Weber, ‘Ein Druckerscherz in einem Lübecker Frühdruck', Nordisk tidskrift for bok- och biblioteksväsen, 27 (1940), 158-9; the author suggests that it might be a joke of an Italian apprentice who had followed Arndes from Perugia, where he had established a workshop in c.1480, back to northern Germany.
