The Latin version was published by Plantin and Philip Galle at Antwerp, 1575; see Voet. Translated into Dutch by Dirk Volkertszoon Coornhert, whose name appears anagrammatically in the poem "Aan den lezer, op des dichters naam" on t.p. verso Getty copy is closest to Voet's Variant III, with the Latin title of the 1575 ed. "De rervum vsv et abvsv" on the 1st leaf, but without an imprint. The Latin title appears on the recto of the 1st leaf, however, rather than on the verso facing the main title on the 2nd leaf, as Voet specifies Plantin's device on t.p. (compasses). The 25 engraved ill. are by Jan Wierix, whose initials appear on the 2nd. The ill. are printed on the 1st and 4th pages of bifolia, facing Coornhert's Dutch text, with the second and third pages left blank. The Latin motto, Bible citation, and quatrain that accompany the ill. are retained from the ed. of 1575 Errata, p. [28] Voet, L. Plantin press Binding: modern decorated paper.
