Place of printing assigned to Paris by Weller. However, in comparing this work to the results of a study done by R.A. Sayce, Amsterdam appears to be the more likely place of printing. cf. Sayce, R.A.

The printer, Pierre Mortier, was printing in Amsterdam at the time. cf. Goldfriedrich, J.  Geschichte des deutschen Buchhandels, 2:218.
