Le privilège de l'édition, daté de Malines le 12 janvier 1529 (n.s. = 12 janvier 1530), a été accordé par Charles Quint à l'auteur pour la publication de quatre de ses traités: De occulta philosophia, De incertitudine, In artem brevem Raimundi Lulli commentaria, et Quaedam orationes et epistolae. Il est rédigé en langue française et a été imprimé en caractères gothiques. Note ancienne : ""Cette édition de 1530 est plus rare que les corbeaux blancs"""
