Misc. Notes
|
Date 1846 from inside title page (may or may not count as copyright?). "Neue auflage" according to page 4 (which also has the date). First (1842) edition may have had the same plates though, would have been consistent with Schott table. (Revision for Berlin, "mit der Umarbeitung des 4. Acts" etc.)
