Edition Note 

Internet Issue 
( 2007 ) 



The files listed on the internet do not contain 
the complete and final versions of Mineralogy 
S¿ Crystallography: a Biobibliography or the 
companion book, Mineralogy ¿¿ Crystallogra- 
phy: On the History of these Sciences. Rather 
these are intermediate presentations of a por- 
tion of the computerized database being cre- 
ated to output a final version as printed books. 
However, even in this incomplete state these 
works give a substanial history of mineralogy 
and crystallography together with exhaustive 
descriptions of the major books. These files 
are being made available to the general public 
because of numerous requests for access to the 
information and the benefit to the compiler in 
the feedback he recieves from the readers. Al- 
though it is a work in progress with errors and 
formatting problems, these intermediate files 
are still a very useable reference sources. 

The Biobibliography and the History are 
companion works ultimately intended to each 
stand complete in itself, but to never the less 
complement each other, with information from 
one feeding into the other. This is particularly 
true of the section labeled "Regional Histo- 
ries" in the History, which describes the devel- 
opment of mineralogy in individual countries. 
While gathering information for the History, an 
ever increasing number of additional titles are 
necessarily being added to the Biobibliography. 
Happily however, there is finally an end in sight 
to the project. It was not possible to create the 
History without having first compiled the Bio- 
bibliography, and now that it is being written, 
work on both books is steadily drawing to a 
point where the text to both can be given a 
final edit, and be made ready for actual publi- 
cation as physical books. However, in advance 
of that future date, these files are being placed 
on the internet so that researchers and scholars 
may reference them. 

For this project, the TgX program devel- 
oped by Donald Knuth professor emeritus of 
Stanford University has been used to format 



the database text and elegantly typeset the vol- 
umes directly into the user friendly file format 
of PDF (Postscript Document Format) devel- 
oped by Adobe Software. The PDF file format 
has man}' advantages, especially since these 
files can be viewed and printed through the 
Adobe Reader software, which is readily avail- 
able. By this method it is possible to distribute 
electronic versions of the Biobibliography and 
History at a very cheap cost. Paper versions of 
the files can also be created by those individuals 
who prefer physical copy in their hands. Sev- 
eral paths are available to accomplish this goal. 
First download the files to your local computer 
and use either a home computer with a printer 
to output the over 2,000 pages or take the files 
to the local copy bureau and have them print 
the works double-sided and bound into three 
volumes. 

The text of the Biobibliography and His- 
tory are of course subject to change (sometimes 
radical) in the future. In particular, reference 
numbers for the individual titles listed in the 
Biobibliography unfortunately change because 
additions and deletions to entries in the source 
database cause these numbers to increase or de- 
crease, respectively. The files placed on the in- 
ternet were created in January 2007 in antici- 
pation of the forthcoming 53st Annual Tucson 
Gem & Mineral Society Show to be held in Tuc- 
son, Arizona on February 8-11, 2007. 

Since this is a work in progress, comments 
and suggestions about the content, format or 
missing entries are welcome by the compiler. 
The intention is to bring the work to comple- 
tion with in the the next few years, so that it 
can finally be printed as actual physical books.

Preface 



Few people today would claim mineralogy as 
a science balanced on the edge of significant 
discovery, but that was not the case in the 
past. Then, mineralog}' and its companion 
study crystallography were important sciences 
with each new discovery being widely publi- 
cized and debated. Many researchers, some of 
whom may be counted among the greatest ge- 
niuses of the human race, contemplated, inves- 
tigated and wrote about minerals and crystals. 
Mineralogy S¿ Crystallography: A Biohibliog- 
raphy, attempts in some measure to spotlight 
these people, their discoveries and their books. 
It covers the period from the invention of me- 
chanical printing through the first two decades 
of the twentieth century, and lists thousands of 
book titles in a variety of languages, many of 
which are described in bibliographic detail for 
the first time. 

It is a reference intended for collectors, 
booksellers, librarians and historians of science, 
who have an interest in the development of 
mineral studies. Consequently, biographical 
sketches of all writers notable in the sciences 
of mineralog}' and crystallography are included 
together with many names that have long since 
been forgotten by the march of time. It is lim- 
ited in scope to researchers active in Europe, 
Russia and the Americas, from the beginning of 
time until 1920, and is a true biobibliography 
containing concise biographical notes and copi- 
ous reference lists about the authors together 
with annotated bibliographies of their miner- 
alogical and crystallographic books. Effort has 
been made to include as many biographical ref- 
erences as possible since many of the names 
listed are obscure and it is hoped that this 
ready reference will stimulate further research. 
Complementing each biography is a bibliogra- 
phy of the individual's independent books rele- 
vant to mineralogy and crystallography. Some- 
times there is a single entry, in other instances 
many titles are listed. All issues, editions, 



translations and abridgments that have been 
uncovered are recorded in the bibliography. If 
a copy of the book listed has been physically ex- 
amined, it is described in full bibliographic de- 
tail, with complete pagination, collation, plate 
descriptions and a moderately detailed page by 
page recitation of contents. Otherwise as much 
information as could be located about the book 
is presented. This includes commentary related 
to the books importance in the development of 
the science, notices of reviews and other refer- 
ences listing the title. 

Two prime tests of the value of a bibliog- 
raphy are its accuracy and completeness. As 
to the first, no reference work consulted is en- 
tirely free from error, and it is a certainty that 
a careful reader will find mistakes in this vol- 
ume. Hopefully, they are not numerous, and 
the compiler bears sole responsibility for them. 
Every bibliographer knows that reference works 
do not always agree about the facts of a sub- 
ject's life, but that some sources are more re- 
liable about the facts than others. In general, 
prominent researchers gain a place in important 
works such as Dictionary of Scientiñc Biogra- 
phy, in a major national biography (e.g. Dic- 
tionary of American Biography, Neue Deutsche 
Biographie), or in the biographical memoirs of 
learned society, and the information provided 
by these sources is usually reliable. Many con- 
tributors to the development of mineralogy and 
crystallography were not included in such refer- 
ence works, however, and the confidence in the 
accuracy of the biographical data that has been 
traced is only as good as the citation(s) uncov- 
ered. For this reason, especially for less well- 
known researchers, multiple biographical cita- 
tions (when available) are provided. 

This work is intended to fit into a position 
that has never before been filled. It gives in one 
convenient work the digested contents of thou- 
sands of references with respect to their cover- 
age of the sciences of mineralogy and crystal-

A work of this scope could not be completed 
without the invaluable cooperation of a large 
number of people and access to many private 
and public libraries. It has been a privilege to 
meet and work with the many individuals who 
because of a shared interest in the history of 
mineralogy, have freely given of their knowledge 
in the field and helped to make the descriptions 
in this work better than the}' otherwise would 
have been. 

A chance to write the sale catalog of the 
Frederick H. Pough library in 1982 provided 
descriptions of many rare mineralogies, espe- 
cially those containing hand-colored illustra- 
tions. Early in the project H. Stanton Hill 
supplied a duplicate set of photocopies of title 
pages to books he owned at the time. In addi- 
tion, some of those contacted during the course 
of research very kindly invited me into their 
homes and allowed me unfettered access to 
their remarkable libraries. These include Alix 
and Russell Filer, Richard Bideaux, Jeanne and 
William "Bill" Larson, Adriana and Renato 
Pagano, Elna and Richard Hauck, and Joseph 
Freilich. Extended visits to the three outstand- 
ing mineralogical libraries of The Mineralogical 
Record courtes}' of Wendell Wilson, Dona and 
Wayne Leicht and Monika and Herbert Obodda 
made it possible to fully describe thousands of 
rare and otherwise unavailable works. The re- 
cent work of Google in scanning the books of 
several important libraries in to their Google- 
Book project (http://www.books.google.com/) 
has allowed for the inclusion of hundreds of ad- 
ditional descriptions. A similar on-line effort by 
Microsoft in digitizing volumes from the British 
Library will in the future perhaps allow for even 
more volumes to be described. 

Linda Winograd and Hugh Saunders 
helped secure photocopies of title pages of rare 
items from The United States Geological Li- 
brary, Reston, Virginia, and The British Li- 
brary, London, England, respectively, which al- 



lowed for their transcriptions to be included. 
Other collectors who have provided facsimile 
title pages and descriptions of their books in- 
clude Petr Sztacho, Ann and Si Fraizer, Mary 
Murphy, Eric Asselborn, Gilbert Gautier, John 
Sinkankas, Lawrence Conklin, and Auréle La 
Rocque. Unexpectedly, Johan Kjellman of the 
Department of Earth Sciences, Upsala Univer- 
sity, Stockholm, Sweden, having heard of this 
project spent a tremendous amount of time and 
supplied an outstanding number of fully de- 
scribed entries dealing with Swedish mineral- 
ogy and crystallography. Each of his contribu- 
tions in the biobibliography is happily signed 
with his name. 

A number of booksellers and auction 
houses have generously answered queries and 
supplied information about books they have 
held in inventory. These include Antiquri- 
aat Junk, Wheldon & Wesley, Ltd., Bernard 
Quaritch, Ltd., Zeitlin & Ver Brugge, H.P. 
Kraus, Jeremy Norman, Jack Garvin, Frank 
Chambers, Antiquariaat Theo de Boer, W.P. 
Watson Antiquarian Books (Rick Watson), A. 
Asher & Co. B.V. (Julius Steiner), Swann Gal- 
leries, Rock of Ages (Linda and John Stim- 
son), The Gemmary (Faye and Rick Blanken- 
horn), Merk's Jade (Roger Merk), Sotheby's, 
Christie's, Henry Sotheran, Ltd., Reiss & Sohn, 
and F. Zisska & R. Kistner. Special atten- 
tion must be given to the booksellers Jonathan 
Hill, New York City, New York, Antiquar- 
iat Andreas Müller, Waldems-Reichenbachand, 
Germany, and Mary and Ed Rogers, Poncho 
Springs, Colorado, who have at every oppor- 
tunity supported this project. Additionally, 
the dealer catalogs of all these firms and many, 
many other booksellers of past years have pro- 
vided citations to obscure references, as well 
as other bibliographical details of mineralogi- 
cal and crystallographical books. 

Financial assistance in the form of a grant 
and several gifts helped defer travel and inci-

dental expenses in conducting the research for 
this book. In 1996, the Geo- Literary Society 
showed its support for the Biobibliography by 
providing a grant. In addition, monetary gifts 
were received from several individuals who wish 
to remain anonymous. I hope that the finished 
project is worth}' of their early support. 

Over the decades this project has pro- 
gressed, numerous librarians have taken an in- 
terest in the project and have arranged for title 
page reproductions and addressed other biobib- 
liographical matters. It is impossible to men- 
tion them all because many remain nameless 
through the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) process. 
However, several librarians have consistently 
given help when it was requested, and spe- 
cial thanks are given to Dona Diriam of The 
Richard T. Liddicoat Library, Gemological In- 
stitute of America and Leslie Overstreet of The 
Smithsonian Libraries. 

Visits to personally examine the holdings 
of several institutional libraries have also added 
detailed information to the biobibliography.

Introduction 



This work, Mineralogy S¿ Crystallography: 
a Biobibliography, describes the lives and 
books of many researchers that are important 
to the development of these two sciences. 
It includes information on works published 
through December, 1919. This terminal 
date was chosen because of its particular 
significance in the development of the sciences 
with regard to the spreading use of X-ray 
diffraction techniques after World War I and 
the disinterest of the compiler in nearly all 
mineralogical books published after this date. 
The works listed therefore, were first issued 
between the earliest item described, Pliny's 
Historia Naturalis (1st ed., Venice, 1469), and 
December 31, 1919 — a span of 450 years. 
Modern reprints of older titles first issued 
during this period are also listed. In a few 
instances the compiler has an appreciation for 
a work first published after the terminal date, 
and its description has been included for his 
own amusement. 



Headings of Entries 

This is essentially an author catalog with bi- 
ographical commentary and references head- 
ing an annotated bibliography of the au- 
thors minéralogie and crystallographic books. 
The cataloging procedure followed is based on 
that of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules 
(AACR2)i 1 ] with minor modifications referred 
to below. 

Personal names. The principle of using for 
the heading the most widely used form of 
the name has been followed, but (a) medieval 
names containing a forename are entered under 
the forename, e.g. Albertus Magnus, not 

"I M. Gorman and P.W. Winkler, Anglo-American 
cataloguing rules. Second edition. London, The Library 
Association, 1978. [i]-xvii, 1-620 p. 



Magnus, Albertus; (b) Latin or Greek forms if 
commonly used are preferred to the vernacular, 
e.g. Agrícola, Georgius, not Bauer, Georg; 
(с) Westernized forms are used for Arabic 
or other Oriental writers, e.g. Avicenna not 
Ibn Sïna, Abu 'Ali Al-Husayn Ibn 'Abdallah. 
Noblemen are entered under the title or family 
name, whichever is the better known. Contrary 
to Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules practice, 
names with umlauted vowels (ä, ë, ï, ö, ü and 
y) are retained with the umlauts and inserted 
into the sequence as though spelt as 'a', 'e', 
'i', 'o', 'u' and 'y'. For further information 
see Arrangement of Titles within this 
introduction. 

Anonymous and pseudonymous works. Where 
a book was published anonymously, but the 
authorship is known it is entered under the 
name of the author. Occasionally, if a 
pseudonym is better known, it is listed under 
the pseudonym. All works attributed to a 
single author, whether acknowledged or not, 
are entered under the same main heading, i.e. 
anonymous and pseudonymous works are not 
separated from those in which the author's 
true name appears, as they are in the British 
Library Catalogue (BLC in the reference 
list). Where authorship is indicated only by 
unidentified initials, the last initial excluding 
any abbreviated designation such as M.D. is 
used for the heading. Works for which the 
author is unknown are listed under the first 
substantive words of the title. 

Spurious works. Works falsely attributed to 
an author are arranged following the author's 
genuine works but under a separate heading 
consisting of the author's name preceded by the 
word 'Pseudo', e.g. pseudo Aristotle. This 
does not apply to writings which are generally 
included in the corpus of an author's work but 
are of doubtful authenticity. These works are 
arranged under the main heading but with a

Introduction 



distinctive subheading, e.g. Supposititious and 
Doubtful Works. 

Dissertations. The Anglo-American Code is 
followed in preference to the standard adopted 
in the British Library Catalogue, i.e. the main 
entry for a dissertation is entered under the 
name of the 'Praesesidium' rather than that 
of the 'Respondent.' Cross-references are then 
provided from the 'Respondent' to the main 
entry of the Praesesidium through the name 
index. 

Joint authors. The main entry for a work is 
entered under the senior author (usually listed 
first on the title page). Cross-references are 
then provided from all subsequent authors to 
this main entry. In a few cases when a work 
is known to be the result of a junior author's 
labor, the main entry is placed under the name 
of the junior author, and cross-references are 
provided from all other authors. For example, 
Brooke & Miller's An Elementary Introduction 
to Mineralogy (London, 1852) is listed under 
Miller's corpus based on information supplied 
by Brooke in the preface. A cross-reference to 
Miller is then supplied under Brooke's entry. 

Corporate and group headings. In addition 
to the usual corporate headings (e.g. George 
English & Co.), two special group headings 
are employed simply to bring together like 
material which would otherwise be difficult to 
trace in an author catalog, e.g. (a) Catalogs 
of Mineral Collections, a heading chosen for 
a class of items that effectively was the creation 
of the collector, who is usually not the author 
of the catalog. Cross-references are given to 
the full entry; (b) Journals and Periodicals, 
under which heading are listed the titles of 
all regularly published serials described in 
the bibliograplry, with cross-references to their 
main entry. 

Cross-references. Reference is made from 
alternative forms of the name to the one 
adopted for the main heading. Names with 
prefixes are normally entered according to the 
Anglo-American Code, unless an exception is 
made because some alternative form appears 
to be more widely accepted. Cross-reference 
from the part(s) of name not used for entr)^ 
is omitted, except where it can be used to 
clarifj' where in the sequence an author is 



entered. References from Arabic forms are 
kept to a minimum because (a) the Westernized 
form which was commonly used in Renaissance 
Europe is familiar to Oriental scholars, and 
others are more likely to seek the writings of 
these authors immediateby under the Western 
name; (b) the complexity of Arabic names 
makes cross-reference of little use unless it is 
done on a scale which is only practicable in 
a very large work such as that of the British 
Library Catalogue. Cross-references within the 
main body of the text have been keep to a 
minimum. However, the names of editors, 
translators, and others contributing in any form 
to a work, including printers and publishers 
may be found in the comprehensive name index 
provided at the end of the Biobibliography. 
For further information, see the section labeled 
Indexes below. 



Entry Description 

Biography 

The main entry consists of a name, either 
personal or corporate, or the first words of a 
work published anonymously. 

Personal Names. If the main entry consists of a 
persons name (most common), the full name of 
the individual is provided, as much as possible 
in agreement with the standard biographies 
available to the compiler (see References 
for a complete list). When discrepancies 
arose, national biographies pertinent to the 
individual's native-land took precedence for 
the correct spelling of the name. If the 
individual in question could not be located 
in any such biography (s), the spelling of 
the name as used b)^ The National Union 
Catalogue (NUC in the reference list) took 
precedence, followed in turn b}' Тле British 
Library Catalogue and then the Catalogue 
Général des Livres Imprimés de la Bibliothque 
Nationale (BLC and CBN respectively in 
the reference list). Cross-references from 
name variants were then established back 
to the main entry. The personal name is 
followed by the places and dates of birth 
and death enclosed in parentheses. The 
word Born precedes information indicating 
birth data, while the term Death precedes 
death data. The nationality and occupation(s)

Introduction 



of the individual is then provided. A 

condensed biographical portrait of the person is 
then given, emphasizing various mineralogical 
aspects of the life. Listed at the end 
are citations to published obituaries and 
biographies where further biographical detail 
may be found. For the more famous 

of the researchers, these lists are not 
necessarily exhaustive. For example, there 
is a tremendous body of seconday literature 
concerning Linneaus and the citations listed in 
his biography, although numerous, are by no 
means complete. Within the references, notice 
is also given of published portaits and other 
likenesses of the author and comprehensive 
bibliographies covering the individual that have 
come to the compiler's attention. 

Commercial Firms. If the main entr} r consists of 
the name of a commercial firm, the full name 
of the сотрапз' is given. This is followed by 
information giving details, as much as thejr are 
known, of the firms history and proprietors. 
At the end are listed references where further 
information may be researched. 

Museums. If the main entr}' consists of the 
name of a museum, the city and country where 
the museum is located is given, followed by the 
full name of the museum. This is followed by 
details, as much as they can be ascertained, of 
the history of the body, including the date of 
founding. At the end are listed citations where 
further information ma} r be researched. 

Societies and Organizations. If the main entry 
consists of the name of a society or other 
organized body, the city and country where the 
society was organized is given. This is followed 
by the full name of the society or organization. 
This is followed by details, as much as the)' can 
be ascertained, of the history and membership 
of the society. At the end are listed citations 
where further information та} г be researched. 

Anonymous Titles. If a work is listed that has 
an unknown author, the first substantive words 
of the title will be used to create its heading. 
No other information will be provided in the 
heading of the entry. 

Bibliography 

A listing of mineralogical and crystallographi- 
cal books authored by the subject follows the 



heading entry. The most important source for 
this section has of course been the close exam- 
ination of the books themselves. For this the 
resources of several private and public libraries 
have been invaluable (see Acknowledgements 
for a list). The next best source for entries have 
been photocopies of the title pages of the var- 
ious works, while the remainder of the entries 
were gathered from many general and special- 
ized bibliographies as well as the internet and 
a large selection of bookseller catalogs. 

Description of Bibliographical Entries 

The most complete bibliographic entries are 
those where a copy of the listed title 
has been carefully examined, while less 
complete descriptions occur for those works 
not actually examined. The design of 

the bibliography was derived after reviewing 
hundreds of bibliographies on a wide variety of 
subjects. In addition, a relatively recent book 
on bibliography design helped avoid several 
pitfalls.! 2 ] The format chosen to describe 

the individual titles is a combination of the 
ideas presented in the bibliographic manuals 
of Bowers,! 3 ! EsdaileM GaskellΠand 
McKerrow.t 6 ! The most complete form of an 
entry consists of the following features. 

Entry Number. Each title listed in the 
bibliography is given a unique number. These 
start at 1 and increment for each title listed 
through out the whole bibliography. 

Language(s) and Year(s). Publication language 
and year in which the title appeared. Other

Introduction 



editions and issues are usually listed as separate 
entries under the same author. 

Edition and Translation Note. Following the 
Language (s) and Year(s) and enclosed in square 
brackets is a short note indicating either 
edition or translation information about the 
forthcoming title. 

Title. The title as it was originally printed 
is given. If a cop}' of the title page 

has been examined it is represented in 
quasi-facsimile transcription as accurately as 
possible. Punctuation and accent marks have 
been reproduced as best as possible, as have 
special characters such as 1, 'Ц., Ъ, О, Г, 0, 
а, е, у, X, and ß. Spelling as it appears 
on the title page has been copied exactly. 
Vertical bars " I " indicate the end of a line 
within the title. Printed errors in the title are 
followed by a comment of the form [!]=mistake 
or [sic]=as written. Extraneous descriptions or 
comments relevant to the format of the title are 
enclosed in square brackets. Common examples 
include [short rule], [rule], [double rule], and 
[ornament] . 

Format. The pagination of the book(s) 
begins with reference to the predominant 
number of leaves in a single section. For 
example, 2°=folio, 4°=quarto, 8°=octavo, 
12°=duecimo, etc. The format is ended by a 
colon ":". 

Collation. In older books it was common for 
the printer to add some mark on the various 
folded section of a book to facilitate the 
gathering of the signatures in correct order so 
they could be bound up. These marks were 
usually a number or a letter or a combination 
thereof. In this bibliography the gatherings 
are listed after the format. Following standard 
bibliographic practice, the Greek character Pi 
p is used to indicate a book's preliminary 
unsigned leaves and the Greek character Chi 
с indicates unsigned leaves within the body 
of the book. However, in difference from 
common practice the collations presented do 
not attempt to account for all pages of a 
signiature. Rather the collations given account 
for pages in a book with printing on them. 

Leave Count. After the collation, the absolute 
count of leaves is given. This is useful 
in determining if the collation matches the 



pagination. For example, the collation provides 
a formulae of the leaf count, whose total if 
multiplied by 2 must equal the page count as 
given by the pagination. If they don't equate, a 
discrepancy exists in one or the other or both! 
For example, the collation p 2 a-c 8 d 3 says there 
are 2+8+8+8+3=29 leaves contained in the 
book, which means there should be 29x2=58 
pages. 

Pagination. A short hand description of the 
numbering that occurs on the pages is given. 
Items enclosed in square brackets are assumed 
and do not actually appear on the page. If 
appropriate, descriptive material noting the 
number of plates, maps, tables, etc. will end 
the pagination of each volume. 

Page Size. The size of the title page measured in 
millimeters is provided. Measurement is done 
first along the length of the page, then across 
the width. The length of the title is defined to 
be perpendicular to the reading direction of the 
text on the title page. 

Contents. Each book is unique in the method 
the author and/or publisher has elected to 
order the information. The contents provides 
a description of this arrangement. However, it 
is not meant to be an exhaustive page by page 
account of the books information. Rather this 
is an overview of the major sections contained 
within the volume (s), with the beginning and 
ending pages indicated or in some cases the 
beginning and ending leaves. Descriptions 
enclosed in quotes are derived directly from 
the first page indicated, while those not in 
quotes are the compilers interpretation of the 
intended content. Any comments included by 
the compiler are enclosed in square brackets. 

Plates, Tables and Maps. In some books 
where it is not possible to describe the 
illustrations depicted on the plates easily, a list 
of the individual or groups of plates will be 
provided. Maps and tables when the}' represent 
a substantial portion of the volume(s) will also 
be treated in a similar fashion. 

Rarity. An attempt is given to provide an idea 
of the relative rarity of the title listed. This is 
subjective information based on a wide range 
of characteristics, such as the book's language, 
date of publication, frequency of listings in 
bookseller catalogs, and the collective holding 



Mineralogy & Crystallography: A Biobibliography & History

NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 23, 2007 



Introduction 



in public and private United States, British, 
and European libraries, etc. Several categories 
are provided to distinguish rarity, i.e. Only 
copy known =only one copy traced, Extremely 
rare=2-5 copies traced, Very rare=6-12 
copies traced, Rare=13-22 copies traced, Very 
scarce=23-32 copies traced and ScARCE=more 
than 33 copies traced. 

Commentary. The commentary describes the 
importance (if any) of the title to the 
history and development of mineralogy or 
crystallography. Inclusion may be made of a 
contents summary, quotations from the work, 
translation of the title, publishing history, 
descriptions of notable illustrations, etc. 

Other Editions, Translations & Reprints. For 

books that went through man}' editions or 
were reprinted after 1919, this section will 
provide the pertinent information about the 
title. In addition, titles that have only minor 
mineralogical information, but had multiple 
editions or translations, will use this section to 
list other variations of the book. Usually, this 
consists of a short title, place of publication, 
year and pagination. Rarely, a full description 
with commentai'}' will be provided. 

References. If a particular title is important to 
the development of either science, other authors 
will most likely have written about the book, 
and its place in history. In addition, various 
library catalogs or bibliographies may include 
the title. Citations to these other writings will 
appear in this position. Reference to book 
reviews is also given here. If no reference to 
the described title has been found, References 
will not appear at the end of the commentary. 

Arrangement of Titles 

The headings in the Biobibliography are in a 
single alphabetical order and consist primarily 
of the names of the authors of the various 
works. Headings such as those used for 
anonymous works, periodicals, journals, official 
institutions, museums, mineral collectors, 
dealers, societies, or other national bodies are 
included in the same alphabetical sequence. 
Frequent use is made of cross references when 
a particular entry could be searched for under 
different headings. 



Roman Alphabets 

Names originally written in a Roman alphabet 
language retain all diacritical marks and special 
characters as they would if written in their 
native language. To simplify the location of 
a particular name, all accented characters fall 
into the same alphabetical sequence as if they 
were not accented. Thus á=a, ç=c, ê=e, í=i, 
ô=o, ò=o, ü=u, etc. Contrary to Anglo- 
American Cataloguing Rules practice, there is 
no exception to this rule for the umlauted 
vowels, ä, ë, ï, ö, ü and y. When one or 
more of these characters appears in a name, 
each occurrence of the vowel is treated in the 
alphabetical sequence as though it is a normal 
letter. Thus, ä=a, ë=e, ï=i, ö=o, ü=u and y=y. 
The old use of a superscripted "e" above 
a letter to indicate an umlauted vowel has 
been retrained in the title transcriptions. Thus 
for transcription to a modern convention, å=ä, 
ë=ë, o=ö, ú=ü and y=y.

Non- Roman Alphabets 

Names originally written in the Russian, Be- 
lorussian or Bulgarian languages and utiliz- 
ing the Cyrillic alphabet have been translit- 
erated to the roman alphabet. There are a 
number of tables available for the purpose of

transliteration, and the one chosen for the Bio- 
bibliography is also used by the Library of 
Congress for transliterating Russian with di- 
acritical marks.! 7 ! A representation of the 
transliteration table used within the Biobibli- 
ography is presented in Table 1. 

In addition, there are certain letter 
combinations, usually occurring at the end 
of a Russian word, that convert to specific 
sequences in English. For this purpose specific 
conversions were used (see Table 2).

Table 2 

Order under the Main Heading 

For individual works and collections (including 
analytical entries) the order is chronological by 
date of publication (entries of the same date 
being arranged alphabetically by title), but all 
versions of the same work or collection are 
grouped together. Such groups are arranged 
by language, the order of languages being 
chronological by date of publication of the 
earliest entry in each. Under each language 
the arrangement is (a) original editions, if 
more than one, in chronological order; (b) 
translations, if more than one, in chronological 
order; (c) editions of the same language in 
chronological order; (d) specific cross-references 
in alphabetical order. See Figure 1 for a 
diagram of the general scheme. 

Within entries, general cross-references are 
arranged in alphabetical order, but multiple 
references to a single heading main entry are 
condensed to a single cross-reference. In a 
few cases where a very substantial number of 
entries appear under a single heading, such as 
under Pliny, titles are grouped in a special 
way, usually according to the order adopted in 
the standard editions of the complete works of 

l ' J.T. Shaw, The transliteration of modern Russian 
for English language publications. Madison, Univ. of 
Wisconsin Press, 1967. 



the author. A summary of the arrangement 
will be found at the beginning of each of these 
groups. There are also a few cases where 
minor variations occur, these are indicated by 
subheadings within the body of the entry.

Indexes (not implemented) 

To facilitate the use of this Biobibliography, 
a series of comprehensive indexes has been 
provided at the end. In order to make 
maximum use of the index, when a citation 
refers to a bibliographic title entry, reference 
is back to the titles entry number in the 
list. In the case of references back to a main 
biographical entry, the page number, rather 
than an item number is used in the index. 
The page number is distinguished from an item 
numeral by the application of a bold font. The 
individual indexes are described below. 

Indexes of Towns and Printers. These list under 
each country the various places of publication 
and the names of the printers and publishers. 
It is hoped that these very extensive indexes 
will prove a useful contribution to the study of 



Mineralogy & Crystallography: A Biobibliography & History

NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 23, 2007 



printing and mineralogical publishing from the 
fifteenth to the early twentieth century. 

Index to Anonymous Works. When a work 
published anonymously can be attributed to 
a known author, it has been entered in that 
authors bibliography. However, a collector, 
bookseller or librarian, actually examining 
the work may not know the actual author. 
Therefore this index of short titles with 
references to the main entry is provided to 
facilitate their lookup. 

Name Index. This is a comprehensive index 
to all names mentioned throughout the body 
of the Biobibliography. The names are 
listed in a single alphabetical sequence with 
cross-references from name variants included. 
Authors, translators, contributors, editors, 
printers, publishers, artists, engravers and 
other incidental names are listed in a single 
sequence, with reference to the page or entry 
where mention is made. 

Subject Index. This is an index to subjects 
mentioned throughout the body of the Biobib- 
liography.

Peder Abildgaard 

ABILDGAARD, Peder Christian. (Born: Copen- 
hagen, Denmark, 22 December 1740; DIED: Copen- 
hagen, Denmark, 11 January 1801) Danish physician 
& naturalist. 

Abildgaard was the son of S0ren [see next entry]. 
He was educated at the Veterinarian School in Lyon. He 
authored many works on medicine, zoology, etc., and gave 
in 1796 a description of the Megatherium at the same 
time as Georges Cuvier. Abildgaard was a secretary of 
the Academy of Sciences, Copenhagen, and he founded 
and directed the Veterinary School of Copenhagen. In 
mineralogy he was the first to examine and report on the 
mineral species Cryolite found in Greenland.

1. German, 1801 [First separate issue]. 

Ueber Norwegische Titanerze und eine neue 
Steinart (Kryolith) aus Grönland, welche aus 
Flusspathsaure und Alaunerde bestellt. Aus dem 
Dänischen übersetzt von Moritz Heinrich Mendel. 
Kopenhagen, 1801. 

8°: 10 p. 

VERY RARE. First separate appearance in German 
translation by Moritz Heinrich Mendel [see note below] 
of the article "Om Norske Titanertser och om en 



nye Steenart Kryolith fra Gr0nland, som bestaar 
af Flusspatsyre og Alunjord" (see: Videnska bernes 
Selskabs Skrifter (Danske), 3 (1800), 305-316). The 
text describes two mineral species: (1) sphene crystals 
found in Norway, and (2) the new mineral species 
cryolite found in Ivigtut, Greenland. Abildgaard was 
the first researcher to examine the mineral samples 
brought back from Greenland by Andrade and named 
the new species he discovered Kryolith or Iissteen (from 
the Greek KpDOO" meaning ice). Abildgaard performed 
chemical analysis of the minerals and found that cryolite 
contained aluminum and hydrofluoric acid. 

Moritz Heinrich Mendel. (BORN: Breslau, Germany, 
1777; DIED: Breslau, Germany, 3 December 1813) German 
physician. Mendel received his medical degree in 1811, and 
he was named professor of the new University in Breslau. 
He became director of the cities medical clinic and was 
named an advisor on medical subjects. However, his life 
was cut short when while fighting an outbreak of typhus, 
he contracted the disease.

VERY SCARCE. A visit to the chert and fossil 
bearing chalk beds of Stevn Klint situated south of 
Copenhagen along Denmark's Baltic coast prompted 
Abildgaard to write in 1759 the first geological account 
of this interesting formation. Dedicating the book 
to King Frederick the Fifth, a description of the 
area is provided, including mineralogical and chemical 



observations on the chert nodules, fossil shells and the 
surrounding material. Abildgaard speculates that the 
chert is actually petrified soil. At the end of the volume 
are bound three plates engraved from the author's 
original drawings that show panoramas of the beds and 
on plate 3, various fossil shells found in the strata. 
Abildgaard also indicates he plans to write another 
book describing a similar formation in M0ns, which 
was published as Physisk-A'íineraiogiskBeskriveíseover 
Moens Klint (K0penhagen, 1781) [which see entry 
below]. 

Modern geochemical research on specimens from 
Stevn Klint, a famous and classic formation, show that 
at the Cretaceous- Tertiary boundary, there is a high 
saturation of iridium and gold. This together with 
the presence of meteoric proportions of other metals 
provides further evidence of an asteroidial impact in 
the earth's distant past.

In 1793, Accurn moved to London, where in 1800, he 
established a laboratory and laboratory supply business. 
He became the scientific lecturer at the Surrey Institute in 
1803, and was hired as an advocate for the use of gas in 
lighting. Through this connection, he became a "practical 
chemist" for the London Gaslight Company in 1812. A 
position as librarian for the Royal Institution proved to be

a disaster when his enemies accused him of damaging the 
books. This made Accum an outcast in London scientific 
circles, and as a result he had to reestablish himself in 
Berlin in 1822. From 1822 to 1838 he was a professor at 
the Gewerbe-Institute in Berlin. Accurn held membership 
in the Royal Irish Academy, the Linnean Society of London 
and the Royal Academy of Sciences, Berlin.

SCARCE. This is a popular-style textbook 

describing the techniques used in the chemical 
determination of minerals. The preface gives the 
impression that the book was available only to pupils 
attending Accum's lectures, including the Americans 
Benjamin Silliman and William Peck; however, it 
appears to be common for this to be true. After a 
short description of the apparatus and general technique 
of mineral analysis, the first part of the book briefly 
describes the methods for analyzing the ores of twenty- 
two metals. The second part of the treatise is devoted to 
the analysis of the so-called earths, which in reality are 
natural oxide compounds of silica, aluminum, calcium, 
magnesium, strontium, barium, etc. This section also 
contains an interesting chemical examination of various 
soils. Part three discusses the analysis of mineral salts 
and the fourth part the examination of inflammable 
fossils or coal.

SCARCE. This greatly enlarged book is a second 
edition of A Practical Essay on the Analysis of Minerals 
(London, 1804). Written in the author's eloquent and 
comfortable style, this work appeared in an era when 
mineralogical pursuits were a popular pastime throughout 
the British Isles, and this book no doubt helped cultivate 
that popularity. 

The book begins with a dedication to RICHARD 
KlRWAN the great Irish mineralogist who by 1808 had 
probably ceased any activity in mineralogy. The preface 
then describes Accum's surprise at having the first edition 
sell out in 18 months. This of course spurred the 
preparation of this new edition. It has been completely 
rewritten and greatly enlarged by the inclusion of long 
quotations from MARTIN HEINRICH Klaproth's Analytical 
Essays (English trans., London, 1801-4) and the writings of 
other mineralogists and chemists. In fact, fully half of the 
text of the present volumes are the product of other authors 
that are liberally quoted to illustrate principles developed 
by Accum. 

