Extensively annotated by two previous owners: Nicolas de Nancel, in preparation for a new edition (never published); and Michel de la Vigne, physician to Louis XIII, whose ownership inscription, dated 1615, appears on t.p. De la Vigne's copious annotations in the work expand and comment on those of Nancel.
