Nichols makes no attempt to substantiate the attribution, and is probably following Evans, who tentatively gives Brattle as the author. Brattle's only other known almanac was published in 1682, with his name on the title page.;

500 a| It seems more probable that the present almanac is by Christian Lodowick, or Ludwig, who published one under his own name for the following year, 1685. The latter has the same imprint, gives the same statement of meridian on the title page, and has the same material in the same arrangement on the calendar pages (but with medical prescriptions appended at the foot).;

500 a| Brattle's 1682 calendar pages and meridian statement differ considerably; and there is no explanation of the 12-year space between the two almanacs, nor of the latter one being unsigned.;

500 a| Almanac authors sometimes published their first work anonymously to test its acceptance, and the present almanac is thus susceptible to explanation as Lodowick's initial effort.;
