Johann Burchard, also spelled Johannes Burchart or Burkhart[1] (c.1450–1506) was Bishop of Orte and then of Civita Castellana, as well as Master of Ceremonies at the Vatican. He is best known for his Liber Notarum, a record of the various ceremonies of the Catholic Church in which he was involved. His diary is supposed to record the orgy known as the Banquet of Chestnuts allegedly held by Cesare Borgia in the Papal Palace on 30 October 1501. Johann Heynlin (c. 1425 - 1496) appears in various spellings, and the present work was first published in 1492. The publisher, Francesco Sessalli, is perhaps at least as interesting as the two men whose works he published. He was the first prototypographer of Navara; he and his brother founded their printing press in Novara in 1552. Both publications are uncommon. Ordine de la Messa was first published in 1534, and there are copies in the BL, Cambridge, and Toronto; another edition appeared in 1559; and there is one copy of thie 1568 printed in Bibliotheca Comunale di Trentoand. There were a number of incunabula by Heynlin, I did not find a copy of this work published on this date or by Sessalli.
