The book is from 1678 and appears to have been published posthumously, since Freitag lived from 1581-1641. I'm curious to know if it was originally printed in Latin, however, since it seems like most of his works were, or if the vernacular edition was the primary one.

Honestly any information anyone has on Freitag or the book would be much appreciated! It's been a fascinating read, but finding scholarship on it has been a total bust.
