Notes:

Cataloged from imperfect copy: two fragments, one (237 x 145 mm) containing a portion of the last 48 lines of text from the lower left-hand side of the sheet, the other (233 x 149 mm) containing a portion of the last 44 lines from the lower right-hand side of the sheet, with a few words of text wanting between the two fragments and approximately the first half of the work's text (all before the phrase "sancte obedie[n]tie et s[u]b exco[m]municat[i]o[n]is late") wanting altogether. These fragments appear to have been used as binding waste.

"Bartholomaeus de Camerino is here named as commissary in promoting the war. He undertook this work in Germany, Poland and Hungary. He was subsequently to use this same Nuremberg Augustinian press, which has only a small extant output, to print papal indulgences to fund the campaign."--Leo Cadogan Rare Books.
