Note

Entered by Ava Byrne Whilst 1540 is given in the preface, the end notes are dated 1543 (Brückner, 1927, p. 164). This could suggest that the first part of the text is a reprint of an earlier 1540 edition, with some small differences in the typography (Brückner, 1926, p. 297).The symmetry of the style is similar to Ungler’s 1540 edition (Schlusemann, 2023, p.106), albeit with self-praised improvements (Brückner, 1927, pp. 163-4). This text boasts the first mention of ‘seven’ in any of the Polish editions, a feature which is mostly standardised across versions and helped its overall notoriety across cultures (Schlusemann, 2023, p. 103). A printer’s preface is included. (text by Ava Byrne)
