Catalogue Note
Rare: one of three recorded copies. A similar pamphlet was also produced with an identical title but for the Dominicans of Augsburg, which survives in a unique copy in the University Library of Munich. The attribution to Otmar is based on typeface; the two distinctive "I"s used in the headings of the text and the saw-edged paraph-mark match other works printed by Otmar.
