He printed two editions, one on 12 May and the present one on 27 November, and both are known with substantial sections in duplicate typesettings. The edition was originally commissioned by Friedrich (Mauerkircher), Graf von Öttingen, Bishop of Passau, but his death on 3 March 1490 resulted in publication under his successor, Christoph von Schachner; the arms of both men are incorporated into the episcopal woodcut.
