Incunabula short title catalogue gives date 1497/98. However, according to Paul Needham, "This work was announced as shortly to be published in Aldus's edition of Perottus's Cornucopiae from August 1496; Jan. 1497 is therefore a more likely date than Jan. 1498." See Paul Needham, "Counting Incunables: the IISTC CD-ROM," Huntington Library Quarterly 61, no. 3/4 (1998): 512-513.
