"The present legend, rhymed by an unknown Dutch author, was very likely the translation of a Latin one, affixed to the original block book of the Historia crucis, which was sawn in pieces by Veldener to use separately the woodcuts in a quarto book." - Cf. NUC.

The reproduction of Veldener's book is from J.P. Berjeau's facsimile edition, entitled: Geschiednis van het heylighe cruys; or, History of the holy cross ...  London, 1863.
