Note 95 — Early Typography. CHAPTER IV.
Reading edition
As the Chronicle in which this account is given, is said to have been finished in the year 1514, Trithemius (b. 1462; d. 1516,) would have heard the particulars from Peter Schœffer, about the year 1484. The abbot would then have been twenty-two years of age.—Meerman, vol. ii. p. 101, n. The manuscript of the Chronicle was not discovered until near the close of the seventeenth century, when it was printed at St. Gall in the year 1690.
