The New Testament (v. 6 of this set) has colophon dated Jan. 10, 1514; the appendix (v. 5 of this set) has colophon dated May 31, 1515; the last volume of the Old Testament (v. 4) has colophon dated July 10, 1517. The papal sanction, l. 8b of v. 1, is dated March 22, 1520, and there is reason to believe that the books were not released for circulation until about 1522.
