when it was found that the whole work could not be issued in that year,
the date was altered to m. dc. x x., and a few copies may have been
printed before the alteration. The only copy which we have found is
in the Bibliothfeque Nationale. The volume contains the three parts ; the
Tabula has M42 blank ; the Constructio has on its title-page the usual
date of 1620, and has on H4I the Extraict the same as in the Advocates'
Library copy mentioned in the preceding entry.

This issue is evidently not a new edition, but the remainder of the
edition of 1620 with the following alterations. In the Descriptio signature
A has been reprinted with title-page as above, and several other
less important alterations. The Tabula is unaltered, still retaining
the name of Barth. Vincent on the title-page. The Constructio has
the first two leaves cut out so that the first page is numbered 5.
The Extraict is often wanting on M22 of the Tabula, but in the copies
examined is printed on H4I of the Constructio, exactly as in the
Advocates' Library copy of 1620, the name of the work in the Extraict
being that on the first title-page of the 1620 edition, and not that used
in the title-page given above.
