BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
Illustrations: Woodcut on a1v (198x132): a vassal kneeling in front of the Emperor, who's sitting on his throne among the prince-electors: three bishops at his right and three princes at his left; four knights at the bottom of the stairs, one of them bearing a flag.
Some editions come with two additional laeves, as a binding, decorative framework, with a long title on the first leaf and a empty coat of arms on the final one.
