We agree with Schmid that it is more likely that Knauth and Knaut were brothers, rather than father and son. They spelled their family name differently on the t.p.'s of their books. #### Bibliography and biography AG 3: 278; Barnhart 2: 301; BM 2: 996; Bossert p. 214; Dryander 3: 162; Jackson p. 15; Kew 3: 280; PR 4741-4742 (ed. 1: 5277-5278); Rehder 5: 459. - Nicolas, J.
