Imprint from Goff. Some sources ascribe printing to Strassburg and the press of Heinrich Eggestein, ca. 1473-75. Cf. ISTC and GW. Assigned by Scholderer (Gutenberg-Jahrbuch, 1950, p. 168) to an unidentified Strassburg printer; identified by Ohly (Gutenberg-Jahrbuch, 1962, p. 127) as Eggestein.

Leaf [187a] (at end of text): Deo gracias. Laus deo pax viuis. Requies eterna defunctis.

On leaf [51b] two-thirds of the page is left blank (interrupting a sentence), with the note "Vacat Nec Vicio Nec Defectu"; in the same way, the lower half of leaf [64b] is blank, with the same note followed by the catchword "Sequitur E Cacrere [etc]" (a misprint for Carcere).

The text printed on leaf [98b] is that proper to leaf [150a] where it appears differently set up.
