Colophon

Notes:

This colophon inscription identifies the translator of the text from Latin into German as Herr Melchior: "Herr Melchior, master of the seven liberal arts and parish priest of Our Lady’s church at Königshofen [north of Bamberg in Franconia] at the request of the noble, serious and worthy Herr Sigmund von Lenntershann of Mur, knight, made the translation from Latin into German."

Notes:

This manuscript can be dated to ca. 1465. An ox-head watermark identifies the paper as a type from Innsbruck, Landshut, Nördlingen, and Rattenberg, in present-day Germany and Austria, from between 1464 and 1466 (Piccard 571-573).Dr. Regula Forster kindly supplied information on the watermark.
