JapSin II, 51 The cover bears a label with the title and a Latin inscription: “Liber Primus | De Resolutione triangulorum | recti, lineorum et sphaericorum Liber secundus | de arte construendi tabellas | sinuum tangentium Sectantium | a p. Joanne Terrentio S.J.”The title page bears four large Chinese characters: Xinfa lishu 新法曆書 (Calendar according to the new method). The verso of this folio mentions the title and the section to which the book belongs: 西洋新法曆書，法原部, the chief compiler (Xu Guangqi): 明體部尚書兼翰林院學士協理詹事府事加俸一級徐光啟修, the author (Terrenz) and reviser (Schall): 修改曆法極西耶穌會士鄧玉函撰，湯若望訂, and the proofreaders (Chen Yingdeng, Pan Guoxiang, Zheng Hongyou, Zhou Yin, Chen Yujie, and Liu Youqing): 門人陳應登，潘國祥，鄭洪猷，周胤，陳于階，劉有慶受法. The table of contents consists of three folios. There are nine columns to each half folio with twenty-two characters in the first column of each paragraph and twenty-one in the rest of the paragraph. The title is given in the middle of each folio with the number of the folio. Juan A and B have twenty-six folios each. The Dace is a book on trigonometry 大測者，測三角形法也 (see folio 2 of the table of contents). Cf. Pfister, p. 157, no. 4; Feng 1938, p. 185, no. 4; Hsü 1949, p. 369; Couplet, p. 18; Courant 4876.
