Source attribution in the Basel record
The central provenance source for this entry is the Zentralbibliothek Zürich catalog record for the Basel 1566 broadsheet, where the name Coccius, Samuel appears in the name-based attribution field.123
Role in provenance versus printing
The same record preserves publication context, including Basel origin and format metadata, while printer attribution is recorded separately for Samuel Apiarium, showing that Coccius’s cataloged role differs from the printer role.145
Citation-based interpretation of the name
Because the record identifies Coccius through catalog authority fields rather than eyewitness claims, modern interpretations treat the name as a bibliographic attribution node in the document chain and evaluate his participation through provenance metadata, while historical framing of the event moved from omen readings toward natural explanations.367
