Theory book

This is a newly set and recut edition of the earlier ones by Furter, with a shortened title and some red printed lines on the title page; for more details and the attributions to Schönsperger see Ripin. The entries in RISM are irregular and incomplete. There seem to be several issues: the Vienna copy misprints the signature F2: J2, the Karlsruhe copy also F2:J2, furthermore N4:N2, F2:J2. Otherwise the pages look the same.
