contents: The printer of this work, Dirk Martens van Aalst (c. 1446-1534) worked, during his long carreer, in Alost, Louvain and Antwerp. This book is printed between 1498 and 1501, when he had first set up a workshop in Louvain. He was the only printer there after the departure of Johan van Westfalen. Although Louvain had been a university town since 1425, Van Aalst produced mainly non-academic editions in the beginning such as this one from 1499. The commission was probably due to his fame as a printer of breviaries. In the following years, he printed several other publications intended exclusively for the English market.
