Misc. Notes DKB/Rex has this as a scan of the First Edition. This is, I believe, not the case (perhaps it is a scan of a reprint (or new edition?) - judging from Google Books, possibly dating from somewhere between 1855 and ??...) - but not itself an early edition. (The publisher Holle seems to have gotten started around 1840, and the first volume in this series came out around 1855 or so.

(Rex also lists 5 Op.117 Rondolettos by Kuhlau in their catalog, but the only ones they list by name are the 3 published in 1831, nos. 1, 4 and 5 in their revised list; if there are nos. 2 and 3 that Kuhlau wrote for a revised and expanded edition of 1832 e.g. that would account for the discrepancy but which weren't included in the posthumous Holle compilation, information would be appreciated..) - Schissel

BdlF in 1832 lists 3 characteristic rondos published by Farrenc (BNF clarifies that this has Op.118). This could correspond to Spehr's Op.117 or to Simrock's Op.118 or to neither... BdlF also in 1832 lists 3 Rondinos Op.117 (also published by Farrenc) on Beethoven's German songs which would seem to be this under a slightly different title.
