Ein Buch So Marcus Tullius Cicero der Römer zu seinem Sune Marco, Von den tugentsamen ämptern, und zugehuorungen, eyns wol und rechtlebenden Menschen, in Latein geschriben. Translated by Johannes von Schwarzenberg and Johann Neuber. Augsburg: Heinrich Steiner, 7 December 1531.

Modern leather antique.
Third edition of the first German translation, which was first published by Steiner on 16 February 1531.
