Theory book

As in the earlier edition, the music examples (in Hufnagel notation) are printed from double impression. This edition is closely modelled on the 1514 edition (down to the level of preserving line breaks), though it is evidently newly set (including the music examples). The later version has one additional folio (B6), where the music is printed in landscape.
