Universae naturae theatrum. In quo rerum omnium effectrices causae, & fines contemplantur, & continuae series quinque libris discutuntiur. Lyon: Jacques Roussin, 1596. Imprint: Lugduni: apud Iacobum Roussin Typographum Regium, MDXCVI.
8vo (170 x 110 mm), pages 8, 633 [1, blank]; signature: ā4, AQq8, Rr4; pages 545-546 unnumbered; woodcut on title, woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces, woodcut diagrams; age-stained and browned; original dutch vellum binding; a fine unsophisticated copy.
First edition. A very rare issue with only 4 preliminary leaves [correctly signed ā4] instead of 8, a different device on title page and the author's first name spelled «Ioan.» instead of «Io.» as stated, for example in the BM copy (see http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k522241/f4.image).
