VD 16, ZV 30956 (kein Ex. in der BSB); Benzing, Köbel 90 (nur Anmerkung); Smith, Rara 102 (ohne genaue bibliogr. Beschreibung); vgl. Reiss & Auvermann Auktion 46, 18 (1991),  Hoock-J. K8.11 u. Graesse IV, 37 (alle nennen abweichende Titelvarianten). - Sehr seltener Druck des bedeutenden Rechenbuches, von dem im Jahr 1522 mehrere Druckvarianten exisitieren, allesamt Rarissima. "Köbel's first book was 'Rechenbüchlein (etc.)" ... The book was widely read and went through many editions, most of them under altered titles, and was continually revised and enlarged. In it Köbel treated the manipulation of the abacus, computational operations ... the rule of three, fractions ... and a few problems of recreational mathematics" (DSB VII, 418). "It is a purely commercial book, with all of the operations performed by counters as was still the custom of the time in most parts of Germany" (Smith, Rara 106). - Titelbordüre minimal angeschnitten, unten kleine Wurmspur zumeist im weißen Rand, minimale Text- und Bordürenberührung.

Extremely scarce edition of this attractively illustrated arithmetical work for commercial use. With 2 woodcut borders and many mathematical text illustrations and large woodcut initals. - Title border minimally touched by binder's knife, tiny wormholes mostly to white lower margins, minimally touching title border and few letters. Recent half-cloth.
