"The last line (all but one word) on 81a, noting the foundation of the Monastery of Rougemont in the words: 'Monasteriu[m] Rubeimo[n]tis fundat[ur] ab incolis loci illi[us]. & [per] Willeriu[m] comite[m] gruerie dotat[ur]', is absent in some copies."--BMC
"Reprinted from the edition of Walch, Venice, 1479 ... with which it agrees in the wording of the first part of the colophon, and not containing the additional matter appended to Ratdolt's 1480 edition ... The cuts, however, are not at all closely copied and a number or references to Swiss affairs are introduced into the text, while a metrical explanation of the Roman numerals, which had already appeared in Wirtzburg and Steinschaber's (Geneva) Calendarium, 1479, is appended to the prologue."--BMC