The book is arranged along the lines of the 
former edition. It contains concise descriptions for 

the analysis of metallic ores, earths, stones and other 
minerals. Numerous detailed instructions help guide 
beginners through mineralogical analysis. The following 
text is divided into six parts. The first provides a 
general introduction to mineralogy, including definitions, 
descriptions of mineral substances, reagents and necessary 
equipment. Broad views of the mineralogical classifications 
of Werner and Haüy are then given. Included are table 
representations based upon two broadsides outlining these 
classifications methods that had been published about 
1805. Accum's use of these earlier publications perhaps 
point to him as their anonymous author. Part two describes 
the tests and procedures necessary for analyzing minerals 
for any of the 25 metals then known. Part three, which 
opens volume two, describes the analysis of earths and 
stones. Part four describes the process for analyzing 
mineral and native salts. Part five describes the same for 
inflammable fossils, while part six covers mineral waters. 
The work concludes with a description of the two plates.

Scarce. The first independent textbook 

published in English to describe the crystallographic 
theories of RENÉ Just HaÜY. The work is dedicated to 
Earl Percy, Count Münster Meinhovel, Sir John Borlase 
Warren and Sir John Saunders Sebright who were 
among the students Accum taught. The text describes 
in detail Haüy's ideas on crystallography. In 1784, 
Haüy had first published his ideas in the Essai d'une 
Théorie sur la. Structure des Crystaux (Paris, 1784). 
In this work, Haüy brought together the advances 
in crystallography made by Rome de l'Isle, Bergman 
and others into a coherent structural theory, based 
upon the idea of a microscopic "molecule integrante." 
This polyhedral unit contained all the elements of the 
macro crystal, and Haüy's model depicted crystals as 
built up out of these molecular units. Haüy also 
theorized a common "nucleus" or "primitive form" 
for all crystals of the same mineral species. This 
primitive form was thought to be revealed by cleavage 
of a crystal symmetrically along its angles and edges. 
Haüy's theory of crystal structure changed little in 
its essentials during the remainder of his career, and 
it is that theory that Accum describes in this work. 
The text is illustrated with diagrams and four plates 
which help describe principles outlined in the text. 
Ever the businessman, Accum also includes at the end 
an interesting sales catalog describing a wide variety 
of mineralogical apparatus, including various crystal 
models that Accum stocked in his Soho shop.

ACHARD 

ACHARD, Franz Carl. (BORN: Berlin, Germany, 
28 April 1753; DIED: Kunern near Breslau, Silesia, 
Germany, 20 April 1821) German chemist. 

Achard was hired as an aide to Andreas Sigismund 
Marggraf [1709-1782] at the Academy of Sciences, Berlin 
in 1776. After showing his merit as a chemist, he 
was appointed director of the "Class of Physics" at 
the Academy in 1782. Achard developed a comrnerical 
process to extract sugar from beets, and his essays on the 
process greatly contributed to promote the manufacturer 
throughout Europe especially Germany and France. He 
held membership in many learned bodies, including the 
Royal Academy of Sciences at Berlin to which he was 
elected in 1776.

Bestimmung | der | Bestandtheile | einiger |

| Berlin, | bey Arnold Wever 1779. 

8°: A-H 8 ; 64f.; [1]-128 p., 2 folding plates 
(chemical apparatus). Page SIZE: 200 x 122 mm. 

VERY SCARCE. Among the earliest systematic 
attempts at analyzing gemstones was Bestimmung der 
Bestandtheile einiger Edelsteine. Sinkankas (1981) 
notes that Achard performed essentially the same kind 
of analysis as Bergman described the next year, and 
for which Bergman has been given all credit; however, 
Achard was not the careful technician Bergman was 
and his results were badly contaminated. In this 
work, Achard records his analyses of sapphire, ruby, 
zircon, emerald, garnet, and Chrysoprase determined 
the presence of silicon, calcium, magnesium, and iron 
in his specimens, but as in the case of zircon where 
the zirconium was completely overlooked, many of the 
analyses are wrong (Partington). This carelessness was 
due in most part to the analyses being conducted in 
an iron crucible, which undoubtedly contaminated the 
results, as well as the lack of experimental technique 
of the author. Another paper, continuing Achard's 
research, was published as "Chemische Untersuchungen 
der Edelsteine" (see: Abhandlungen des Aíünchen 
Akademie, 1800, 219-350).

SCARCE. This major topographical work covers 
the important mining region of the Siebenburgen 
located in present day Romania. In the first part of 
the forward, Ackner outlines his goals and reasons for 
writing this book. He notes that no previous work 
had sufficiently described the mineralogical wonders 
of the area. He qualifies this view by providing a 
list of earlier titles, and outlining the comprehensive 
treatment he plans. Ackner began work in 1844, which 
is the first date of the forward. In the "Nachschrift" 
that immediately follows, he recounts how the first Heft 
of this book was published in 1847, and that it was 
only after eight years of thorough research that the 
volume was completed in 1855. The text is a descriptive 
mineralogy in the arrangement of C.S. WEISS' system 
of classification. Each species found in the region 
is provided a description giving copious notes about 
localities, associations, crystallography, and chemistry.

History 



Acosta 




Acosta 



1587 he was stationed in the West Indies and Provinzial in 
Peru. He learned enough of both the Aymara and Quechua 
languages to write a trilingual catechism in 1583. When he 
returned to Europe, he was for a time assigned a post in 
Rome, but finally returned to Spain as a rector at the Jesuit 
college of Salamanca. For his writings which provided 
detailed images of the physical and human geography of 
Latin America, Acosta has been called the "Pliny of the 
New World."

RARE. Acosta's most important scientific work, 
Historia natural y moral de las Indias contains firsthand 
observations on many diverse phenomena witnessed by 
Acosta in the New World. Included are some of the 
earliest descriptions of altitude sickness, the nature and 
use of coca, farm techniques, crops, and domesticated 
animals of America. Also included are descriptions 
of Inca and Aztec history, religious observations, folk 
customs, and statecraft. Acosta includes detail about 
Mexican ideograms and Peruvian quipu and the Inca 
postal system. 

The text consists of 7 books of which the first 
two are a Spanish translation of De Natvra Nova 
Orbis Libri Dvo (1st ed., Salmanticae, 1589) which 
was written during Acosta's stay in Perú, while the 
remainder of the work was written after he returned 
to Spain. Book 1 in 25 chapters discusses the sky, 
the stars, the Poles, knowledge of the ancient world 
of the New World, the land of Ophir, prophecies, the

RARE. This book is a classified catalog of the 
splendid mineral collection of Adam, arranged in a 
tabular manner with respect to physical properties 
and chemical compositions. The headings for each 
table give the name, crystal type, hardness, density, 
fusibility, solubility, composition and formula. An index 
facilitates the lookup of specific species. The work 
ends with a list of references consulted. Originally 
the text was published in Annales des Mines (see: 15, 
1869, 405-626). However, to create the book, the text 
was corrected, additional information added and the 
format changed so that the individual tables occupy a 
single page rather than being divided at the center as 
occured in the original article. That Adam carefully 
examined his specimens is clearly demonstrated by 
his discovery and description in this book of the 
still recognized mineral species: aerugite, chenevixite, 
corkite, cuprotungstite, scacchite, and xanthiosite.

F.D. Adams 



ADAMS, Frank Dawson. (Born: Montreal, Quebec, 
Canada, 17 September 1859; DIED: Montreal, Quebec, 
Canada, 29 December 1942) Canadian geologist. 

Adams was educated at McGill University, receiving 
his M.A. in 1884 and a Ph.D. in 1902, and at the University 
of Heidelberg recieving a Ph.D. in 1892. After serving some 
time on the staff of the Canadian Geological Survey, Adams 
was appointed lecturer in geology at McGill University, 
and in 1893 professor of geology. In 1908 he took on the 
position of dean of the faculty of applied science at the 
University and for a time the role of vice principal and 
as acting principal were also his. Adams was elected a 
Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1896 and of the 
Royal Society of London in 1907. He was president of 
the International Geological Society in 1913, and of the 
Geological Society of America in 1918. Adams was the 
author of many papers dealing with the igneous rocks of 
North America and the effects of temperature and pressure 
on those rocks. Towards the end of his life, he also wrote 
A History of Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal (Montreal, 
1941).

SCARCE. This famous text traces the history of 
the geological sciences from Greek and Roman times, 
through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and up to 
the mid- 19th century of the modern era. It is not a 
dry recitation of obsolete ideas but a truly fascinating 
account of how dozens of curious, colorful systems 
evolved into modern geology, and its subfields. 

In his treatment of the subject, Adams discusses 
the work of over 300 different authorities, analyzing 
in detail the ideas of such researchers as William 
Smith, Agricola, Geikie, Hutton, Werner, Aristotle, 
Becher, Cuvier, Kircher, and many others. He recounts 
the birth of modern mineralogy, paleontology and

AEPINUS (Hoch), Franz Ulrich Theodosius. (Born: 
Rostock, Germany, 13 December 1724; DIED: Dorpat, 
Russia [now Tartu, Estonia], 10 August 1802) German 
mathematician & physicist. 

Aepinus studied medicine and mathematics at Jena 
and Rostock, where he took his M.A. in 1747, with his 
dissertation on the paths of falling bodies. In 1757, he 
settled in St. Petersburg, where he had become a member 
of the Academy of Sciences in 1755, as well as a professor 
of physics. He possessed great skill as an experimenter, 
which he applied to discovering and testing the electrical 
properities of tourmaline. He was particularly struck by 
the similarity between the magnet and the tourmaline 
with regard to polarity. He authored, Tentamen Theorise 



Electritaitis et Magnetismi (1759), "one of the most original 
and important books in the history of electricity. It is the 
first reasoned, fruitful exposition of electrical phenomena 
based on action-at-a-distance" (DSB).

(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of 
London, 51, 1759) and Duke de Noya Carafa's "Lettre 
du Duc de Noya Caraffa à M. de Buffon" (1759) both 
dealing with the properties of tourmaline are reprinted 
with commentary by Aepinus. 

Having been inspired by the electrical theories 
of Benjamin Franklin, Aepinus began experimenting 
with electricity. Eventually, he turned his attention 
to the tourmaline stone which was thought to produce 
a positive and negative electrical charge when heated. 
Upon experimenting with a large stone, Aepinus proved 
to his satisfaction the mineral did create electricity 
when sufficiently heated. He became entranced with 
this pheonemon which he compared to the dipolar 
behavior of magnets.

Agassiz 



AGASSIZ, Jean Louis Rodolphe. (Born: Motier-en- 
Vuly, Fribourg, Switzerland, 28 May 1807; DIED: Cam- 
bridge, Massacheusetts, U.S.A., 14 December 1873) 
Swiss/American physician, zoologist & geologist. 

Agassiz was educated in France, Switzerland and 
Germany, receiving an M.D. from the University of 
Heidelberg in 1826 and a Ph.D. from the University of 
Erlangen in 1829. He conducted zoological research under 
GEORGES Cuvier and became professor of natural history 
at the University Neuchatel, Switzerland (1832-46). In 
1846, he came to America teaching at Yale and Harvard. 
Agassiz became an American citizen in 1862, and settled 
in Cambridge as a professor of zoology at Harvard. He was 
a founding member of the National Academy of Sciences. 
As a professor he trained many outstanding zoologists and 
geologists of the next generation.

SCARCE. This important early bibliography lists 
all the titles known to the author and editors pertaining 
to zoology and geology from the earliest times to almost 
the time of publication. The text is in two parts. The 
first part (vol. 1, pp. 1-86) lists periodicals and other 
sources consulted, while the second is the bibliography 
proper, arranged alphabetically by author. The entries 
are abbreviated, with little detail, as is expected in a 
work of this scope. However, it is a valuable source for 
information on early works.

AGRÍCOLA, Georgius. (BORN: Glauchau, Saxony, 
Germany, 24 March 1494; DIED: Chemnitz, Saxony, 




Agrícola 

Germany, 21 November 1555) German physician, 
mineralogist & mining expert. 

From 1518 to 1522, Agrícola studied medicine and 
chemistry at Bologna, Venice and Padua. He then taught 
the classics at the Municipal School, Zwickau, Saxony. In 
1527, he moved to Joachimsthal, Czechoslovakia, where he 
opened a medical practice. In this locality, with the mining 
activities of the surrounding area impacting his daily life, 
Agrícola began to study mining techniques and mineralogy. 
After an appointment in 1533 as official historian for the 
principality of Saxony, which included an annual stipend, 
Agrícola moved again. He relocated his medical practice to 
Chemnitz in Saxony. There he became a civic leader which 
lead to his being elected mayor of the town in 1546, 1547, 
1551, and 1553. Agrícola was one of the extraoridinary 
scientists of his age. His texts on medical diseases suffered 
by miners were innovative for the time, and for his works 
that dealt with mining and mineralogy, he was labeled "The 
father of mineralogy" by no less than ABRAHAM GOTTLOB 
Werner.

VERY RARE. Bermannus, sive De Re Metallica. 
Dialogue is Agricola's first published work in relation 
to mining. The text of this work is in the form of a 
dialogue between "Bermannus," who is described as a 
miner, mineralogist, poet, and student of mathematics, 
and "Nicolaus Ancón" and "Johannes Neavius," both 
scholars and physicians. The main theme of the 
dialogue is the correlation of minerals mentioned by the 
ancient authors and those found in the Saxon mines. 
The three conversationalists wonder through the mines 
and discuss matters that come to their attention. There 
is no systematic or logical arrangement to the text, 
therefore. Occassionally, statements of historical or 
technical interest are included. The mineralogial part, 
while of importance for giving the first description of 
several minerals such as bismuth, is much improved in 
De Natura. Fossilium (1st ed., Basileae, 1546).

VERY SCARCE. This is a collected edition of 
Agricola's works on mineralogy, geology and mining. It 
consists of six separate treatises, several of which appear 
in print for the first time. 

[A]. De Ortu & Causis Subterraneorum in five 
books has always been published in the company of 
other works. This is Its first appearance. The 
work consists of five books that contain Agricola's 
philosophical views on geological phenomena. The 
major portion of this text is a refutation of the 
geological ideas of the ancient philosophers, the 
alchemists and the astrologers. It displays Agricola's 
wide ranging knowledge of the classic authors and his 
ability in observation and dialectics. But it is when 
Agricola presents his own ideas that new territory was 
established in science. 

Book I is devoted to a discussion of the origin 
and distribution of ground water and mineralizing 
jucies. The last portion of this book and that of Book 
II consider the origin of subterranean heat that he 



attributes to burning coal and sulfur and the friction 
subterranean winds against the walls of caves. Book III 
is devoted to the origin of ore channels, while Books IV 
&£ V describe in summary the principal divisions of the 
mineral kingdom as given in De Natura Fossilium. 

[В]. De Natura Eorum quee Effiuunt ex Terra in 
four books also appears here here for the first time. As 
the title indicates this is a discussion of substances that 
flow from the earth, such as water, bitumen, gases, etc. 
The major portion refers to color, taste, temperature, 
medicinal uses of water, and descriptions of rivers, lakes, 
swamps, and aqueducts. In the shadow of Agricola's 
other writings, it is a valueless and totally uninteresting 
treatise. 

[C]. De Natura Fossilium in ten books is Agricola's 
most important statement on mineralogy. It has always 
been printed in combination with other works, and this 
is its first edition. 

De Natura Fossilium is an epoch work often 
cited as the publication that marked the beginning 
of mineralogy as a science. In this work, Agricola 
approached the study of mineral substances in a 
naturalistic way. He rejected many myths associated 
with gems, and the system of classification that 
is inferred from his writings exhibits a degree of 
generalization not found in earlier handbooks. It 
is often considered the first attempt at systematic 
mineralogy, the minerals being grouped into (1) earths, 
like clay, ochre, etc., (2) stones like gems, semi— precious 
and unusual as distinguished from rocks, (3) congealed 
juices like salt, vitriol, alum, etc., (4) metals and 
(5) compounds being homogenous mixtures of simple 
substances and forming minerals like pyrite, galena, etc. 
Agricola applied physical properties such as solubility, 
fusibility, odor, taste, color, etc to distinguish between 
mineral varieties. He describes several varieties of earth, 
and arranged the descriptions according to the purpose 
for which they were used. Thus he speaks of earths 
used by farmers as different from those used by potters, 
sculptors, painters and physicians. This demonstrates 
that he had an awareness of problems connected with 
the classifying of similar substances. Agricola was 
a practical man and his great contribution was to 
mineral description. He codified much of the ancient 
knowledge, but in the case of theoretical mineralogy 
developed no new insights. References in contemporary 
books show that soon after Agricola mineralogical works 
were published, they were being cited as author atative 
sources. 

Book I describes the characteristics of minerals 
such as color, brillance, taste, shape, hardness, etc. 
Book II describes the earths and Book III reviews the 
minerals made of congealed juices, and includes salt, 
soda, potash, saltpetre, alurn, vitriol, orpiment, etc. 
Book IV treats camphor, bitumen, coal, amber, etc. 
Book V covers lodestone, bloodstone, gypsum, talc, 
asbestos, mica, géodes and various fossils, flourite and 
quartz. Book VI treats gems and other precious stones. 
Book VII in on rocks like marble, serpentine, onyx, 
alabaster, limestone, etc. Book VIII covers metals.

while Book IX describes various furnace observations 
such as making brass, gilding, tinning and furnace 
products like slag, copper flowers, etc. Book X covers 
compounds that embrace the description of a number of 
recognizable silver, copper, lead, quicksilver, iron, tin, 
antimony and zinc minerals. 

[D]. De Veteribus Sc Novis Metallis in two books is 
a short work that also appears here in a first edition. It 
describes mainly historical and geographical references 
to the occurances of metals and mines. Agricola had 
extracted this information from the Greek and Latin 
classic texts as well as the history of mines in Central 
Europe. The later material is the only original material, 
and is unfortunately not very extensive. 

[E]. Bermannus, sive De Re Metallica Dialogue in 
one book was Agricola's first published work in relation 
to mining, which was first published as an independent 
work at Basel in 1530. In this new edition, Agricola 
makes many important changes and adds some new 
material, but later editions often reprint the text of the 
1530 edition. The text of this work is in the form of 
a dialogue between "Bermannus," who is described as 
a miner, mineralogist and student of mathematics and 
poetry, and "Nicolaus Ancón" and "Johannes Neavius," 
both scholars and physicians. The main theme of the 
dialogue is the correlation of minerals mentioned by the 
ancient authors and those found in the Saxon mines. 
The three conversationalists wonder through the mines 
and discuss matters that come to their attention. There 
is no systematic or logical arrangement to the text, 
therefore. Occassionally, statements of historical or 
technical interest are included. The mineralogial part, 
while of importance for giving the first description of 
several minerals such as bismuth, is much improved in 
De Natura. Fossilium. 

[F]. Interpretatio Germanica uocum rei Metallicas 
is a translation list of German equivalents for the Latin 
mineralogical terms used by Agricola in his numerous 
writing. It first appeared in the collected edition of 
1546, being included in all subsequent editions. It 
consists of about 500 mineralogical and metallurgical 
terms in Latin, many of which were invented by Agricola 
to clarify his explanations. This work is of great value 
to the study of mineralogical nomenclature.

lator's describe Agricola's method of classifying minerals. 
This is then followed by the translation proper. Notes scat- 
tered throughout the text are intended to primarily help 
the identification of minerals whose present names differ 
from those used by Agricola. Occasionally, extracts from 
Agricola's Bermannus (Basileas, 1530), an introductory 
work on mining, have been included to add clarity to the 
translation.

Mark Chance Bandy. (BORN: Redfield, Iowa, U.S.A., 
22 July 1900; DIED: Wickenburg, Arizona, U.S.A., 3 June 
1963) American mining engineer & geologist. Bandy was 
educated in mining engineering and geology at Drake 
University (B.S., 1922), Columbia University (M.A., 1923), 
and Harvard (Ph.D., 1938). He worked as an engineer 
with Bethlehem Steel (1927-8), the Chile Exploration Co., 
(1929-34), and the Patino Mines (1936-47). He became 
an engineer, chief geologist, and general manager with 
ECA-Mining Engineers (1949-51) and general manager of 
the Rhodesia Copper Ventures (1952-4). He lecturer at 
St. Andrews University, Scotland in 1954-5. He was a 
Fellow in the Society of Economic Geologists and a member 
American Mineralogical Society, as well as an honorary 
member of the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain. The 
mineral "Bandylite" was named in his honor in 1935. His 
large and fine mineral collection accumulated through his 
many travels was acquired in 1963 by the Natural History 
Museum of Los Angeles County, where it is preserved today.

VERY SCARCE. This is the second edition of Agricola's 
collected works on mineralogy, geology and mining, and it 
is best edition being the last to be corrected and revised 
by the author. It consists of six separate treatises that had 
each appeared previously. 

[A]. De Ortu &c Causis Subterraneorum in five books 
has always been published in the company of other works. 
Its first appearance was in 1546, in the first edition of 
these collected treatises. However, in the present edition, 
the text has been revised, with new material added by 
Agrícola. 

[В]. De Natura Eorum quee Effluunt ex Terra in four 
books also had its first appearance in the first edition of 
1546. 

[C]. De Natura Fossilium in ten books is Agricola's 
most important statement on mineralogy. It has always 
been printed in combination with other works, and its 
first appearance was in the first edition of these collected 
treatises published in 1546. However, in this edition, 
Agrícola has considerably revised the text and added new 
material. 

[D]. De Veteribus & Novis Metallis in two books is a 
short work that also first appeared in the 1546 edition of 
collateral works. 

[E]. Bermannus, sive De Re Metallica Dialogue in one 
book was Agricola's first published work in relation to 
mining, which was first published as an independent work 
at Basel in 1530. In this edition, Agrícola makes many 
important changes and adds some new material, but later 
editions often reprint the text of the 1530 edition. 

[F]. interpretatio Germanica uocum rei Metallicae is 
a translation list of German equivalents for the Latin 
mineralogical terms used by Agrícola in his numerous 
writing. It first appeared in the collected edition of 1546, 
being included in all subsequent editions.

SCARCE. This edition of some of the collected works 
of Agrícola was brought together and edited by Johann 
Sigfrid [see note below]. The editor has renumbered most 
of the sections and made the text less exact than Agricola's 
original. In addition, Georg Fabricius 1565 work on metals 
is included. 

Johann Sigfrid. (BORN: 1556; DIED: 1623) German 

physician. Besides having a medical practice, Sigfrid was 
professor of anatomy at the University of Helmstedt.

SCARCE. The first collected edition of Agricola's 
works on mines, metallurgy, mineralogy and geology 
creating in effect an opera omnia of his technological 
writings. Contained therein are the fourth Latin editions 
of De Re Metallica and De Animantibus Subterraneis, and the 
sixth Latin editions of De Ortu S¿ Causis Subterraneorum, 
De Natura eorum quse efñuunt ex Terra, De Natura Fossilium, 
De Veteribus &: Novis Metallis, and Bermannus sive de Re 
Metallica, Dialogus. The original woodcuts used in the 
De Re Metallica (1st ed., Basileas, 1556) are a little worse 
for wear after over a century of life and the pagination is 
identical to the first printing since the 269 woodcuts have 
to be accommodated by the text. Only the De Animantibus 
Subterraneis had previously been published with the De Re 
Metallica.

RARE, especially in complete sets. Under the 

direction of the Freiberg publishing house of Craz &c 
Gerlach, Ernst Lehmann [see note below] prepared this 
translation of Agricola's mineralogical writings. The first 
volume is a translation of De Ortv Et Cavsis Svbterraneorvm, 
while the second is a rendering of De Natura Eorum. Quas 
Eíñuunt Ex Terra, the third in two parts is of De Natura 
Fossilium and the fourth is of De Veteribus Et Novis Metallis. 
Lehman has added commentary notes to the text. 

Ernst Johann Traugott Lehmann. (BORN: Baruth, 

Germany, 10 March 1777; DIED: Freiberg, Germany, 6 
December 1847) German mining expert. Lehmann held a 
variety of positions in mining at Freiberg, before being 
named an instructor and finally professor of mining at the 
famous Bergakademie of the city. He authored a systematic 
encyclopedia of mining science in 1804.

VERY SCARCE. De Re Metallica, is the first 
systematic treatment of mining and metallurgy and one 
of the most important technological volumes published 
in the sixteenth century. Written by Agrícola over 
the course of 20 years, the manuscript was probably 
completed by 1550; however, the hundreds of woodcut 
used for illustration delayed publication until after 
Agricola's death. Everything known by Agrícola 
concerning mining and metallurgical techniques is 
contained therein, including sections on prospecting, 
mine construction and administration, procedures for 
the manufacture of glass, alum and sulfur. The volume 
is further enhanced by the inclusion of two hundred and 
seventy-three magnificent, large woodcut illustrations 
by Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch depicting a large 
variety of mine and refinery processes, including water 
powered pumps, ore haulage, mine ventilation, furnace 
stoking, ore transportation, etc. 

A large number of minerals are mentioned by 
Agrícola, including many like bismuth for the first time. 
In addition, the mining and metallurgical processes 
described and illustrated are still at there core used even 
today. Also included are the author's last statement 
in Book V of physical geology, including his theories 
of the influence of water and wind on the shaping 
of the landscape, and a rather clear account of the 
stratification of rocks he saw within mines. His 
description of how the action of water erodes the 
landscape much in advance of his age.

VERY RARE. Translated by Philip Bech [see note 
below] from De Re Metallica (Basiliœ, 1556), and containing 
the same woodcut illustrations mostly by Rudolf Manuel 
Deutsch as the original edition. The Elector Augustus 
commanded that Agrícola have De Re Metallica rendered 
into German so that the mine workers, who did not know 
Latin, could make use of the work. It is a bad rendition, 
by one who knew nothing of the science, and who had no 
appreciation of the special Latin terms coined by Agrícola, 
most of which he translated literally. For example, the 
Hoover's call it "a wretched translation." But Bech, 
whose translation it was, admitted in many a point I am 
not satisfied with my translation. This is due to the 
shortness of the time and because I have not translated 
from Latin into German in former times. None the less, 
the text of this German edition was reprinted essentially 
unchanged in 1580 and again in 1621, with only new titles 
and preliminaries. These German editions appear to be 
much rarer than the Latin originals, no doubt owing to 
the fact that most miners and metallurgists found it more 
convenient to read the work in the vernacular.

RARE. Translation by Michelangelo Florio Fiorentino 
[see note below] of De Re Metallica (1st ed., Basiliœ, 1556). 
First Italian edition, using the same Hans Rudolf Deutsch 
woodcuts of Froben's Latin (1556, 1561) and German 
(1557) editions. The translator's dedication to England's 
Queen Elizabeth I (*2-*4) is usually not bound in. It 
appears that copies of this work sold in Italy had these 
leaves removed to avoid being censored as heretical. The 
relationship between the translator and the printer Froben 
is unknown. 

Michelangelo Florio Fiorentino. (BORN: 1525; DIED: 

1691) Italian translator. Fiorentino, an Italian Protestant 
who fled Italy for England, was the father of the 
Elizabethan writer John Florio [1553-1625], who produced 
the famous Worlde oí Wordes. He was patronized by Sir 
William Cecil and Cranmer, and produced several literary 
works.

AGUILERA, José Guadelupe. (Born: Mapimí, 
Durango, Mexico, 1857; DlED: Mexico City, Mexico, 
1941) Mexican geologist. 

In 1876, Aguilera moved to Mexico City to 
obtain a degree in assaying from that city's school 
of mines. While there he became proficient in the 
chemical analysis of minerals and subsequently, he was 
appointed custodian of the mineral and geology collections. 
He actively collaborated in the Comisión Geográfico 
Exploradora (founded 1878) and participated in the 
geological explorations of the states of Oaxaca, Tlaxcala 
and Puebla. In 1884, the government sent him to 
the Smithsonian Institution in Washington for extended 
studies. Upon his return, he was appointed to many 
positions of leadership in the geological exploration of 
Mexico. In 1886, Aguilera participated in the creation of 
the Instituto Geológico Nacional; he was its director from 
1895 to 1914. During his tenure, numerous publications 
describing the geology of Mexico were published under the 
oversight of the Instituto.

VERY SCARCE. Although dated, this work is 
perhaps the fullest treatment of the minerals of Mexico, 
giving a valuable catalog of the mineral species found 
in the country. It was printed as Instituto Geológico 
Mexico, Boletín No. 11. In it the minerals are arranged 
according to the classification system presented in 
Dana's System of Mineralog}' (6th ed., New York, 1892), 
with individual localities within Mexico being given 
fully in connection with each species. The book begins 
with a prolog where the author explains that the large 
quantity of mineral species found in Mexico made 
the country an obvious candidate for a topographical 
mineralogy. An overview of the mineralogical system 
is then presented, followed by a list of mineral species 
known to occur in Mexico together with their localities. 
Another section reverses the order by first listing the 
geographical location together with the species know 
to occur there. The volume closes with a list of 
abbreviations and an index to the species mentioned 
in the catalog.

AIKIN, Arthur. (BORN: Warrington, Lancashire, 
England, 19 May 1773; DIED: London, England, 15 
April 1854) English chemist & mineralogist. 

Aikin originally trained to be a Unitarian minister; 
however, under the influence of the chemist Joseph Priestly 
[1733-1804], he was convinced to persue a career in 
chemistry and mineralogy. Aikin edited from 1803 to 1808 
the Annual Review. He was a founding member of the 
Geological Society of London, and for many years held 
the position of its secretary. He was also secretary of the 
Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and 
Commerce and the first treasurer and later president of the 
Chemical Society.

SCARCE. This is an account of an extensive 
tour made by Aikin throughout northern Wales in the 
summer of 1796. It was undertaken in part as a pleasent 
excursion and also partly to increase the author's 
mineralogical knowledge by examining the geological 
formations encountered along the way. A great number 
of mineralogical observations are included, but the 
volume is also gives vivid descriptions of the grandeur 
of the Welsh landscape, written in Aikin's familiar 
style. The text is divided into nineteen chapters, 
each describing observations made on a relatively short 
journey from one town to another.

crystal drawings. 

SCARCE. Co-authored with Charles Rochemont 
Aikin [see note below]. "The intention has been to give 
a faithful and sufficiently detailed description of all the 
important facts hitherto discovered in the sciences of 
Chemistry and Mineralogy, enlarging more particularly 
on those parts which are of peculiar interest to the Man- 
ufacturer and to the Practical Chemist." (Preface). 

This work was written as a practical tool to guide 
the manufacturer and chemist, having been inspired by 
the Chimie Appliquée aux Arts of the French industrial 
chemist, Jean- Antoine Chaptal [1756-1832]. There- 
fore, almost all information regarding historical per- 
spectives and theoretical matters, including medicine, 
magenetism, galvantism, etc., has been omitted. De- 
scriptions of the procedures are always guided by what 
is known to work, with only slight speculation on the 
reason why. For many years during the industrial pe- 
riod, this was the premier dictionary in English on the 
described subjects. An appendix was also published 
[which see next entry]. 

Charles Rochemont Aikin. (BORN: Warrington, 

Lancashire, England, 1775; DIED: London, England, 20 
March 1847) English physician & chemist. Charles was the 
brother of Arthur Aikin. He was a member of the Royal 
College of Physicians and secretary of the London Medical 
and Chirurgical Society.

SCARCE. This work was based upon lectures 
Aikin delivered during the winter of 1814 before 
members of the Geological Society of London. It 
is written in a clear, lucid manner so that even 
a beginner could gain insight to the science. The 
introduction provides preliminary information about 
the science of mineralogy, including definitions and 
reasons why the science should be studied. An outline 
of the classification system proposed by the author 
is provided. This is followed by the descriptive 



mineralogy, which takes up the remainder of the work. 
The work deals principally with the procedures used 
to identify mineral substances. The author describes 
the properties that are peculiar to each mineral and 
how they might be used to distinguish between similar 
species. Aikin was one of the most accomplished 
mineralogists of his time, and the easy narrative 
he adopts throughout this work undoubtedly helped 
popularize mineralogical studies.

ALBERTUS DE SAXONIA. (BORN: Saxony, Ger- 
many, cl330; DIED: c1390) German theologian, philoso- 
pher & naturalist. 

Albertus was the son of a Saxon framer. He 
graduated from the University of Ph.iín and whs appointed 
the first Rector of the University of Vienna in 1365. 
Then from 1366 to 1390 he was Bishop of Halberstadt in 
Germany. As a logician, he was at the forefront of the 
movement that expanded the analysis of language based 
on the properties of terms, especially their reference (in 
Latin: suppositio), but also in the exploration of new 
fields of logic, especially the theory of consequences. As 
a natural philosopher, he contributed to the spread of 
Parisian natural philosophy throughout Italy and central 
Europe. Because of the authority of his name, the pseudo- 
Albertus Magnus work, Liber aggregationis or Secreta de 
herbis, lapidibus et mineralibus was sometimes issued under 
his name.

this is the only translation into a modern language 
of Arnoldus Saxo's major work, which is recognized 
as one of the first encyclopedias of the 13th century. 
Arnold was probably a doctor and teacher, who may 
well have known ALBERTUS MAGNUS. He was a 
privileged witness to the transmission of the Greek- 
Arabic texts as they spread through Europe after 
the Dark Ages. In particular the works of Aristotle 
captured his attention. Writing between 1220 and 1230, 
he authored a compilation of knowledge that he titled, 
De ñnibus rerum naturalium. Basing his text on the 
Latin translations of Greek and Arabic writings, he 
divided the material into five books: I. De coelo et 
mundo. IL De naturis animalium. III. De gemmarum 
virtutibus. IV. De virtute universali. V. De moralibus. 
The third part, or lapidary, was especially popular 
during the Middle Ages. In it he quotes Aristotle, 
Dioscorides, and "Aaron and Evax" (i.e., Marbode). 
It was used by Thomas of Cantimpré, Bartholornaeus 
Anglicus, Albertus Magnus, Vincent, of Beauvais, when 
writing their own works, but was not quoted except by 
the last named and by the anonymous author of the 
Hortus Sanitatis. It was also early on anonymously 
translated into Hebrew as, Sefer Ha-Abanim.

ALBERTUS MAGNUS. (BORN: Lauingen, Swabia, 
Germany, 1193; DIED: Cologne, Germany, 15 November 
1280) German naturalist & theologian. 

Albertus was one of the most famous authors of the 
High Middle Ages. He was born to a wealthy and powerful 
family, which provided him with a good Classical eduction. 
He studied liberal arts at Padua, where he came under the 
influence of Joranus of Saxony [7-1236], Master General 
of the Dominican Order. Against his family wishes, Albert 
vowed to a life of poverty and entered the Order, eventually 
being ordained a priest. Around 1241, he was sent to the 
University of Paris where he quickly rose to the post of 
Master of Theology. His devotion and knowledge soon 
lead to his appointment to establish in Cologne a studium 
generale. This education center was to occupy and consume 
Albertus for the remainder of his life; among his illustrious 
students were Thomas Aquinas [1227-1274], Thomas of 
Cantimpré [1201-after 1280] and Ulrich of Strassburg and 
Giles [7-1278]. In 1260 the Pope appointed Albertus Bishop 
of Regensburg, a post he resigned in 1262. The remainder 
of his long life was devoted to preaching, teaching and 
writing, primarily at Cologne. He was the most influential 
medieval educator of the Aristotelian philosphies, and 
through his position as provost at Cologne, he introduced

at other education centers. Albertus Magnus was canonized 
in 1931 by Pope Pius XI, who declared him Saint to all

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. Albertus 
Magnus set as his life's work to place all of Aristotle's 
extant writings into a coherent system and to reconcile 
the Greek philosophies with those of the Christian 
world. To attain this outcome, he scoured the libraries 
of every monastery he visited for any writings of the 
Ancients. In this quest he was rewarded with the 
discovery of several ancient works thought lost. These 
he had copied under his own eyes, thus preserving them 
for the future when they might not otherwise have 
survived. However, Albert's diligence did not locate any 
copy of what he thought was Aristotle's Lapidary, and 
what is now known to be a pseudo— Aristotelian work. 
He was therefore forced to write his own work dealing 
with minerals. The result is of remarkable interest as 
it shows not only what the state of mineralogy was in

Albertus Magnus 



the 13th century, but what Albert thought the science 
should be. 

