Formschneider published a second anthology of motets à 4, à 5 and à 6, as 15383 (RISM No. 993104214). The two-volume set (15371 and 15383) was re-issued in a revised and augmented three-volume edition by Berg and Neuber in Nürnberg in 1558 and 1559; see 15584 (motets à 6), 15591 (motets à 5), and 15592 (motets à 4).
RISM B/I [c.1537]2 describes an incomplete copy at I-Mc ([Nürnberg], [Johann Petreius], [s.d.]) but those part books in fact belong to this edition. Petreius's earliest volumes of psalms and motets are 15386 and 15387.
This record was merged with RISM ID no. 993114962.
Contents note: Nos. 1-12 are à 6, 13-32 à 5, and 33-57 à 4.
