Flores musicae. Strasbourg: Johann Prüss, 1488.
First incunable edition of this important and famous musical treatise, one of the very first to include woodcut-printed scores. Spechtshart, who probably taught in Reutlingen, published this work (which also covers history and grammar) for the use of his students. This fundamental work, most probably composed in the second quarter of the 14th century, profoundly influenced later musical compositions.
