The classif. of 4 undated books (this being one among them) in large folio , in the earliest type used by the Printer of H. Animininsus, proved too difficult , & Proctor abandoned the attempt to arrange them in chronological order. Grimbles cat #396 - The author was a native of Reggio D'Emilia & was a Franciscan.

Kurt Only has argued (Gutenberg Jahrbuch 1956 : 121-40, 1957 : 48 - 60) that the Ariminensis Printer is to be identified - Giorg Rayser, later printer at Wurzburg. But each of the 3 types of the Ariminensis Printer has an independent history , & Ohly's identification is probably truer only for the books printed - the 3rd type. The Ariminensis Type, books may have been produced in Eggestein's shop.
