Diligent scholarship has failed to achieve consensus on the artist[s] responsible for the 7 full-page woodcuts, 10 pages comprising 51 woodcuts (including frequent repetitions) and text, and 1 half-page woodcut variously attributed to Albrecht Dürer, the Master of the Bergmann Printing House, and the artist of Narrenschiff and Ritter von Turn, some suggesting that two or more are synonymous. Cf. Dodgson, Kurth, et al.
