This compilation of logic texts with extensive commentary by Lambertus de Monte was a popular university text, particularly at Cologne where the Bursa of Lambertus de Monte had an earlier edition of it printed by Zel. This is a close reprint of a 1493 Cologne edition printed by Quentel, one of 8 editions printed by him before 1500.