The De Mineralibus [=Book of Minerals] is an 
reflection of the knowledge of minerals in the 13th 
century structured in the framework of ancient Greek 
doctrine. Following basic Aristotelian philosophy and 
guided only by the few lines devoted to mineral 
substances in Aristotle's Meteorológica, Albertus draws 
heavily upon his own observations and less so on other 
medieval and classical sources to describe minerals. 
Various duties of his religious Order caused him to 
take frequent trips throughout the territories of France, 
Germany and Italy. Along the literally thousands 
of miles traveled on foot by Albertus, he had many 
encounters with mines, miners and minerals. These 
impressions he retained in his memory until they were 
later recorded in this work. Consequently, when reading 
Albertus' words, there is no doubt as to the authority 
of his citations. One can only regret that the scope of 
the project was so great as to preclude observations of 
many phenomena. 

The De Mineralibus is divided into five books, 
dealing with stones (Books I— II), metals (Books III— 
IV), "intermediates" (Book V), which are neither stones 
nor metals, but have characteristics of both. In books, 
I, III and V the author follows classical philosophy by 
discussing minerals based upon their causes. This refers 
to the four causes distinguished by Aristotle as material 
(the matter from which minerals are made), efficient 
(the process by which minerals are made), formal (the 
form which minerals take, assumed by Albertus to 
be based on biological propagation), and final (the 
reason the mineral exists). In books, II, IV and V 
Albertus completes his plan by individually naming 
stones, metals, and "intermediates," and describing 
each in considerable detail. This type of catalog, 
alphabetically arranged on the name of the stone was 
popular in medieval herbáis and lapidaries and is a 
tradition that dates back at least to Pliny. Yet Albertus' 
De Aíineraübus is not a simple lapidary. Even though 
its background is based in medieval thought, with 
many errors, the structure of the text is recognizable 
in modern textbooks (i.e., the introduction of general 
principles giving the origin, and physical properties 
of minerals, followed by descriptions of individual 
minerals including appearance, place of occurrence, 
uses, etc.). With Albertus Magnus' mineralogy, the 
study of minerals begins to emerge from its embryonic 
period into a full fledged science. The tradition of 
magical and curative powers in gems still permeates the 
text, but one feels the author fighting the superstitions 
of the ancient beliefs, and seeing the world in a new, 
more skeptical and practical view.

RARE. An important collected edition of scientific 
writings by the great scientist philospher edited with notes 
added by the physician Marco Antonio Zimara [see note 
below]. Included are the author's books on mineralogy, 
astronomy, metaphysics, the intellect, etc. The volume 
is generously illustrated with woodcut scientific diagrams, 
and is one of the keystones in a long series of medieval 
scientific texts published by the heirs of Ottaviano Scoto 
in the early sixteenth century, mostly printed by Bonetus 
Locatellus [fl. 1486-1523]. The De Mineralibus, which 
includes works on chemistry and alchemy, precious stones 
and mineralogy generally is found in the second part. 

Ottaviano Scoto. (BORN: Monza, Italy, cl440; DIED: 
Venice, Italy, 1498/9) Italian publisher. Scoto headed 
a distinguished family of Venetian printers. Born of a 
noble family of Monza, he came to Venice at the age of 
35 and operated a press there between 1479 and 1484. 
He continued as an editor until 1498/9 whereupon his 
heirs, including his brothers and nephews, undertook their 
own activity (1499-1532). The original printer's mark of

History 



Albertus Magnus 



Ottaviano Scoto, was an elegant circle from whose center 
extended a double cross. Within the circle are the letters 
O.S.M, the initials of Octavianus Scotus Modoetiensis 
(Ottaviano Scoto of Monza). 

Marco Antonio Zimara. (BORN: Galatina, Italy, 1460; 
DIED: Padua, Italy, 1523) Italian physician. Although of 
humble origins, Zimara graduated from the University of 
Padua with degrees in philosophy and medicine. In 1507 
he was named professor ordinary at Padua, and in 1514 
he became mayor of Galatina. His last years were devoted 
to writing a guide to natural philosophy and metaphyisics 
contained in the works of Aristotle and Averroës.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. As its Latin 
title suggests, Liber Aggreationis, or "book of collected 
items," The Book of Secrets is an anthology rather 
than a single work. The treatment of the subject 
matter is also sensational, reinforcing the popular myths 
about nature. It is divided into sections describing 
the marvellous properites of herbs, stones, and beasts. 
However, within each part the text is collected from 
a wide variety of sources. The text may be divided 
into these component parts: (1) On Herbs describes 16 
herbs described in terms of their magical properties, (2) 
On Stones repeats 45 entries from Albertus Magnus' 
Mineralia, which is followed by a single paragraph 
taken from the 7th century encyclopedist, ISIDORE OF 
SEVILLE, (3) On Beast, in which 18 beasts — animals, 
birds and fish are described, and (4) On the Astrological 
Influence of Planets containing a treatise on the hours 
of the day governed by the various planets. In later 
editions of The Book of Secrets another formerly 
independent treatise describing "The Marvels of the 
World" is soetimes appended. 

Although the preface and a passage at the end 



of the section dealing with beasts attribute this as an 
original work of Albertus Magnus, it is very different 
from the other known writings of him. It was written, 
however, contemporary with Albertus or shortly after 
he died; the earliest surviving manuscripts are from the 
late 13th century, and Albertus died in 1279. It may 
be that The Book of Secrets was written by a follower 
of Albertus; certainly, as Thorndike writes, "There 
can be little doubt that it pretends to be a product 
of his experimental school among the Dominicans at 
Cologne." Sometimes the text as been attributed 
wrongly to Albertus de Saxonia [which see note below]. 

Secrets in literature became a popular tradition 
during the Middle Ages; texts of this type were written 
for the popular audience, not scholarly persuit. Despite 
the scorn of the scholars, however, this literature 
capitalized on the prestige associated with the great 
scholars of the past including Albertus Magnus. They 
each have many works spuriously attributed to them. 
This is not suprising when one realizes that the 
intellectual climate constrained many scholars to cast 
their writings in the form of commentaries on the 
works of the ancients. For example, the whole of 
Albertus' vast output was intended by the author to 
be a commentary on Aristotle, though it contains much 
original work. 

The most interesting fact about the Liber 
Aggregationis is not that it was written but that 
it enjoyed wide popularity for so long. With the 
introduction of mechanical printing this work became 
an incunubula best seller with more than 45 editions 
being published before 1501. It was perennially 
translated, reworked and edited for four more centuries 
with the last edition appearing in 1937. 

The Liber Aggregationis was one of the most 
widely known and republished works in the literature 
that gained popularity during the Middle Ages. The 
demand for this work is demonstrated by the survival 
of a large number of manuscripts dating from as early 
as the 12th century and by the fact that several of 
these continued to be copied, anthologized, translated 
into the incunubula period. With the invention of 
printing the Liber Aggregationis was issued in more 
than fifty Latin editions during the 15th Century, with 
the first dated edition making its appearance in 1478 
from the press of Johann Schriber of Bologna. During 
the incunubula period it also appeared in Italian, 
Catalan, and French versions. Commonly, the Liber 
Aggregationis was also bound with Albertus Magnus' 
De Mirabiíibus Mundi and the Parvurn Regimen 
Sanitatis. 

Albertus de Saxonia. (BORN: Saxony, Germany, cl330; 
DIED: c1390) German theologian, philosopher & naturalist. 
Albertus was the son of a Saxon frarner. He graduated 
from the University of Paris and was appointed the first 
Rector of the University of Vienna in 1365. Then from 
1366 to 1390 he was Bishop of Halberstadt in Germany. 
As a logician, he was at the forefront of the movement 
that expanded the analysis of language based on the 
properties of terms, especially their reference (in Latin: 
suppositio), but also in the exploration of new fields of 
logic, especially the theory of consequences. As a natural

natural philosophy throughout Italy and central Europe. 
Because of the authority of his name, the pseudo-Albertus

Aldrovandi 



ALDROVANDI, Ulysse. (Born: Bologna, Italy, 11 
September 1522; DIED: Bologna, Italy, 10 May 1605) 
Italian botanist & natural historian. 

Aldrovandi is regarded as one of the foremost 
zoologists of the Renaissance. He was born of a respectable 
burgher family and it was intended he should become a 
merchant. However, the work attracted him so little he 
began studying first jurisprudence in Bologna and then 
philosophy and medicine at Padua and Rome, receiving 
the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1552. In 1560, 
he was appointed professor of natural history at the 
University of Bologna, where he remained the next 40 
years, until his death. As a professor he was a favorite 
lecturer of the students, and his talks on botany and 
pharmacology were heavily attended. In order to provide 
teaching aids for his lectures, he founded in 1568 the 
Bologna City Gardens and became its first director. About 
this period, he was also appointed inspector of drugs 
and as a consequence published, Antidotara Bononiensis 
Epitome (Вопошээ, 1615), which became a model for many 
subsequent pharmacopœdias. 

Throughout his adult life, Aldrovandi spent his 
financial and leisure resources in the accumulation of a very 
large collection of natural history objects. He employed 
the artists of the city to create woodcuts of the objects 
for use in a series of large, beautifully illustrated books, 
covering the natural history spectrum. However, at his 
death, only four volumes had been published. Before he 
died though, the Bologna City goverment, in recognition 
of his scientific contributions, had doubled his salary. 
In gratitude, Aldrovandi bequeathed his collections and 
unpublished manuscripts to the city, where today the 
remains are located in the city's library and museum. This 
was also a shrewd move because after his death, the city 
decided to continue the publication of the manuscripts. 
The result is that all of the various researches are embodied 
in Aldrovandi's Opera Omnia (Вопошээ, 1599-1668), which 
consists of 14 large folio volumes, covering all aspects of 
natural history, and forming one of the great scientific 
works of the seventeenth century.

VERY SCARCE. Edited by Bartolomeo Ambrosini 




Mvsaevm Metallicvm, 1648. 

[see note below]. Some forty years after he died, 
Aldrovandi's Musaeum Adetallicurn was published as 
a thick folio volume. Since his death, the work 
had existed as a manuscript, "Geológica ovvero 
Fossilibus" in the library collections of the University of 
Bologna, which had been bequeathed all of Aldrovandi's 
manuscripts. Even unpublished, many scholars studied 
it as a resource for their own researches. The value 
others placed upon Aldrovandi's material did not go 
unnoticed, which is why a former student of the author, 
Bartolomeo Ambrosini was entrusted by the Bologna 
senate to edit the material Aldrovandi had accumulated 
and oversee its publication. The final product is a 
superb book. 

The work consists of a single volume divided into 
four books: on metals, earths, succi concreti (concrete 
juices), and stones (minerals, rocks, and fossils). Within 
each of these books, whole chapters are devoted to the 
consideration of a single "fossil." In a style typical of 
its time, each chapter then describes the fossil's medical 
properties, synonyms, localities, origins, varieties, and 
uses. Aldrovandi includes references to classical and 
medival authors through out the volume in a fashion 
that anticipated modern scholars by compiling long 
lists of authorities but omitting those commonly cited 
(Partington, 1961—70). The antiquarian nature of the 
book commonly gives the names and descriptions of 
the items listed a strange, unrecognizable character.

However, Foresti (1887) attempted to ease the struggle 
by matching relatively modern names to Aldrovandi's. 
The comprehensive index included at the end of 
Musaeum Metallicum also makes this a reader friendly 
book. 

Perhaps the most outstanding feature for the 
connoiseur of minéralogie literature are the several 
hundered woodcuts scattered throughout the volume. 
Some of these are full page but most are smaller, with 
many possessing a quaint, interesting character. These 
figures are designed to illustrate features described 
in the text, but since minerals do not easily lend 
themselves to illustration, the pictures "rather require 
the text to explain them" (Adams, 1934). That 
Aldrovandi was a man of accumulation is clearly shown 
by his inclusion of all facts that came to his attention 
without apparently any critical faculty to distinguish 
between the true and imaginary, the important and 
nonessential. A great amount of scientific value is 
contained in Musaeum Metallicum but an overburden 
must be removed to discover those nuggets. In truth, 
the author was a product of his time. The influence 
of the church and other authorities did not bind his 
writings and ideas as they had past authors, "and so," 
as Adams (1934) writes, "one gathers the impression 
that he was writing at the opening of a new age ..." 

Bartolomeo Ambrosini. (BORN: 1587; DIED: 1688) 

Italian physician & botanist. Ambrosini was a pupil 

of Aldrovandi, who successively became professor of 
philosophy, botany and medicine at the University of 
Bologna. He also became director of that city's botanical 
gardens.

Synopsis Muséum Metallicum, 1701 

David Kellner [see note below] of Mvsaevm Metallicvm 
(Bononiœ, 1648). The work is divided into two books. The 
first (page 1-67) is "De Metallis in genere," which gives 
an overview of metals, their origins, reason for existance, 
etc. The second book (pages 68-258), titled "De Metallis 
in specie," gives detailed descriptions of various metals, 
including notes on the both the physical and mystical 
properties. 

David Kellner. (BORN: Gotha, Germany, 16 — ; 

DIED: 17 — ) German physician. Kellner studied medicine 
in Helmstedt, receiving his M.D. in 1670 (or 1673). He 
worked in Nordhausen, and may have been a physician 
to the court. The second of his surgical dissertations is 
dedicated to Johann Langguth, a physician in the service 
of Duke Ernst of Saxony. It is possible that Langguth 
advanced Kellner in his work. He dedicates one of his books 
to Johann Scheib, the surgeon and barber of Gotha (the 
prince's city of residence) whom Kellner calls his friend and 
patron. He authored several treatises concerning mining, 
assaying and metallurgy.

capturing Cadiz in 1262. Through his sponsorship, a 
translation of Old Testament was prepared by Jews of 
Toledo and the first history of Spain written. His policies

banker. 

Allan accumulated a large mineral collection that was 
subsequently bequeathed to his son Robert. This collection 
was later incorporated into ROBERT Greg's, which is now 
in the British Museum of Natural History. In 1813, 
Allan was influential in securing a mineralogy post in the 
Dublin Philosophical Society for K.L. GlESECKE. Allan 
wrote "Diamond" for the fifth edition of the Encyclopedia 
Britannica. Allan was elected a Fellow of the Royal Societies 
of London and Edinburgh. He also recognized a new 
mineral species from Greenland, which in 1810 was named 
"Allanite" in his honor by Thomas Thomson.

each mineral species. 

RARE. Although assigned the title of "First edition" 
in most bibliographies, this clearly is the second revision 
after the previous item. The introduction is signed T. 
Allan. This is one of the earliest attempts in English 
to compare and clarify the mineralogical nomenclature 
used by various authors. "As no rules have yet been 
established, by which mineralogical nomenclature can be 
regulated, every new work makes a considerable addition 
to the unwieldy stock of synonymes already in use; and 
the numerous valuable publications, which have recently 
appeared on mineralogy, have increased the perplexity 
arising from this circumstance to such a degree, that 
the science has been plunged into difficulties, which 
cannot fail to bewilder, particularly, the young student." — 
Introduction. 

In this work, Allan first gives an alphabetical list of 
the mineral species names used by Kirwan, Jameson, Haiiy, 
Brochant, Lucas and Brongniart. He has then added tables 
showing the composition of all the minerals that had been 
submitted to chemical analysis. These tables are divided 
into four classes I. Saline, II. Earthy, III. Inflammable and 
IV. Metallic, with the minerals arranged alphabetically 
within their respective tables. 

Apparently two issues of this edition exist. This one, 
with "Caledonian Mercury Press" imprinted on the title, is 
not listed in BLC. Instead, they describe an issue with the 
imprint of "Canterbury Press" on the title page.

idea of this little Work originated in the difficulty I 
experienced when the study of Mineralogy first engaged 
my attention. I was then so perplexed with the variety 
of Synonymous Terms which were indiscriminately made 
use of, that I was induced to frame a small manuscript 
vocabulary to assist my memory. This was afterwards 
committed to the press; and since that time so great an 
addition has been made, not only to the number of known 
minerals, but to the original stock of names, that a work of 
this kind requires to be renewed, were it only to keep pace 
with the alterations which time has introduced." (Preface).

RARE. Edited by Archibald Bruce [see note 
below], The American Mineralogical Journal was the 
first periodical in America devoted exclusively to 
scientific subjects. Although its existence was short 
lived, from 1810 to 1814, it was recognized early in its 
history to give reliable information about the mineral 
deposits and recently discovered geological phenomena 
of America. In 1814 the four issues already published 
were collected together into a single volume. Then 
due to Bruce's deteriorating health, publication ceased, 
although the editor optimistically believed that his 
Journal would someday continue. Unfortunately, he 
never regained sufficient strength to resume his editorial 
duties and only after his death in 1818, was his vision 
realized. This new magazine edited by Bruce's good 
friend Benjamin Silliman of Yale increased its format 
to include all forms of science, including mineralogy 
and geology, and thus became the oracle for nineteenth 
century American science. The title it took on its 
debut in 1818 was: The American Journal of Science, 
More Especially of Mineralogy, Geology, and the Other 
Branches of Natural History; Including Also Agriculture 
and the Ornamental as well as the Useful Arts.

Archibald Bruce. (BORN: New York City, New York, 
U.S.A., February 1777; DIED: New York City, New York, 
U.S.A., 22 February 1818) American chemist & mineralogist. 
Bruce's father was head of the medical department of the 
British Army stationed in New York City. He was educated 
at a boarding school on Long Island before entering 
Columbia College in 1791, receiving his A.B. degree in 
medicine in 1797. One of medical professor's was David 
Hosack who had returned from Europe with a substantial 
mineral collection. Soon, Hosack infected Bruce with his 
enthusiasm for minerals, which quickly became Bruce's 
favorite leisurely pursuit. In 1798, Bruce sailed for Great 
Britain to study medicine at the University of Edinburgh. 
He was awarded the degree of M.D. in 1800, after which 
he toured France, Switzerland, Italy and England. During 
this tour, he became acquainted with all of the leading 
mineralogists of France and England. In 1803, he married 
in London and returned to America, where he opened a 
successful medical practice. In 1807, Bruce and several 
others founded the College of Physicians and Surgeons, 
now Columbia University's Medical School. In this venture 
Bruce was a trustee, 1807-11, registrar, 1807-11, professor 
of mineralogy, 1807-8 and professor of materia medica, 
1808-11. In 1812, Bruce and others again founded a new 
medical school associated with Rutgers. There he was 
professor of mineralogy and materia medica, 1812-8. He 
died of apoplexy in 1818. Bruce's mineral collection sold 
for the large sum (in that time) of $5,000, which indicates 
a high quality of specimen. His name is perpetuated by the 
mineral "Brucite" named in his honor by F.S. Beudant in 
1819.

VERY RARE. A standard textbook of mineralogy, 
divided into 24 lessons. The introductory material 
covers the usual topics of physical and chemical 
properties, nomenclature, and classification methods. 
The descriptive portions classifies the mineral species 
using a new approach developed by the author. Here 
Amondieu makes use of the chemical and physical 
properties of the mineral to classify its species, in an 
approach that he asserts follows the manner of nature. 
Considering its popular style approach to the subject 
this is a suprisingly scarce work.

ANDERSON, Charles. (Born: Moa, Stenness, 
Orkney Islands, Scotland, 5 December 1876; DIED: Syd- 
ney, Australia, 25 October 1944) Scottish mineralogist. 

Anderson attended Kirkwall Burgh School and the 
University of Edinburgh (M.A., 1898, B.Sc, 1900, D.Sc, 
1908). He was appointed mineralogist at the Australian 
Museum, Sydney, 22 July 1908. His doctorial dissertation 
was on the chemistry and crystallography of minerals 
from Australia. Anderson was appointed director of the 
Australian Museum, 14 February 1921, and switched his 
field of research to vertabrate palaeontology, in which made 
notable contributions — particularly the reclassification of 
Meiolania (the extinct horned turtle). He held membership 
in many Australian scientific societies. It is recorded that 
Anderson had a whirniscal sense of humor and simple 
tastes, and "when measuring crystals on the goniometer, 
an intricate piece of apparatus, his favorite song was 'There 
was a wee cooper who lived in Fife,/Nicketty, nacketty, noo, 
noo, noo.'" .

ANTHONY, John Williams. (Born: Brockton, 
Massachusetts, U.S.A., 25 November 1920; DIED: El 
Paso, Texas, U.S.A., 8 November 1992) American 
geologist & mineralogist. 

Anthony began his geology degree at Brown 
University before World War II. The war intervened, 
however, and only after his service did he move to Tucson, 
Arizona, where he earned his B.S. in geology in 1946. This 
was followed by an M.S. in 1951, and in 1965, a Ph.D. 
from Harvard University where he studied under CLIFFORD 
Frondel. In 1946, he accepted a position as mineralogist 
with the Arizona Bureau of Mines, which he retained until 
1951. The experience gave him an expert knowledge of 
the mineralogy of Arizona. From 1951 until 1964 he rose 
from Assistant to Associate Professor of geology at the 
University of Arizona. In 1964 he was appointed a full 
professor at that institution — a position he kept until his 
retirement in 1983. Anthony held membership in the 
Mineralogical Society of America, the Geological Society of 
America, and the American Crystallographic Association. 
His specialty was the mineralogy and economic geology 
of the American southwest, as well as experimental and 
descriptive mineralogy. The mineral species "Anthonyite" 
was name in his honor by S.A. Williams in 1985.

VERY SCARCE. Co-authored with Richard A. 
Bideaux, Kenneth W. Bladh and Monte C. Nichols [see 
notes below], and continued on after Anthony's death 
by these individuals. This is one of the most important 
and valuable mineralogical references published in the 
late 20th and early 21st centuries, and eclipsed in 
its treatment of the subject only by C.A.F. HlNTZE's 
monumental Handbuch der Mineralogie (Leipzig, 1898- 
1933). This modern Handbook series, complete in 
five volumes, encapsulates critical data about each 
valid mineral species. It was conceived in order 
to gather in one convenient place data critical to 
identification of all mineral species, and to provide 
relatively up-to-date references for each species listed. 
The intention is to provide sufficient information for 
the professional or amateur to distinguish one mineral 
species from another. Pertinent facts for each species 
have been distilled to one page and consist of the 
name, idealized chemical formula, crystal data, physical 



properties, optical properties, cell data, X-ray powder 
pattern, chemistry, polymorphism &¿ series, occurrence, 
association, distribution, name origin, location of 
type material and reference citations. This structure 
contains much of what is known about each mineral 
species, and as a mineralogical reference is unsurpassed 
in its thoroughness during modern times. 

It is also a book valuable to amateur and 
professionals alike. It is fun as well as educational to 
browse the contents of these volumes and marvel at 
the variety of minerals and to consider their physical 
characteristics and the origin of their names. It is an 
especially valuable work for giving complete references 
and comparative chemical data for even rare species. 
In addition, the authors' expertise in judging specimen 
quality provides excellent source material for exact 
locality information where the best specimens have 
been found. This work is certainly one of the finest 
mineralogical treatises ever published, and hence its 
inclusion in this Biobibliography even though it is 
published well past the terminal date of 1920. 

Richard August Bideaux. (BORN: Tucson, Arizona, 

U.S.A., 28 March 1935; DIED: Prescott, Arizona, U.S.A., 26 
October 2004) American mineralogist & pioneer in geological 
computer applications. Bideaux is a graduate of the 
University of Arizona (B.S., Geological Engineering, 1959) 
and received his M.A. in geology from Harvard University 
in 1968. He discovered and helped to describe several 
new mineral species. As a field collector, he along with 
collecting partner, Richard L. "Dick" Jones [1933—1982] 
preserved many notable Arizona specimens, including fine 
examples of Defiance and Glove Mine wulfenite. He was 
employed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory during the 
Surveyor missions to the moon, and was responsible for 
processing imaging data of the first pictures received by 
the U.S.A. from a heavenly body other than the earth. He 
returned to Tucson, Arizona in the late 1960's and founded 
Computing Associates with two partners. This company 
was a pioneer in computer applications in geology and 
mining engineering, and was responsible for determining 
the ore reserves of many mining companies throughout the 
world. As a consequence of his achievements in this area, 
in 1978 the University of Arizona bestowed on him the 
professional degree of Geological Engineer. Throughout 
most his life he has collected mineral specimens. A large 
portion of the fine collection he built was dispersed through 
Kristalle in 1985. He is a life fellow of the Mineralogical 
Society of America and a member of the Arizona Geological 
Society. The mineral species "Bideauxite" was named in 
his honor by S.A. Williams in 1970. 

Kenneth William Blahd. (BORN: Chicago, Illinois, 

U.S.A., 7 November 1947; DIED: ) American 

geologist & mineralogist. Bladh received his B.A. from 
Wittenberg University in 1969 and his M.S. and Ph.D. from 
the University of Arizona in 1973 and 1978, respectively. 
He is an expert in descriptive mineralogy and the low 
temperature geochemistry of weathering processes. He 
has been an Assistant Professor of Geology at Wittenberg 
University since 1978. Bladh in a member of the 
Mineralogical Society of America, the Geological Society 
of America, the Mineralogical Association of Canada and 
Sigma Xi. 

Monte C. Nichols. (BORN: Davenport, Iowa, U.S.A., 
1938; DIED: ) American chemist. American 

chemist. Nichols was educated at the University of Arizona 
(B.S., Chemistry, 1960; M.S., Physical Chemistry, 1962). 
Formerly, he was a senior member of the technical staff, 
materials department, Sandia National Laboratories and 
winner of R&D 100 awards in 1986, 1988 and 1991 for

SCARCE. Published anonymously, but attributed 
to James Apjohn. The preface provides a short history 
of earlier catalogs of the collection, before presenting 
an overview of the methods adopted in this work. 
Apjohn uses the arrangement of Beudant as outlined 
in the Traité de Minéralogie (2nd ed., Paris, 1830-1). 
Thus the collection is arranged in thirty-two sections, 
corresponding to the families of Beudant. Within 
each family, the genera and species represented in the 
specimens of the collection are described. An index at 
the end gives an alphabetical arrangement of the species 
mentioned.

ARBOLAYRE (or Grant Herbier). 

A French herbal that was supposedly a translation 
of one of the early German herbáis. Although the earliest 
edition (issued under the title "Arbolayre") was illustrated 
with German cuts formerly used in an edition of the Gart 
der Gesundheit, the text is completely different from the 
German and Latin Hortus. Subsequent editions were issued 
under the title, Grant Herbier.

in 1525 has no illustrations. 

The text consists of chapters i-cccccv. With the 
exception of the preface and the treatise on urines, the 
Grete Herball is a translation of the French Grand Herbier 
or Arbolayre. The preface and the treatise on urines 
show a strong resemblance to the corresponding parts of 
the German Gart. This English issue is important for 
presenting on the early English names of plants. The 
woodcuts of the plants are copied from the those in the 
Dutch herbáis, probably the 1511 edition. The skeleton is 
copied from Grüninger's cut. 

The title page cut shows a charming woodcut of a 
garden, with a man holding a spade and gathering grapes, 
and a woman throwing flowers and herbs out of her apron 
into a basket. Figures of female and male mandrake in the 
lower corners. The title cut and the text cuts reappear 
in the Dutch Gart der Gesundheit edition of 1538, issued 
in Ultrecht by Jan Bernts printed from the same blocks. 
Complete copies are exceptionally rare.

ARDUINO, Giovanni. (BORN: Caprino, Italy, 16 
October 1714; DIED: Venice, Italy, 21 March 1795) 
Italian geologist. 

Arduino was educated at Verona, Italy. He was 
employed with the goverment mining service, becoming 
director of mining works in Tuscany. He was appointed 
professor of mineralogy and metallurgy at Venice, and later 
Padua. Ardunio was the first to classify rocks as Primary, 
Secondary and Tertiary, 1760, and also the first to recognize 
the volcanic origin of crystalline rocks. Arduino recognized 
the benefit of applying chemistry and paleontology to the 
chronology of geological formations for age dating purposes.

QVILATADOR, 1572 

VERY RARE. A mineralogy designed to instruct 
ladies in the science of mineralogy. The text discusses 
the collecting of mineral and natural history specimens, 
differences between false and genuine gemstones, 
lapidary craft, and jewelery manufacturing. At the 
end is a discussion cast into a coversation between two 
girls about the collecting of specimens and the value of 
forming collections. The tone of the text suggests that 
the pseudonym used by the author was to hide her true 
gender.

VERY RARE. One of the earliest published texts 
devoted to the subject of petroleum, this curious tract 
was published from manuscript material written over 
two centuries earlier. Oligerus Jacob,EUS, the editor, 
dedictates the work to the famous Italian bibliophile 
Antonio Magliabecchi [1633-1714]. Pages 9-12 contains 
"a preface to the reader giving some account of this 
mineral oil, or naphtha, found at Mons Zibius, Gybius, 
or Zilius, in the Modenesse territory, comparing it with 
naphtha from India and indicating certain analogies 
with amber. There is next a short biographical sketch- 
in Italian— of Ariostus, written by Antonio Libanori and 
communicated by Magliabecchi. The tract itself (pp. 



18-38) gives an account of the oil, and then (pp. 38-76) 
a description of cures effected by the use of it. The work 
concludes (pp. 77-79) with a presentation letter from 
Ariostus to Duke Borsius dated December, 1462, and 
the Duke's reply, after with is the Index." (Ferguson).

Aristotle 



ARISTOTLE. (BORN: Stagira, Chaldice, near Mace- 
don, Greece, 384 B.c.; DIED: Chalcis, Island of Euboea, 
Greece, 322 b.c.) Greek philosopher. 

Aristotle was the son of Nicomachus, physician to 
King Amynas II of Macedón. He became a student of 
Plato, at the Athens Academy, 367-347 B.C.E. Afterward 
he traveled throughout the Greek world, especially Asia 
Minor, 347-342 B.C.E. He was appointed by Phillip II of 
Macedón to be tutor to his son (later called Alexander 
the Great). Aristotle founded and was a teacher of the 
Lyceum (or Peripatos) in Athens, 335-323 B.C.E. In 323 
B.C.E., he retired to Chalcis upon death of his guardian, 
Alexander the Great. He is the founder of the systematic 
study of symbols and logic and theory of symbolism 
which enabled him to develop logic as a science. He 
collected facts about the natural world around him through 
personal observation. These he then recorded in a series of 
monographs which were handed down through manuscript 
until the invention of printing. Aristotle, as a teacher, had 
great influence on his students, with his ideas and ideas 
attributed to him, becoming the cornerstone of western 
science and philosophy for one and a half millennia.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. The 

Lapidarius was the first lapidary printed after the 
invention of mechanical printing, and this is the second 
book printed at Merseberg. It is attributed to Aristotle 
being called the "Lapidarius et Liber de physionomia 
of Aristotle," but was composed long after his death 
because the text refers to more recent authorities such 
as Rasis and Albertus Magnus, and alludes to the 
mountains of Lombardy, St. Gotthard, a castle in 
Saxony, and to the river Saale which flows in Franconia 
and is called the Christian Saale, and that which 
descends towards Saxony and is known as the pagan 
Saale. It is a work entirely devoted to precious stones 
and physiognomy, "written in honor of Wenzel II, king 
of the Bohemians" [1266-1305]. The manuscript is 
preservered as a fifteenth- century text in the Public 
Library, Bern (MS. 513) as an anonomous physiognomy. 
It is an entirely different text from the Lapidary of 
Aristotle published by Julius Ruska at Heidelberg in 
1912 [which see next entry]. 

The work is divided into three parts. In the 
first is treated the Lapidarius of Aristotle in the new 
translation from the Greek with all the other lapidaries 
and their statements as to the colors, virtues, and place 
of generation of each stone. The second part describes 
how the virtues of precious stones are increased and 
altered according to diverse situations, such as wearing 
them on the finger or in the armpit, or combining them 
with other things and engraving characters on them. 
The third part is devoted to physiognomy itself. 

The printing of this work has been assigned to the 
printer Lukas Brandis [see note below]. 

Lukas Brandis. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German 

printer. In 1475, Brandis published at Lübeck a world 
history, which was the first title published in this city.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. The first

of De Anima, Metaphysica, De Ccelo, De Generatione, 
Meteorológica, Parva Naturalia, S¿ Physica appeared 
between 1472 and 1474 from the press of Laurentius 
Canozius in Padua. The Meteora (often spelled 
with an 'h', Metheora) presents in three books an 
investigation of "things aloft," and includes studies of 
the stars, comets, winds, the lower atmostphere, and 
then proceeds to an account of related phenomena 
like weather, tides, earthquakes, climatic changes. A 
fourth book is concerned with chemical change and 
the properties of matter and bares some measure in 
mineralogy. Ten diagrams illustrate the text and a map 
summarizes Aristotle's views on the habitable zones of 
the earth.

Incipit Leaf of Aristotle's Opera, 1472-4 

The fourth book of the Meteorológica occupies 
a strange position in the list of the Stagirite's works. 
The first three books are concerned with meteorological 
phenomena as explained by the actions and affectivities 
of the moist and dry exhalations, and all such 
phenomena are ascribed to these agencies. Moreover, at 
the end of the third book a promise is made to furnish a 
study of the exhalations as they occur inside the earth. 
There two classes of matter are to be discussed, those 
bodies that are mined and those that are quarried. 
But the promised discussion nowhere appears in the 
extant works of Aristotle. However, around 1200 a.D. 
a fourth book began to appear in the manuscripts of 
the Meteorológica. It writing was such that it was 
accepted as a genuine work of the master, but research 
in the early 20th century show conclusively that this 
fourth book is actually the "De Mineralibus" authored 
by AviCENNA. 

Avicenna's work is partly a direct translation and 
partly a résumé of passages in from Avicenna's Kitâb 
al-shifâ' (Book of the remedy). It was translated by 
Alfred of Sareshel in the 13th century. On the surface 
it describes the formation of minerals and mountains. 
From a scientific point of view, Avicenna's opinions 
on the formation of stone, rocks, and mountains are 
remarkably interesting in that they show an astonishing 
insight into the geological process. He is clear and 
concise in his remarks on the nature of minerals and in 
particular is ruthless in his criticism of the alchemists 
and their attempt to transmute the base metals into

gold. 

In this the first printing of all four books 
of Aristotle's Meterologica there is contained a 
commentary by Averröes [see note below] on Book IV 
only. 

Averröes. (BORN: Cordova, Spain, 1126; DIED: 

Morocco, 1198) Arabian philosopher, astronomer & writer on 
jurisprudence. Averröes (Arabic: Abul Walid Mahommed 
Ibn Achmed, Ibn Mahommed Ibn Rushd) was educated 
in his native city, where his father and grandfather 
had held the office of cadi (judge in civil affairs) and 
had played an important part in the political history 
of Andalusia. He devoted himself to jurisprudence, 

medicine, and mathematics, as well as to philosophy and 
theology. Under the Califs Abu Jacub Jusuf and his 
son, Jacub Al Mansur, he enjoyed extraordinary favor 
at court and was entrusted with several important civil 
offices at Morocco, Seville, and Cordova. Later he fell 
into disfavor and was banished with other representatives 
of learning. Shortly before his death, the edict against 
philosophers was recalled. Many of his works in logic 
and metaphysics had, however, been consigned to the 
flames, so that he left no school, and the end of the 
dominion of the Moors in Spain, which occurred shortly 
afterwards, turned the current of Averoism completely into 
Hebrew and Latin channels, through which it influenced 
the thought of Christian Europe down to the dawn of the 
modern era. Averoes' great medical work, "Culliyyat" 
(of which the Latin title "Colliget" is a corruption) was 
published as the tenth volume in the Latin edition of 
Aristotle's works, Venice, 1527. His "Commentaries" on 
Aristotle, his original philosophical works, and his treatises 
on theology have come down to us either in Latin or Hebrew 
translations.

Secret is Secret orum 

One of the chief characteristics of medieval literature is 
the degree to which anonymous and pseudonymous texts 
were diffused and read. The most striking example is 
the immense literature in a variety of languages which 
surrounds Alexander the Great's teacher, the philosopher 
Aristotle, to whom were attributed many different works 
with little or no claim to authenticity. In addition to the 
approximately forty genuine Aristotelian works known in 
Latin or vernacular versions during the Middle Ages, there 
were more than a hundred other works attributed to the 
master at some time during the same centuries. Some 
of the Latin versions are based upon Greek texts already 
attributed to Aristotle in Antiquity, others derive from 
Hebrew or Arabic roots, while others again seem to be 
original Latin works which became attached to the name 
of Aristotle at some time in their history. The most widely 
diffused of all these works is the one which bears the Latin 
title Secretum Secretorum. It enjoyed immense influence and 
the widest circulation from at least the tenth (and quite 
probably significantly before) to the seventeenth century, 
with more localized influence enduring even longer.

