BRV II, p. 624
Volume in 4° format, consisting of 12 unnumbered pages and 157 numbered pages. Printed in the same way as the 1699 edition, with the same verses, coat of arms, and the same foreword, signed by Gherontie and Grigore, as well as the same introduction. The differences from the 1800 edition consist only in the number of pages and the fact that this edition has the text framed in a typographical composition frame. The text is, broadly speaking, identical; in the foreword a small terminological change appears, where the term "typography" replaces "printing", and in the subtitles the form "Moldovei" appears instead of "Moldovii".
For clarifications regarding the bidding procedure, hammer price costs, guarantee, payment, and collection terms for the winning lot, we recommend carefully reading/re-reading the Bidding Regulations.
