small folio. illustrated stapled paper wrappers. (xiv), 36 (6) pages. Limited to 200 numbered copies and contains two original leaves (4 pages) printed in 1591 by David Sartorius in Ingolstadt of his Disputationes. This copy is a mock-up (softcover) copy which contains two leaves, but is not numbered. Minor soiling to covers, a couple pencil notations throughout.
