Martin Hagstrøm: ‘The scene with Death coming for the printers has also been copied after Matthias Huss’ image of printers and booktrader, which is obvious since this image is not known from any other books. Nourry has also adopted the same strange placement: Not at the end of the dance as one would think, but between astrologer and canon.’ ...
‘The book ends by stating that it was printed in Lyon sur le Rosne (the river Rhône) by Claude Nourry on the last day of August, 1501’
