Menius following Zobel’s death. - Kaspers 37 - VD16 D 751. - STC 343. - Homeyer, Cat. of the *Sachsenspiegel* 25 – A characteristic feature of Zobel’s printed editions is that they frequently contain both the glosses and other supplementary works such as the *Richtsteige*, *Cautela* and *Premis*, as well as the *Remissorien*, *Vokabularien* and other materials (Kaspers). - Title page slightly brown-stained and with faded notes; faint water stains running continuously along the top edge and in the upper inner fold (resulting in some small tears in places); occasional small wormholes.
