• "In the Sacro Busto there are a number of diagrams not found in the ... edition of 1482 [q.v.] ... [but] the frontispiece and the diagrams in the other two tracts are from the blocks of the earlier edition ... It appears from Dke Sanctis' 1488 edition ... that the diagrams are the work of Santritter, who was no doubt the editior."--BMC.
