  notes:
    - "Three issues can be distinguished in spite of identical typesetting: a) printed on vellum or Bull's Head paper; b) on Galliziani paper; c) on Tower & Crown paper. This has given rise to the theory that issue a) was printed in 1460, issue b) in 1469 and issue c) about 1472; see P. Needham, in BSA 76 (1982) pp.395-456 and the articles \"zur Catholicon-Forschung\" in Wolfenbütteler Notizen zur Buchgeschichte 13 (1988) pp.105-232. For an alternative theory that all states were printed concurrently not before 1469, see L. Hellinga, 'The Mainz Catholicon 1460-1470: An experiment in book production' in her Incunabula in Transit (2018), pp. 126-203."
