Catalogue Note
The next to last of seventeen editions by Creussner of Andreae's tractate on degrees of consanguinity and affinity. Most of these added, as here, a separate tractate on spiritual relationships, as created by godparents and their families. The three diagrammatic woodcuts are so much larger than the type-pages that many if not most copies are trimmed to some degree.
