Notes:	"Epistola", leaf [1] verso by Jacobus Wimpheling. Suggested place of publication from Incunabula short title catalogue. "Usually assigned to [Friedrich] Misch (who died ca.1490) but, since the epidemic did not take hold until the mid-1490s (Geldner I p.268), it is more likely that the book was printed by the anonymous successor to his types (cf. Amelung, Frühdruck I p.XX). Polain dates about 1488"--Incunabula short title catalogue. Goff dates to 1490, Reichling to circa 1494, Klebs and Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke date to 1495, and Incunabula short title catalogue to approximately 1496.
