Further details:

This book has separate sections (called Libri), but are printed in one. Comparison with the 1517 edition (from Leipzig): different format (oblong, not upright), very similar examples, but newly cut; content is exactly the same, musical examples are newly cut, but stay very close to first edition. Further editions after 1550: Leipzig 1555, London 1609.
