Autograph :

Annis millenis preteritis atque trecentis

Et sexaginta senis Mercurii die transactis
Post festum sancti Barth apos excoriati
Kyeser Conradus Eystetensis sum mundo natus
Genitus factus Cancri Jovis hora peractus
A Rüdigero patre ac Elyzabeth pia matre
Me peto deus almus conservet virginis almus

In praesenti vita, futuram dirigat ita.
[Annis millenis preteritis atque trecentis

Et sexaginta senis Mercurii die transactis
Post festum sancti Bartholomei apostoli excoriati
Kyeser Conradus Eystetensis sum mundo natus
Genitus factus Cancri signo Jovis hora peractus
A Rüdigero patre ac Elyzabeth pia matre
Me peto deus almus conservet virginis almus
In praesenti vita, futuram dirigat ita.] [Since counted a thousand years
Three hundred and sixty still true
On Wednesday as today well known
named after skinning of Bartholomei festival
Was I born to the world in Eichstätt
Kyeser Conrad one called me
Born as like a cancer
Jupiter's time in the Webs
Rüdiger to the father, Elisabeth to the pious mother
God shall always keep me, the son of the Virgin mercifully

Here at earth time, lead into the future life]
