The mysteries of the Rosary explained in text and pictures. The work first 
appeared in 1521 and was reprinted quickly. I have located records for 9 
editions by the year 1556. All of them quite rare today. No copy of this 1536 edition 
is found in OCLC or the NUC. See Essling #2123-2125. Sander #6572 & 6573.
