Title R.82754 – August Pfeiffer, Critica sacra de Sacri Codicis partitione...
Date of Origin/Publication 1721
Place of Origin/Publication Dresden and Leipzig: Gottfried Lesch
Shelfmark R.82754-82755

Remarks

The spine presents marked tear and wear, so that half of the lines are illegible. 

Although it received a separate shelfmark, R.82755 (Augusti Pfeifferi Manuductio nova et facilis ad accentuationem V. T. prosaicam et metricam...) is not a different work; it is just the last section of R.82744.
