Catalogue Note
The preface and the text are the same as in the 1513 Vienna edition (see lot 508), though the title is different and the diagram (moved to the end of the work) does not have its accompanying text printed (which begins "Litteram dominicalem ad annum propositum scire si cupis..." in the 1513 edition).
