Unconfirmed copies:
• E-Bc - listed in Fenlon2006, not in the online catalogue (accessed 12/01/2020. Probably an error, i.e. E-Bbc
• M-M (Mexico, Morelia) -- BrownI lists a copy in a private library in Morelia. Bernal1952 confirms the existence of the copy at that time, but it has not been sighted since. The title page reproduced in the article confirms it to be from the “print run B” (communication from Juan Ruiz Jiménez, Aug 2022) Javier Marín suggests that the descendents of Bernal may have it, or the Conservatorio de las Rosas.
• RCH-Sbnc -- (according to Fenlon & Knighton 2006) cannot be verified from online catalogue online catalogue (checked 22/4/2011). It is possibly a reference to Diego Rosell y Fuenllana, Parte primera de varias aplicaçiones y transformaciones…
• US-Wc — listed in BrownI but unconfirmed

Notes:
• Wagner shows that there were two editions of this book in 1554. Their differences are only in the first gathering, in the introductory material, amendments to two erroneous page numbers, and no date in the colophon. In Wagner’s catalogue of Martin de Montesdoca’s works, these are nos IV and VII, which he calls Fuenllana (A) and (B). These copies are:
— Fuenllana (A): D-WIl; E-Mn R/5647 / F-Pn [both copies] / GB-Lbl, / GB-Ob
— Fuenllana (B): A-Wn / B-Br / E-E / E-Mn R/9283 / US-Cn / US-NYp

• Digital reproductions: E-Bbc, E-GRda, E-Mn (several copies)

• Copy in Granada: purchased from a Madrid antiquarian bookseller, c.2010? apparently from a private family library in Galicia at a cost of 18,000 EUR.

• US- NYp Condition report. Inspected by Gary Boye on 24 June 2015. His inspection revealed that "the Fuenllana was wet or in very humid conditions at some point--it is very wrinkled, but not mouldy. No evidence of printer corrections or having been played from. The binding appears to be from 16-17th centuries. It is incomplete though, with photocopies of the missing pages inter bound."
• D-WIl is the copy examined by Riemann for his 1895 article
