Comments:

This book has been reprinted and translated many times, often with a different illustration of a wooden printing press. A preliminary bibliography of this book lists 48 editions. An overview of the 44 illustrations of a wooden press in these editions can be seen here.

The frontispices of 1660a and 1660b mention different printers, but the typesetting of every pages looks nearly identical. Did they just add another frontispice?

Technique:

Engraving
