This facsimile was produced "by taking a tracing on transfer paper, placing this on lithographic stones, and then printing it in the usual way ... I believe that not a single incorrect letter will be found therein. A few copies are printed on vellum, and some on old paper" (Introduction). The verse dialogue and prose treatise are now generally attributed to William Barlow or occasionally to W. Roy. Although the colophon gives Hans Luft in Marburg as the printer, the 1530 edition was printed by Hoochstraten in Antwerp (STC 1462.5). MINT CONDITION.
