<br />
<b>Printing History, Manuscripts.</b> Not printed before Telle (1993). Two manuscripts.<br />
<br />
<b>Editions.</b> Not edited by Huser or Sudhoff. Critical edition of both versions (but not the <i>practica</i>) by Joachim Telle in 1993.<br />
<br />
<b>Relationship between different versions.</b> The text exists in two versions, in prose and in verse, each found in one single manuscript. The Weimar manuscript has the prose version, a text called <i>Von dem Wunderstein</i>. The Kassel manuscript has a rhymed version. Telle seems to conclude that the rhymed version is an adaption of the prose text.<br />
<br />
<b>Structure, genre/form, perspective, style.</b> The prose version is written in the form of a letter to “his good patron and friend.” The recipient is directly addressed in the first and in the last paragraph. In the Weimar manuscript the text is followed by a <i>practica</i>. In the Kassel manuscript the verses are followed by two paragraphs of a practical text that is, however, incomplete (missing folios in the manuscript).<br />
<br />
<b>Relationship to other texts.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Authenticity, authorship.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Time of writing.</b> Further study required.<br />
