It doesn't have to be written by himself - rather a note
by someone else. I don't remember but guess Tycho was
not in Prague before Dee left Bohemia?

I have just made up another explanation (inspired by
Newbold's "michi dabas multas portas"):

    michi Tonola dabas

And there was a Tonola de Magnasco who married c. 1445
Pasius de Tassis de Cornello, of the Thurn u. Taxis family,
the branch of postmasters; see:

No, I don't believe any of this :-)

Best regards,
