[The Gesamtkatalog describes an edition corresponding in all the details given with the present copy, but ascribes it to Ulrich Zel. Proctor had previously assigned the Museum and Bodleian copies to Zel, and he was followed by the Br. Mus. Cat. Inc. There are therefore, presumably, two editions, corresponding line for line. This copy is certainly printed in Schoeffer's type 5, which is distinguishable from Zel's type 2 by its body (116 mm. instead of 113 mm.), by the absence of hyphens, and by the form of several majuscules, particularly D, E, O and P.
