 which he used in printing the " Catholicon " passing into the 

 hands of Heinrich Bechtermiinze, who set up a press at 

 Eltville in 1467. Here, he printed two books " De Articulis 

 Fidei " of Thomas Aquinas and the " Vocabularius ex quo."

 work was completed by his brother Nicolaus Bechtermiinze, 

 who eighteen months later produced a second edition, still 

 using Gutenberg's types. The work now acquired is a copy 

 of this second edition.
