Specialist Notes

Siebmacher's main work was first published in two volumes in 1605-09, Paul Fürst took over his publishing house in the 1950s and published the current expanded edition in four parts. A fifth part was announced in 1665, and the appendix to the fifth part with the complete register (according to Hampe) was finally published in 1668.
