purpose in the year 1503. The book was successful + 10
other ed. were issued in the 16th C. the last, that of
1599 being an Italian translation. Several of these ed.
were unauthorized, the 1st of such reprints being issued
in Feb 1504 by J. Gruninger at Strassburg. To this
a synopsis of Hebrew grammar was added, + the
colophon of the 2nd authorized ed. printed by Schott
in March 1504 contains a warning that such additions
are not the work of the author.
