Printer's device on the verso of the final leaf: Florentine lily supported by two cherubs and flanked by two cornucopias, resting on a base bearing the initials F.G. in a frame. Filippo Giunta died in September, 1517; the imprint was probably well advanced by this time, and so bears his name and device; see Renouard.
