Andreae's 2nd ed. of 1527 as described in VD 16, rather than the 1st with 16 leaves, or the 3rd with 17 leaves · Place and date from colophon; printer from VD 16 · Dedication on t.p. verso by Albert Dürer to Ferdinand, King of Bohemia and Hungary, later Holy Roman Emperor · Illustrations: t.p. largely occupied by woodcut of Ferdinand's arms. Twenty woodcut plans and diagrams (12 full page, mostly folded) · Includes errata, recto of last leaf · Signatures irregular, reflecting the complex combination of leaves with letterpress, with woodcut ill., or with both: A²(chi1+A1, A2+chi2) B²(chi1+B1, chi2+B2) C⁴(chi1+C1, chi2+C3) D⁴(chi1+D4) E²(chi1+D1, E2+chi2) F² chi1: 26 leaves [the 4 leaves of B signed B1-B4, first 4 of the 6 leaves in C signed C1-C4, first 3 of the 4 leaves in E signed E1-E3] · VD 16 · Getty copy disbound. An extraneous leaf is interpolated after F2, perhaps to mark the place of the double-leaf cut of a city under siege (printed from two blocks), which is wanting; see W. Kurth, Complete woodcuts of Albrecht Dürer, 344-345
