, pointed hat topped by a cross; this head rests atop an embellished oval shape with an "A" inside adorned with crosses to the left and right of the letter; and with a cross extending from the the left side of the oval and a crook to the right. Watermarks are consistent with Italian watermarks.
