"The title-cut [of the crucifixion] is also found in Bonaventura, Deuote meditazioni, De Bonellis, 14 December 1497 (IA.23831). It looks rather more worn in the present book, which is therefore perhaps dated 'more veneto"--BM 15th cent. Essling and Sander also suggest that the woodcut is a later use of that in the Bonaventure work; therefore, according to BM 15th cent., the date of this item may be by Easter year change and if so should be 1498
