26c: (Organ treatise). The name "Osswald Holtzach" appears on page 1; whether he is the composer, scribe, or simply an owner of this part of the manuscript is not clear.

26e: 12 paper folios, ca. 318 x 220. New pencil foliation.

The organ treatise (26c) is dated 1515; the two threnodies in 26g can be approximately dated from the fact that Bonifacius Amerbach died in 1562, his son Basilius in 1591; ca. 1520 for the rest of the manuscript (KirschQM).
