Remarks: As dated by Moreau, Hillard, and CIBN, in spite of the date in the colophon, on the basis of the state of the device of Jean Petit (Konrad Haebler, Verlegermarken des Jean Petit (Halle an der Saale, 1914), no. IIIc); GW, BSB‑Ink and Sheppard date to 26 Sept. 1500, BSB‑Ink identifying the device as Haebler IIIb, rather than IIIc.
