H5r: A shield upon which a naked man holds a star over his stomach and genitals with his left hand. In his right hand he holds two snakes aloft. The shield is topped with a helmet with fronds cascading down. There are two large horns on top of the helmet, between which is a six-pointed star. Above this is printed the couplet, “Erhardi Ratdolt felicia conspice signa || Testata artificem qua valet ipse manum ||”. The printer's mark is printed in black and red (c. 103 x 140 mm).

Liturgical book
D-Mbs 2 Inc.c.a. 3352 contains a canon printed on vellum, signed (p-gathering) and foliated continuously. D-Mbs 2 Inc.c.a. 3353 contains a variant canon printed on vellum, also signed as 'p', but not foliated. The variant canon is clearly printed by Ratdolt, as is evident from the music type and the initials. It is also clearly a canon according to the use of Augsburg. The variant canon does not match those from other editions of the Missale Augustense printed by Ratdolt. It is possible that for some unknown reason, a second canon was printed.
The copy in A-SPL is a ghost, the copy formerly in A-SF has been sold and is of unknown whereabouts.
