EDIT CNCE 36560 printed by Zanetti has 24ff. (as this), but is printed in black only. An issue printed by Bindoni of 26ff. is printed in red and black (EDIT CNCE 36559). Digital records do not mention the month of February in either instance. If this is a Bindoni printing then it may lack G1&2 (text complete, so ?an index (the Zanetti issue would seem to have a 1p. index) or colophon and a blank). Both issues are rare, with some institutional copies defective. Literature: cf. Cantamessa Biblioastrology online, n. 2685Bis.
