The book includes eighteen woodcut illustrations (some repeated) and six woodcut diagrams. There are depictions of angels in heaven with swords and musical instruments, the creation of Adam and Eve, the elements, and the signs of the zodiac alongside months of the year. Several of the woodcuts are of medical interest and include illustrations of an autopsy with a professor of medicine lecturing to his pupils, and a physician visiting an apothecary and a patient. Another woodcut depicts mining and dredging operations. There are also representations of animals and birds, plants and trees, and the ages of man.
