Leipzig, Ernst Vögelin, 1561. 6 unnumbered leaves, 571 numbered leaves, 43 unnumbered leaves. 34 x 22 cm. 18th-century half-leather binding with spine label (slightly rubbed). VD16, D 751—The second edition edited by Zobel, published immediately after his death by his son-in-law Georg Menius. Christoph Zobel published the *Sachsenspiegel* (with a Latin translation, glosses, and other additions) “translated into the Meissen dialect, specifically to remedy the book’s alleged obscurity.” Zobel continued to work on this modernization, as evidenced by the editions of the Landrecht by G. Menius and the Lehnrecht by Romanus, which were compiled from his handwritten estate ... The draft prepared in Leipzig was the subject of detailed deliberation at the convention in Meissen in 1572.” (Stinzting / Landsberg). - Moisture stains in places along the edges; two missing sections on the title page (each approx. 4 x 6 cm), which were filled in during the 18th century and marked with a new name entry: “F. v. Ostmann 1786.” Partial loss of the image in the woodcut coat of arms on the back. Otherwise a good, stain-free copy. *
