Dear Ivo,

According to D.E.Smith, Peter Roth was born at Ingolstadt, ca. 1580.
Could it be plausible that Roth studied at the then famous University
of Ingolstadt, precursor of the modern Ludwig-Maximilians University
in Munich? DES also remarks that Roth died at Nu"rnberg, 1617; but
which is the original or earliest known source for this information?

Best regards,
Julio
