This work fairly calls De Martino and Fragasso, both in subtitle and author listing, the authors by virtue of being "compilers" (from other sources) of the information. Here, as often, however, the cover (Erbario Figurato) doesn't match the title page. (Following bibliographical convention, we use the title page not the cover for the title of the work.) It is heavily illustrated with the herbs themselves.

The work is divided into 4 parts, the last of which, listing as author Nellina Valgolio, Il libro della bellezza femminile.

Advertisements include other commodoties than books sold by the IBC, such as various teas.

Unusually heavily indexed.
