Uncontrolled note
Farther directions for the book-binder (Book 2): First, there is a generall title-page in breif of the whole work, with the license on the back of it. Then there is a larger title-page to the first part of the first book. ... The second book about the other Eastern games, which begins with Historia Nerdiludii, is one single part, and has a distinct proper title-page..."
