Remarks

  1. ↑ In Eisenberg's lexicon, Henrion Poly is printed in bold, so that it can be assumed that Henrion Poly is a two-part surname pseudonym and Poly is not a first name. When looking at the Eisenberg side, this immediately catches the eye: the actors in front are Henneberg Anna and Hennig A dolf and the actors behind are Hensel H einrich and Hensel W ilhel m. This notation applies to the entire lexicon
