M. was equated with the engraver Mair unknown first name, which is due to in the lurch, “The hour of death” being played in the city arms out literature as “Mair von Landshut”.

The messages on the 18th and early 19th century, declining message that he was born in 1450 in Landshut, and in 1520 died there has not yet been proven. This also applies to the claim that the painter was in the years 1492, 1499 and 1514, named as a court painter in Landshut.