Aristotle 



Not all of the Secretis Secretorum éditons published 
under Aristotle's name contain the tract on mineralogy. In 
fact, apparently none of the dozen or so incunubula editions 
appear to include it. The first appearance of the work in 
a published edition of the Secretis Secretorum occurs in the 
1501 edition. 

245. Latin, 1501 [First edition].

Hectoris. / Anno. dñi. 1501 ... 26 / octob / Printer's

VERY RARE. Edited by Alexandri Achillini [see 
note below], this text contains seven treatises on 
medicine and philosophy: Secreta secretorum; De signis 
aquarum, ventorum et tempestatum; De mineralibus; 
Alexander Aphrodisei de intellectu; Averoes de 
beatitudine anime; Alexandri Achillini de universalibus 
and Alexandri Macedonis ad Aristotelem de mirabilibus 
Indie. Four of these are pseudo- Aristotelian works, 
which were well known since the 13th century or 
earlier. The Secreta secretorum is here present in 
the translation of Philip of Tripoli; the De signis 
aquarum, ventorum et tempestatum on weather signs, 
was translated in the 13th century by Bartholomew 
of Messina; the third work by the pseudo- Aristotle 
is De mineralibus on gems; the fourth Alexandri 
Macedonis ad Aristotelem de mirabilibus Indie is a 
fictitious letter by Alexander the Great to his teacher 
Aristotle, describing the wonders of India and the East. 
Three other similar 'Indian tractates' are known, all 
of them connected with the romance of Alexander 
the Great at various points in history. All four of 
them were accepted during the later Middle Ages as 
reliable literary portraits of the Indians, especially 
of the Brahmans. They originated in the European 
culture, and became sources for later tellers and writers 
of fables. The three remaining treatises in the present 
work consist of a work by Alexander of Aphrodisias on 
the intellect, another by Averroes on the beauty of the 
soul, and a work by Achillini himself on universais. 

The tract, "De Mineralibus" , is based upon a 
manuscript translation made at the end of the 12th 
century by Alfred the Englishman [see note below] of 
Avicenna's work on minerals. 

The origin of the Secret o f Secrets is veiled in 
obscurity. All known versions go back to an Arabic 
original, Kitab Sirr al-'asr, r, of which the earliest extant 
fragment can be dated A.D. 941. The work itself claims, 
in the Proem, to have been translated from Greek into 
Syriac and from Syriac into Arabic by Yahya ibn-al- 



Bitriq, a well-known ninth-century translator active in 
the period when the largest number of works was being 
translated from Greek into Arabic. While it is doubtful, 
though not impossible, that there was a Greek original, 
it is clear that the extant versions contain a good deal 
of Greek material, including a certain amount which 
derives from genuine Aristotelian doctrine. It also, 
however, contains much which certainly is traceable to 
Middle Eastern Islamic sources. 

In structure the work takes the form of an 
extended letter from Aristotle to Alexander the Great, 
which was sent to the king while he was engaged in 
conquering Persia. It is thus parallel to a number of 
other extant letters, which purport to be epistolory 
exchanges between the two eminent figures, of which 
several exist in Greek. The Secret, as it has come down 
to us, evidently underwent a long period of gestation. 
It probably originated as a 'Mirror for Princes', a 
familiar medieval literary form in which a wise man 
(Aristotle) offers moral and political advice to an 
eminent political leader (Alexander). It thus contains 
much specific advice on how the king as handled the 
many requiremcents of his office. For example, it deals 
with how the king is to choose and manage his advisors, 
what diet he should follow, how he should dress, 
etc. The Secret, as it has come down to us contains 
much else besides. Probably through a long period of 
accretion it gradually became a sort of encyclopedic 
work comprising, in addition to its original moral and 
political component, much miscellaneous information 
on occult and pseudo-scientific subjects. Thus there are 
sections of astrology, physiognomy, alchemy, and magic, 
in addition to rather detailed medical sections. 

All known versions derive from one of two 
Arabic versions, which are extent in a total of about 
fifty manuscripts. One of the versions is divided 
into either seven or eight books and is known as 
the Short Form in Manzalaoui's classification, while 
the other is in ten books and is known as the 
Long Form. It was ultimately translated into many 
different languages including Hebrew, Turkish, Latin, 
Russian, Czech, Croatian, German, Icelandic, English, 
Castillian, Catalan, Portuguese, French, and Italian. In 
some of these languages there are several versions, and 
in English there are as many as nine, though not all 
of them are complete. The Latin versions undoubtedly 
had the greatest fortuna and were the basis for later 
translations into European vernacular languages. The 
Russian translation, however, is from a Hebrew version. 

There are two basic Latin versions, one made in 
the mid-twelfth century by John of Seville (Joannes 
Hispalensis) and extant in some hundred and fifty 
copies, the other made during the first half of 
the thirteenth century by Philippus Tripolitanus and 
surviving in more than three hundred and fifty 
manuscripts. These versions, both in their Latin form 
and in the many vernacular translations which came 
from them, were exceedingly widely read for more than 
four centuries in many different intellectual contexts. 
Among the major figures of the High Middle Ages who

Aristotle 



read the work carefully are Albert the Great and Roger 
Bacon, who wrote a Latin commentary on the Secret. 
Owing to its encyclopedic nature it was of interest to 
readers in many different fields ranging from political 
theory to alchemy, from physiognomy to popular moral 
philosophy. 

Though much work has been done previously on 
many aspects of the Secret, we have by no means 
reached the stage where one can confidently place 
the work with its myriad ramifications in its proper 
historical context. Because it was transmitted in so 
many diverse cultures and in so many different linguistic 
and structural forms, to understand fully its overall 
historical position is beyond the capabilities of any 
single scholar. There are many unsolved problems 
of all sorts, ranging from the work's sources to the 
precise relationship between the various versions in 
many different languages. 

Alessandro Achillini. (BORN: Bologna, Italy, 

20 October 1463; DIED: Bologna, Italy, 1512) Italian 
philosopher & classical scholar. Achillini studied philosophy 
and medicine at the university of Bologna, where he 
became a celebrated lecturer both in medicine and in 
philosophy. From 1506 to 1508, he also taught at Padua. 
For his commentaries and editorial work, he was styled the 
second Aristotle. His philosophical works were printed in 
one volume folio, at Venice, in 1508, and reprinted with 
considerable additions in 1545, 1551 and 1568. He was also 
distinguished as an anatomist. 

Alfred the Englishman. (BORN: ; DIED: ) 

English translator. Also called Alfred of Sareshel and Alfred 
Angilicus, was one of the English scholastics who was 
especially important as a translator of (originally) Greek 
works from Arabic to Latin. His renderings of Aristotle's 
works occurred during the late 12th century.

RARE. Edited by Franciscus Maria Storella [see note 
below], this is the best edited text of Aristotle's Secretum 
before modern scholarship. It is a rare edition, with 
only a handful of copies known to be extant. Moreover, 
there are two variants, one having a Naples and the other 
a Venetian imprint. The work is dedicated to Ettore 
Pignatelli, Duke of Monteleone, and contains a detailed 
preface, and annotations to the text. 

The most significant improvement of the work is that 
Storella attempted in some measure to create a complete 
and critical text. He incorporated the information found 
in the Achillini edition of 1501 (reprinted 1516, 1520, and 
1528). He also speaks explicitly of the abbreviated edition 
published by Franciscus Taegius at Pavia in 1516. Storella 
also claims to have used several manuscripts in preparing 
the text. However, Schmitt (1982) says: "On the whole 
Storella's efforts to improve the text seem to have been 
somewhat misguided and not really based on any overall 
understanding of how to go about it. Nevertheless, he made 
an attempt, and the text he printed was more complete 
than previous ones." 

Franciscus Maria Storella. (BORN: Alessano, near Lecce, 
Italy, cl525; DIED: Naples, Italy, 1575) Italian classical 
scholar. Storella took a degree at Padua in 1549 and 
later taught at the universities of Salerno and Naples. 
He published a number of philosophical works, usually 
commentaries on ancient authorities.

introduction to rocks and minerals. It describes 
the basic properties of rocks and minerals. In 

conjunction with this work, a "Complete Student 
Mineral Collection" could also be obtained from the 
author.

VERY SCARCE. A popular and many times 
reprinted systematic Italian mineralogy. The author 
provides in the first half of the book sections which 
provide an overview of the science, definitions of 
terminology, descriptions of the crystal systems and 
crystal morphology, physical and chemical properties 
of minerals and the reasons why minerals are organized 
into the chemical-crystal systematic classification. The 
last half of the book is devoted to a descriptive 
mineralogy providing the standard information. An 
overall index finishes the text of the work. At the end 
are 40 chromolithographie plates showing a multitude 
of mineral specimens. These depictions are somewhat 
crude, but none the less they attempt to be faithful 
renderings of the specific species.

Avicenna (Arabic: Abu 'All al-Husain ibn 'Abdallah 
ibn Sïna) is the most famous scientist of Islam and one of 
the most famous of all races, places and times. He authored 
a great number of treatises in prose and verse, most of them 
in Arabic and a few in Persian. His philosophy roughly 
follows that of the Aristotelian tradition as modified by 
Muslim theology. His Qãniín fî-1-tibb (Canon of Medicine) 
is an immense encyclopedia of medicine, condensing the 
whole of ancient and Muslim knowledge, which had wide 
influence during the Middle Ages.

the European name given to JÃBIR IBN Hayyan was 
allegedly an 8th-century Arab alchemist whose name is 
attached to hundreds of writings ranging from the 9th to 
13th centuries. Although he did not author all of these 
works and in fact may not even have actually lived, the 
books authored in his name were the most advanced and 
influential alchemical texts of Islam. Many works later 
attributed to him, including the Summa Perfectionis, 
most probably were written by a later alchemist who 
wrote under Geber's reputation. This work that may 
be only translations of other Arabic texts became 
incorporated into Jãbirs corpus, the influence of which 
became the greatest of any alchemical writings in the

SCARCE. The "De mineralibus," appended, in 
medieval Arabic-Latin versions, to the fourth book 
of the Meteorológica of Aristotle. It is "partly a 
direct translation and partly a résumé" of passages in 
Avicenna's Kitâb al-shifâ' (Book of the remedy), made 
by Alfred of Sareshel. — Introduction. 

The Avicenna contains a Latin Text, the Arabic 
Text, and an English translation, with considerable 
critical and introductory material. The text claims 
to be a book of Aristotle's "Physics," and on the 
surface it describes the formation of minerals and 
mountains, though the Arabic title, translated "The 
Book of the Remedy" points to certain secrets which 
must be embedded within. 

From a scientific point of view, Avicenna's 
opinions on the formation of stone, rocks, and 
mountains are remarkably interesting in that they show 
an astonishing insight into the geological process. He 
is clear and concise in his remarks on the nature of 
minerals and in particular is ruthless in his criticism of 
the alchemists and their attempt to transmute the base 
metals into gold.

Avicenna's Mineralibus 

The text of Avicenna's Mineralibus was not generally 
recognized as his during the Middle Ages but was 
included instead with the writings of Aristotle. Therefore, 
when mechanical printing was introduced, the text was 
included with the Meteorológica and Secretum Secretorum 
of Aristotle.

Babington 



In 1797, Babington began practicing medicine in 
London. He also was associated with Guy's Hospital, 
where he lectured on chemistry. Babington was a founding 
member of the Geological Society of London, of which he 
was also elected president in 1822. He was elected a Fellow 
of the Royal Society of London in 1805, as well as a Fellow 
of the Royal College of Physicians, and founder of the 
Hunterian Society in London. The mineral "Babingtonite" 
was named after him by A. Levy in 1824.

earths, metals and inflammables. An appendix classifies

VERY SCARCE. In the advertisement, Babington 
writes that he wishes this work to be considered 
a continuation of his A Systematic Arrangement of 
Minerals (1st ed., London, 1795). Like its predecessor, 
A New System of Mineralogy also uses the mineral 
collection Babington had purchased from the Earl of 
Bute on which to form the basis for creating the 
classification. However, where the earlier publication 
contained a synopsis of the classification scheme 
with essentially no mineral descriptions, this work 
is essentially the expanded descriptive catalog of the 
specimens arranged according to the system. 

The work is dedictated to the mineral collector 
Sir John St Aubyn [see note below]. Babingtion's 
obligation to Baron Ignaz Edler von Born is expressed 
on the title page. In crystallization he was influenced 
by Jean-Baptiste Louis Rome de l'Isle, while most 
of his descriptions correspond with those of Johann 
Friedrich Wilhelm Widenmann and Ludwig August 
Emmerling. Richard Kirwan was relied upon for the 
chemical properties and analysis. Babington defines his 
classes, orders, genera, and species upon the chemical 
qualities, and his varieties on the external characters of 
minerals. 

Sir John St Aubyn. (BORN: 1758; DIED: 1839) English 
politician. St Aubyn was educated at Westminster. He 
became sheriff of Cornwall in 1781, and a member of 
parliment from Truro, Cornwall in 1784. He was a Fellow of 
the Linnean and Royal Societies. His portrait was painted 
by Reynolds. St Aubyn purchased William Babington 's 
mineral collection for the considerable sum of £3,000. 
After several subsequent acquisitions, including in 1799 
Richard Greene's collection for Л00, St Aubyn donated 
the bulk of the collection to the Civil and Military Library 
at Davenport in 1834. Through the years it was moved 
several times, eventually ending up in Plymouth in 1924. 
There the remains of it are today in the Plymouth City 
Museum.

VERY RARE. The authorship of this catalog 
is attributed to Babington based upon a manuscript 
notation in the British Library copy. It describes a rich 
and varied collection of minerals, "selected with much 
Science and Expence from several valuable Collections, 
especially the well-known Butean ... the Museum 
Geversianum and of Professor Gaubius in Holland ... 
together with an interesting Series of Specimens from 
Mont Blanc, collected by Mr. Voigt" (Address). The 
catalog follows the classification scheme outlined in 
Babinton's previously published works [see previous 
entries] . 

The whole collection is described as being 
contained in three Mahogany cabinets, each 6 feet tall, 
2.5 feet wide and 1.5 feet deep, with 42 drawers in each 
cabinet. Specimens are fully cataloged including the 



country locality. The collection was truly world wide in 
its nature, and the result of great enthusiasurn on the 
part of the collector. Unfortunately, no reference has 
been found to specifically identify who this individual 
was. However, based upon the shear size and variety 
of the collection, the compiler suspects it to be the 
product of the famous gentleman mineralogist William 
Withering [see note below]. 

William Withering. (BORN: Wellington, Shropshire, 
England, 28 March 1741; DIED: Larches near Birmingham, 
England, 6 October 1799) English physician. Withering 
graduated with his M.D. from the University of Edinburgh 
in 1766. In 1774, he then opened a medical practice in 
Birmingham. He was the first to describe native barium 
carbonate, later named after him as the mineral species, 
witherite. Withering is best known as a botanist, and his 
work on the foxglove is a classic. He was elected a Fellow 
of the Royal Society of London in 1784. He had collections 
of both minerals and plants.

BAIER, Johann Jakob. (BORN: Jena, Germany, 14 
June 1677; DlED: Altorf, Switzerland, 14 July 1735) 
German physician & naturalist. 

Baier was the father of FERDINAND JACOB BAIER.. 
He was educated at Jena and Halle, becoming professor 
of medicine at the University of Altorf, Switzerland in 
1704. In 1731, he was appointed personal physician to 
the Emperor. Baier was elected a member and ultimately 
president of the Leopoldina Academy [Academy of Natural 
Scientists].

RARE. A classic work on the fossils and some min- 
erals found in the region surrounding the city of Nürn- 
berg in Germany. Baier's Oryctographia Norica was a 
new, systematic attempt to organize the natural min- 
eral objects he found around his home city into a co- 
herent classification. Baier did not believe in sweeping 
theoretical pronouncments, instead the specimens are 
fully described with many of the most interesting fossils 
depicted on the finely engraved plates. By this means 
he laid the foundation for the investigation of Jurassic 
fauna and of scientific paleontology in general and help 
disprove the notion that fossils were simple jests of na- 
ture. He clearly indicates that these fossils were created 
in the single act of the Deluge, which he considered the 
only great change since the Creation. The foundation 
Baier thus created, helped prepare the path for subse- 
quent researchers to see the world differently and look 
past the myth and create through thorough observation 
the science of geology. 

The frontispiece depicts a beach with putti pre- 
senting Cybele with baskets of ammonites, fossil echin- 
oderms, belemnites, etc., while Neptune rides on a shell 
on the sea surrounded by naiads bearing baskets of 
shells; i.e. the affinities of the living and fossil forms. 
This and the six plates (which figure some 300 fossils) 
are the work of J.G. Puschner. 

Baier clearly states in his forword that supplemen- 
tal volumes will appear to expand on the Oryctographia 
Norica, but time considerations in his life only allowed 
him to publish the rare 1730 supplement. However, at 
the time of his death, he had left material enough to al- 
low his son Ferdinand to issue an additional supplemen- 
tal volume in 1757. The publication of this, probably 
caused enough interest that the following year, 1758, 
Ferdinand issued what should be considered a rare sec- 
ond edition of the Oryctographia Norica, with a rework- 
ing of his father's original text, and a small number of 
plates. 

German, 1958: An excellent modern German 

translation with extensive commentary of Oryktographia 
Norica and its 1730 supplemental volume appears 
in Erlanger Geologische Abhandlungen, 29 (1958), [1]- 
133 p. Besides a good introduction, there is included 
biographical information, much data of a historical 
interest, reproductions of the title pages, text figures and 
reproductions of the plates. 

Ferdinand Jakob Baier. (BORN: Altorf, Germany, 13 
February 1707; DIED: Ansbach, Germany, 23 October 1788) 
German physician. Baier was the son of JOHANN JACOB 
BAIER. He had a medical practice in Nurnburg, Germany. 
He was elected a member, later becoming president, of the 
Leopoldina Academy [Academy of Natural Scientists].

English geologist. 

Bakewell made extensive mineralogical and geological 
surveys in England and Ireland, after which he lectured and 
exhibited sections of rock formations and the beginnings of 
a geological map of Britain. From 1820 to '22, Bakewell 
traveled throughout France and Switzerland, extending his 
geological surveys. His published account of these travels, 
published in 1823, was a popular work with the public. He 
invented a safety furnace for preventing explosions in coal 
mines.

SCARCE. In the preface, Bakewell gives an 
overview of the progress of mineralogy in Europe, 
emphasising the contributions of René Just Haüy and 
Abraham Gottlob Werner. He indicates this work 
should be used by students of mineralogy in England 
to help acquaint them with the science. The text is 
arranged into five books. Book I (pp. 1-198) covers 
preliminary observations and introductory theory in 10 
chapters. Included is an overview of the classification 
system of Haüy that is used within the descriptive 
portion with some modification. Book II (pp. 199-465) 
reviews the essential characters of the earthy minerals, 
including on pages 202-219 a table of minerals arranged 
by specific gravity and on pages 220-231 a similar table 
arranged according to their hardness. An appendix to 
Book II takes up pages 466-498. Book III (pp. 499- 
616) concerns the metallic species. Book IV (pp. 617- 
634) describes the combustible minerals, and Book V 
(pp. 635-642) arranges the saline minerals. The five 
folding plates, numbered I-V are unsigned and mostly 
show crystal drawings.

Barba 



BARBA, Alvaro Alonso. (BORN: Lepe, Huelva, Spain, 
15 November 1569; DlED: Potosí, Peru [now Bolivia], 
1662) Spanish theologian. 

Barba entered church and became priest at Tarabuco, 
South America, cl609. He resided at Lepas, Peru, 
1617. Then he became pastor of St. Bernards at Potosi, 
Columbia, a rich mining district. While there, Barba began 
studying the minerals, mining, and refining processes of 
the mines in the district. The whole of his knowledge he 
recorded in his Arte De Los Metales (1st ed., Madrid, 1640), 
which was kept as secret as possible by the Spaniards. He 
was the probable discoverer of process for extraction of 
gold, silver and copper by boiling ore with salt solution 
and mercury in copper vessel, cl607.

VERY RARE. The first significant book in Spanish 
on metals, minerals and mines of the New World. As a 
handbook on the mineral riches of the new territories, 
this title was banned by the Inquisition and severely 
limited in this its first printing, and consequently is 
a rarely encountered title. This book is complete 
with descriptions, practical directions, explanations, 
and illustrations of equipment for smelting gold, silver 
and copper. It was the first significant treatise on 
metals and minerals written in Spanish, and one of 
the few seventeenth century work's that was largely 
orginal. Barba advocated the laboratory control of the 
entire plant process, as well as computation of all costs 
associated with metal recovery. He describes in-depth 
his newly invented process of treating silver and gold 
ores with a mercury amalgamation in a copper vessel, 
to enhance metal recovery. It describes the fabulous 
wealth of the Spanish possessions in the New World, 
and as such the Spanish government attempted to keep 
Barba's book and methods secret. However, in 1669, 
the English ambassador, the Earl of Sandwich got a 
hold of a copy and published an English translation in 
1670 that resulted in a large number of editions and 
translations. This work describes the amalgamation 
process used in Potosi, giving detailed accounts of 
ores and minerals of South America. Also covers the 
generation and origin of metals. The illustation shows 
a balance in a glass case, the first such illustration. 

The editions of 1630 and 1639, recorded by many 
bibliographies, are probably due to printer's error for 
1640, which is the first appearance of Barba's work.

Rare. Barba's scarce original text and illustrations 
on mining and metallurgy were reprinted here for the first 
time, almost ninety years after their first appearance. The 
publisher Francisco Assensio, in his dedicatory remarks, 
proclaims his purpose in issuing Barba's text is to assure 
the "perpetuity of its fame." Appended to Barba's work at 
page 192 is the second printing of another earlier work on 
the ancient mines of the Spanish empire, Alonso Carrillo 
y Laso 's Tratado de las Antiguas Minas de España (1st ed., 
Madrd, 1624).

Alonso Carrillo Lasso. (BORN: cl582; DIED: Córdoba,

than he was born the son of an illustrious lawyer and writer, 
Don Fernando.

Rare. Translated by the Right Honorable 

Edward, Earl of Sandwich from Arie De Los Metales 
(1st ed., Madrid, 1640). As ambassador to Spain, 
the Earl managed to obtain a copy of the supressed 
Spanish original of Barba's important text on mining 
and metallurgy in the New World. He translated the 
first two of the five books, and had them published 
as two separate volumes. Unfortunately, the translator 
lacked technical knowledge, and the text is considerably 
flawed. None the less, it was this translation that was 
reprinted several times and used as the foundation for 
the German and French editions.

SCARCE. English translation by Ross E. Douglass and

1729). "Our aim has been to reproduce faithfully the 
phraseology of the author" (Preface). This is the only 
English translation of Barba's complete text. The 1670 
translation was only of the first two books and is of 
little value since the Earl of Sandwich lacked technical 
knowledge. 

Mountagu Edward, First Earl of Sandwich. (BORN: 1625; 
DIED: 1672) English nobility & ambassador. Sandwich was 
an admiral and general at sea, who distinguished himself at 
Naseby and the storming of Bristol in 1645. He resigned his 
command in 1659, but was reappointed in 1660. He sailed 
to Holland to convey Charles II to England. He was created 
Earl of Sandwich in 1660. He negotiated the marriage 
between Charles II and Catherine of Braganza, receiving 
the surrender of Tangier and conducting the queen to 
England in 1661. In 1666, he was appointed ambassador 
extraordinary to Madrid, where he successfully concluded a 
treaty with Spain. He was second in command of the fleet 
at the outbreak of war with the Dutch in 1672, and was 
subsequently blown up with his ship, when the fleet was 
surprised at Solebay. His body is buried at Westminster 
Abbey.

SCARCE. This is a collection of three separate 
treatises concerned with mineralogy, mining and met- 
allurgy that had each previously been separately pub- 
lished. The first edition of this collected edition was 
published in 1738. In 1739 and again in 1740, to meet 
public demand, the work was again reissued. Although 
not indicated in the text, chapters 1-60 are a translation 
of the first two parts of Barbas treatise and chapters 61- 
72 are a reprint of Plattes work. 

[A]. Albaro Alonso Barba. In 1640, the Arte De 
Los Metales was published at Madrid in a very small 
edition. It is the first description of the silver mines, 
minerals and metallurgical processes of the New World, 
primarily in the area of Bolivia and Peru. Contained 
therein are descriptions of how the rich veins formed 
and their look, taste and smell. Various properties of 
metals and stones are discussed together with observa- 
tions on how other veins might be located, most partic- 
ularly gold and silver. Copper, iron, lead, tin, mercury 
are also described. The work then goes into the vari- 
ous methods for the refining of the ores to pure metals, 
including the importance of sorting, grinding, roasting, 
and fluxes used when heating. The most important ob- 
servation is Barbas announcement of a process for the 
extraction of gold, silver and copper by boiling ore with 
salt solution and mercury in a copper vessel. This was 
a discovery that allowed the mines of the New World 
to operate with greater efficiency in filling the Spanish 
treasury. 

The Spanish government considered any publica- 
tion dealing with the New World to be a state secret — 
Barbas work especially so, since it dealt with the min- 
eral wealth. Consequently, to keep the secret better, 
the first edition of 1640 was printed in a very small edi- 
tion. In addition, the penalty for the unauthorized sale 
of a copy of Barbas 1640 work was a certain and painful 
death by the Inquisition. However, this did not stop the 
Earl of Sandwich from smuggling a copy out of Spain, 
and publishing the first English edition in 1670. Proba- 
bly since the English Crown did not want to provoke a 
diplomatic incident with Spain, this English edition was 
also published in a small number. It was not until the 
translation of Barbas work appeared in these collected 
editions, that it became available to a large readership.

[В]. Gabriel Plattes. Plattes work, A Discovery of 
all Sorts of Mines from Gold to Coal was originally pub- 
lished as a very rare separate book in London in 1639 
under the title, A Discovery of Subterraneall Treasure, 
viz. Of all manner of Mines and Mineralls, from Gold 
to the Coale. However, it is far more common to find 
it bound within an edition of these collected works. It 
is an interesting treatise on mineralogy, and considered 
the first useful text in English on metallurgical matters. 
The short tract contains a wealth of factual information 
illustrated by the authors own experiments. The work 
also is interesting for its account of the gold and silver 
mines in New England, Virginia and the Bermudas, as 
well as other parts of America. Besides dealing in great 
detail with assaying, the author provides a recipe by 
which he claims to have produced pure gold, but at a 
cost greater than the value obtained. One chapter is 
devoted to all kinds of vegetable dyes, which Plattes 
preferred to mineral dyes. 

[C]. Thomas Houghton. First published in 1681 
under the title, fiara Avis in Terris: or, the Com-pleat 
Miner, this work was reprinted as an independent entity 
several times before it appeared in this collected edition. 
This book is important as the first published statement 
on English mining laws and customs as used by the lead 
miners in Derbyshire. Houghton claims of the second 
book, "the art of dialling and levelling grooves, a thing 
greatly desired by all miners, being a subject never be- 
fore written by any." A dictionary clarifying mining 
terms is appended. 

Reissue, 1739: A collection of scarce and valuable 
Treatises upon Metals, Mines, and Minerals ... Part I. and 
II. Containing the Art of Metals. Written originally in Spanish. 
By ... Albaro Alonso Barba, Director of Mines at Potasi, in 
the Spanish West-Indies. Translated by the Earl of Sandwich, 
in the year 1669. Part III. Containing that Invaluable Piece of 
Mr. G. Plattes, viz. A Discovery of all Sorts of Mines from 
Gold to Coal. Part IV. Houghton's Compleat Miner. London, 
1739. 8°: xii, 215, [4], [66] p., illust., one plate. 

Gabriel Plattes. (BORN: 1600?; DIED: London, 

England, 1655?) English scientist. Practically nothing is 
known of Plattes. He is thought to be of Dutch extraction, 
and he was an author on agricultural subjects. His notable 
work on the subject is A Discovery of Infinite Treasure 
(London, 1639). He was an original thinker and thorough 
scientist, who insisted on practical experimentation to 
confirm hypothesis. Though described as the "original 
genius in husbandry," he was neglected in his lifetime. 
Despite his poverty, he refused to beg for money and 
eventually died of starvation. His body was found in the 
street. 

Thomas Houghton. (BORN: ; DIED: ) English 

author. An English writer on mining and legal matters.

RARE. Translation from Barba's text contained 
in A Collection of Scarce and Valuable Treatises 
upon Metals, Mines, and Minerals (London, 1740). 
This is the earliest work on mining and minerals 
published at a colonial American press, and as such 
has interest as the earliest known book on mining, 
metallurgy and mineralogy published in the land that 
would become The United States of America. In this 
instance, the book was published at the famous press 
of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, known as the Brudershaft, 
which operated in 1763, and published only two works. 
The text consists of two parts. The second, has its own 
title page: "Das zweyte Buch, von den Metallen, darin 
gelehrt wird der gemeine Weg, wie man das Silber durch 
quecksilber reiniget: dazu etliche neue Regeln gefügt sid 
darin gedachte Arbeit mehr erläutert wird."

set out the names and properties of hundreds of mineral 
species arranged in a classification. An index at the end 
allows easy lookup of individual species.

names afterwards applied by Linné. The work is rare."

VERY SCARCE. The author set of for Guiana at the 
end of the year 1721 and left in 1724. He explored the 
rivers Kourou and the Orapus while studying flora and 
fauna and the customs of the inhabitants. The work 
also deals with sugar trade and with the Negro slaves 
and the various native tribes and includes details on the 
commerce and trade. This is the first important work 
on Guiana and formed the major source of the 18th 
century knowledge. It is distinct from the author's Essai 
sur l'Histoire Naturelle de la. France Equioxials and is 
not another edition thereof. Although interesting in 
many subjects, this appears to have little of interest to 
mineralogy.

RARE. Barreré made a special study of the origin 
and formation of figured stones (i.e., fossils) that he 
had discovered in the Pyrenees. This work contains his 
insightful observations. For example Barreré supposes 
that the reason fossil shells are found on the tops of the 
highest Alps and the rocks of the Pyrenees is because 
the land had formerly formed a basin in a great ancient 
sea. The two engraved plates show good depictions of 
figured stones and fossils.

VERY RARE. This is Bartholin's work treatise 
on the shape of ice crystals which speculates on the 
internal structure of snow crystals. This work has 
sometimes incorrectly been called the earliest treatise 
on crystallography, because it precedes Boyles work 
on gems by eleven years. However, Kepler's Sterna 
Seu De Niue Sexángula. (Francofurti, 1611), which also 
discusses the shape of snow crystals, is much earlier still.

Rare. This is the first work after Avicenna to 
discuss refrigeration anesthesia. The Neapolitan surgeon 
Marco Aureliano Severino [1580-1656] reintroduced the 
use of snow and ice as an anesthetic agent in the 
seventeenth century, and his pupil Bartholin described 
Severinos methods in this work. Refrigeration anesthesia 
was employed successfully in amputations as late as the 
nineteenth century. Added to Bartholin's work is a treatise 
on the shape of ice crystals written by his younger brother 
Erasmus. Also included in this work is a bibliography of 
Thomas Bartholin's published works.

same time. The work essentially describes a wide range 
of experiments performed on Iceland spar, a variety 
of the mineral calcite. Beginning with descriptions of 
the rhornbohedral shape of the crystals, and noting 
that any pieces broken from a specimen are also 
rhornbohedral, the author continues his experiments 
to define the physical characteristics of the specimens. 
Included among these are observations of its relative 
hardness, of its tendency toward cleavage, of its ease of 
decomposition when treated with acid, and of its ability 
to hold an electric charge when rubbed or heated. The 
remainder of the book describes Bartholin's discovery of 
double refraction, i.e. the physical property of Iceland 
spar (and other substances) to split light rays such 
that two images are seen when an object is viewed 
through the crystal. The author questions the character 
of double refraction, including its behavior when the 
crystal is turned, its angle of refraction and its existence 
in other substances. Bartholin then postulates a theory 
to explain the phenomena, which is based on pairs of 
pores, existing along cleavage planes inside the crystal, 
reflecting "corpuscula" of light at different angles. 

Abridged English transi., 1671: Henry Oldenburg [see 
note below], secretary of the Royal Society of London, set 
about writing a translation of Bartholin's work. It was 
published as: "An Accompt of sundry Experiments made

Erasmus Bartholin, upon a crystal like Body sent to him

Henry Oldenburg. (BORN: Bremen, Germay, cl618; 
DIED: Charlton, near Greenwich, England, 5 September 
1677) English scientist. Oldenburg graduated from the 
University of Utrecht in 1641, and he matriculated at 
Oxford from 1657 to 1658. He taught in the Paedogogium 
of Bremen. Later he became a professor in the newly 
established University of Dorpat, in what is now Estonia. 
Although it is known that Oldenburg matriculated in the 
University of Utrecht in 1641, nothing is known with 
assurance about what he did during the following twelve 
years, but there is presumptive evidence that he was a 
tutor during these years. In 1656 he became tutor to 
Boyle's nephew, Richard Jones, later the third Viscount 
Ranelagh and first Earl of Ranelagh. Oldenburg made a 
profession of scientific administration. He founded a system 
of records in the Royal Society that is still followed, created 
an international correspondence of scientists, and founded 
the first scientific journal, The Philosophical Transactions of 
the Royal Society of London. Oldenburg began publishing in 
1665 the Philosophical Transactions, which were his personal 
enterprise, to make money, although he never made as 
much as he hoped. He also translated papers for the 
London Gazette. He also translated and published works 
from abroad. He translated at least two of Boyle's works 
into Latin, and he appears to have functioned effectively as 
the publisher for a number of Boyle's works. 

Karl Mieleitner. (BORN: Munich, Bavaria, Germany, 
31 March 1890; DIED: Munich, Bavaria, Germany, 15 March 
1923) German mineralogist & historian of mineralogy. Born 
the son of a shoemaker, Mieleitner became in 1913 assistant 
for the Bavarian state mineral collection at the University 
of Munich, where in 1919 he succeeded F. Grünlung 
as 'Konservator.' He was an enthusiastic and energetic 
worker, producing several papers within a few years. He 
developed an interest in the history of mineralogy and 
published before his early death German translations, with 
authoritative notes, of the old works of Steno, Bartholin 
and Cappeller.

BARTHOLOMAEUS ANGLICUS. (Born: England, 

cll90; DIED: Magdeburg, Germany?, cl250) English 
theologian & encyclopedia. 

An Englishman by birth he had been professor of 
theology at the University of Paris, when, in 1224 or 
1225, he entered the newly established Order of St. Francis 
in company with his countryman and fellow-professor of 
theology, Hayrno of Faversham, and two other professors 
of the same faculty. He continued his lectures at the 
claustral school until 1231, when he was sent to Magdeburg 
in Germany. There he took on the role as the new lector. 
Nothing definitive is known about the life of Bartholomäus 
after he left Paris in 1231. His life at Magdeburg was 
probably spent in teaching and reorganizing the Franciscan 
school there. The date of Bartholomäus' death is unknown, 
but it is thought that he died about the middle of the 
thirteenth century. He was formerly identified with a later 
Franciscan and Englishman, Bartholomaeus of Glanvilla, 
or Glaunvilla, who died about 1360, and to him the 
famous work De Proprietatibus Rerum was ascribed. Recent 
research places beyond doubt that the two men must 
be distinguished and that the authorship of the work in 
question must be attributed to the Magdeburg professor of 
1231, and that the Glanville descriptor should be removed 
from his name.

De Pr.oprietatibus Rerum, 1472 

capittulorurn bertholomei | anglici de jprietatibus reru" ; 
248, Blank. 

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. While older 
authorities give precedence to the Basel edition, printed 
by Ruppel, it can now be stated that this is the 
first printed edition of Bartholomaeus, since the early 
manuscript dates found in two Ruppel books have been 
shown to be forgeries, and as it now seems that Ruppel 
did not begin printing in Basel until after 1472. 

