3 parts in 1 vol. ([12] ff. - 227 p.; [4] ff. - 358 col., 235 p.) ; in-fol. Translation by Peter the Venerable, Robert of Ketton, and Hermann of Dalmatia, revised by Bibliander. Same material as the Basel edition, 1543. The S.T.C. of the British Library lists the address as Zurich, C. Froschauer? The Praemonitio, sometimes attributed to Luther and sometimes to Melanchthon, is actually by the latter according to Göllner, Turcica, I, 792. The text by John VI Cantacuzene, Contra mahometicam fidem... assertio, published separately in 1543, is found here at the end of the 2nd part without the Greek text. Also contains: "Turcicarum rerum commentarius..." by Paolo Giovio.
