Name of the songbook
The songbook was named after one of its first owner, who " is Wolflein of Locham [e ] r the gesenngk Büch " with the words has registered in 1500 in the book. Because of the widespread among Jews because of the first name and a dedication in Hebrew writing in the book, it was assumed that he was a Jew. The addition of Lochamer was therefore ( according to one of the places called hole home ) interpreted as indication of origin, so called the book also hole Heimer Songbook. However, it is now clear that the dedication by no means comes from a Yiddish or Hebrew knowledgeable writers and Wolflein (from) Lochamer a Christian Nuremberg patrician family belonged. The name of the songbook is therefore now hyphenated because it refers to a family name, and not a place.