Besides being the first printed edition, this 
Cologne issue is important for its connection to William 
Caxton [see note below]. The Cologne city ledgers 
record that Caxton arrived in the city in July 1471 
(Birch) to learn the process and art of printing. In 1471, 
Johann Veldener [see note below] chose Bartholomaeus' 
encyclopedia as his first project, and accepted Caxton 
as his pupil. However, indications are that Caxton's 
role was considerably more important as a financier. 
"The necessary capital is more likely to have come 
from Caxton than Veldener who had only recently 
achieved independence by the establishment of his own 
printing office and who therefore would have been close 
to the limits of his financial capacity. Under these 
circumstances, would he have dared on his own to 
venture the publication of so large a book? There 
is the further possibility that Veldener got together 
the necessary funds by charging the Englishman for 
instruction in the art of printing" (Corsten). Thus this 
edition is the earliest example of Caxton's printing. 

De Proprietatibus Rerum was the most popular 



encyclopaedia of the thirteenth century, which has 
been called the age of encyclopaedias. The intellectual 
renaissance of the preceding century had stimulated a 
desire for learning. It was impossible for a large number 
of students to acquire first hand knowledge of every 
science and the universities could not accommodate all 
those who wished to learn. Therefore some means of 
spreading knowledge was required. The problem was 
solved by writing encyclopaedias that collected together 
the opinions of the best known authorities. These 
works varied in comprehensiveness and arrangement, 
but the educational aim was never forgotten. These 
books were to be used as textbooks and works of 
references for the preachers and scholars that did not 
have access to a library and who could not afford to 
collect one of their own. In fact, Bartholomaeus wrote 
his compilation primarily for the student of theology 
and for the preacher as he explains in the Prohemium. 

De Proprietatibus Rerurn was written as an 
ordered encyclopedia of all the sciences of the time: 
theology, philosophy, medicine, astronomy, chronology, 
zoology, botany, geography, mineralogy, are the 
subjects treated in this work. It is the first important 
encyclopedia written in the Middle Ages and the first 
in which the works of Greek, Arabian, and Jewish 
naturalists and medical writers, which had recently 
been translated from Arabic into Latin, were included 
as contributions. Aristotle, Hippocrates, Theophrastus, 
the Jew Isaac Medicus, the Arabian Haly, and other 
researchers are frequently quoted. Even in the age 
before mechanical printing, the De Proprietatibus 
Rerum enjoyed widespread popularity as is shown by 
the many dozens of manuscripts still in existence. In 
manuscript form, it was translated into five European 
languages: French, English, Spanish, Provençal and 
Italian. Thus, it had a widespread appeal to the general 
population and had a great influence on the cirriculum 
of the medieval university. 

Bartholomaeus based the structure of his book on 
the Etymologiarum Libri Duo written by the learned 
theologian, ISIDORE OF SEVILLE between 62.3 a.D. and 
633 A.D. The 20 sections found in Isidore are reduced 
and rearranged to 19 by Bartholomaeus; however, he 
follows his own method in compiling the observations 
and adheres to the accepted medieval form of quoting 
ancient authorities. Sprinkled throughout the text are 
his own observations that give the De Proprietatibus 
Rerum a unique flavor. 

The 19 books of Bartholomaeus' text are ordered 
thusly: (1) God, (2) Angels and Demons, (3) Of the 
Soul and Reason, (4) Of the Body's Essences, (5) The 
Human Body and Each of its Parts, (6) The Ages of 
Man (Family Life and Household Economy), (7) Of 
Infirmities and Medicines, (8) Of the World and the 
Heavenly Bodies (Cosmology and Astrology), (9) Of 
Time and the Divisions of Time, (10) The Material, 
Form, and Properties of the Elements, (11) Of the 
Air and its Natural Phenomena (Meteorology), (12) Of 
Winged Creatures, (13) Of Waters and Fish, (14) Of the 
Earth and its Features, (15) Of its Provinces (Political

and Economic Geography), (16) Mineralogy, including 
precious and semiprecious stones, sand, coal, Bezoar 
stones, etc., (17) On Plants and Trees (A Herbal), (18) 
Of Animals, and (19) On Non-Essential Characteristics 
(i.e., Colors, Tastes, Odors, etc.), and a Miscellany 
on Food, Drink, Eggs, Weights and Measures, Music, 
and Musical Instruments. This ordering which can 
be classified into four distinct sections suggests that 
Bartholomaeus carefully planned his work. 

The order of the De Proprietatibus Rerum is 
founded on a medieval logic of progression. The first 
three books form the first section with God, as the 
supreme creator and the prime moving force, with 
angles, demons and the soul all occupying the first 
position. Next comes the second part (books 4-7) 
devoted to the important factors that affect the life of 
man. The third section (books 8-18) treats the universe 
and may be subdivided into two parts. The first (books 
8-13) has as its subject the world in general while the 
second (books 14-18) describes the earth in particular, 
including in book 16 metals, stones and minerals. The 
fourth section is composed solely of the nineteenth book 
in which everything not previously discussed finds a 
place including colors, odors, liquids, weighs, measures, 
music, etc. Since this work was intended as a reference 
to show mans place in God's universe, the text provides 
examples of good and bad conduct, and illustrates for 
him the principals of Christianity. 

Since the greatest importance was assigned 
to theological matters, it became fairly simple 
for Bartholomaeus to ignore the accuracy of his 
descriptions. Hence we find him with no clear idea 
of the locations of Egypt or India, the latter being a 
vague term which medieval men used to refer to the vast 
territory that stretched beyond Arabia. Bartholomaeus' 
own eyes would have told him that bees do not carry 
small stones to weight them against the wind, and that 
crabs do not employ stones to keep oyster shells propped 
open while they dine on the contents. It was as obvious 
then as now that the legs of a fox are not shorter on the 
right side, and that swiftly moving currents are not the 
cause of oars becoming disjointed in appearance when 
dipped under water. Yet we cannot blame hirn for being 
a man of his time. 

William Caxton. (BORN: Tenderton, Kent, England, 
cl416; DIED: London, England, 1491) English printer, 
translator & linguist. Caxton was the first to print books in 
English. He served an apprenticeship as a mercer and about 
1441 he relocated to Bruges and established a successful 
business there. In 1462 Caxton was selected governor of 
the Merchants Adventurers in the Low Countries, serving 
as a diplomat for the English king. He learned the art 
of printing in Cologne between 1471-2, and at Brugge in 
1475 he and Colard Mansion printed The Recuyell of the 
Historyes of Troye, his own translation from the French, and 
the first book printed in English. In 1476 he returned to 
England, and established the first English print shop at 
Westminster in 1477. There he printed Dictes or Sayengis of 
the Philosophres, the first dated book printed in England. 
Caxton is known to have printed about 100 books, many 
dealing with themes of chivalry. He was the translator, 
from French, Latin, and Dutch, of about one third of the 
books that he printed, and for some he wrote original 
prologues, epilogues, and additions. His books are of 



superb craftsmanship and are carefully edited. One of 
the typefaces used by Caxton is the original Old English 
type. Wynkyn de Worde, his successor as a printer, was 
his assistant at Westminster. 

Johann Veldener. (BORN: ; DIED: cl487) Dutch 

printer. Native of the Diocese of Würzburg, Veldener set 
up his first press in the town of Louvain in 1473. In 1478, he 
moved to Ultrecht and reestablished his print shop there.

VERY RARE. Dutch translation probably commis- 
sioned and certainly printed by Jacob Bellaert [see note 
below]. This is the first Dutch edition of the famous ency- 
clopedia, and the first of all the editions to contain illus- 
trations. 

Indications are that this production was designed 
from the start to be a sumptuous publication. For setting 
the text Bellart used a beautiful, newly designed font in the 
Gothic style. Each of the eleven woodcut illustrations acts 
as a full-page frontispiece introducing the individual sec- 
tions of Bartholomaeus text. Some of these plates serve for 
two sections by rather ingeniously incorporating isolated 
motifs laid against a broad, unifying landscape. For ex- 
ample, stones and gems are scattered here and there along 
the banks of a stream on the plate that also introduces the 
description of plants. These illustrations are finely detailed 
depictions by the anonymous artist whose woodcuts in this 
and other of Bellaert's books has earned him the descriptor: 
"The Bellaert Master." The book was issued on Christmas 
Eve 1485 ("op Kerstavont, 1485") making this volume com- 
parable to the modern Christmas edition. Finally, it is the 
only book from the press of Bellaert that is signed in the 
colophon as being produced by his establishment. He was 
obviously and deservedly proud of this publication. 

The eleven woodcuts each measure approximately 
200 x 140 mm. and represent Solomon as judge, seated in 
the middle, before him the clerk of the court, to the left 
Belial as prosecutor and to the right Moses, Christ's coun- 
sel for the defense (llv); the creation of angels and fall 
of demons (18v); the creation of Eve and anatomical man 
(30v); the ages of man, a physician and a surgeon attending 
patients (105v); the earth and the spheres (161v); occupa- 
tions of the months (188v); birds (217v); fishes (233v): a 
landscape showing a river and towns (247v), trees, plants, 
stones and gems (287v) and animals and reptiles (368v). 
In all 32 different woodblocks were cut, and printed in con- 
tinually changing combinations. 

Jacob Bellaert. (BORN: Zierikzee, The Netherlands, 
cl450; DIED: ) Dutch printer. Bellaert was the 

first printer in Haarlem. His earliest book was published 
in Lijden in December 1483. An important part of the 
books he printed were the splendid woodcut illustrations. 
The only one of his works that is signed is his issue of 
Bartholomaeus Anglicus's Van de proprieteiten der dingen 
(1485). In 1486 several other titles can be traced to hirn as 
well. 

The fifteenth-century illustrators of books and 
woodcutters are veiled in still far greater anonymity than 
the printers at the time. Jacob Bellaert escaped from such 
anonymity by once including his name in a colophon. In art 
history he may now serve as the namegiver for the unknown 



illustrator: the Bellaert master. 

The illustration shows Solomon as judge, seated in 
the middle; before him the clerk of the court, to the left 
Belial as prosecutor and to the right Moses, Christ's counsel 
for the defence. Three woodblocks were used, one for 
the centre and two for the sidepieces. In all 32 different 
woodblocks were cut, and printed in continually changing 
combinations. For the illustrations in the Belial reprints of 
1512 and 1516 by the Antwerp printer Hendrik Eckert van 
Homberch, Bellaert's woodblocks, then 30 years old, were 
used again.

RARE. The illustrations "are very remarkable in 
style and widely divergent in treatment form those in the 
earlier Lyons and Paris editions. They make liberal use of 
solid black and deeply shaded background, and in many 
ways strongly suggest that they are derived from metal- 
engravings rather than woodcut originals." (Goldschmidt)

VERY RARE. First printing of the Spanish translation 
done in 13?? by Vicente de Burgos [see note below]. The 
printer was Henricus Mayer [see note below] of Toulouse, 
and the work was completed on 18 September 1494. 

First Spanish edition of the great encyclopedia of 
natural science compiled circa 1235 by the Franciscan 
Batholomew from England, who taught theology at Paris 
and later at the school of his order at Magdeburg. The work 
is a summary of knowledge current among educated men 
of the Middle Ages. It is arranged by subject in 19 books 
(God and the angels, the soul, the human body, physical 
geography, mineralogy; fauna and flora; colors; odors, 
weight and measures, musical instrurnens, medicine etc.) 
and is much more extensive than any earlier books on the 
same subject. Especially the Geography chapter (Libro XV 
"Delas provincias") shows an advanced state of knowledge, 
describing 173 countries and provinces. "The political 
geography of Europe contains a quantity of information 
which had not been put together before." Sarton, II, 586. 

This extremely rare incunable is illustrated with 18 
large woodcuts, including one repeat and the arms of 
Castile and Aragon on title; woodcut printer's device at the 
end, 6 woodcut diagrams including a small T-map on leaf 
179. The woodcuts include a depiction of physicians with a 
patient, people working in a mine, birds, a larger one of the 
zodiac etc... They appear to be very free copies of those in 
Mathias Huss' French editions of 1485 and 1491/92. 

Vicente de Burgos. (BORN: ; DIED: ) Spanish 

Jesuit. Burgos lived in the second half of the fifteenth 
century, and was the Spanish translator of Bartholomaeus 
Anglicus.

History 



Bartholomaeus Anglicus 



Xylographie title repeated with the white on black wording, 
"Bartholomeu de | proprietatib3 reTJ.." 

VERY RARE. Translation by John Trevisa [see note 
below] of De Propietatibus Rerum and printed from a 
manuscript copy by Wynkyn de Worde [see notes below]. 
The 19 woodcut illustrations in the text are based on 
those in the Dutch 1485 edition and various French editions 
published in Lyon. 

This is the first English book printed entirely on 
paper made in England. The "chancery" size format was 
manufactured by John Tate (so credited in the colophon) 
at the first English mill established in the 1490 's. In 
the nineteenth century a copy of Trevisa's manuscript was 
presented to the library at Columbia University by George 
Plimpton. It is described as an "English manuscript on 
vellum, of 388 leaves, England, circa 1440. It is John 
of Trevisa's translation of Bartholomaeus' comprehensive 
thirteenth century encyclopedia and bears printers' marks 
throughout, indicating that type was set from this copy for 
the first edition printed in England by Wynkyn de Worde 
in 1495." 

John de Trevisa. (BORN: Crocadon, in St. Mellion, 
near Saltash, Cornwall, England, 1362; DIED: Berkeley, 
England, 1412) English translator. Trevisa was a fellow 
of Exeter College, Oxford from 1362 to 1369. Later he 
became a fellow of Queen's College, but was expelled in 
1379 by the Archbishop of York for unworthiness. Prior to 
1387, he entered into the service of Thomas, 4th Baron of 
Berkeley, as chaplain and vicar of Berkeley. Trevisa was not 
an original writer, but a diligent translator, whose works 
became the source for many English incunabulum. 

Wynkyn de Worde. (BORN: Worth, Alsace, France, 
; DIED: London, England?, 1534?) French printer & 
stationer. His real name was Jan van Wynkyn ('Worde' 
being merely a place name). As a young man, he came 
to England and was employed as an apprentice in the 
printing establishment of William Caxton. He probably 
accompanied Caxton to Bruges in 1476. In 1491, after 
Caxton 's death, Wynkyn took over the printing business 
in Westminster. Between 1493 and 1500, Wynkyn issued 
at least 110 different works. This remarkable output 
continued until his death making his press more prolific 
than any other printer in operation before 1600.

VERY SCARCE. Essentially a series of lectures on 
the natural history and geology of Ardmagh county, 
Ireland. But, in the style of the day, the author 
has attempted to cast it into the Newtonian mold of 
propositions, demonstrations, and lemmas, thus to give 
it a more 'mathematical' air. Most of the lectures are 
centered on the geology, mining and mineralogy of the 
region, and thus provide an interesting 18th century 
prespective.

Basilius Valentinus 



BASILIUS VALENTINUS. 

Supposed Benedictine monk of the fourteenth 
century, but no trace of him has ever been found in the 
monastaries of Germany, where he supposedly worked. 
Current research suggests that this name is more likely a 
pseudonym for JOHANN Tholde, who wrote the Haligraphia 
in 1603, a work on the mineralogy and economy of salt.

incorrectly numbered 680-694; other errors in paging. 
Title page in red and black. 

Rare. In the Triumph Wagen Antimonii, the 
author made the first detailed description of antimony 
and its compounds (preparation of antimony trioxide). 



This work brings together many facts and speculations 
on the chemistry of antimony, its combinations and its 
use in medicine. The descriptions of the preparations of 
the various compounds are written in a clear style. The 
book also contains translations of the works of Bacon, 
Rodocher and Issacus Hollandus. Many chemical 
preparations of the first importance are described in 
this work, and Basilius Valentinus has been hailed as 
the Father of Modern Chemistry. In his honor the 
mineral valentinite, an antimony oxide, was named in 
the nineteenth century. 

The book contains the following treatises, which 
are followed by an index: 1. Triumph Wagen Antimonii, 
Fratris Basilii Valentini (p. 1-264). 2. Von der Tinctur 
oder Oleo Stibii, Rogeri Baconis Angli (p. 265-296). 3. 
Von den Particular und Universal Tincturen (p. 297- 
397). 4. Vom Stein der Weisen; Theorica unnd Practica 
Georgii Phaedronis Rodocheri (p. 399-450). 5. Der 
uhralter Ritterkrieg (p. 451-476). 6. Opus Saturni Isaaci 
Hollandi (p. 477-523). 7. Philosophisch Betrachtung, 
von der materia Lapidis und seiner Bereitung (p. 525-

Rare. This translation (the second in English) 
of Valentine's famous treatise was made by Richard 
Russell, who translated several alchemical works in 
the 17th Century. It was first published in 1604 and 
is regarded as one of the earliest monographs on a 
chemical element ... there is no doubt but that his 
treatise brought together into one volume the facts of 
the chemistry of antimony and its combinations, and 
its uses in medicine in a form that made his book the 
standard work on that subject for many decades. The 
work is, in far as its chemistry is concerned, clear and 
comprehensible for its time.

Batsch. This is a catalog of Count Heinrich Reuss- 
Plauen XXVI's [1725-1796] natural history cabinet 
located at Köstritz (now in Thuringia, Germany) which 
was issued in 2 parts in 1785. The first part lists 
only shells and other marine animals. The preface 
unsigned preface by Batsch outlines the mineralogical 
portion that is contained in the second part together 
with descriptions of butterflies and other insects. It is 
arranged on a system founded on Wallerius and contains 
precious and semiprecious stones, marbles, jaspers, 
Labradorite, alabaster, petrified wood, etc. [Entry by

SCARCE. One from the series of the Text-Books 
of Science. The author designed the text around two 
principles. First that it should be a useful guide to 
students wishing to acquire a flavor of the subject and 
second, to serve as an elementary introduction to more 
comprehensive textbooks on the subject, such as Dana, 
Des Cloizeaux, and Miller. Bauerman has been guided 
by Groth's PhysiJcaiische Krystallographie (Leipzig, 
1876) and Rammelsberg's Handbuch der Mineralchemie 
(Leipzig, 1875) in his descriptions, while utilizing the 
crystallographic notation of Miller.

SCARCE. In the preface, Bauerman describes the 
growing difficulty in condensing the growing amount of 
information about mineralogy into such a limited book. 
Therefore, he has included data on only the more important 
mineralogical species. For the purposes of illustration, the 
original wood blocks from 'Brooke and Miller' were used 
(i.e., Phillips, Mineralogy, London, 1852).

VERY RARE. This is an early treatise describing 
the bezoar of mystical and medical properties of 
calculi formed in the kidneys and guts of various 
animals. Such stones and similar animal calculi were 
the subject of intense interest from Classical times due 
to their supposed property as an antidote to poison 
or as an ingredient in various medical preparations. 
Bauhinus' treatise is one of the earliest to treat the 
subject and it is replete with mystical suppositions and 
historical notes. Its 46 chapters provide descriptions 
and discussions of the various specimen types as well as 
methods for determining real stones from imitations. 
Throughout the author has included considerable 
historical information, especially in reference to these 
stones used as medical remedies and antidotes.

Joannes Bauhin 

Of French Protestant ancestry, Bauhin was born to 
parents exiled in Basel, Switzerland. He was educated in 
Basel under the exiled Italian religious reformer Coelius 
Curione [1503-1569] and in Zurich under the famous Swiss 
naturalist CONRAD GESNER. From 1560 to 1563, after 
completing his studies, Bauhin made an extensive trip 
throughout Europe, afterward settling in Lyons, France, 
where he established a medical practice. In 1568, he 
was forced to flee back to Switzerland when a wave of 
religious persecution swept France, but in 1571 he was 
appointed physician Duke Frederick, ruler of Wurtemberg 
and Montbéliard. He built extensive botanical gardens, and 
collected minerals in the Alps with Gesner and others.

VERY RARE. Historia Novi et Admirabilis 

comprises four books, of which the first three provide a 
description of the medicinal virtues of European mineral 
waters and baths, based on the study of the sprints at 
Bad Boll, near Groppingen, Wiirtemburg. It is one 
of the first illustrated books on minerals, gems and 
also contains an early record of cultivated fruit with 
a series of early illustrations. This was alsoo the most 
detailed work on the subject of balneology written in 
the sixteenth century, and it became Bauhin's most 
popular treatise. The fourth book, written almost like 
an appendix, is much more unusual in covering the 
local natural history in considerable detail. It utilizes 
fine woodcuts to illustrate the descriptions, and these 
comprise 210 of fossils and minerals, 60 of apples, 41 
of pears, 2 of plants and 16 of insects, making this one 
of the very few illustrated works concerning mineralogy 
printed in the sixteenth century. After the main part of 
text, there follows a Paraiipomena, with 11 woodcuts, 
including 7 of fungi, and 2 which perhaps show the 
preparation of flax. Finally, the text includes 3 leaves

of commendatory verses. In the first part, Bauhin 
has included a list of authorities that are cited in the 
text. Among these are several works authored by 
CONRAD Gesner, whose mineralogical work perhaps 
inspired Bauhin to prepare this exceptional illustrated 
mineralogy. 

Unknown to most bibliographers is that there are 
several issues of the first edition. The persumed first 
issue was published with a portrait of Bauhin printed 
on the verso of the title page. This beautiful renaissance 
portrait shows the author with a plant in his right hand 
and his left hand on a skull. The portrait has the dates 
1541 and 1597, the first date being the date of birth 
and the other one the date of the portrait. However, 
this issue does not contain the six-page illustrated 
supplement on fungi, "Paralipomena." Another issue 
lacks the portrait but does contain the supplement. A 
third issue contains the portrait and the supplement, 
but to date the compiler has only encountered this in 
one copy.

BAUMEISTER, Joseph Anton Ignaz Edler von. 

(BORN: Vienna, Austria, 20 November 1750; DIED: 
Vienna, Austria, 6 October 1819) Austrian author & 
publisher. 

Baumeister was the son of a civil official and studied 
at the University of Vienna. In 1770, he published a 
dissertation concerning the history of the Steiermark state. 
In 1792, he was entrusted by Kaiser Franz II with the 
education of his sons, the Princes Ludwig and Rudolf. In 
recognition of this service, he was awarded with a position 
of advisor to the government. In his retirement, Baumeister 
worked on a chronology of world history.

VERY SCARCE. The volume described was 

published as the fourth number of Die Welt in Bildern 
(6 vols., Vienna, 1788-92), which was directed towards 
juveniles. The set's focus was to show the young reader 
a comprehensive view of the world through realistic 
pictures. This part treats things dug from the earth 
by marvelously illustrating a wide variety of minerals, 
agates and marble samples. Johann Sollander [see 
note below] prepared the master plates from actual 
specimens, and his effort shows in this truly beautiful 
illustrated mineralogy. 



The work exists in two states. One with the 
title vignette and plates untinted, and the other with 
these illustrations deliciously hand-colored. The colored 
copies are printed on a better quality paper that makes 
the volume noticeably thicker, and at the time of their 
production undoubtedly more expensive. One could 
suspect that authentic colored volumes are rarer than 
their uncolored counterparts. 

Johann Sollander. Austrian painter. No 

direct information found; however, this may refer to 
Johann Sollerer (SoUener) [1747-1809], Viennese painter of 
miniatures. 

Mansfeld. Austrian engraver. Refers to a family of 
Viennese copper engravers. Active during the period were 
Johann Georg [1764-1817], Johann [1770-1825] and Johann 
Ernst [1739-1796].

BAUMER, Johann Wilhelm Christian. (Born: 
Rehweiler, France, 10 September 1719; DlED: Giessen, 
Germany, 4 August 1788) German physican, chemist & 
mineralogist. 

In 1748, Baumer was named professor of medicine 
at the University of Erfurt. In 1754, he was appointed 
professor of physics. Then he accepted in 1765 an 
appointment as professor of medicine at the University of 
Giessen as well as city physician.

CONTENTS: [Vol 1] [2 pgs], Title page, verso blank.; 
[6 pgs], Dedication, signed Joh. Wilh. Baumer, 3 October 
1763.; [1J-520, Text.; [14 pgs], "Register." 

[Vol 2] [2 pgs], Title page, verso blank.; [1]-

[At end], 9 folding plates. 

VERY SCARCE, especially the second volume. In 
this attempt at a new form of systematic mineralogy, 
Baumer has arranged his system along a unique system. 
His arrangement includes burnable bodies, water, salts, 
earths, stones and ore and metals. He includes 
descriptions of accidental or jovial forms of stones 
and petrifications, metals and ores, and mountains of 
large masses. Although Baumer has compiled many 
oddities in his choices, citations are diligently recorded 
to other literature for each mineral species listed. 
The mineral descriptions are particularly good for the 
minerals found in the vicinity of Thüring, Germany. 
The second volume includes additions, corrections and 
reinterpretations to the first, arranged in the same way.

VERY SCARCE. Baumer discusses the uses of 
gemstones and other mineral substances in medicine, 
while making it clear that many of the precious variety 
can not be useful because they will not dissolve in the 
stomach. However, as a physician he knew that some 
'earths' neutralize acid, or are soluable in water, and 
therefore of potential therepeutic use. He deplores the 
myths and superstions assigned to many of the stones, 
especially for there curative powers. 

The text is divided into two parts. The first is a 
classification of gemstones, into precious, semi-precious, 
spurious, etc., with discussions of physical properties, 
origins, and differences between species. The second 
section describes other mineral substances, such as 
ochre and the earths that were used in medices of he 
late eigheenth century. Baumer makes note of curious 
lore and ancient beliefs attached to the same, together 
with details on the preparation and administration, and 
ills cured.

BAUMHAUER, Heinrich Adolf. (Born: Bonn, 
Germany, 26 October 1848; DIED: Freiburg, Germany, 
1 August 1926) German crystallographer, mineralogist 
& chemist. 

From 1866 to '70, Baumhauer was educated at the 
University of Bonn. Later he attended the University 
of Göttingen. Appointed professor of mineralogy at the 
University of Freiburg in 1895, he was also for a short 
period professor of inorganic chemistry. Baumhauer was 
elected a member Mineralogical Society of St. Petersburg, 
Russia. On his suggestion, an index to all chemical 
publications, the Chemishes Zentralblatt edited by German 
Chemical Society, was founded. He wrote numerous papers 
on mineralogy and the symmetry of crystals.

VERY SCARCE. In the JVew Developments in 
Crystallography the latest discoveries and methods 
invented in the science are presented. It was designed to 
bring workers up to date on the latest trends regarding 
terminology and symbols, but was not intended to 
develop a complete training in crystallography. Written 
less than a decade before X-ray analysis was invented, 
Baumhauer had a rich selection of practical and 
theoretical material to draw upon for his text. New 
facts and theories are discussed regarding symmetry 
and conditions of crystal formation, methods of 
instruction, relations between chemistry and crystal 
form, and twin crystals. An appendix explains the 
symbol designations applied to crystalline forms by Paul 
von Groth in his Physikalische Krystallographie.

in 1723. In 1709 he was appointed professor of logic 
at the University of Bologna, later becoming professor of 
medicine in 1712. Beccari was named the first professor 
of chemistry at any Italian university (Bologna) in 1737. 
Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1728. 
His best remembered studies describe phosphorescence, 
sexual functions, and the effect of light on silver salts.

History 



Becher. 



BECHER (Beccher), Johann Joachim. (Born: 
Speyer, Germany, 6 May 1635; DlED: London, 
England?, October 1682?) German physician & 
alchemist. 

Becher was mostly self-educated, although he was 
awarded the degree of M.D. from the University of Mainz 
in 1661. In 1663, he was appointed professor of medicine 
at Mainz and physician to the elector of Mainz. From 
1664 to 1666, he stayed in Munich where that cities regent 
had furnished him with a laboratory. But in 1666, he was 
obliged to leave Munich. He went to Vienna, but in 1666 
Leopold appointed him Imperial Commercial Advisor. In 
1669 he arranged with the Dutch West Indies Company 
for a colony, in the South America. Becher was appointed 
public professor of medicine at the University of Mainz. 
He was appointed chamberlain to Count Zinzendorf in 
Vienna. While there he established a Werkhaus containing 
a chemical lab for manufacturing pigments as well as for 
working with wool, silk, and glass. In 1678, Becher went 
to Holland, where he sold the city of Haarlem a plan for 
a machine that would spool silk cocoons. In 1679 an 
invitation of Prince Rupert caused him to go to England 
where he inspected mines in Cornwall (and Scotland?).

and terra pinguis (fatty). He considered combustible 
substances to be rich in terra pinguis, which was lost 
during burning. Even metals that were calcinable 
contained some of the fatty earth. Stahl later developed 
these ideas into an elaborate chemical system in which 
the term "phlogiston" replaced terra pinguis. 

The potential comprehensiveness of the phlogiston 
theory proved amazingly good in a world in which 
chemistry still held a qualitative attitude toward 
matter. Not only did the theory explain combustion and 
calcination as being caused by the loss of phlogiston, 
it explained the smelting of ores equally well. Since 
the ore (calx) of a metal is converted into metal by 
heating with charcoal, a substance rich in phlogiston, 
Stahl argued that phlogiston was transferred from the 
charcoal to the calx, converting the later into a metal.

VERY RARE. A translation of Auctorvm laboratorii 
chymici monacensis, seu Physicœ Subterráneas libri duo (2nd 
ed., Francofuti, 1681) with the inclusion of translations of 
the first two supplements and some additional material on 
alchemy. The translator was Becher. The long dedication 
to the Emperor Leopold I, dated 20 March 1675, gives a 
history of alchemy. The work was probably written in 
support of his unsuccessful attempt to extract gold from 
the sand of the Danube. This is probably the rarest of 
Bechers writings, unknown to many bibliographers.

RARE. This is a description of the three realms 
of nature and their use in medicine. The first 
part describes the animal kingdom, beginning with 
man, followed by the beasts, birds, insects, lizards, 
etc. The second part is a botanical herbal that 
utilizes reworked illustrations from the earlier herbal 
of Mattioli. The third section is concerned with objects 
yielded by the earth including mineral resources, mines, 
minerals, fossils, stones, etc. Within the mineralogy 
section are descriptions of individual mineral types 
including petroleum, mercury, native metals, crystals, 
sulfur, coal, saltpeter, pyrite, arsenic, antimony, etc. 
The fourth section concerns the purposes to which 
nature can be put for the medical good of mankind 
and includes a section on distillation processes. A 
comprehensive index to all the parts is found at the 
book's conclusion. The text is heavily illustrated 
throughout but most particularly in the sections on 
animals and plants.

from Rutgers College in 1817. In 1830, he was appointed 
a professor of chemistry at Rutgers. In 1836, Beck became 
the mineralogist for the geological survey of New York. 
In 1840, he was named professor of chemistry at Albany 
Medical College. He authored many works on botany, 
chemistry and food adulteration.

BECKE, Friedrich Johann Karl. (Born: Prague, 
Czechoslovakia, 31 December 1855; DIED: Vienna, 
Austria, 18 June 1931) Czech/ Austrian mineralogist. 

Becke studied mineralogy at Vienna under Tscher- 
mak and Schrauf, graduating in 1880. In 1882, he became 
professor of mineralogy at the University of Czernowitz 
[now CernauÇi, Romania], and in 1890, at the German Uni- 
versity at Prague. In 1898, he succeeded A. Schrauf at the 
University of Vienna, and later, G. Tschermak, retiring in 
1927. Becke was an expert and pioneer in optical mineral- 
ogy, and from 1899, he acted as editor of Tschermaks Miner- 
alogische und Petrographische Mitteilungen. He won the Wol- 
laston Medal of the Geological Society of London in 1929.

BECKENKAMP, Jakob. (BORN: Horcheim near

Germany, 12 January 1931) German mineralogist. 

In 1872, Beckenkamp helped as a surveyor in 
remapping the Wiesbaden district of Germany. From 
1876-9, he entered the University of Bonn, where he 
studied mathematics, physics and chemistry. Afterwards, 
he attended the University of Strasbourg, where he 
studied crystallography under P. Groth, graduating 1881. 
Beckenkamp worked for a time on a geological survey of 
Elsass-Lothringen, but in 1897, he became professor of 
mineralogy and geology at the University of Würzburg, 
from which he retired in 1929. His principle research was 
on physical crystallography dealing with thermal, elastic, 
magnetic and electrical properties of crystals.

SCARCE. A comprehensive treatise, providing 
extensive discussion of the most current knowledge 
of crystallography. The first part covers the 'static' 
properties of crystals and theoretical discussions of 
the internal geometric structure. Included in this 
portion are discussions of previous theories including 
Haiiy, Weiss, Hessel, notational systems, twins, 
pseudomorphs, thermal, elastic, magnetic and electrical 
properties of crystals, etc. The second part details 
'kinetics' of crystals, or their behavior when interacting 
with light or other forms of radiation. Discussion 
includes crystal optics, with historical perspectives, 
goniometers, physical properties, theories of the 
arrangements of atoms within crystals, also touching 
on the recent discoveries of Von Laue and Bragg in X- 
ray crystal diffraction analysis. At the conclusion are 
comprehensive indexes to both parts.

SCARCE. This Manual of Crystallography is more 
or less an abridgement of the author's Statische und 
Kinetische Kristalltheorien (Berlin, 1913-5), omitting 
almost all of the historical perspective. Divided into six 
parts, this is a superb introduction to crystallographic 
science, however. In the first portion, Beckenkamp 
covers in detail the cubic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, 
rnonoclinic, triclinic and hexagonal systems, with 
descriptions of the crystal classes that occurs under 
each heading. The second part describes dielectric 
and magnetic phenomena that result from atomic 
arrangements within some crystals. The third section 
describes how piezo- and pyro-electrical properties 
occur by either rubbing or heating certain mineral 
crystals. A fourth section (pp. 141-278) describes 
optical properties of crystals, including reflection, 
interference patterns, double refraction, polarization, 
luminence, etc. The fifth part (pp. 279-330) describes 
the influence of mechanical, thermal and chemical 
properties on the geometric and physical properties 
of crystals. The sixth and final section (pp. 331- 
443) covers structural theory and how it affects the 
geometric and physical properties of crystals. An 
errata to the author's previous Statische und Kinetische 
Kristalltheorien and a comprehensive subject index help 
conclude the work.

VERY SCARCE. A personal narrative of an 
excursion through northern Germany. The book is 
interesting for its account of the geology and fossil of 
the region, and also the author took a special interest 
in the mineral wealth of the region. Therefore, this 
work is principally a description of the various mines, 
quarries, and caves he chanced to visit. Of great value 
for reporting the state of the mining and metallurgy of 
the time. The text was reissued in an unaltered state 
in 1712 and again in 1720.

BENKÖ, Ferencz. (Born: 1745; Died: 1816) 
Hungarian naturalist, mineralogist & theologian. 

Benkö was a Calvinist minister, who was elected 
priest of the Nagyszeben congregation in 1784. He began 
studies at Bethlen College, continuing at the Universities 
of Göttingen and Jena. While at Jena, Benkö attended 
the mineralogical lectures of J.F. Gmelin, which stressed 
the doctrines of Werner. Afterwards, he traveled in 1783 
to 1784 throughout Transylvania, exploring all aspects of 
natural history. He was appointed in 1790 professor of 
natural history, geography and the German language at 
Nagyenyed College in Hungary. He held this appointment 
until his death. Benko was the first professor to write and 
lecture in the Hungarian language. He was a champion of 
the natural history museum at Nagyenyed, to which Benko 
bequeathed his own collection which included 2120 mineral 
specimens.

VERY RARE. An important treatise in the history 
of Hungarian mineralogy, being the first written in the 
native tounge and describing the mineralogy of this rich 
geological land. Benkö, once a student of Werner's 
at Freiberg, followed his former teacher's principles in 
his descriptions of the minerals. References to other 
literature are provided throughout. 

Facsimile reprint, 1980s: This work on mineralogy, the 
first published in Hungarian, was reprinted sometime in the 
1980s together with 65 pages of historical introduction and 
a modern index.

