This edition presents the complete root work from PDF page 2 through the completion colophon and dated scribal notice on PDF page 40. Thirty-nine page-controlled units preserve five authorial sections and their independently restarted verse numbering. The title leaf and final advertisement are excluded. Every unit was collated twice against the page image; archive and Tesseract OCR served only as locators, and the English is new.

The witness supplies no explicit reuse license, so this release contains the complete image-collated root text and fresh English but not the facsimile. PDF page 1 is the title leaf and PDF page 41 an advertisement; the complete root work runs from PDF page 2 through its colophon and scribal notice on page 40.
