Goff suggests that this edition was printed in Leipzig ca. 1502 by either Martin Landsberg of Conradus Kachelofen. The closest match in the bibliographical literature seems to be Hain 14118, which presents a similar, though distinctly titled edition. Zoltan Haraszti posits a date of 1498 and suggests that Wolfgang Stockel may have been the printer. See: Haraszti, Zoltan.
