Note 5 — INTRODUCTION
Reading edition
By Gustav Milchsack in the library at Wolfenbüttel, and edited by him in Historia D. Johannis Fausti des Zauberers [Wolfenbüttel, 1892-7]. Milchsack promised at the time to follow up this publication with a second volume containing the results of his researches, but he has not yet done so, and according to German custom, other scholars have hitherto refrained from trespassing on his preserves, so the problems raised by the discovery of this manuscript have not yet been fully investigated.
