Remarks: Pr assigns to an anonymous press, after 1500, and the book was excluded from BMC. It was then re-assigned at the BM to [Bergmann, c.1495] (attribution and dating used by Sheppard). CIBN, however, points out distinctions between some of the types used and those known in Bergmann's work; BSB‑Ink assigns to [Bergmann] and dates [c.1494-5].
