Composer: Jacob Meiland

Publication date and place: 1590 in Wittenberg by Johann Francken.
Description: A collection published twelve years after Meiland’s death by the schoolmaster Eberhard Schele. The title says that these works were composed shortly before Meiland's death.
The print also contains some works on Psalm 13 by Peter Heins (Petrus Heinsius), dedicated to Eberhard Schele, and added, as the prescript says, because there was space left.
