Catalogue Note
The first work is rare - it is recorded in just five copies, two of which are imperfect. Pafraet also printed an edition dated 10 November 1489 which survives in only two copies.
This is the only recorded copy of the second work. Many editions were published around this time in the Low Countries and northern Germany, all of which survive in just one or two copies.
