[| Tuebingen, 1499] * VERY RARE, Voynich, second list of books, 818, describing this copy: “ Printed by Otmar for Fr. Meyenberger. Apparently unknown to Hain: for, although he men- tions (No. 3187), a book by Biel (which he never saw), it does not appear... to be this one. Copinger (3187) puts it down as this: but his own description proves that, if he has given the collation accurately, it must be another issue ...” Not in Proctor.
