Ruppel, Wensslen + Richel* - not infrequently took
shares in the printing of one book. Thus the

the types to be the work of all 3. (*of Ehewiler.)

Vol. II quires [ZA-E] are printed with Ruppel 92,

-Was one of the most influential canonists of the later Middle

insisting on the pope's right to exercise power in the church +
on the supreme power of the church as a whole.
