Second Ulm edition of this popular work attributed to Albertus Magnus, first printed in Nuremberg ca. 1469 (Goff A-229). Zainer's previous edition (Goff A-233) is dated not after 1480 on the basis of a rubricator's date in the Stuttgart copy. According to the annotated edition of BMC, a Leipzig copy of the present edition had a rubricator's date of 1481.

Hugo Ripelin of Strassburg, a Dominican, wrote the Compendium theologicae veritatis as a summary of important theological concepts. Bernold, who was a Cistercian monk of Kaisersheim in Bavaria, extracted from the Compendium a list of themes for sermons de tempore and de sanctis which was often published with it, as here.
