It was done deliberately in this way by the Anabaptist Frans Baltensz. (first half of the 17th centuy, a printer from Dordrecht). In his biographical article Knipscheer states about this work that it is ''as famous for its unintelligibility, as it is sought-after for its rarity''. It was already forbidden before it was printed. Baltensz. is said to have cut his manuscript to pieces and subsequently printed it in random order.