BENNETT, Lee Fent. (Born: 22 August 1872; 
DlED: Kenosha, Wisconsin, U.S.A., 25 January 1966) 
American geologist & mineralogist. 

Bennett was an alumnus (1895) as well as a faculty 
member (1898-1919) of Valparaiso University, where he 
taught the subjects of geology, zoology and mathematics. 
In 1919, he became the superintendent of the H.W. Gossard 
Co. factory in Janesville, Wisconsin. He lived in Janesville 
until 1928 when he moved to Saginaw, Michigan. He 
remained there until 1957, when because of poor health he 
moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin to live with a daughter. An 
entry in the 1914 yearbook for Valparaiso University says 
of Bennett: "When Professor Bennett tells a story or joke 
everybody laughs; not only because they are always good 
stories well told but because he finds a new story before 
he tells one. He has the happy faculty of making his work 
interesting. Nobody ever sleeps in his class ... He is a real 
friend of the students and besides being a good instructor 
he in a good a.l! round fellow."

Bergman 



BERGMAN, Torbern Olof. (BORN: Katrineberg, 
Vestergötland, Sweden, 20 March 1735; DIED: Medevi, 
Sweden, 8 July 1784) Swedish chemist, mineralogist, 
astronomer, physicist & geographer. 

Bergman entered the University of Upsala at the 
age of seventeen, from which his family expected he 
would graduate in either divinity or law, although he 
preferred mathematics and natural science. However, 
through overwork he injured his health and during his 
convalescence he studied botany and entomology to such 
good purpose he was able to send LlNNEAUS several new 
kinds of insect. He returned to the University in 1758, and 
upon graduation began teaching there mathematics and 
then physics. Upon the resignation of J.G. Wallerius from 
the chair of chemistry and mineralogy, Bergman became 
a candidate for the appointment. Although opposed by 
many, he had a friend in Crown Prince Gustavus III, and 
chancellor of the University, who gained the appointment 
for Bergman. He held this post until the end of his 
relatively short life (he died at the age of 49). Bergman's 
most important chemical contribution was his Essay on 
Elective Attractions (English trans., London, 1775), a study 
of chemical affinity. His other writings covered many 
subjects but are all related to some aspect of science, most 
particularly chemistry and mineralogy. For example, in 
1761 he was the first to discover the planet Venus had an 
atmosphere. 

In chemistry, Bergman is considered the father of 
quantitative analysis, physical chemistry, modern chemical 
nomenclature, the concept of equivalent weights, and the 
electromotive series, and is the discoverer or made major 
contributions to the discovery of at least eight chemical 
elements: platinum, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, 
cobalt, nickel, oxygen, and barium. In crystallography 
he has been considered a forerunner of Haüy in founding 
the science. He wrote the first great treatise in physical 
geography, Physisie Beskrifning (1st ed., Upsala, 1766-74), 
and he contributed substantially to our modern philosophy 
of science.

Rare. Much revised by Bergman through 

corrections and additions, this is a translation into 
French by Guyton de Morveau (or according to 
Partington by Mme. Picardet and supervised by 
Guyton) of the first two volumes of the Opuscula. 
Physica et Chemica. (Holmige, Upsaliae &¿ Aboae, 1779- 
80). Guyton himself added an introduction to each 
volume and a great number of long and valuable 
notes. When Bergman died, Guyton discontinued the 
translation. 



Louis Bernard Guyton-Morveau. (BORN: Dijon, 

Côte d'Or, France, 4 January 1737; DIED: Paris, France, 
2 January 1816) French chemist & aristrocat. Guyton- 
Morveau was и lawyer by profession ami served from 1755 
to 1782 as a member of the Dijon Parliament. Science had 
always been his hobby, and after his retirement, he turned 
his attention to chemistry. He worked with Lavoisier to 
reform the nomenclature of chemistry. When the French 
Revolution occurred, Guyton— Morveau returned to politics 
on the side of the revolutionists and survived the period, 
although he did nothing to help Lavoisier. He served as 
master of the mint under Napolean, and was made a baron 
in 1811.

VERY SCARCE. A selection of essays translated 
from the Latin of Opuscula Physica et Chemica, most 
based on the French edition of 1780-1785, with notes 
by Guyton de Morveau. They are all separately paged 
and signed, with some having errata at end. Most have 
Tofani's signed dedication and notes signed by him. 
There are also translations and notes also credited to 
Giovanni Fabbroni, with Tofani listed as printer and 
editor. There are four folded tables, not included in 
paging; the first unnumbered, the others numbered I- 
III, and two folding etched plates of chemical apparatus:

thinks this edition was authorized and not pirated as 
suggested by Monström. The contents of Tomo 1 are 
identical with those of the Firenze-edition. In Tomo 2 there 
are missing three papers; however, added to this volume 
is an Elogio storico di M. Bergman, by F. Vicq d'Azyr,

VERY SCARCE. Perhaps edited by JOHANN JACOB 
Ferber, this is the first edition of Bergman's important 
foundational work in mineral classification and nomen- 
clature. In the Sketch of the Mineral Kingdom, digested 
according to the constituent parts of the substances that 
compose it, Bergman shows his support for classifying 
minerals according to their chemical composition and

Bergman 



tions about the chemistry of minerals, went further in 
regard to the subject than had its predecessors because 
Bergman had developed a portable blow-pipe kit. With 
this tool, which he took with him out into the field and 
was thus able to analyze minerals on the spot for their 
chemical constituents he was able to create a practical 
method of classification. In contrast to the previous 
systems of Br.OMELL and Cr.ONSTEDT chemcial knowl- 
edge had developed to a state where it was possible 
for a chemical system of mineral classification of to be 
prepared and be of practical use. Bergman recognized 
four major groups of minerals: salts, earths, metals, 
and inflammable bodies, and then subclassified each of 
these groups, exercising care in trying to provide a more 
consistent nomenclature than the contemporary stan- 
dards. 

In his attempt to reform mineralogical nomencla- 
ture, Bergman set up a systematic approach to the min- 
eral kingdom. It closely follows the naming conventions 
used by Linneaus to successfully name plants and in- 
volving two Latin names. This meant the naming of 
the mineral by the Latin names of the prevalent alkali, 
earth or metal combined with the name of the acid. 
For example, copper chloride would be called cuprum 
sali tum. Bergman's nomenclature as used in the Scia- 
graphia was an attempt at a general reform of miner- 
alogical as well as chemical names, and it was success- 
ful in this respect being adopted by Louis Guyton de 
Morveau in the same year, and thus helped to stan- 
dardise chemical nomenclature. Bergman recognized 
four classes of pure chemical foundation, called salts, 
earths, metals, and phlogistic materials. These were 
translated into Latin as sales, terras, metalla, and phlo- 
gistica. Two other classes were added to hold impure 
substances, petrae were rocks and petrificata were for 
organic fossil substances. These classes were then sub- 
divided into genera after the method of Linneaus. 

The regard for Bergman as a scientist was such 
that his student and biographer, P.J. Hjelm, records 
that before the first edition of the Sciagraphia was 
printed, no less than five different translations of it 
were announced in different places. Not all of these 
original announcements materialized, although the text 
was eventually distributed in five diffrent languages in- 
cluding German, Italian, French, English and Portugese 
[which see next entries]. All this activity seems to in- 
dicate a considerable interest in Bergman's system for 
mineralogy. 

In the Preface to his Sciagraphia. Bergman stated 
that he had been urged by J.J. Ferber to publish his 
manuscript outline of mineral classification. This ap- 
parently lead Moström to conclude that the work had 
been "edited by J.J. Ferber." However, Bergman's text 
contains no evidence that this was the actual case. The 
Preface reads: 

"In answer to the request of my very good friend, 
Mr. Ferber, I sent him a small outline of mineralogy 
in which the minerals were arranged according to their 
con stituent elements. After looking it over, he asked 
my permission to publish it. At first I thought it would 



be better not to publish a work so imperfect, especially 
considering the number of analyses which remained to 
be made. Mr. Ferber replied that a perfect method 
was not yet to be expected in so extensive a field, but 
that having once laid a foundation I might occasionally 
make such additions and corrections, in new editions of 
the work, as future experiments might make necessary. 
Indeed I was fully aware that the system would be per- 
fected more quickly if submitted to the inspection of 
other more discerning Chemists, than if its completion 
depended solely on me. The different remarks of others 
will correct errors, which by further work I might have 
corrected, but if science is advanced, it does not mat- 
ter by whom. So Genera and Species are given, except 
in the Appendices which, since they did not properly 
belong in my outline, contain Genera only. The Gen- 
era are based on the principle elements, and the Species 
on the remaining components. Varieties depend upon 
external appearances, and are therefore omitted here." 

Related work, 1773: "Variae crystallorum formae a 
spatho ortae," in: Nova Acta Regiae Societatis Scientiarum 
Upsaliensis. Upsalias, 1773, 1, 150-155, one plate. 

Bergman's pupil Johann Gottlieb Gahn had discov- 
ered that the scalenohedra of "dog tooth" spar (calcite) 
when cleaved along certain planes would allways yield a. 
rhombohedral kernel the same shape as ordinary calcspar. 
On this and other observations, Bergman authored "Vari- 
ous crystal forms that take their origin from spar," which 
described a new theory of crystal structure that was of the 
utmost importance in the developement of crystallographic 
science. He noted that since crystals present such a seem- 
ingly endless variety of forms, it appears as though Nature 
were joking with us. However, by careful study and com- 
parision, he deduced that these multitude of forms could all 
be derived from simpler bodies which he called "primitive 
forms." He confined his study to calspar and its basic form 
the "oblique parallelepiped." Using this basic shape he the- 
orized that they arranged themselves in thin sheets (lamel- 
lae) which when stacked together produced the widely di- 
vergent forms found in Nature. From the view point of his- 
tory, Bergman's lamellar theory is one of the first attempts 
to explain how widely divergent crystal forms could be de- 
rived from simpler shapes, and one which René Just Haiiy 
would accept and greatly expand upon in his own writings. 
This work appears in the Opuscule (see: 2, 1-56).

William Withering. (BORN: Wellington, Shropshire, 
England, 28 March 1741; DIED: Larches near Birmingham, 
England, 6 October 1799) English physician. Withering 
graduated with his M.D. from the University of Edinburgh 
in 1766. In 1774, he then opened a medical practice in 
Birmingham. He was the first to describe native barium 
carbonate, later named after him as the mineral species, 
witherite. Withering is best known as a botanist, and his 
work on the foxglove is a classic. He was elected a Fellow 
of the Royal Society of London in 1784. He had collections 
of both minerals and plants.

VERY SCARCE. First French translation by J.-A. 
Mongez from Sciagraphia Regni Mineralis (Lipsiae, 1782), 
and dedicated to the Comté de Vergennes. It is an 
important mineralogical work with extensive notes added 
by the translator to each mineral described and numerous 
citations to the works of other chemists and mineralogists. 
It went far in promoting the general reform of chemical 
and mineralogical nomenclature first in France and then 
the rest of Europe. 

Jean- André Mongez. (BORN: Lyon, France, 1751; DIED: 
Lyon, France, 1788) French chemist, naturalist & writer. 
Distinguished as a writer on the physical sciences, Mongez 
contributed articles to the Journal de Physique on botany, 
chemistry and physics. He was elected to the Académie des 
Sciences in 1785.

RARE. In De Tubo Ferrurninatorio Bergman 
provides the fullest account to date of the equipment 
and fluxes used in blowpipe analysis. Using a modified 
three-piece blowpipe made from silver with a gold tip, 
he records the reactions of minerals fused with the three 
fluxes of soda, borax and microcosmic salt (sodium 
ammonium phosphate) in hollow charcoal supports 
or silver or gold spoons. He is also the first to 
distinguish between the oxidizing and reducing flames 
of the flame, which he used with excellent effect in 
qualitative analysis to determine the elements making 
up many minerals. Although introduced by Swab, 
Rinman, Cronstedt and popularized by Engström, it 
was Bergman's success in blowpipe analysis and his 
excellent texts that made it an important tool of the 
mineralogist and chemist for almost two centuries.

Rare. Translated and edited by Italus 

[pseudonym] from "Meditationes de systemate fossilium 
naturali" (see: Nova. Acta Regias Societatis Scientiarum 
Upsaliensis, 4 (1784), pp. 63-128). In his "Meditation 
on a System of Natural Fossils," Bergman joined his 
voice to those of Guyton de Morveau and Pierre Joseph 
Macquer in proposing of the chemical nomenclature 
was necessary. He proposes that absurd names that 
memorialize their discoverers be eliminated. Also, 
names that refer to some mysterious property should 
be dropped. 

This is Bergman's last major statement in 
mineralogy, published the year of his death. It 
indicates that had he lived, he would have collaborated 
with De Morveau on a complete overhaul of 
chemcial/mineralogical nomenclature. 

The different bodies that make up the mineral 
kingdom are briefly defined and include organic, solid 
and liguid items. Reasons are then provided why they 
need to be organized into a classification system. This 
is followed by speculation on mineral formation and 
descriptions of physical and chemical properties, such as 
form, specific gravity, hardness, behavior in fire, before 
the blowpipe and methods of examining fossils by the 
wet method. At the conclusion is a long discussion 
providing reasons and the theory behind Bergman's 
system of nomenclature.

VERY SCARCE. In 1751, Cronstedt did chemical 
analyses of a mineral called Kupfer-nickel [niccolite], which 
had been thought to contain copper because when dissolved 
in acid the mineral produced a blue colored solution. 
Upon further investigation, involving attempts to precipate 
copper metal from the solution, Cronstedt concluded that 
the mineral did not contain copper but a new type of metal, 
which in 1754 he named nickel, after the material from 
which it was first obtained. Although most of Cronstedt's 
contemporaries accepted his findings, there were many 
important chemists of the period who believed Cronstedt 
had not discovered a new metal but a complex alloy of 
copper, arsenic, iron and cobalt. It was not until Afzelius 
defended Torbern Bergman's dissertation De Niccolo, that 
Cronstedt's claim was universally accepted. A revised 
edition appears in the Opúsculo (vol. 2, 1780, pp. 231-271). 

Jan Afzelius. (BORN: Larss Församling, Skara Stift, 
Sweden, 13 June 1753; DIED: Upsala, Sweden, 20 May

metallurgy and pharmacy at the University in Uppsala. He 
was a member of the Academy of Sciences, Stockholm.

VERY SCARCE. This dissertation to which Anders Pihl 
was respondent gives a short history of arsenic, its chemical 
behavior in metal, calx and ore forms, and its action as a 
mineralizer. The view is expressed that metals are only 
acids bound together by different quantities of phlogiston. 
A revised edition appears in the Opúsculo (vol. 2, 1780, pp. 
272-308). 

Andreas Pihl. (BORN: 26 February 1759; DIED: cl835) 
Swedish mining expert. Pihl matriculated at the University 
of Upsala in 1772, and took his mining degree in 1777. He 
worked at mines throughout Sweden, most especially at 
Falun.

VERY SCARCE. This important dissertation to which 
Petrus Castorin was respondent, is a greatly expanded and 
revised edition of Bergman's previous Chemisk Afhandling 
om järnmalmus proberaride (Upsala, 1777). The text 
gives detailed and practical methods for qualitative and 
quantitative analysis of 15 different metals in ores, 
including silver, mercury, lead, iron, copper and zinc. The 
wet method of analysis is recommended because of its 
accuracy and reliablity even though it takes considerably 
longer to perform than the dry method. A new edition 
appears in the Opuscule, (vol. 2, 1780, pp. 399-454). 

Per Castorin. (BORN: Grythytte, Sweden, 19 October 
1761; DIED: Elfvestorp, Sweden, 20 January 1808) Swedish 
mining expert. Castorin became the third generation of 
his family to attend the Swedish Mining Academy. He 
matriculated at the University of Upsala in 1774, and 
graduated in 1780. He worked at the Swedish mining 
centers of Grythytte and Hällefors and Hjulsjö.

VERY SCARCE. This highly important dissertation 
to which Johann Gadolin was respondent examines the 
impurities in iron from different sources. The list 

of impurities found includes sulfur, plumbago (carbon), 
arsenic, zinc and manganese. Results are provided for 
analyses of various samples of iron and 273 experimental 
tests are cited. It establishes that a successively greater 
amount of iron is fond in wrought iron, steel and cast 
iron, and thus helped define quality in steel. Revised and 
enlarged in the Opuscuia (vol. 3, 1783, pp. 1-108).

Johan Gadolin. (BORN: Abo near Helsingfors 

(Helsinki), Finland, 5 June 1760; DIED: Wirmo, Finland, 
15 August 1852) Finnish chemist. Son of astronomer and 
physicist Jacob Gadolin [1719-1802]. For a time, Johann 
was a student of BERGMAN at the University of Upsala. 
From 1786 to 1788, Johann traveled outland to complete his 
studies and broaden his knowledge. He became a docent 
at the University of Abo in 1789, and following GADD's 
death, he was appointed professor of chemistry; a post 
he held until 1822. He specilized in the analysis of rare 
earth elements, and is credited with the discovery in 1794 
of the element yttrium. Gadolin's mineral collection was 
destroyed in 1827 by fire when the Turku Academy burned 
down. Gadolin held membership in the Academy of Science 
in Stockholm. The mineral "Gadolinite" was name in his 
honor by M.H. Klaproth in 1802.

VERY SCARCE. In the forward, Bertele records 
that he was inspired to write this work as a result 
of studying the recent mineralogies of EhlMERLING, 
ESTNER and Reuss. He felt that his effort was more 
complete and understandable. The first portion of the 
text is an introduction to mineralogical science. The 
second and largest part is a descriptive mineralogy, 
organized along the chemical classification suggested by 
D.L.G. Kar.STEN's Mineralogischen Tabellen (Berlin, 
1800). An alphabetical list of all the mineralogical 
species contained is included at the beginning of the 
work.

BERTEREAU, Martine de Baronne de Beausoleil. 

(BORN: cl601; DlED: 1640) French woman mineralo- 
gist. 

Martine de Bertereau, an expert dowser, and her 
husband Jean de Chastelet, Baron de Beausoleil et 
d'Auffenbach, an expert in mineralogy and mining, made 
a name for themselves in 17th century Europe. Using 
a variety of hazel branches and metal rods, Martine 
reportedly located rich mineral and water deposits. But 
when the infamous French Cardinal Richelieu caught wind 
of exactly how Martine was prospecting, he pitched the 
couple into prison, along with two of their kids.

VERY RARE. Work on mining and mineralogy 
authored by the only documented woman mineralogist 
of her time. She married Jean Du Chatelet, Baron 
Beausoleil, inspector of mines of the German empire 
and together they visited the mines of South America, 
Hungary and Germany. When Beausoliel secured 
the authorization to survey the whole of the French 
territory for the discovery of mines and minerals, his 
wife accompanied him in his travels throughout France. 
This book is the outcome of their work. Written in 
the form of an appeal to Cardinal Richelieu to open 
and operate the French mines, it contains a long list 
of these mines, discusses all minerals found, speaks of 
different sciences to be studied by a mining expert. 
Ultimately, the author was imprisoned by order of 
Richelieu, because of suspicion of witchcraft in the use 
of divining rods. She died in prison.

SCARCE. Published with only initials on the 
title page to indicate the author, these stand for: 
Monsieur Bertrand, Conseiller Palatin de la Cour de 
Pologne. This small volume is a popular-style summary 
of mineralogical science designed to serve those who 
desired a ready made plan on which to arrange their 
cabinet of fossils and minerals. It includes a justification 
for the science of mineralogy, a brief summary of the 
science's theory, a survey of mineralogical literature and 
a systematic enumeration and description of minerals. 
The system outlined is based upon the standard classes.

SCARCE. An early comprehensive dictionary 
defining terms used in the 18th century study of 
oryctology, which by today's convention would include 
all of the earth sciences such as geology, mineralogy, 
crystallography, paleontology, and vulcanology. In 
the alphabetical list, various terms deal with earths, 
salts, sulfurs, bitumens, petroleum, simple and complex 
stones, common and precious gems, minerals, metals, 
petrifications of animals and plants, the latest theories 
on their formation, and their uses. In many instances 
a substantial definition is provided, which shows 
Bertrand's good knowledge of the subject. Volume one 
covers words beginning with the letters A to L, while 
volume 2 continues M to Z.

Recueil de Divers Traités, 1766 

VERY SCARCE. A reprint collection of six of 
Bertrand's earlier works including: Mémoire sur la 
structure intérieure de la terre — Essai sur les usages 
des montagnes — Mémoires historiques et physiques sur 
les tremblemens de terre — Essai d'une distribution 
méthodique des fossiles — Essai de rninérographie, 
et d'hydrographie du Canton de Berne — Lettre sur 
les inondations du Nil, et l'usage des montagnes de 
l'Abissinie — Lettre sur la diminution les mers, et 
l'origine de montagnes. An index at the end provides 
a listing of the titles of the works together with a 
breakdown of the important sections in each. 

Perhaps the most important monograph contained 
in the collection is the "Essai de rninérographie, et 
d'hydrographie du Canton de Berne." This is the first 
"Mineralography," which is a alphabetical listing of the 
Cantons throughout Switzerland, with details given of 
the minerals and therapeutic springs that may be found 
at each location. When this work was written, this 
was a quite new, and useful format for describing the 
mineral wealth of a geographical area. 

Another issue: Identical issue, with the date of 1767 is 
also recorded. 

Contents: I. Mémoires sur la structure intérieure de 
la Terre (in 3 parts, pp. 1-104). II. Essai sur les usages 
des montagnes (pp. 105-222). III. Mémoires historiques 
et physiques sur les tremblemens de terre (pp. 223-380). 
IV. Essai d'une distribution méthodique des fossiles (pp. 
381-434). V. Essai de rninérographie, et d'hydrographie du 
canton de Berne (pp. 435-486). VI. Essai de rninérographie

Rare. REWORK COMMENTARY: Containngthe 
first issue of volume one, dated 1790. One of the great 
illustrated juvenile series of the nineteenth century, 
Bertuch's Picture Book for Children is a magnificently 
illustrated childrens encyclopaedia of everything that 
was the largest publishing venture ever undertaken by 
Bertuch. Issued by monthly subscription the completed 
work published between 1790 and 1830 consisted of 
237 parts with a total of 1,185 hand-colored copper 
engravings. A complete set cost 120 Thaler or about 
twice the yearly salary of a common worker, yet by 
using the subscription method, the publiser was able to 
sell many sections. The Bilderbuch contains a pleasant 
collection of well illustrated natural history and science 
articles about animals, plants, flowers, fruits, minerals, 
insects. It is a substantial work, very popular in 
its time, as a tool for instruction through words and 
pictures. The publication history is complex because 
it was one of the largest publication projects of that 
time. The most complete sets of the Bilderbuch are 
composed of 12 volumes with accompanying text in 
German and French. The 12 volumes are structured 
in 14 Themes: quadruped animals, birds, fish, insects, 
plants, humans, worms, shells, corals, amphibian, 
minerals, buildings, antiquities and mixed objects. In 
1796 Bertuch began publishing the accompanying texts, 
helped by Karl Friedrich Funke [1752-1807]. The whole 
project becoming the first encyclopedia about nature 
and earth. Today, this work is sought after for the many 
quaint hand-colored illustrations it contains. 

This remarkable childern's work, which was being 
reissued even as the first edition was still bein published 
has a very difficult bibliography. This seven volume 
set usually contains a third revision of the first volume 
published in 1792, which prints Bertuch's name on the 
title page for the first time. The text has been reprinted 
with the French appearing with the German from page 
one, and all previous errata having been corrected. 
This is normally(?) the series that constitutes the 
first edition of Bertuch's Bilderbuch. Volumes 1-3 
have German and French on alternate pages, volumes 
4 through 7 are written in German, French, English, 
and Italian. Volumes 6 and 7 were prepared by Carl 
Bertuch, son of the author. Titles vary slightly from 
volume to volume.

RARE. Consists of a description of the three realms 
of nature, i.e. minerals, plants, and animals. Each 
of these kingdoms was described in two "Hefte," each 
containing 4 plates; therefore, the section on minerals 
was accompanied by a total of 8 plates. This work 
was published while the author's Bilderbuch was being 
published, and the plates are probablly extracted from 
that large work.

Berzelius 

BERZELIUS, Jöns Jakob. (BORN: Väversunda, 
Östergötland, Sweden, 20 August 1779; DIED: 
Stockholm, Sweden, 7 August 1848) Swedish chemist 
& mineralogist. 

Berzelius studied medicine and chemistry at the 
University of Uppsala, from which he graduated 1804. 
In 1806, he was appointed professor of chemistry at the 
University of Stockholm. He became a prolific researcher 
and editor. In 1810, Berzelius was elected president of the 
Academy of Science. He was greatly distinguished by his 
skill and precision as a chemical analyst (probably the best 
of his generation), and he contributed much to advance 
the atomic theory first stated by Dalton by proposing a 
chemical nomenclature based upon it.

Rare. The central premise of Berzelius' chemical 
theory was the duality of chemical compounds, in which 
he rigidly classified compounds and their components 
as either electronegative or electropositive. In the 
Försök, Berzelius for the first time gives an outline 
of his theory as it applies to the problem of mineral 
classification. Because distinguishing the elements of all 
compounds as either electropositive or electronegative, 
and giving to every element a place in a series, and 
a place defined by the degree of these relations, it 
seemed to provide a rigorous and complete principle 
of arrangement. Accordingly in the Försök, Berzelius 
arranged minerals by their electropositive element, and 
the elements according to their electropositive rank, 
thus supposedly removing all that was arbitrary and 
vague in previous chemical classifications of minerals. 

Minerals are nothing more than naturally 
occurring chemical combinations, and in applying his 
theoretical structure, Berzelius was in the eyes of 
many contemporaries, attempting to subjugate the 
science of mineralogy to a branch of chemistry. This 
caused rather strong arquments to rage in the scientific 
journals of the period as to the appropiateness of 
Berzelius' theory. This became especially evident 
when the discovery of isomorphism showed that bodies 
containing very different electropositive elements could 
not be distinguished from each other. It was therefore 
impractical to place them into different sections of 
the classification. Thus, this first system of Berzilius 
crumbled. 

Berzelius would not conceed defeat, and after 
confessing the flaw of his first system, he proceeded to 
realign his system to be based upon the electronegative 
element. This inversion of the systemwas an attempt 
to preserve the duality principle of arrangement. Thus, 
instead of arranging metallic minerals according to their 
metal under iron, copper, lead, etc., all carbonate 
minerals came into one category, while all oxides 
were classified together in another section. This was 
a great improvement over the previous effort, and 
eventually, the correctness of Berzelius' revised method 
was recognized, and improved upon. To this day, it 
is one of the cornerstones on which modern mineral 
classification rests. 

German, 1815: A translation in German was published 
serially in Schweigger's Journal für Chemie und Physik 
as "Veruch, durch Anwendung der electrisch-chemischen

300). The first two installments were translated by A.F. 
Gehlen and the last by W. Pfaff. The third installment 
consisted of five appendices that were part of the Swedish 
original of 1814. Once the publication was completed a 
very rare Sonderabdruck was made in a small edition and 
it consists of the first two installments only. It bears the

VERY SCARCE. Berzelius sent a copy of the 
Swedish edition to Thomas Thomson with the request 
that Thomson have it translated into English, correct 
the translation and have it published. This thomson 
did, having engaged the services of one John Black 
to render the translation. Berzelius was dissatisfied 
with the quality of the translation remarking in the 
French edition of 1819 "The English translation... is 
made unfortunately by someone that has no notion of 
mineralogy probably, because she/it is full of mistakes; 
and in many of places original's sense is all to - fact 
disfigured. She/it appeared cependent preceded of one 
preface of the doctor Thomson, that assured to have 
him confronted to the original, and that she/it was 
perfectly faithful." 

English translation by John Black from Försök, 
att, genom användandet af den electrokemiska. Theorien 
(Stockholm, 1814); the whole production supervised by 
Thomas Thompson, who also wrote the introduction. 
This is the first appearance in English of calculating 
the compositions of minerals on the basis of atomic 
theory, i.e. the law of multipule proportions and also 
of Berzelius' system of chemical symbols and formulae 
using the initial letters of the latinised names of the 
elements, and indicating the proportions of atoms 
present calculated according to the atomic weights, 
which has since been established as the standard form 
of chemical notation. 

Owing to the lack of mineral knowledge on the 
part of the translator Berzelius' work was ill received in 
England. In fact a reviewer called the work "the most 
devoted sacrifice to experiment to hypothesis which the 
modern history of chemistry presents. Berzelius' theory 
is the measure of his facts, and like the Grecian robber 
who extended his victims upon his bed, and cut them 
shorter, if they were too long, or stretched them, if too 
short, this chemical Procrustes screws his results to the 
preconceived limits of an empirical axiom."

RARE. After the publication of the original Försök 
in 1814, the noted mineralogist J. F.L. HAUSMANN wrote 
a highly critical review of the work. This provoked 
Berzelius to publish the Försök till ett rent kemiskt 
Mineralsystem in 1815. With the addition of this 
supplemenentary monograph Berzelius' mineralogy no 
longer looked like an "attempt" but a fully developed 
mineralogy. 

This is the separately printed expansion of 
Berzelius' mineral classification system, based upon the 
electropositive element. Whereas the Försök published 
in 1814 was a mere outline, the present title expands the 
theory to a full mineralogical classification. The work

Berzelius 



was originally published in Afhandlingar i Fysik, Kemi 
och Mineralogi (see: 4 (1815), 1-148). 

German, 1816: After its original appearance, Berzelius' 
chemical mineral system was soon thereafter translated into 
German by W. Pfaff and C. Gmelin and published as the 
article, "Versuch eines rein chemischen Mineralsystems" 
in .Schweigger's Journal (see: 15 (1815), 301-63 &z 419- 
51 & 22 (1818), 274-302). A last installment, containg 
the notes to the systematic arrangement of the minerals 
as they appeared in the original Swedish (pp. 117-148). 
was published in Schweigger's Journal, under the title, 
"Anmerkungen zu der Abhandlung: Versuch eines rein 
chemischen Mineralsystems." Aside from these notes, 
the monograph contains four parts: the first (pp. 301- 
23) offered direct responses to Hausmann's criticisms, the 
second (pp. 323-36) presented further articulations of the 
chemical and mineralogical concepts, the third (pp. 337- 
63) contained a critical discussion of previous mineral 
classifications, and the fourth (pp. 419-51) presented the 
full mineral system. The separate German edition of the 
mineralogy was issued as a very rare Sonderabdruck of the 
1815 translations by Gmelin and Pfaff. It contained the 
notes which appeared in it before they were published in 
Schweigger's Journal. It bears the title:

Christian Gottlob Gmelin. (BORN: Tübingen, Germany,

was a medical doctor, who had taken a long trip throughout 
France, England, Germany, Norway and Sweden, where he 
became a student of Berzelius. He was appointed in 1817 
a professor of chemistry and pharmacy at the University of 
Tübingen. 

Johann Wilhelm Andreas Pfaff. (BORN: Stuttgart, 

Germany, 5 December 1774; DIED: Erlangen, Germany, 26

SCARCE. This translation was prepared by ANDRÉ 
Jean Marie Brochant de Villiers from both the Försök, 
att, genom användandet af den electrokemiska Theorien 
(Stockholm, 1814) and the Försök till ett rent kemiskt 
Mineralsystem (Stockholm, 1815). Brochant alters the 
text in minor ways, and adds new mineral analyses and 
many more notes than appeared in the 1815 monograph. 
It was prepared while Berzelius was visiting Berthollet 
at Arcueil in 1818-19, and incorporates new information 
Berzelius supplied to the translator. This was a tremendous 
improvement over the other translations, and it is the 
definitive statement of Berzelius' chemical mineralogical 
classification. 

Another translation: A bad translation of Berzelius' 
theory that appeared in the Journal de Physique (see: 1 
(1815), 86).

SCARCE. Berzelius was instructed in the use 
of the blowpipe by the greatest living practitioner of 
the period, Johann Gottlieb Gahn. Every summer 
between 1812 and 1816, Berzelius visited Gahn in Falun. 
Together they would visit the famous mineral localities 
of the area, and every new find was subjected to analysis 
back in Gahn's laboratory. There, Berzelius learned a 
great deal of the methodology of blowpipe technique. 
During a journey through England and France in 1819, 
he had occasion to instruct Parisian mineralogists such 
as Cordier, Bronigart, Brochant and Beudant in the use

of the blowpipe, and before Berzelius left Paris he had 
promised to write a manual on the use of this important 
tool. 

On his return to Sweden, he kept his promise by 
authoring the classic book, Om Blåsrörets Användande 
i Kemien och Mineralogien (Employment of the 
Blowpipe in Chemistry and Mineralogy). In it, he 
summarizes all aspects of blowpipe analysis in clear 
and simple language. Berzelius describes seven different 
types of blowpipes in detail as well as a special oil 
lamp of his own design. He distinguishes four zones of 
the blowpipe flame, and was the first to use the terms 
"oxidation" and "reduction" in the modern definition. 
In 1809, Wollaston had successfully isolated platinum, 
and this enabled Berzelius to describe his use of the 
metal in making dishes, crucibles and spoons for use 
in his experiments before the powerful blowpipe flame. 
He introduces the use of hydrogen fluoride as a reagent, 
and describes the reactions and reductions of the newer 
elements. 

Johan Gottlieb Gahn. (BORN: Ovanåker, Sweden, 

19 August 1745; DIED: Falun, Sweden, 8 December 1818) 
Swedish chemist. Gahn was successively consultant (1768), 
mining master (1782) and assessor (1784) at the Swedish 
Berg Collegium. He was also involved in the banking 
industry at Stora Kopparberget. Elected a fellow of the 
Academy of Sciences in Stockholm in 1784.

Josiah Dwight Whitney. (BORN: Massachusetts, 1819; 
DIED: 1896) American geologist. Whitney was state geologist 
for California from 1865 until 1882. In that capacity he 
made an extensive survey of the land with William H. 
Brewer, Clarence King, Lorenzo Yates and others. He 
authored a number of important books, including, Metallic 
Wealth of the United States (1854), Mountain Heights in the 
United States (1862), and The Yosernite Book (1868), a 
beautifully illustrated and rare book. In 1864, he measured 
the highest peak in the continental United States, which 
was later named a Mt. Whitney in his honor.

RARE. In 1847, towards the end of Berzelius' 
life, Gmelin, Pfaff and Rammelsberg, his former 
students and associates honored their colleague with 
the publication of this volume. It contains German 
translations of seven memoirs authored by Berzelius 
relating to the classification of minerals. Two of these 
memoirs refer to Berzelius' two classification schemes, 
the earliest based upon the electropositive element and 
the later which differentiated by the electronegative 
element. Other memoirs answer various critics of 
the classification scheme, while the last paper by 
Rammelsberg is a survey of the mineral kingdom upon 
the lines laid down by Berzelius.

Besler 

BESLER, Basilius. (BORN: Nürnberg, Germany, 13 
February 1561; DIED: Nürnberg, Germany, 13 March 
1629) German apothecary & botanist. 

From 1589 to 1629, Besler was an apothecary and 
from 1594 a leading citizen of Nuremberg. He founded 
a natural history cabinet and a botanical garden. He is 
considered the best botanist of his time. His principle 
work in the field and that on which his reputation rests 
is the highly illustrated work, Hortus Eystettensis (1st 
ed., Nürnberg, 1613). It consists of large folio volume 
containing 366 exquisite plates with descriptive letterpress 
that picture about 1,000 plant species in full bloom.

Oblong 4°: 25£., consisting of an engraved title 
page and 24 engraved plates. A dedication leaf may 
also accompany some copies. The date of publication is 
derived from the title page chronogram, "Anno Christi 
DoMInl SerVatorls Verl." The title page is engraved by 
Hans Troschel after Peter Isselburg's design. PAGE SIZE: 
220 x 310 mm. 

CONTENTS: Engraved title page, verso blank.; 24 
plates. 

