Ya-sou zeu-nè ki-liah faong-yé = histoire abrégée de la passion de Jésus-Christ en dialecte de Chang-hai = Yesu shounan jilüe fangyan 耶穌受難記畧方言 / Stanislas Chevalier 蔡尚質, 1852-1930.

The book consists of two interleaved imprints. The Chinese (literary [preface only] and Shanghai dialect) text was printed one-sided using (lead) movable type (called huoban 活板 here) and folded over to form two pages, as is standard in thread-bound books. The Chinese text was printed in 1909 and is numbered in the Chinese manner, by leaf. The numbering of the two Chinese prefaces (the same text presented first in Shanghai dialect and then in literary Chinese) is jumbled, with leaf numbered "2" preceding the leaf numbered "1." The prefaces are dated 1897 (Guangxu 23).

The French and Romanized Chinese (Shanghai dialect) text was printed in 1909. It too is printed one-sided, but rather than folded over in the way of the Chinese text, the leaves of the French and Romanized Chinese text have been cut to half the size of the Chinese-text leaves and bound with one blank side on the verso or recto of the leaf. The preface is paginated in Roman numerals. The first six pages of the main text are paginated in the European manner (1-6). After that, the page numbers are given as 4A, 4B, 5A, etc. These numbers correspond to the Chinese pagination, with A and B indicating recto and verso.

The numerous, unpaginated illustrations, which carry only Chinese-script captions, have been bound in the manner of the Chinese text, that is, folded to form two pages.
