Further details:

The editor is identified by McDonald as J[ohannes] A[delphus] A[rgentinensis]. This is a new edition with different woodcuts (compared with the edition from 1500); earlier editions: 1) Basel: Michael Furter, 1496 [GW M16243]; 2) Ulm: J. Schäffler, 1497 [GW M16245]; 3) Augsburg: J. Froschauer, 1498 [GW M16240].
Fétis cites an edition printed at Straßburg by Knobloch in 1506, not attested elsewhere, and clearly an error. Klaus Wolfgang Niemöller, ‘Keinspeck, Michael,’ in MGG2 VII, col. 781, reports a second edition printed by Hupfuff in 1506, dated Idus Martias anno huius seculi sexto; however, this is the date of the letter of dedication, not of the printing of the edition. There is only one 1506 edition of the work.
