Title from incipit (leaf [1]/2r): "Hye hebt sich an von dem Enndkrist genomen und geczogen usz vil büchern..."
Listed as Germany, Unassigned by Proctor, BMC (I pp. xxvi & 168) suggests Strassburg as the most likely place of printing and Johann Prüss as the possible printer, but Victor Scholderer's marginal notes in the reprint disproved this. Paul Needham, "Counting Incunables: The ISTC CD-ROM," 518-19, clarified the attribution and followed Scholderer's identification of Heinrich Eggestein as the printer; see also Geldner, Die deutschen Inkunabeldrucker, I: 67.
