Purchased by him at the Frankfurt fair in Spring 1569. The Frankfurt Book Fair, the first of its kind in the world, had been established sometime in the decades following the invention of moveable type by Gutenberg at Mainz (not far from Frankfurt), and certainly by 1462, the year that Johann Fust and Peter Schöffer, who had taken over Gutenberg's print shop, moved to the larger city. In the Reformation era, the fair, held in the spring and autumn of each year, grew to become the most important meeting place for merchants wanting to access the widest market for new books, and for scholars of all kinds looking for the latest available publications. Zandhugl's careful inscription in his copy of this handbook of the Roman Catholic church indicates his awareness of the significance of his priestly role - the two biblical quotations he gives both relate to the status of the parish priest: 'For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts' (Malachi Chapter 2), and 'the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the Lord thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously' (Deuteronomy, Chapter 12, verses 12-13).