Rare. A suite of engravings by P. Isselburg and 
H. Troschel [see notes below] illustrating the contents 
of Besler's 'Wunderkammer' located in Nürnberg. This 
was among the first such natural history collections in 
Germany, and like its Italian counterparts contained 
all manner of natural objects. The engraved title 
depicts Besler showing a visitor his cabinet, while 
a servant advances offering a saurian skull. There 
are drawers labeled Conchylia, Fructus, Lapides, 
shelves with chameleons, shells, an auk's egg, dried 
eels, while hanging from the wall and ceiling are a 
sawfish skull, bird of paradise, unicorn horns, various 
serpents, and a blowfish. Other shelves support a 



row of books, apothecary jars, branches of coral, etc. 
There is no text to the work instead there are 24 
engraved plates illustrating the contents of the cabinets. 
Every illustration is named and some have short 
accompanying descriptions in Latin and German. The 
plates are grouped into 6 of Marina, showing specimens 
of wonder from the sea, 2 of Conchylia, showing 
remarkable shells, 6 of Fructus depicting seeds and fruit, 
4 of Animalia picturing chameleons, crocodiles, snakes, 
an armadillo, etc. and 6 of Lapides, including fossils, 
corals, and minerals. Only the engraved title is signed 
Petrus Isselburg, but he is probably responsible for the 
design of all the engravings. 

Peter (Petrus) Isselburg (Eisselburg). (BORN: Cologne, 
Germany, cl568; DIED: Bamburg or Nürnberg, Germany, 
cl630) German draughtsman, engraver & printer. Isselburg is 
thought to have been a student of Crispijn van de Passe I or 
another Netherlandish artist. His work is known from 1606, 
when he was in Cologne, primarily producing frontispieces 
and prints for Cologne printers. By 1610 he was resident 
in Nuremberg. His work encompassed a broad spectrum 
of subjects, including portraits of scholars, generals and 
secular and clerical princes. His city panoramas are of 
historical interest and are distinguished by great technical 
proficiency. He also left a large number of sheets with 
emblems, costumes and scenes from history. In 1622 he 
left Nuremberg, subsequently moving to Bamberg in 1623, 
where he became a printer (1625), then to Coburg cl626 
and back to Nuremberg in 1630. He was regarded as one 
of the most important German artists in his day. 

Hans Troschel (Troschel). (BORN: Nuremberg, 

Germany, 21 September 1585; DIED: Rome, Italy, 19 May 
1628) German draughtsmen & engraver. Troschel trained in 
Nuremberg with Peter Isselburg, for whom he later worked. 
Emperor Matthias's Entry into Nuremberg on 3 July 1612 
was one of his first works. Signed and dated engravings and 
drawings increased after 1616. He worked partly from his 
own drawings and partly after drawings by other artists. 
Besides portraits and coats of arms he engraved views 
of Nuremberg, genre scenes and themes. His drawings 
consist mainly of studies of heads and figures. In 1624 
Troschel moved to Rome, where his work was influenced 
by Francesco Villamena.

History 



Besler 



in the publication of the first edition in 1616. 

RARE. Although stated to be a 'Continuatio' on the 
title page, this is a reissue of the original 24 plates of the 
first edition of 1616, together with a modified title leave, 
7 new engraved plates, and an engraved dedication leave 
in Latin that might in some cases be found in the 1616 
edition. Therefore, the text consists of 31 plates illustrating 
natural history specimens, which are labeled in Latin and 
German. Besides the original plates, an additional 6 show 
Lapides and one more Fructus. The title engraving is 
reused from the 1616 printing, with only the wording of 
the title changed.

VERY RARE. Basil Besler's [1561-1629; see entry 
above] Wunderkammer was inherited by his nephew 
Michael Rupert Besler, who added to the cabinet. 
The work published here catalogs his additions. It 
is a treasury of natural objects from the realms 
of the vegetable, animal and mineral. It contains 
standard items including a unicorn horn, a beak of a 
hornbill, a bird of paradise, a carved nautilus shell, an 
'Arcimboldo' grotesques of shells, pyritzed ammonites, 
asbestos, 'ruin' marble, engraved gems and antique 
coins. Rare plants and birds are illustrated along 
with ethnological items such as a Brazilian Indian 
girdle made from nuts of the Brazilian tree Cerbera 
ahovai. The image of this plate was used for the border 
of Valentini's Museum Museroum (Frankfurt, 1714). 
The very attractive engraved title shows emblematic 
medallions, with a rhinoceros, a unicorn, an ostrich, 
an elephant, a cornucopia and flowers with in a walled 
garden, and an alchemical symbol. These plates 
were reissued in 1716 and again in 1733, with added 
letterpress title in red and black and in German and 
Latin, and a short descriptive text in Latin and German. 
The first two issues were without text.

Beudant 

BEUDANT, François Sulpice. (BORN: Paris, France, 
5 September 1787; DlED: Paris, France, 10 December 
1850) French geologist & mineralogist. 

Beudant was educated at the Ecole Polytechnic in 
Paris. He was named professor of mathematics at the 
Lycée d'Avignon in 1811, before being appointed professor 
of physics at the Lycée de Marselilles in 1813. Beudant 
learned his mineralogy in 1814 when he was sent by Louis 
XVIII to England to collect the recently purchased mineral 
collection of Bournon. When a government sponsored 
expedition was made to the Balkans in 1818, Beudant was 
in the group as mineralogist and geologist. In 1820, he was 
appointed Inspector-General of the University. Beudant 
was elected a member of the French Academy of Science in 
1824.

SCARCE. This summary of the mineralogy and 



geology of Hungary, is based on observations made by 
Beudant while conducting an extensive French state 
sanctioned exploration through the Austro-Hungarian 
Empire. It is the earliest and most detailed geological 
survey of the Balkans, including not only what is 
now Hungary, but also parts of Yugoslavia, Austria, 
Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia. Within 
the atlas are a very detailed geological map of Chemnitz 
and its surroundings (now in Hungary) and also other 
areas such as Transylvania being the southern part of 
this important mining region on the Balkan. These are 
among the earliest geological maps of any part of the 
European Continent. Madure is critical of the work, 
saying: "This whole work is a specimen of book making. 
All that can possibly be useful, in mineralogy or geology, 
might, with much ease, have been put into 50 pages, 
and the reader saved the labor of turning over from 
1500 to 1800 pages of repetitions and descriptions of the 
same rocks, a thousand times over, creating confusion 
and fatigue, without leaving in the mind any defined 
ideas on the subject" (AJS, 7 1824). Sinkankas draws 
attention to Beudant's description of opal mines in the 
Dubnik area and his discussion of the opal.

SCARCE. A highly regarded textbook, considered 
at the time of its publication to be the best authority 
in French mineralogy, and used in centers of higher 
learning throughout France. At its appearance it was 
the best treatment of Berzelius chemical classification 
of minerals. In the first portion, Beudant provides 
a comprehensive introduction to mineralogical science, 
including definitions, crystallography, physical and 



chemical properties, nomenclature, and an overview of 
his system of classification. The bulk of the volume 
is a descriptive mineralogy arranged according to this 
classification. Tables at the end provide an analysis of 
the specific wieghts of simple bodies and acids and a 
description of a new form of goniomenter. 

Earlier mineralogical investigations, particularly 
experiments with carbonates and other salts, showed 
Beudant a relationship between chemistry and crystal 
form that he expressed as Beudant's law. In essence, 
he discovered that when two compounds were dissolved 
within the same solution and precipitated together, the 
properties of the resulting crystal were determined by 
both substances. For example, the interfacial angle 
would have a value intermediate between the angles 
of the original compounds and proportional to the 
amount of the compound within the crystal. Within the 
Traité Beudant expands upon the relationship between 
chemistry and crystal form by developing a system of 
classification based on a mineral's chemical makeup. 

The system Beudant adopts was a device of his 
own research in which he follows Berzelius and utilizes 
the electronegative component of the mineral to arrange 
it within the system. He begins by writing how 
unscientific the current state of mineralogy is, and 
his wish to remove everything arbitrary in classifying 
minerals. After surveying the various properties of 
minerals, he defines mineralogy as the "la réunion 
des minéraux de même composition." To present the 
idea to the reader, he ranks the known elements into 
three groups: Gazolyten (make volatile compounds), 
Leucolyten (produce uncolored oxide compounds) and 
Chrocolyten (combine into colored compounds). Under 
each of these groups are now creates subgroups based 
upon the minerals' electronegative element, taking 
into account isomorphic substances. Thus, mineral 
groups such as carbonates are found together in the 
system. Beudant provides supporting evidence for the 
correctness of the system by showing the similarity in 
physical properties of minerals within with in these 
groups, thus anticipating Gmelin who a short time later 
showed the influence of the electronegative element on 
crystal form and physical properties. Beudant then 
continues to subdivide the system into various series 
by his own analogies. 

Beudant strongly believed chemistry and the 
conditions during a minerals formation determined its 
crystallography. He writes that the diverse crystal 
forms of the same substance was not mere chance, 
but controlled by the chemical conditions of the 
environment when the crystal formed. He points 
out that the same crystal forms are seen at different 
localities where analogous geological conditions are 
found. Conversely, when neighboring minerals and 
rocks were different, a different crystal form would also 
occur. 

In the use of chemical formulae, Beudant accepted 
Berzelius idea of using symbols to describe elements 
within formulae of the mineral species, however, in the 
Traité he modified the symbols to be based upon the

Beudant 



French names of the elements rather than the Latin 
proposed by Berzelius. Thus he wrote E (Êtain), M 
(Mercure), O (Or), Ох (Oxigene), etc. Berzelius took 
exception to this display of French pride, and pointed 
out that if each nation were to do the same modification, 
all advantage to the precise communication among 
chemists would be lost. In the second edition of the 
Traite, Beudant changed his symbols so as to conform 
with the Latinized names of Berzelius.

VERY SCARCE. Scarce. This much expanded 

and improved edition reflects the tremendous strides 
mineralogy and chemistry made during the first part of 
the nineteenth century. Adopted by the Royal Council of 
Public instruction for the teaching in the royal colleges, 
this was the leading textbook in mineralogical science in 
France for many years. Volume one gives crystallography, 
properties, chemistry, classification, occurences, economic 
mineralogy. Volume two is a descriptive mineralogy, barge 
folding tables showing the overall classification of certain 
mineral groups are bound into the second volume.

Carl Friedrich Alexander Hartmann. (BORN: Zorge 

near Walckenriedt, Harz, Germany, 8 January 1796; DIED: 
beipzig, Germany, 3 August 1863) German mineralogist, 
mining expert & metallurgist. Hartmann was the son of a 
foundry official in the Oberharz, a prolific mining/mineral 
district in Germany. From these roots, he developed 
an early interest in mining and metallurgy, and through 
family connections secured a position as a student at 
the mining school in Clausthal, Austria. Although his 
studies were interrupted from 1813 to 1816 by a stretch 
in the German army fighting Napoleon, he resumed his 
education afterward, becoming an assistant to CHRISTIAN 
SAMUEL WEISS at the University of Berlin. In 1821, while 
still a student, Hartmann entered into a marriage that he 
could not financially support; therefore, he was obligated 
to leave the University and accept a bookkeeping position 
in Brunswick to provide for his family. His discretion 
and conscientiousness often meant being entrusted with 
important assignments. However, all spare time away 
from work or family was devoted to private study in the 
areas of geology, mining and mineralogy. His publications 
and translations in these fields brought him recognition 
and opportunities to travel throughout Europe. They 
also brought an appointment as commissioner of mines 
for Brunswick in 1825. Hartmann held membership in 
many scientific and technical societies, including Societät 
für die Gesamte Mineralogie of Jena and the Society for 
Mineralogy in St. Petersburg.

VERY SCARCE. This heavily illustrated mineralogy 
text, a standard work and very popular in its day, was 
apparently first printed in 1840. It was subsequently 
reissued in France with new title pages proclaiming new 
editions for the next 46 years, and it had translations 
into Italian, German, and Polish. Apparently, only 
the first issues of the mineralogy were printed as 
separate volumes, usually without years. There after, 
the mineralogical text was combined with Beudant's 
Géologie (1st ed., Paris, 1840-1), creating a richly 
illustrated volume of mineralogy and geology, which 
changed little in its content during its long history of 
publication. 

The introductory part of the volume is sectioned 
into five areas: (1) differences between organic and 
mineral bodies, providing definition and purpose of 
mineralogy and geology, (2) optical and physical 
properties of minerals, (3) chemical compostion of 
minerals, and (4-5) the classification of minerals. A 
table of mineral species and a descriptive mineralogy 
follow. The book concludes with an index. 

Within the volume main topics include a survey 
of crystals and crystallography, odd crystallizations, 



ideas on the internal crystalline structure, optical 
and physical properties, the chemical composition 
of minerals, mineral classification, and general 
observations. Illustrations show the goniometers 

of Wollaston and Babinet, a multitude of various 
crystal forms and combinations, double refraction, and 
minerals specimens. 

The geological volume that is usually found bound 
with the mineralogy describes current phenomena 
(i.e., earthquakes, volcanic phenomena, outside agent 
influence), the application to the old phenomena 
(central heat - deposits attributable to sediments - 
to uprisings - volcanic action - erosion of waters), 
composition of the terrestrial crust, the phenomenon of 
crystallization, a survey of the geological composition 
of France, discussion on the geologic age of disasters, 
and the geological state of Europe.

BlRINGUCCI, Vannoccio. (BORN: Sienna, Italy 
Born:, baptised, 20 October 1480; DIED: Rome, Italy, 
August 1539) Italian metallurgist & chemist. 

As a young man, Biringuccio travelled throughout 
Italy and Germany, inspecting metallurgical operations, 
and working in thern. After running an iron mine and forge 
at Boccheggiano for Pandolfo Petrucci, the ruler of Siena, 
he was forced to leave when Petrucci was overthrown. At 
some point he was in charge of a silver mine in Garinthia 
(until 1508). He was in Milan for a time and then in Ferrara 
in the service of Alfonso d'Kste. When he returned to Siena 
with Petrucci, he was appointed (by Petrucci) to a post 
with arsenal at Siena and in 1513 director of the mint. In 
1516, after the fall of the Petrucci family, he was exiled 
again. He returned with the Petrucci once more in 1523, 
and was exiled again in 1526. In the fighting in 1526 at 
Siena he commanded the artillery. Thereafter he served 
the Venetian and Florentine republics, and cast cannon 
and built fortifications for the Este and Farnese families. 
At some point he also served Pier Luigi Farnese, Duke of 
Parma. In 1531, with a new reconciliation he returned to 
Siena as senator and as architect and director of building 
construction at the Duomo. In 1534 he was appointed head 
of the papal foundry and director of papal munitions and 
captain of the papal artillery. His reputation is derived 
from the posthumous publication of his Pirotechnia (1540).

De la Pirotechnia, 1540 

the first printed treatise covering the whole field 
of metallurgy, but it is also full of mineralogy, 
applied chemistry, gunpowder manufacture, military 
arts, typecasting and fireworks information. It is a 
practical work, mostly of original observations and 
based upon first-hand information gathered by the 
author during his lifetime of employment in mines, 
forges, mints, cannon foundries, and munitions works. 
Atypical of his time, Biringucci is not prone to mystical 
speculation in his descriptions, and consequently the 
book is one of the most remarkable records of sixteenth 
century technology. Unfortunately, Biringucci was gone 
by the time the manuscript reached publication, and 
consequently, some of the topics covered are not as clear 
as perhaps the author could have made them, had he 
lived. 

The prologue of the text deals with the signs that 
indicate the occurrence of minerals. Among several 
indicators are the abundance of water since metals 
are formed in water and a test for mineralization by 
evaporating the water and subjecting the residue to 
assay by fire. Book I describes the ores of gold, silver, 
copper, lead, tin, iron, steel (which he thought was 
very pure iron) and brass. Book II covers the semi- 
minerals such as mercury, sulfur, antimony, rnarcasite, 
vitriols, alum, arsenic, orpiment and realgar, common 
salt, saltpeter, sal ammoniac, sal alkali, emery, borax, 
magnet, etc. Book III describes the preparation of 
ores for assaying and smelting. Book IV concerns the 
separation of gold and silver, with detailed instructions

for preparing nitric acid from saltpeter and pure alum. 
Book V describes common metal alloys and Book VI 
provides full instructions for casting bronze, including 
canon and bells. Books VII-VIII deal with foundry 
work, furnaces and casting. Book IX provides the first 
published description of the amalgamation process for 
extracting silver from its ores, by grinding in a mill 
with sublimate, verdigris, common salt, vinegar and 
mercury. Book IX deals with distillation, while Book X 
on pyrotechnics describes the preparation of incendiary 
mixtures, such as gun powder manufacture, bombs and 
other explosive devices. 

Biringucci's description of metal alloys and their 
casting excels those of Ercker and Agricola, and his 
sections on glass, steel and the purification of salts by 
crystallization were copied by Agricola in his famous De 
Re Metallica. (1st ed., Basilae, 1556). For its account 
of the methods of casting medallions, statues, and 
bells, the Pirotechnia is important in art history. Its 
also contains an important account of typecasting. In 
chemistry Biringucci includes the first account of silver 
amalgamation, and early descriptions of antimony, 
cobalt blue and manganese.

RARE, although the royal privilege is dated 1552, this 
book was not published until 1556. It is a translation by 
"feu maistre" Jaques Vincent, and is dedicated to Jehan 
de la Marche. The text is excellently printed and the 
illustrations well copied. However, the translation is not 
particularly good, having omissions, condensations and 
misinterpertations. It was the three French editions that 
most English writers have used for source material, thereby 
providing a false interpertation of Biringucci's ideas.

SCARCE. In 1848 Bischof began to publish his 
enormous Lehrbuch der chemischen und physikalischen 
Geologie, which soon became the standard geochemical 
text, and helped to found the studies of geochemistry 
and petrology. It supported a new line of thought, the 
'neoneptunistic'. Bischof in his first volume is clearly 
a plutonist and opposed neptunist views; however, as 
the work progressed, and he made the intensive studies 
in connection with the Lehrbuch, he became more 
convinced of the large role water played in the geological 
process. His discussion of this role and the thoughts put 
down in the Lehrbuch acted as a catalyst on further 
research in geochemistry and petrology throughout the 
19th century, especially in Europe. 

Having a chemical background made Bischofs 
experimental work eminently sound, although some 
of his generalizations as applied to petrology and the 
geological process failed. The first volume of the

Lehrbuch is concerned with various aspects of hydrology 
and the effect of water on rock surfaces, in pore and joint 
spaces, and in subterranean passages. His scientific 
account of springs is well illustrated with observations 
of such phenomena in the Rhine Valley. He was among 
the first to repudiate the plutonic theory for the origin 
of large salt beds, attributing them instead to the 
desiccation of large lakes as evidenced by the Dead and 
Caspian seas. He also investigated water as a chemical 
reagent under the regime of weathering, and also as a 
hydrothermal and hydration agent. 

With respect to coal, Bischof concluded that the 
characteristic chemical and physical constitution of the 
different varieties of coal had been determined by the 
amount of air admitted and the accompanying heat 
and pressure. Thus he estimated that because of the 
substance lost in the process of coalification, it took 80 
feet of plant material to yield three feet of coal. 

The second volume of his work dealt with chemical 
mineralogy and petrology. Even today, the work 
retains its high value because of the numerous and 
careful rock analyses. However, his generalizations were 
formulated around the Neptunian Theory. Therefore 
he concluded that all rock minerals except augite and 
leucite could have originated from aqueous solutions 
under atmospheric temperature and pressure and that 
their origin from fused rook was exceptional. These 
conclusions were based on the similarity of the chemical 
composition of many volcanics with that of graywacke 
and slate. In one of his many experiments, Bischof 
melted large balls of basalt and by observations of 
their cooling period, he calculated that the complete 
solidification of the earth took 350 million years. 
Bischof, together with his contemporaries, Roemer, 
Goldfuss, and Vom Rath, made the University of Bonn 
one of the leading schools in geological research during 
the middle 19th century.

BIXBY, Maynard. (BORN: Vermont, U.S.A., 1853; 
DIED: Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A.?, after 1920) 
American mineral dealer & collector. 

Bixby was a professional "rockhound" in the truest 
meaning ofthat description. He collected minerals from the 
Tintic and other Utah mining districts. These specimens, 
which he sold from his Salt Lake City premises at 539 Atlas 
Block, now reside in many of the world's finest museums. 
The mineral species "Bixbyite," which he first discovered, 
is named in his honor.

BLAKE, William Phipps. (BORN: New York City, 
New York, U.S.A., 1 June 1826; DIED: Berkeley, 
California, 22 May 1910) American mineralogist, 
geologist & mining expert. 

Blake was educated at Yale (chemistry, Ph.D., 1852) 
and received an advanced degree from the University of 




Blake 



California at Berkeley (LL.D., 1910). From 1852 to 1854, 
he worked as a chemist for the New Jersey Zinc Company. 
In 1854, he was appointed geologist for the Pacific Railroad 
Survey, a post that occupied him until 1856. Blake then 
became a mining consultant. In this capacity he made an 
extensive examination of the mineral resources of North 
Carolina, and founded in 1859, the Mining Magazine, of 
which he was editor. At the behest of the government, he 
was among the first foreigners to examine from 1861 to 1863 
the mineral resources of Japan. On his return he explored 
the Stickeen River region of Alaska, and discovered the 
Stickeen glacier. In 1864, he became state mineralogist for 
California. From 1895 until 1905, Blake was the professor 
of geology and mining as well as director of the School 
of Mines at the University of Arizona. He also took on 
the added responsibility in 1898 of becoming the territorial 
mineralogist for Arizona.

engraved plate. 

RARE. REWORK COMMENTARY: Prepared by Franz 
Georg Benkert, this description of Blank's collection of 
paintings also contains supplementary material concerning 
his natural history cabinet. 

The present work describes 61 landscape pictures 
(including a few portraits) and 133 bird pictures. In 
the introduction Blank gives a vivid account of his 
working methods and of a mammoth archive of naturalia 
collected on his travels and acquired from across the world, 
which he used in his work. None of Blanks work has 
endured the ravages of time and the only survivor in the 
Würzburg collection is a portrait of King Max I Joseph 
of Bavaria, executed by Blanks assistant Barbara Thein, 
and by a curious coincidence the frontispiece of the present 
catalogue. A first description of Blanks artistic output 
was published in 1796, the present edition is enlarged. 
Blanks Naturgemälde were displayed in the natural history 
cabinet of Würzburg University (whose curator Blank was 
and a description of which is appended). According to 
Thieme/Becker his work was a Europe wide attraction at 
the beginning of the 19th century.

the text in print. It is revised by A.G. Desmarest 
[1784-1838] and the chemist Jean Sebastian Julia de 
Fontenelle [1790-1842], and was a popular textbook in 
its day delivering a standard approach to the study 
of mineralogy. The text covers basic definitions, 
crystallography, fracture, luster, hardness, color, optics, 
transparency, chemical composition, nomenclature, and 
mineral classification. A long section at the end 
provides a descriptive mineralogy. 

According to the advertisement: "Entirely recast

Blum 

BLUM, Johann Reinhard. (BORN: Hanau, Germany, 
28 October 1802; DIED: Heidelberg, Germany, 22 
August 1883) German mineralogist. 

Blum was professor of mineralogy at the University 
of Heidelberg becoming professor emeritus in 1877. He was 



also for many years the director of the University's mineral 
collection.

8°: [l]-72 p., 4 plates. PAGE SIZE: 214 x 130 mm. 

RARE. The author's first important work showing 
a careful analysis of the lapidary knowledge of his 
time much of it gathered through personal experience 
after researching the topic for several years. The 
history of the gemstones Blum describes is given 
together with numerous footnote citations. He includes 
descriptions of the apparatus used to fashion the rough 
into sparkling gems.

8°: xvi, 356 p., 6 lithographic plates (folding). 

VERY SCARCE. Using his Die Schmuck-Steine und 
deren Bearbeitung (Heidelberg, 1828) as a foundation, 
Blum wrote this popular pocketbook of gemstones from 
a mineralogical standpoint. Taking advantage of recent 
discoveries in optical properties and other physical 
properties those mineral species that are deemed to be 
gemstones are fully and described. The first section 
of the book provides an overview of the properties 
and the determinative tests used to identify gemstones. 
Blum then gives a discussion of the lapidary art. The 
remainder and largest section of the book describes 
individual gemstone mineral species, giving synonyms, 
properties, occurrences, methods of lapidary treatment, 
etc. Blum's work was popular with three editions 
appearing.

earlier editions, Blum includes information on gemstone 
history, occurances, nomenclature, lapidary treatment, 
etc., but now also includes notes on gemstone synthesis, 
imitation stones and inclusions. Sinkankas notes 
that this book was succeeded by Wilhelm Rau's

VERY SCARCE. This is the first appearance of 
Blum's popular textbook of mineralogy, which would 
go through four editions to 1874. Typical information 
about mineralogical subjects is covered in a well written 
style, that no doubt helped to introduce a complex 
subject to many students. Although some theoretical 
material is covered, Blum concentrates on the practical 
aspects of the science, deriving his text from Kobell's 
Charakteristik der Aiineralien, Naumann's Mineralogie 
and Leonhard's Oryktognosie. For more detailed 
information, Blum refers the reader to one of the more 
advanced textbooks.

Pseudomorphosen des Mineralreichs, 1843 

RARE. The classic, fundamental work on 

pseudomorphs that has never been surpassed. The 
book begins with a review of previous research, 
discussion of the same, and the author's reasons for 
dividing pseudomorphs into the two broad classes 
of alteration pseudos and replacement pseudos. In 
detailed descriptions of 263 known pseudomorphs, 
Blum provides a thorough discussion of previous 
research, rich references, and locality information. 
Through this work, Blum was among the first to show 
the importance of chemistry in several pseudomorphic 
processes, especially in the replacement process, which 
was later shown to be one of the principle processes 
involved in forming economic ore deposits. This basic 
text was maintained and heavily augmented over the 
next 36 years by four additional supplements. See below 
for their descriptions.

minerals are cited (pp. 73-75, 141-150). Söchting 
summarized the prior work of Blum, Leonhard, and 
Bischof on the occurrence of minerals included in other 
minerals. Söchting also lists a number of minerals that 
have been found in quartz. Occurrences of asphalt, 
petroleum, and water in quartz are mentioned. He 
shows that the presence of inclusions with low melting 
or decomposition temperatures can be used to prove 
that the quartz in many cases could not have been 
deposited from molten condition. Also discussed are 
the occurrence of broken tourmaline needles in quartz.

Blumenbach 

BLUMENBACH, Johann Friedrich. (Born: Gotha, 
Germany, 11 May 1752; DlED: Göttingen, Germany, 
22 January 1840) German physician, biologist & 
naturalist. 

Blumenbach studied medicine at Jena and Göttingen, 
from which he received his M.D. in 1775. He was 



appointed professor ordinary of medicine and anatomy at 
the University of Göttingen in 1778, where he had a 50 
year career. Considered one of the founders of modern 
anthropology, Blumenbach was the first to divide the 
human species into five races, i.e., Caucasian, Mongolian, 
Malay, American and African or Kthiopian. Blurnenbach 
was a member of about seventy learned societies. He was 
made a knight of the Guelphic order in 1821.

In his other work, Handbuch der Naturgeschichte 
(1779), he presented a compelling argument that 
zoological classifications should and could be based on 
structures associated with an animals specific functions. 
With his approach, he made an important contribution 
to the development of comparative primate anatomy. 
He noted that humans possessed a unique suite 
of anatomical characteristics that proved they were 
exclusively designed stand and walk upright (Spencer 
185). Blurnenbach began to separate human beings 
from apes, suggesting that Homo be assigned to a 
different and separate zoological order. This technique 
of separation between humans and apes were widely 
adopted and continued to the mid- 19th century. 

Blurnenbach view of the nature was a philosoph- 
ical one; he searched for the causes of things, not sat- 
isfying himself with the mere counting and description 
of phenomena. He approached anthropology with the 
mind of the natural scientist. He recognised that, in 
the same way as domestic animals come in varieties, all 
known groups of mankind originated from one common, 
basic race, which he divided into five. His activity as a

Blumenbach 



teacher comprised three fields of natural history: min- 
eralogy, botany, and zoology, the latter being his main 
discipline. 

Blumenbach's Handbuch der Naturgeschichte 
(1779) is the first authored on a anatomical- 
physiological basis. It went through many editions 
and was translated into many languages. Although 
Blumenbach tended to follow the Linnean system, this 
work ushered in a new era in natural history. It 
contains an abundance of new or hitherto insufficiently 
evaluated morphological and ecological findings, from 
which Blumenbach drew conclusions that led to a more 
modern concept of the plant and animal kingdoms. He 
concluded from the spread of certain parasites found 
only in the domestic pig that such parasites did not 
exists as long as pigs were not domesticated and that 
they could therefore not possibly have existed since 
the creation of the world. Such ideas, revolutionary 
in their day, were carefully presented in various places 
in the Handbuch, and were demonstrated by concrete 
examples. 

In connection with the morphological analysis 
and geological dating of fossil plants and animals, 
Blumenbach developed ideas that were still unknown 
to most of the scientists of his day and were touched 
upon by only a few others, such as Soulavie. He came to 
the conclusion that there had been groups of plants and 
animals, now extinct, which could not be classified in 
the system of recent forms of life, and he even attempted 
to draw up a geological-paleontological time scale.

205. Second revised and expanded edition of highly 
influential work on natural history that "ushered in a 
new era in the advancement of science" (DSB). In this 
handbook Blumenbach included a wealth of morphological 
and ecological findings. He stated for instance that 
parasites found in domestic pigs did not exist as long as 
pigs were not domesticated, and therefore they could not 
have existed since the creation of the world. Based on 
his morphological analysis and geological dating of fossil 
plants and animals, he said that certain forms of plant 
and animal life had not only become extinct but also 
could not be classified in the system of recent forms of 
life. Blumenbach therefore was one of the earliest thinkers 
to recognize the "historicalness" of nature(DSB). The 
Handbuch der Naturgeschichte was first published in 1799. 
It went through numerous editions and was translated into 
many languages. The three parts of the work, zoology, 
botany and mineralogy, are each accompanied by a folding 
engraved plate.

variability of nature, a concept that was not understood 
very well. It also showed that the earth, with all its

was one of the earliest thinkers to recognise the 
historicalness of nature, and therefore occupies an 
important place in the history of evolution theory.

up from old sheets. Hefts with later issue years are known 
to exist, indicating that distinctive editions of this work 
were also published in 1827 and 1830 and perhaps other 
years.

BOCCONE 



BOCCONE 

BOCCONE, Paolo Sylvius. (Born: Palermo, Italy, 24 
April 1633; DIED: Palermo, Italy, 22 December 1704) 
Italian botanist. 

Boccone was a longtime professor of botany at the 
University of Padua. He traveled widely throughout 
Europe collecting various natural species and attending 
scientific meetings. He is best remembered for an 

important flora of Sicily, Icones & Descriptiones Rariorum 
Plantarum Sicilies (Oxonii, 1674). Boccone was a pioneer in 
the description of the natural history of the Island of Sicily 
(particularly plants) and his works show the typical 17th 
century penchant for curiosities, destined for an imaginary 
or real Museum. He was a member of the Leopoldina 
Academy. When he became a Monk he adopted the name 
Silvius.

VERY RARE. Printed by Domenico Antonio 
Ferro, this monograph describes the minerals found 
in the author's native Sicily, with special attention 
to their supposed medical applications. In particular, 
Boccone describes the virtues of the bezoar stone, a 
petrified secretion of an animal intestine. Boccone 
gives unusually careful descriptions of the sites where 
specimens are found, describes their structure and 
expounds on some medical applications for which he 
has received endoresements from Sicilian physicians. 
This work is also an example of a rare Monteleone (di 
Calabria) imprint (Printing came to Monteleone only in 
1635!).

MvsjEVM Brackenhofferianum, 1677 

Every object found a place under one of these heads, 
and the text reveals most of his natural history 
specimens were rnineralogical, which were consequently 
listed under Fossil. The divisions of this class included 
metals, stones, and mineralia media. The metals 
were divided between natural and artificial, while 
the subdivisions of the stones show the uncritical 
character of the mineralogy of the time. These were 
classified into: Lapides majores molles, stones taken 
from animals, meteoric stones, Lapides fossiles minores, 
Silices minores, petrifications including petrified wood, 
the petrified molar of an elephant, gems and precious 
stones, and corals. The mineralia media included the 
earths and sulphur. Among the animals a crocodile can 
be found. The vegetables stood by themselves. The 
primary division of Artificial items was into objects 
made of wood, glass or ivory, while other groupings 
included pictures, gold and silver work, works of art in 
marble, wax and other materials, antiquities and coins. 

This is a luxuriant volume printed on fine paper 
stock in red and black throughout with marvelous 
typography. Although very rare, it attracted enough 
notice to have an abstract reprinted in MICHAEL 
BERNHARD VALENTINAS Museum Museorum, Frankfurt 
am Mainz, 1714, vol. II, appendix XX, pp. 69—81. In 
addition, several letters in FRANZ ERNST BrÜCKMANN's 
Epistolas Itinerarias reference Brackenhoffer's collection 
(See: 1, Epistola 39-47, 57-60, 64-65, & 81-84).

bibliophile and noted humanist, Brackenhoffer undertook 
several journeys throughout France, Germany and Italy. 
He developed a taste for collecting objects of all types, 
and built a large cabinet containing ancient coins, books, 
sculpture and art, and natural history. His coin collection 
was cataloged in 1665.

German for the five parts.; 432-666, Name index to all

the bibliography. 

Rare. Listing c65,000 books and articles, this 
massive compilation is a classified bibliographical guide 
to works on natural history published from the fifteenth 
through the eighteenth centuries. Entries often include 
references to reviews or other commentary. The 
complete five parts are arranged in nine volumes: Pars 
I, Scriptores generales (general works, 2 vols.), Pars II, 
Zoologi (zoology, 2 vols.), Pars III, Phytologi (phytology 
or plants, 2 vols.), Pars IV, Mineralogi (mineralogy, 
2 vols.), and Pars V, Hydrologi (hydrology, one vol.). 
A lengthy name index (including a separate one for 
anonymous works) is included at the end of the last 
volume (pp. 432-740). 

The fourth section, published in two volumes 
concerns mineralogy and the earth sciences. This 
bibliography was compiled with much perseverance 
on the part of Boehmer, with the list, which is less 
complete with regard to non-Germans, extending to 
the year 1784. However, the compiler did not know 
mineralogy as a science. Consequently, the classification 



of the entries is somewhat jumbled. For example, 
writings on mining, mine engineering, mining law, 
instruction on goldsmithing, glaringly occur with other 
titles about mineralogical systems. Additionally, many 
mineralogical works are listed in volume one devoted 
to general writings that includes a lengthy section 
concerning natural history collections and museums (1, 
pp. 369-411). None the less, Boehmer's bibliography 
of mineralogy ranks with Gatterer's Allgemeines 
Repertoriurn der mineralogischen, bergwerks= und 
salzwerkwissenschaftenlichen Literatur (Giessen, 1798- 
9) as one of the best compilations of the 18th century, 
and although not stated, Gatterer clearly relied upon 
Boehmer's prior work in his compilation.

SCARCE. This work introduces and describes 
the use of stereographic projections in crystallography. 
This technique, still used today, plots the angles of a 
crystal form onto a special graph. This work includes 
discussions of angle measurement, polar coordinates, 
Wulff nets and their construction and how it is applied 
to the seven crystallographic systems. Examples of the 
stereographic projections are found in a back pocket.

VERY SCARCE. The "classic" mineralogy of 
Greenland, written at the beginning of the century, 
and considered valuable enough to have a revised 
English version prepared five decades later [see below]. 
The minerals found in Greenland are described in 
great detail, with exact information on localities and 
discoverers with complete references. The largest 
part of the work is a descriptive mineralogy of 
the 162 mineral species arranged according to PAUL 
GROTH's, Tabellarische Uebersicht der Mineralien 
(Munich, 1898). Under each are listed the localities and 
the person to first discover the mineral at that locality, 
literature, description of occurrence, crystal form, and 
other properties. Following the descriptive portion is 
a geographical listing of minerals in Greenland. The 
remoteness of the region and its unique mineralization 
make this an interesting and important topographical 
work. 

