organ tablature anonymous 'tenor Anavois' on f. 70 (not 'Tenor Enavois', the initial "A" was misread as "E" in Apel's keyboard edition). 'Anavois' corrupted from "Une fois [avant que morir]". Not by Ciconia. For a corrected version see: Lewon, Marc: Das Lochamer-Liederbuch in neuer Übertragung und mit ausführlichem Kommentar, Brensbach/Deutschland: Verlag der Spielleute, 2010 (vol. 3)
