It is edited by Francois Feuardent (or Feu-ardent) and has a final Schola by Jacques de Billy (1535-1581). There is a life of Saint Irenaeus and a dedication to Cardinal Carlo Borbonio at the beginning of the volume (Graesse III/429). The Swiss titlepage has two corners restored where marginal paper has been torn away but no print is affected and the gutter has some restoration, either partial rehinging or repair, there is also a stamp 1840 with an inked 7 following the ?date?. Two pages in this title are misnumbered and F6 is torn with small marginal loss (1cm) not touching text or side notes. This work was edited by Nicolas Des Gallars, who was active c.1520-ca.1580. It has parallel Greek/Latin text in double columns to Part 1 which is Epiphanius, Bishop of Constantia in Cyprus's "Panarion". An old leaf of manuscript notes is bound in at p357. Both books have nice decorative initials and head- and tail-pieces, side notes. Text in Latin (except for a part in Greek with parallel translation, see above). All pages, except two as noted, are in nice condition with very light occasional foxing/tanning.
