Edition Notes
Imprint from colophon.
Illustrations: 8 full-page woodcuts. The 1st (showing Celtis presenting this book to Friedrich, Elector of Saxony) and the 2nd (showing Hrosvita presenting her work to Emperor Otto the Great) derive from sketches by Albrecht Dürer, but were not cut by him. The remaining 6 serve as title ill. to the 6 "comedies." They have been ascribed in the past to various artists but are mostly probably by Hans von Kulmbach; see Meister um Albrecht Dürer.
