Folio. Part 1. 48 unnumbered preliminary leaves containing title,
preface of Sigonius, _Veterum scriptorum de T. Liuio testimonia ab
Aldo Manutio Paulli F. Aldi N. collecta, Libri primi epitome, Rerum
et vocum apud T. Liuium index copiosissimus_; 399 numbered leaves
of text (blank last leaf wanting). Part 2. _Caroli Sigonii
Scholia_, with separate title and device, 109 numbered leaves and
blank end leaf. Part 3. _Caroli Sigonii Livianorum Scholiorum
aliquot Defensiones adversus Glareanum et Robortellum_, with
separate title and device, 52 numbered pages. Roman character,
except _epitomae_ i-xlv and _index_ which are in the italic type of
the Ptolemy commentary, and the preface which is a large and
unusual italic, first found in a notice prefixed to the _Medici
antiqui_ of 1547, once as a text type in 1550, afterwards only in
an occasional preface or title-page. Like the smaller italic of
Paulus it is provided with capitals. The large woodcut initials of
the several books belong to the mythological series found in the
Ptolemy but are here much worn. Renouard, p. 215.

Editions of Livy with the Scholia of Sigonius were issued from the
Aldine press in 1555, 1566, 1572 and 1592. This third edition is
distinguished from those which preceded it by some additions to the
Scholia and an appendix in which the editor defends his views on the
chronology of Livy against the attacks of two opponents. But
