Notes:
Title from incipit on leaf a2r.
BEIN ZZi 6895: A note of the printer's on verso of signature m6 certifies that in spite of the break in the series of the signature-letters no leaves are wanting. A manuscript note below the colophon, half obliterated, seems to be a statement of this copy having been given to the "Monasteriam Sanctae Mariae Connatae Sancti ordinis fratrum heremitarum(?)."
BEIN ZZi: F. 6a, col. 1, line 8 has been corrected in manuscript; the last word apparently read originally premis / imus, not premisi / mus or p[re]misi / mus as the Gesamt-katalog states. On the same leaf col. l, line 10, the last six letters of vegetabil are in manuscript. Index (4 unsigned ff.) misbound at end of book; it is possible that these ff. have been supplied from another copy of this edition. Stains on the lower margins of the index. Binding of brown calf, with shelf-back of red morocco.
BEIN ZZi: Large initial at the beginning of book 1 in gold and colors; capital spaces blank, a few with guide-letters.
Imprint from colophon; full colophon reads: Finit feliciter opus Alberti Magni philophi de animalibus: [et] impressum Mantue per Paulum Ioha[n]nis de Bursehbach alamanum Maguntine[sis] dioce[sis] sub anno d[omi]ni millesimo quadringentessimo septuagesimonono: die uero duodecima Ianuarij: regnante ibide[m] felicissime illustrissimo domino d[omi]no Friderico d[e] Gonzaga Marchione tercio.
