Publication History
Ringer kunst was first printed 1539 in Wittenberg by Hans Lufft. In 1869, a second edition was produced by Karl Wassmannsdorff and printed in Leipzig by G. A. Schmidt.
Some time after the first printing in 1539, a manuscript copy with extensive annotations was produced by an unknown scribe (the 2º Col.MS.Philos.62).
