As our first example of how these tables may be used we will take a colophon where no year of the Lord is given, and sovereigns are mentioned without their regnal years. We shall find that even the mere names may help us to a close approximate date. Our instance shall be Wendelin of Speier’s edition of the “Supplementum” of Nicolaus de Auximo, the colophon to which ends: Vendelinus opus pressit Spireus utrunque: Labe repurgatum (crede) uolumen emis. Impressum est Sixto sacrorum antistite quarto, Et Veneto Troni principis imperio.
