| Notes: | Imperfect: title-page and perhaps three other preliminary leaves containing the list of characters wanting; title supplied from a review in Beyträge zur critischen historie der deutschen sprache, poesie und beredsamkeit, hrsg. von einigen mitgliedern der Deutschen gesellschaft in Leipzig, vol. 1, 1732, p. 137.
Parchment binding with illuminated title in manuscript: Ein lieblich vnd nützlich spil v.d. patriar Jacob vnd seinen 12 söhnen. Magdebg. 1534.
The binder's title corresponds to the title of the Magdeburg edition of the Jacob play by Joachim Greff and Georg Major, with which the present play has been erroneously identified. For authorship see a typewritten paper by William A. Kozumplik, Johann Dünnehaupt's Jacob: an unicum. [Chicago, 1940] in the University of Chicago libraries.
