An edition of the Zinckenistenordnung from 1758 has just turned up. This is an entirely new print in a smaller format and with a different layout. The title page says 1758, as you can see, but the last sentence of the document, identical to the one from 1721, says: "So geschehen in Unserer Residentz Ludwigsburg, den 18ten Augusti Anno Siebenzehenhundert Ein und Zwanzig." So this is indeed, in its contents, exactly the same document as the earlier one. What I find fascinating, though, is that there was still a need for such rules about playing and teaching the cornetto as late as 1758. (Click on the image to move to the next page.)
