  • Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy bound in early tacketed vellum with cover extensions and a red leather label at the head of its spine. All text block edges are stained red. The upper and lower covers contain a gilt super ex-libris showing the arms of both the Palatinate Zweibrücken and the house of Sulzbach, which together formed the royal arms used by Karl Theodor, Elector of Bavaria, and his wife, Marie Elisabeth Auguste von Sulzbach.
  • Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy contains three separate inscriptions, in early iron gall ink. The first, appearing at the head of the front flyleaf recto, is signed "Jacobus Marig Beckh, Ulmensis" [of Ulm]. Beckh recorded the cost of each part of this work, plus binding, and dated the inscription 1638. He also left several annotations within the text, the most prominent of which is signed with his initials and appears on page 51 of tractatus I. A second, but illegible signature appears in the lower right corner of the front flyleaf recto. The verso of the front flyleaf contains a third mark of ownership: an ex-libris inscription of Mies Cagnon, "architectus et ingenarus" [architect and engineer], dated 1674.
