Title from a1 recto. Title on d5 recto: "Incipit tractatus super Methodium qui in se co[n]tinebit quinq[ue] cap[itu]la quo[rum] primu[m] est de possessione terre sancte."

Place, name of printer and name of editor derived from colophon (i6 recto): Finit Basilee per Michaelem Furter opera et vigilantia Sebastiani Brant anno. M.ccccc.xvi. Martij.

Date from British Museum catalog: "A close reprint, mostly page for page, and with the same woodcuts, of the 1498 issue (IA. 37805). The cuts recur in the 1515 issue, but the wording of the title is different, and this, together with the fact that type 156b went out of use about 1504, shows that the date of the present book is 1500, and not 1 March, 1516, as has been supposed."

Signatures: a-ǵı h-íœ.

Chancery quarto; a7 recto: 36 lines with marginalia 150 x 90 (100) mm; types: 156(b) (title), 106 (headings, etc.), 83 (text), 64 (marginalia); printed initials, woodcut illustrations (some repeated)
