Presumably printed shortly after June 15, 1493 by Silber or by Andreas Freitag who had a very similar type and used the woodcut border in another Dati work.--cf. Sander reproductions 770, 772. The Lignamine mentioned in the colophon may be the man who had presses at Rome in the seventies and eighties.
