Tatii ad Gennaniam ExJwrtatio and the colophon, I am unable to say whether Mook's transcription is accurate or not. The colophon which he gives is as follows :— Excusum Augustae Vindelicorum, per Henricum Steyner, XXVI Augusti, An. mdxxxvi. This tract was reprinted some forty years later, but with- out date. Mook, who mentions it (No. 241) says that it contains the best set of the woodcuts he knows. There was a copy of it in the Beckford Library {Catalogue [1883], Part iii. No. 409). Mook does not allude to the fact that it reappeared in the Lectiones of Wolfius, printed in 1600, and in the Reformir- Spiegel des weltlicheu Bapsts of Joannes de Hyperiis, printed in 1620. These will be referred to below. In the British Museum 47^ ^j^^^^ ^ ^^^^ this work the title of which differs both from that above given and from that of the undated edition (Mook's No. 241;.

This is probably a mere variation and not a separate edition.
