Theory book
Fétis cites an edition printed at Straßburg by Knobloch in 1506. This is not attested elsewhere, and is thus clearly an error.

fol. A1r: Woodcut on the title page. Pythagoras and Lady Musica stand in front of a wheel that has bells at the end of its spokes and a bird perched on its top. Pythagoras holds a hammer in his right hand, and a banner with solmisation syllables in his left. Lady Musica has a pointer in her left hand, and holds the wheel with her right. To her right is a banner with the inscription: “Ach muß mir selbs frewd machen || wān schwartze varb wert' mir lache” (“Oh, I must make pleasure for myself when black colour [i.e. melancholia] laughs at me”) (c. 89 x 89 mm).
fol. A3v: Woodcut of a Hexachord system.

Good. This copy might have been part of a composite volume because a book tab on fol. A2 has been ripped out.
