- other: editors' matter set: the whole column is the index (Syllabus rerum), from ‹Art. II. — Analysis libri secundi› to ‹Cap. XXV. — De aureo saeculo›; column/page numbers and Ibid. set as printed. The number after "Notae Isaei in lib. VI." is printed 904 (the 0 matches the 0 of 990 above it); the sequence 990/999 calls for a number between them, so it is a misprint, kept as printed (corrected Q2: the file had set 994 by sequence). "tertii" in Art. III. looks like "tertui" through blurred type; "nomine" and "divisione" in Art. Primus have blurred n/u. The index passes from Cap. XIV. to Cap. XX. as printed. Full-width line "FINIS TOMI SEXTI" below both columns, cut off at the right edge, is not set. The "Digitized by Google" watermark is not set.
