Catalogue Note

An arithmetic (Rechenbuch) designed for use in schools. "It seems not to have been a great success because no other copy of this book is known to us. It not only deals with the usual paper-and-ink methods but also describes the table abacus and provides exercises for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division auff Linien" (Tomash & Williams). A single copy is reported by VD17, in Göttingen.
