Exceedingly scarce editions of a catechism and children's introduction to Latin by Lossius (1508-82), an educator and music theorist known for adapting Gregorian chant to Lutheran liturgy. New Grove XV, 205. Neither edition in VD16, which records a 1539 edition of the first work printed in Magdeburg by Michael Lotter, and nothing prior to a 1545 edition of the second work printed in Wittenberg by Georg Rhau; neither in KVK, OCLC, or RLIN.
