Another longshot: editions of Capo Ferro's Gran Simulacro
Sorry for the thread a week rate but I'm a bit stuck on this. I recently came upon 36 plates from Capo Ferro's Gran Simulacro. Hardly any provinonce was provided with it. Only non-original writing on it is on the front cover of the falling apart binding with some unintelligible writing. I was only able to make out the name of the engraver and "1630".
I am looking for information on the various editions of this text that are known. Wiktenauer has the only real information I've been able to source regarding the editions short of buying the books mentioned on the wiktenauer page. Based on the wiktenauer, there was a 1629 edition that removed all pages that did not include the engraved plates and moved portions of the text below those engraved plates. It is my guess that this is what I have. Does anyone have any further information? I've attached several of the pages I have as well as the watermark found on them (though I doubt this carries any great meaning).
