The woodcut on the title page and D6v also reappear in VD16 S 2074, the colophon of which identifies the printer as Johannes von Hanau. The colophon of the present book begs the reader to excuse the fact that there is no printed music, laying it not to the charge of the printer, but to the rarity of music printing.
