Note
The paper evidence suggests that the book was produced after Caxton had moved to England in 1476. Caxton probably left his type behind to his business partner. The identity of this hypothetical partner is unknown, but it has usually been thought to have been Colard Mansion, at Bruges. (However, Lotte Hellinga rejected Mansion as partner, and suggested David Aubert, the Ghent scribe in her ''William Caxton, Colard Mansion and the Printer in Type 1', in Ead., Incunabula in Transit (Leiden, Brill, 2018), pp.286-322)
