Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

Most ancient writers, it seems, with whom also
A. Mellinus agrees, fix the time of the excommunication
and martyrdom of said Albert, about A. D.
750. A. M., fol. 329, col. 1. Seb. Franck fixes it
ten years earlier, namely, A. D. 740. In Chron.
Rom. Kett., fol. 64, col. 2.

However, this discrepancy can easily be reconciled,
if a distinction is made between the time when
Albert commenced to teach against the Pope and
the Roman Church, and the time when he was
anathematized by the Pope, and, ultimately, deprived
of life in the dungeon at Fulda; for ten years
can easily have intervened, and Seb. Franck may
therefore have had regard to the time when he began
to teach, while the other authors, including
Mellinus, may have referred to the time of his
death.

Regarding this it appears that John Gysius made
a great error, either through incorrect authors, or
for some other reason, when he fixes the time of
the aforesaid martyr, A. D. 900. See in the margin
of the place referred to above.
