Printed for Dürer by Anton Koberger: text printed in Koberger's type 110b, which was cut for, and first used in, the 1493 Latin ed. of the Nuremberg Chronicle (Goff S-307); cf. BM 15th cent.

BM 15th cent. and Pellechet, both describing copies wanting the first leaf, incorrectly describe p. [2] as blank. In the Houghton Library copy, the text on p. [2] begins (col. 1): Incipit prologus in apocalypsim beati Iohannis apostoli; and ends (col. 2, lines 59-60): a deo magisterij doctrina seruetur. Expliciu[n]t prologi.
