The Spanish and Latin texts are in parallel columns. The texts were also apparently printed as separate Latin and Spanish editions, both dated 16 July 1493, from the same typesettings (Goff B923 and GW 4751); Sometimes attributed to Johannes de Caulibus (cf. BBFN Inc p.119f)

=500 \\$aText appears to be the same setting of type as Michael's edition of the text in Latin (ib00896400) dated 16 July 1493. Also very similar to Michael's Spanish edition of the same date (ib00923000), for which see F. Goff, 'An undescribed Spanish incunabulum', Gutenberg Jahrbuch 1964 p. 110-114.
=500 \\$aOates suggests the final gathering should have 12 leaves, with leaves m6-12 wanting from the CUL copy. Comparison to the Latin and Spanish editions of 16 July 1493 suggests only 4 columns of text are missing; with 2 columns per side, only 1 leaf of print is required, hence gathering m should be 6 leaves rather than 6 + 6 blanks (according to Oates's collation).
=500 \\$aTitle page with woodcut border in four panels, with scrolls of foliage, birds, a monkey and a lion. Bottom panel includes the arms of the Reyes Catolicos, with a yoke on the left (symbolising Isabella) and a sheaf of arrows on the right (symbolising Ferdinand). A row of i's used to fill gap between the bottom panel and the left hand panel. This border also used in the Spanish and Latin monolingual editions of the text.
