Further details:

D-Mbs 2 Inc.c.a. 3352 contains a canon printed on vellum, signed (p-gathering) and foliated continuously. D-Mbs 2 Inc.c.a. 3353 contains a variant canon printed on vellum, also signed as 'p', but not foliated. The variant canon is clearly printed by Ratdolt, as is evident from the music type and the initials. It is also clearly a canon according to the use of Augsburg. The variant canon does not match those from other editions of the Missale Augustense printed by Ratdolt. It is possible that for some unknown reason, a second canon was printed.
The copy in A-SPL is a ghost, the copy formerly in A-SF has been sold and is of unknown whereabouts.
