Publication History
Ringer kunst was first printed 1539 in Wittenberg, Germany by Hans Lufft. In 1669, a second edition was printed by G. A. Schmidt and K. Waffmansdorff in Leipzig.
Some time after the first printing in 1539, a manuscript copy with extensive annotations was produced by an unknown scribe (2° Cod.MS.Philos.62).