It was the first attempt at describing the 
mineralogy of the region and as such it is the basis 
of all subsequent literature on the subject. Also 
importantly B0ggild thoroughly studied Greenland 
minerals in the collections in the Mineralogical Museum 



of Copenhagen, which had systematically been collected 
but never before scientifically examined.

BOLTON, Henry Carrington. (Born: New York 
City, New York, U.S.A., 28 January 1843; DIED: 1903) 
American chemist & mineral collector. 

Bolton graduated from Columbia in 1862, and then 
studied chemistry in Paris, Heidelberg, Göttingen, and 
Berlin. In 1866 he received the degree of PhD from the 
University of Göttingen, his dissertation describing the 
fluorine compounds of uranium. He continued to travel 
before becoming in 1872 assistant in quantitative analysis 
in the Columbia School of Mines. In 1874 he became 
chemistry professor at the Woman's Medical College of the 
New York Infirmary, which he resigned in 1877. He was 
then appointed professor of chemistry and natural science 
in Trinity College, where he taught for the next decade. 
There he opened its new chemical laboratory, built an 
outstanding 3,000-piece mineral collection, and published a 
student guide to quantitativ.' analysis, as well as a. massive 
bibliography of the science.

VERY SCARCE. A thorough treatment of mineralogy. 
In the preface, Bombicci writes that advances in mineralogy 
have made this new edition a necessity. Volume one covers 
all facets of mineralogical science, including chemistry, 
physical properities, and crystallography. A large section 
is devoted to twisting and curving crystals and theoretical 
reasons why they occur. The author was an expert in this 
area and the chapters devoted to the subject are the best 
treatment to the time. In this period before the invention 
of x— ray analysis, the long discussion about the molecular 
structure within crystals and how atoms come together 
to create crystalline substances is especially interesting. 
The artificial production of crystallized minerals is also 
considered. At the end of the volume, Bombicci describes 
reasons for placing minerals species into a systematic order 
as well as the nomenclature applied to mineralogy. Volume 

2 is mostly occupied by a descriptive mineralogy. Species 
are characterized by name, synonyms, chemical formula, 
localities. Many are also illustrated by crystal drawings 
showing their idealized forms. Volume 2 concludes with a 
list of authors mentioned in the text and a general index 
to the mineral species described.

VERY RARE. Bondardo's Riches of the Worid 
is an interesting mineralogy that deals not only with 
minerals, metallurgy and related subjects, but with all 
the natural resources of the earth including plants and 
animals. It is divided into four books of which the 
first treats the earth, including the mountains, different 
kinds of water like rivers and oceans, air and lightning. 
Book two deals with metals, minerals, mines, etc.; the 
third book is concerned strictly with botanical issues; 
and the fourth deals with animals, including snakes, 
fishes and birds. There is a long passage in the third 
book on tobacco ("Negotiana") smoked by American 
Indians with a pipe made from stone. In addition 
several other references to America are made, but the 
title is not noticed by Sabin. The work is dedicated 
to Luigi Groto [1541-1585], who also edited the book. 
Two woodcut portraits are included, one of the author, 
the other of the editor. The basic text, apparently with 
little or no revision, was reissued at least five times until 
1669. All editions of this work are rare.

BOODT, Anselmus Boëtius de. (Born: Bruges, 
Belgium, cl550; DIED: Bruges, Belgium, 21 June 1632) 
Belgian physician & mineralogist. 

Boodt was a member of a noble Roman Catholic 
family, and Anselmus seemed destined for a career in the 
administration of his native town. However, he elected to 
persue a medical career and subsequently studied under 
Thomas Erastus [1523-1583] at Heidelberg and obtained 
his M.D. in Padua, Italy. He moved to Prague in 1583, 




Boodt 

where he was physician to the burgrave. While living 
there, he became acquainted with the Bohemian naturalist 
Thadeus Hayek. Through this relationship, Boodt became 
intensly interested in nature, and he began to draw and 
paint flowers, animals and minerals. He also made many 
mineralogical trips in Bohemia, Silesia and Germany. From 
1584 until 1595, Boodt held the post of canon of St. Donat's 
Church in his home town, even though he continued to live 
in Prague. In 1604, Rudolf II took him on as his personal 
physician. Boodt continued in this position until the 
emperor's death in 1612. Boodt then returned to Bruges, 
spending the remainder of his life as a town councillor. He 
never married and his relatives received all the physical 
property, including a collection of minerals.

De Boodt is printed on the verso of the title page leave. The 
picture consists of an elaborate border with shields bearing 
family crests with the names printed above. This surrounds 
an oval frame that encloses a portrait of De Boodt's head, 
shoulders and chest. The wording on the frame is "Rvdolphi 
II. Roma. Imperatoris Medicvs Cvbicvlarivs. Anselmvs 
Boetivs De Boodt Brvgensis Belga I. V.L." The "n" in 
"Anselmvs" has been reversed. Underneath the frame is the 
wording, "Anagramma. Obstando sorties casvs Delemvs

VERY SCARCE. Gemmarvm et Lapidvm Historia. 
is one of the most important mineralogical works of 
the seventeenth century, marking a transition over 
previous lapidaries. It is of particular interest as a 
manual describing minerals that is more detailed, more 
extensive, more critical and more systematic than many 
earlier works. It was a well known and influential 
book, going through several editions and frequently 
being cited by other authors. A new era was marked 
with its publication. One in which the believes of the 



past began to be challenged, and the researchers began 
to use hypothesis and experimentation to present new 
ideas. Above all, Boodt's work is an early example 
of a treatise on mineral substances that departs from 
a simple alphabetical arrangement in persenting its 
description of stones. 

The work is divided into two books. Book 
one presents several general considerations relating 
to the properties of minerals. In book two, the 
major portion, are discussed over one hundred different 
mineral substances. For each kind, Boodt records the 
various names by which it is known, physical properties, 
occurances, imitations, and the means of detecting 
imatations, uses emphasising medical prescriptions, and 
approximate cost. Contained within is an early attempt 
at the systematic description of minerals, with divisions 
of large and small, common and rare, soft and hard, 
flammable and nonflammable, transparent and opaque. 
Boodt notes the crystalline forms of some minerals as 
triangular, quadratic and heangular, and he provides 
critical references to earlier authors like Aristotle, Pliny 
and Parcaleus. Boodt was skeptical of the curative 
virtues of various gems. He suspected that it was 
coincindental that a specific type of gemstone was 
associated with a sick person who became well. Instead, 
he believed if stones had curative powers it was because 
they worked in concert with the body to affect a cure, 
not any supernatural property. 

Discussing the properties of stones, Boodt gives a 
long discussion of hardness. He provides the earliest 
system of hardness grading for the various stones, 
which acted as a crude index to distinguish imatation 
gems from genuine. He distinguished three degrees of 
hardness and also included softness as a related but 
different property. Soft stones are considered such if 
fingers alone are sufficient to rub away the surface. 
Hard stones are called hard when they can neither be 
rubbed away with fingers nor cut by iron. Hard stones 
are classified under three categories: (1) a steel file can 
scratch the stone, (2) only the use of the Smyrna stone 
[emerald??] can cut the surface, and (3) those that can 
only be rubbed away with a diamond point. 

Several states of the book appear to exist. In 
a descriptive bibliography, it is the writer's goal to 
provide details on the "ideal copy." That is the most 
complete copy that can be located. In this instance 
the volume described contains both the portrait and 
the two folding tables. This is indeed a rarity, and 
no single volume containing both has been found to 
examine. The description is a composite of two different 
books — one with a portrait, the other with tables. One 
could think that perhaps a volume with both the portait 
and tables does not exist; however, the German auction 
house of F. Zisska &¿ R. Kistner in catalog 12/1 for an 
auction held in October 1988 lists a De Boodt with both 
portrait and tables. This is undoubtedly a rare state. 
The more common state is where both the portrait 
and the tables are missing. Somewhere in between are 
copies with either the tables or the portrait, but not 
both. In addition, the publisher was apparently finding

and correcting errors in the text as the volume was 
produced. One copy found by Herbert Obodda, has 
the dedication signed "Anselmvs Boetivs | de Bootd," 
with the "t" and "d" swapped. Perhaps other states 
exist.

VERY SCARCE. A catalog of the collection of 
Sicilian stones and minerals Borch had accumulated, 
and which he has arranged into four classes: hard 
stones, semi-hard stones, soft stones, and miscellaneous. 
Under these headings, he describes various jaspers, 
agates, concretions, marbles, alabasters, dendrites, cave 
minerals, basalts, granites, serpentines, fossils, and 
quartz crystals. In his introduction Borch describes 
the mineral richness of the island of Sicily, and gives 
incidental information on other local topics such as the 
currency, local language, methods of measurement, etc. 

Italian edition, 1777: An Italian edition is listed in 
a few early bibliographies as Conte di Borch Litografía di 
Sicilia. Napoli, 1777. However, no modern trace of this 
title as been found in any of the great libraries of Kurope 
or America.

BOREL, Pierre. (BORN: Castres, Languedoc, France, 
1620; DIED: Paris, France, 1689) French physician, 
chemist & mineralogist. 

Borel studied medicine at Montpellier and opened a 
practice at Castres in 1641. In 1653 he went to Paris, 
where a year later he was appointed physician to the 
King. He actively studied throughout his life the fields of 
chemistry, optics, astronomy, philology and bibliography, 
and is known today for his writings on these subjects. 
Furthermore, he was an avid collector of all types of objects 
both natural and artificial, which during his lifetime he 
assembled into a large and varied cabinet. Borel was the 
first author to write a bibliography of chemistry Bibliotheca 
Chimica (Paris, 1653) and an early history of the telescope 
De Vero Telescopii Inventore (The Hague, 1656).

BORLASE, William. (BORN: Pendeen, Cornwall, 
England, 2 February 1695; DIED: Ludgvan, Cornwall, 
31 August 1772) English naturalist & antiquarian. 

Borlase was born to an ancient family which could 
trace its roots back to the early Normans. His ancestors 
had settled in the parish of St. Wenn, Cornwall, where they 
adopted the Cornish name of their place of residence. He 
was first educated at a school in Penzance, but was moved 
to Plymouth. In 1712, Borlase entered Exeter College, 
Oxford, from which in due course, he earned the degrees 
of B.A. and M.A. In 1719 he was ordained a deacon of the 
church and in 1720 a priest. He was given responisbility 
of the parish of Ludgvan, near Penzance, where he seems 
to have first paided attention to the natural history and 
prehistory antiquities of the area. For his papers on the 
subject, he was elected to the Royal Society in 1750. 
Borlase published Antiquities of Cornwall (1st ed., Oxford, 
1754) that contained many pertient observations of district 
with respect to early human habitation. As his next book, 
he published a much enlarged version of an earlier paper 
Observations on the Ancient and Present State of the Islands 
of Scilly, and their Importance to the Trade of Great Britain 
(Oxford, 1756). This was followed by the Natural History 
of Cornwall (Oxford, 1758), which is described below.

Eventually, Borlase presented to the Ashmolean Museum 
of Oxford the whole of his collections of antiquities, fossils 
and minerals, which had been described in these works. 
In recognition of this generosity, the university bestowed a 
doctor of laws degree on Borlase, on March 23, 1766. Seven 
years later, he died, in the fifty— second year as rector of his 
parish.

VERY SCARCE. In this work, Borlase takes 
a generally conventional view of the Creation and 
Deluge in his descriptions of the natural wonders of 
Cornwall. Within the description are included many 
references to the diverse mineralogy of the region. He 
describes the lay of the land, air, weather, ground 
waters, rivers and estuaries, lakes and the surrounding 
sea, the earths, including soils, clays, steatites, etc., 
sands, husbandry, stones, including quartz, agates, 
jaspers, ornamental, spars, rock crystal, etc., semi- 
metals, bismuth, petroleum, antimony, manganese, 
loadstone, cobalt, mineral deposits and veins, metals, 
particularly tin and copper, birds, insects, fish, reptiles, 
quadrupeds and inhabitants. The map shows the region 
of Cornwall, and the other 28 plates picture various 
scenic vistas, crystals, figured stones, mines, apparatus, 
corals, insects, fish, shells, reptiles, and ancient coins.

BORN, Iganz Edler von. (Born: Karlsburg, 

Transylvania [now Alba Iulia, Rumania], 1742; DIED: 
Vienna, Austria, 24 July 1791) Austrian mineralogist 
& metallurgist. 

Von Born was born to a German noble family. He 
was sent to Vienna at the age of thirteen to study with 
the Jesuits; however, he quickly decided that the monastic 
life was not in his future. Instead he went to Prague to 
study law. After graduation, Von Born made an extensive 
tour throughout Germany, Holland and France. During 
this period, he was exposed to natural history, including 
mineralogy and mining. In 1770, he joined the department 
of mines and the mint. Among his first official duties was 
a tour of the mines of Hungary and Transylvania. At 
one location, he decended into a shaft to soon after the 
fires to detach the ore had been extinguished, and was 
exposed to a near fatal dose of arsenic rich vapors. This 
experience caused Von Born sickly health for the rest of 
his life, and forced him to persue passive activities such as

his mineral collection. He was a dedicated Freemason and 
ardent anti-Jesuit. His work, Specimen Alonachologias (1st 
ed., Vienna, 1783) is a vicious attack against the Jesuit 
monks in which the various orders are classified according 
to a system modeled after Linneaus'. Perhaps this was 
revenge against his Jesuit experiences in Vienna when he 
was a youth.

Rare. This is a comprehensive catalog of Von 
Born's own large mineral and fossil collection. It 
is sometimes called by its half title, Lithophylacium 
Bornianum, and is based on Cronstedt's system. The 
publication of the first volume, which contains many 
new mineral descriptions, brought Von Born much 
critical acclaim from European mineralogists, as well 
as recognition from the Royal Court of Austria. On 
the strength of this reception, the author continued in 
1775 the catalog's publication with the issue of a second 
volume, describing other minerals and petrifications in 
his possession. 

The plates of volume one numbered I-III show

SCARCE. In 1770, in his capacity as an official of 
the department of mines and the mint, Von Born made a 
lengthy tour through the southern realms of the Austrian 
Empire. At that time, this encompassed the mineral rich 
lands of Hungary and Transylvania. His keen observations 
of the regions he travelled through were recorded in a series 
of letters Von Born sent to the Swedish mineralogist JOHANN 
Jacob FERBER. These letters contain a vibirant, warm

SCARCE. Translation by Rudolf Erich Raspe of Briefe 
über Mineraloff scher Gegenstände (Frankfurt Sc Leipzig, 
1774). This edition also contains a translation of Johann 
Jacob Ferber's Beitrage zu der Mineral— Geschichte von 
Boehmen (Berlin, 1774). The work by Von Born consists 
of a series of 23 letters addressed to Ferber describing the 
mining, geology and mineralogy he encountered on a trip 
through Hungary. Much of the text contain interesting 
observations on the production of copper, silver and gold. 
A map at page 84 shows Von Bom's route through the 
territory. The last letter contains a valuable and interesting 
account of the various mineral collections visited during the 
trip. Ferber's text provides a mineralogical account of the 
region of Bohemia. Bound in at page 320 is a large folding 
map of the area with an indication of the various mining 
centers and geological features mentioned in the text. 

Rudolph Erich Raspe. (BORN: Hannover, Germany, 

1737; DIED: Muckross, County Kerry, Ireland, 1794) 
German geologist. Raspe studied science and philology and 
worked as a librarian for several universities before fleeing 
to England in 1775 after pilfering some gems that were 
supposedly in his care. He worked at the Dolcoath Mine, 
Camborne, where he wrote his famous tale The Surprising 
Adventures Of Baron Munchhausen as well as discovering in 
St. Agnes a new tin-bearing sulphide, stannite. In 1791 he 
had to move again (to Ireland) after his involvement in a 
mining swindle in Scotland.

VERY SCARCE. Von Born invented an amalgamation 
process for extracting gold and silver from various ores. 
Since the process did not require the usual melting of the 
ore, it had considerable economic effect by not requiring 
any fuel. For his discovery, Von Born was given as a 
royalty a small percentage of the money saved where ever 
his process was used. 

There is considerable information regarding the 
mining techniques used in Spanish America of the 16th 
century. Included are excerpts from the writings of Albaro 
Alonso Barba [q. v.], José Acosta [??—??], among others.

Rare. Edited by J.V. Degen [see note below]. 
From the editor's notes, it is learned that this book was 
privately printed for the friends and correspondents of 
Von Born, and limited to a total printing of 70 copies. 
Von Born was commissioned to prepare a catalog of the 
very fine mineral collection formed by Eleonore de Raab 
[see note below]. In the preface to the first volume, 
Von Born notes that this collection is one of the most 
complete of its kind. The specimens are described both 
by their exterior characteristics following Werner and 
by their chemical compositions in accordance with the 
theories of Lavoisier, Morveau, Fourcroy and Berthollet. 
Besides the typical information for each speciment 
described, the author includes many notes, comments, 
and references, showing that he was one of the ablest 
mineralogists of his day.

1756; DIED: Vienna, Austria, 28 August 1848) Austrian

Biography Needed 
[ ] 

Elénore De Raab. Austrian mineral collector. 

(fl. 1790 's) De Raab was the daughter of Franz Anton 
Ritter von Raab. She married the Spanish Ambassador 
della Huerta, and is sometimes referred to by early author's 
as "Frau von Uberta." De Raab owned a collection 
of about 2,500 small choice mineral specimens many of 
which had been given her by Von Born. In 1791 and 
1792, De Raab purchased a suite of 41 mostly Cornish 
specimens from the English collector PHILIP RaSHLEIGH. 
Eventually, De Raab's collection was acquired by the 
banker and art collector Count Moritz Christian Friess 
[1777-1826] of Vienna. In 1824, the Fries mineral collection 
was auctioned with the prominent buyer being Ferdinand 
Zimmerman, a professor at the Medicinisch-Chirurgische 
Josephs- Akademie.

Museum of Natural History at Torino, Italy [see note 
below] . Borson writes in the historical introduction that 



he originally planned the classification of the minerals 
along the principles of Werner, but due to the progress 
of the science, he rearranged the collection according to 
the classification system of Bronginart. Other volumes 
were planned but none were published. The catalog was 
revised and completed in 1830, however [see next entry]. 

Turin (Torino), Italy. Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali. 
Italian museum. Founded 17S0. The holdings of the mineral 
collection in Turin are the combination in 1800 of two 
earlier collections: (1) the University Natural History 
Museum (founded 1730) by Carlo Emmanuele III, Duke 
of Savoy and King of Sardina and (2) the Science Academy 
Museum (founded 1759). From 1805 until 1980 the 
mineralogical museum has been an autonomous institution 
operated by the University. In 1980, the collections have 
been the charge of the Piedmont Regional Council.

VERY SCARCE. Lettres Philosophiques is 

an important publication that contributed several 
noteworthy observations to the sciences of biology 
and geology. Written as a series of four letters 
addressed to Johann Jacob Scheuchzer [q.v.], this 
volume touches upon many subjects of natural history. 
Included are theories on the formation of stalactites, 
the chronology of the earth, the generation of minerals 
and rocks, and the question of reproduction and 
development in living organisms. An additional tract 
titled "Memoire sur la théorie de la terre" considers 
numerous aspects of geological phenomena including 
the earth's destruction, which incorporates discussions 
of mechanical weathering, volcanism and earthquakes.

BOURNON, Jacques-Louis, Comte de. (Born: Metz, 
France, 21 January 1751; DIED: Versailles, France, 24 
August 1825) French crystallographer & mineralogist. 

Bournon was born into a noble family. He turned 
his attention to the natural history studies particularly 
mineralogy. However, he lost his first mineral collection 
when he fled to England during the French Revolution, 
but he built a second collection there, which was later sold 
to the French King Louis XVIII with Bournon becoming 
the Director. This second collection consisted of 22,881 
specimens, nearly half were single crystals. In 1825, the 
collection was divided between the College de France and 
the Jardine des Plantes (National Museum of Natural 
History).

BOURNON 



position de Bournon's work holds in the history of 
mineralogy, attention must first be focused on the 
last quarter of the eighteenth century. During this 
time, a controversy began concerning the relationship 
between the minerals calcite and aragonite. Although 
quanatative analysis proved them to be chemically 
identical, examination of their physical properties 
showed aragonite to be harder, heavier and to possess a 
different crystal form. Using these criteria Abraham 
Gottlob Werner named and classified aragonite as a 
separate entity from calcite. In 1801, the Traite de 
Mineralogie by Rene Just Haüy also listed aragonite 
as a separate species, although the French mineralogist 
admitted more research was needed. This statement 
produced a flurry of investigations and theories to 
resolve the aragonite— calcite dilemma. 

The present work, de Bournon's most important 
mineralogical contribution, was written to support 
Haüy 's position that calcite and aragonite were separate 
mineral species, and that the final determination of 
whether a mineral is a distinct species relies on physical 
characteristics, not chemical properties. The seventy- 
two plates show various crystals of calcite and aragonite. 
Based on a copy of this work that had loosely laid 
in the two leaves of the Traité Complet de la Chaux 
Carbonatée et de Г Arragonite the Traité de Minéralogie 
is the first issue.

mineral collection created by Bournon. The "Discours 
Préliminaire" provides a history of the collection's 
formation and observations about the science of 
mineralogy. There is also an extensive commentary on 
Bournon's relationship with the British Museum and 
its trustees. The text contains a detailed description 
of the collection's specimens, with information on the 
minerals chemical and physical properties. Throughout 
Bournon references Haüy and other mineralogists. A 
separate section deals with Haüy's theories on crystal 
structure.

Abraham Hume. (BORN: 1749; DIED: 1838) English 
gentleman. Second and last baronet. Hume was elected a 
member of Parliment from Petersfield, 1774 to 1780. He 
was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1775, and he 
was vice-president of the geological society from 1809 to 
1813. He was a collector of minerals, precious stones and 
old masters. Bournon cataloged his minerals, which were 
acquired by the Sedgewick Museum in Cambridge in 1841.

Sinkankas (1994) #830 was to the compiler's 
research, the first bibliography that has called attention to 
this new edition. The number of specimens now described 
is 128 from 107, with the added plate showing various 
examples between numbers 108 to 128. Eventhough, no 
indication on the title page, this work should clearly be 
considered a second edition.

recommendation of Don Antonio de Ulloa, superintendent 
of the Spanish state mines and was also given the task to 
form a collection of natural history specimens and to fit up 
a chemical laboratory. To complete these tasks, Bowles 
travelled extensively throughout Spain, investigating its 
mines and natural history.

Born the son of Richard Boyle, first earl of 
Cork, Robert entered into a comfortable life with many 
advantages and much affluence. He was educated by 
private tutors before entereing Eaton at the age of eight. 
In 1639, he was sent with his next oldest brother to 
the Continent where ho continued his education in the 
polite arts, language, mathematics and science. The 
outbreak of the English civil war caused his return to 
England. His support of the Parlimentarians brought hirn 




Boyle 



into contact with many of the leading English scientists, 
and through thern Boyle developed an interest in chemistry. 
He entered Oxford in 1656 to advance his studies. After 
the Restoration, Boyle frequently visited London, finally 
moving there in 1668. He was one of the founders of the 
Royal Society of London, and throughout the rest of his 
life he was one of its most influenciai and notable Fellows. 
His home was open to all those interested in science, and 
in a laboratory he had built onto the house, he performed 
all his experiments.

Very scarce. REWORK THIS ENTRY. Very 
SCARCE. A monumental work that can be considered as 
the first scientific treatise in English on crystallography. 
Among the many revolutionary insights and theories 
set forth within this volume are Boyle's belief in the 



hydrothermal origin of crystals and crystal growth by 
accretion of particles around a seed nucleus. Boyle also 
suspected that the nucleus around which the crystal 
grows has the same geometry as the final product. 
Further observations include that the finest crystals 
grow in open spaces, whereas distorted crystals are 
only "molds" of the space in which they formed, and 
that because of a vastly higher specific gravity, rock 
crystal was not any type of ice. This work also contains 
observations on the medical virtues of gems. 

This celebrated treatise, justly called by Fulton 
"the beginning of the modern development in 
knowledge of crystal structure'" (Sinkankas). 'The 
literature [on gems] increased at an astonishing rate 
during the first two centuries after printing; but except 
for technical works on stonecutting and the setting of 
precious stones, the subject continued to be largely 
a mixture of myth and credulity until the advent of 
Boyle's Essay ... of Gems' (Fulton, p. 67). 

The work 'really has very little to do with 
gemstones except as they happened conveniently to 
provide crystals for Boyle's inquiries in to the solid 
state of matter. There are two fundamental hypotheses 
posed in this essay, the first being "that many of 
these Gems and Medical Stones, either fluid bodies, 
as the Transparent ones; or in part made up of such 
substances as were once fluid," and second "that many 
of the real Virtues of such stones may be probably 
derived from the mixture of Metalline and other Mineral 
substances, which, (though unsuspectedly,) are usually 
incorporated with them." However, an even more 
fundamental concept underlies both hypotheses which 
Boyle clearly demonstrates that he was aware of even 
though he does not say so explicitly, that is, that 
crystals grow from solution from very minute particles 
which attach themselves to the growing crystal in such 
a manner that they add bulk and create characteristic 
external planes ...' (Sinkankas).

Henry Oldenburg. (BORN: Bremen, Germay, cl618; 
DIED: Charlton, near Greenwich, England, 5 September 
1677) English scientist. Oldenburg graduated from the 
University of Utrecht in 1641, and he matriculated at 
Oxford from 1657 to 1658. He taught in the Paedogogium 
of Bremen. Later he became a professor in the newly 
established University of Dorpat, in what is now Estonia. 
Although it is known that Oldenburg matriculated in the 
University of Utrecht in 1641, nothing is known with 
assurance about what he did during the following twelve 
years, but there is presumptive evidence that he was a 
tutor during these years. In 1656 he became tutor to 
Boyle's nephew, Richard Jones, later the third Viscount 
Ranelagh and first Earl of Ranelagh. Oldenburg made a 
profession of scientific administration. He founded a system 
of records in the Royal Society that is still followed, created 
an international correspondence of scientists, and founded 
the first scientific journal, The Philosophical Transactions of 
the Royal Society of London. Oldenburg began publishing in 
1665 the Philosophical Transactions, which were his personal 
enterprise, to make money, although he never made as 
much as he hoped. He also translated papers for the 
London Gazette. He also translated and published works 
from abroad. He translated at least two of Boyle's works 
into Latin, and he appears to have functioned effectively as 
the publisher for a number of Boyle's works.

Bragg was professor of physics successively at the 
University of Adelaide, South Australia (1886-1908), 
University of Leeds (1909-1915) and the University College 
of London (1915-1920). In 1923, he became director of 
the Royal Institution. In association with his son, William 
Lawrence, he developed an ionization spectrometer, which 




W.H. Bragg 



he successfully applied to the X-ray study of crystals, and 
is today known as an important pioneer in the field.

VERY SCARCE. Bragg began his studies on crystal 
structure in 1912 and developed new methods for 
measuring the wavelengths of X-rays. The 'Bragg 
relation' opened up the use of X-rays in the study of 
solid bodies, particularly crystals. Through the use 
of the spectrometer which was built to measure the 
wavelengths, distances between atoms within a crystal 
lattice could be calculated by determining the refraction 
of a known wavelength of X-ray on to film surrounding 
target. This was a pivotal milestone in crystallographic 
determination. Before 1913, only general symmetry 
relationships could be pronounced about crystals, but 
by the end of 1913, the Braggs had reduced crystal 
structure analysis to a technical procedure. For these 
researches the father and son team received the Nobel 
Prize for physics in 1915. Their X-rays and Crystal 
Structure is the first separate publication collecting 
together material surrounding this remarkable research.

VERY SCARCE. Professor Bragg's Christmas 

Lectures for children given at the Royal Institution were 
famous. One series was issued in book form under 
the title, Concerning the Nature of Things (London, 
1925). Here, Bragg shows his genius in explaining 
in simple terms the complex nature of solids, liquids 
and gases that envelop us. Using layman language, 
he describes and defines atoms, gases, liquids, crystals, 
ice and snow crystals and metal crystals, all in a very 
readable volume. As an accurate introductory text it 
was at its publication a great source for readers wanting 
to know the internal structure of everything, and today 
it can still be examined to gain valuable insights into 
the nature of matter. 

Reprinted: The book was reprinted in 1927, 1931, and 
1933 with apparently little change to the text.

BRANDT, Georg. (BORN: Riddarhytta, Westman- 
land, Sweden, 26 June 1694; DIED: Stockholm, Sweden, 
29 April 1768) Swedish chemist. 

Brandt was educated under Boerhaave in Leiden, 
The Netherlands, receiving his M.D. in 1726. In 1727, he 
became director of the chemistry laboratory of the Swedish 
Bureau of Mines. Appointed the warden of the Stockholm 
mint in 1730, Brandt was later appointed professor of 
chemistry at the University of Uppsala. He was the first to 
produce accurate researches on arsenic and to discover zinc 
in calamine (now smithsonite). He distinguished between 
potash and soda in 1746.

Rare. By roasting what at the time was called 
Swedish pyrite (mineral: linnaeite), Brandt obtained a 
black powder, which he further reduced with charcoal 
powder and fluxes in the intense heat of a forge with 
bellows. The result was a compact mass with a reddish 
tint that was magnetic, malleable and of high melting 
point. This is the first separate publication announcing 
Brandt's discovery of the element cobalt, describing the 
process of reducing the metal.

BRANT, Sebastian. (BORN: Strassburg, Germany, 
1458; DIED: Strassburg, Germany, 10 May 1521) 
German humanist & satirist. 

Brant studied at Basel and took the degree of 
doctor of laws in 1489. He was a longtime professor of 
jurisprudence there. He retired to Strassburg, where he 
was made syndic of the town. Today, he is remembered for 
his famous satire, Das Narrenschriff [English: Ship of Fools] 
(1494), which describes a ship laden with fools and steered 
by fools to the fools' paradise of Narragenia.

Folio broadside. At the head is a woodcut showing 
the impact of the meteorite. 

Editio PRINCEPS. Very rare. Provides an account 
of the meteorite ("thunder-stone") which fell near 
Ensisheirn, Upper Alsace, France, on November 16, 
1492 at 11:30 p.m. It is the earliest meteorite the fall 
of which was seen and recorded, and the substance 
of which was preserved. The Emperor Maximilian, 
arriving at Ensisheim shortly after the fall, presented a 
fragment to the Archduke Sigismund, retained another 
for himself, and deposited the remainder in the parish 
church. This 260 pound fragment remained in the choir 
of the parish church for centuries until during the French 
Revolution the stone was taken and placed in the public 
library of Colmar. Subsequently, fragments were broken 
off and presented to various persons and institutions. 
Fourcroy obtained a piece of 9.5 kilograms for the 
Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. The remainder 
weighing about 40 kilograms was afterwards returned 
to Ensisheim.

BRARD, Cyprien Prosper. (Born: L'Aigle, Dép. 
Orne, France, 21 November 1786; DIED: Lardin, France, 
28 November 1838) French mineralogist. 

Brard studied mineralogy under Bronignart, and 
while still a student published his Manuel du Minéralogiste et 
du Géologue Voyageur (Paris, 1805) for his friends. He made 
an extensive tour by foot of the Alpes in Switzerland and 
Central Europe, and in 1808 he became an aide to Faujas. 
Brard was appointed director of the copper mines of Servoz 
in 1813 where he was the first to use anthracite coal as a 
fuel. In 1816, he entered into a franchise that created a 
glassware factory in Lardin. The glass produced became 
well known as the Brardville pattern. In 1828, for some 
unknown reason, Brard abandoned this persuit. He retired 
to Lardin in 1832.

BRAUNS, Reinhard Anton. (Born: Eiterfeld near 
Kassel, Germany, 20 August 1861; DIED: Bonn, 
Germany, 28 January 1937) German mineralogist, 
petrologist & gemologist. 

Brauns attended the University of Marburg from 
1881 to 1885, receiving his Ph.D in 1884. From 1883 to 
1894 he was an assistant at the Mineralogical Institute 
in Marburg. In 1894, Brauns was appointed ordinary 
professor of mineralogy and geology at the technical high 
school in Karlsruhe, but in 1895 he took a similar post 
at the University of Giessen. In 1904 Brauns moved on 
to the University at Kiel, Germany, and in 1907 to the 
University of Bonn where he spent the remainder of his 
life. Brauns was a founding member of the Deutsche 
Mineralogische Gesellschaft, as well as an honorary member 
of many other societies. He was an editor of the Neues 
Jahrbuch für Mineralogie und Geologie and the Zeitblatt für 
Mineralogie. His major theoretical work centers upon the 
optical anomalies in crystals, chemical mineralogy and the 
production of synthetic gemstones.

mm. 

VERY SCARCE. A classic work in popular 

mineralogical literature. Braun's Das Mineralreich is a 
large format, ambitious book sought after today for its 
c900 color illustrations that show the most important 
minerals in their natural form, color, and size on 73 
chromolithographie and 14 black and white plates. But 
when Brauns wrote the book, he was at the pinnacle 
of his profession, and the text reflects his deep love 
and technical knowledge of minerals, which surprisingly 
can still be read with interest, especially for the details 
on old European localities. However, the text is now 
largely overlooked and thought to be obsolete due to 
the incorporation in the book of the chromolithographie 
plates. 

These plates were at their publication a sensation 
for their quality. It required much planning and great

technical and artistic ability to produce the illustrations 
that were modeled on actual specimens. So that no 
damage would occur from transport, minerals from 
various private and publish European collections were 
carefully packed and hand delivered to the Schreiber's 
studios in Stuttgart. Gustav Seligmann [1849-1920] 
whose collection was renowned for the aesthetic quality 
of its specimens was a strong supporter of the project 
with 132 of the depicted pieces being from his collection. 
Seligmann's collection was later incorporated into the 
Carl Bosch [1874-1940] collection, which was ultimately 
purchased in 1966 by the U.S. National Museum 
(Smithsonian Institution) in Washington. Today, the 
Seligmann specimens that are identifiable from the 
plates are especially noted within the collection. Good 
quality specimens were essential because the plates 
were intended to be easily recognizable to collectors. 
Medenbach notes that comparison between the actual 
specimens with the plates show that the manual work 
was implemented with much love and care, although 
some details were not included. Even without the 
lack of detail, the objective of depiction was met with 
species easily distinguished. Unfortunately, Braun's 
Mineralreich was among the last mineralogical works 
to be illustrated by the chromolithographie process. 
Technical advances in color photography and printing 
would soon supplant the labor intensive lithographic 
process. 

This first edition was originally issued in 30 parts 
or "Lieferungen," presumably to allow the publisher to 
begin recovering costs for a very expensive production, 
and allow the buyers to acquire an expensive volume 
through a subscription spread over months. At the 
conclusion of publication, the 30 parts could then be 
bound into a single volume. That it was a successful 
venture is displayed by the appearance of other German 
editions, and translations sponsored by the publisher 
utilizing the same plates into English, Italian, Czech 
and Russian.

steel staples to bind the sections. Over time, these sections

cheaper grade of paper seems Co have been used for printing 
the text.

BRAVAIS, Auguste. (BORN: Annonay, France, 23 
Augus 1811; DIED: Le Chesnay, France, 30 March 
1863) French crystallographer, botanist, astronomer & 
physicist. 

Bravais received a classical education at the Collège 
Stanislas in Paris, graduating in 1827. In 1829, he won 
first prize in mathematics in a general competition and 
was accepted to the Ecole Polytechnique. He was first 
in his class at the end of the first year which made 
him eligible to select any technical field except mining. 
Since his passion from youth was to explore the world, 
he chose to enter the French navy. In 1832, Bravais 
shipped out. He sailed the Mediterranean and in April 
ofthat year was assigned to map the coast of Algeria. The 
first of many expeditions he would accompany. Several 
important publications on plant organography won him 
membership in the Société Philomathique de Paris in 1835. 
On an extended assignment in Norwegian Lapland from 
1838 to 1839, Bravais made numerous observations in 
astronomy, meteorology and terrestrial magnetism. Several 
years later in 1845, he accepted an appointment as 
professor of physics at the Ecole Polytechnique. There, he 
became interested in symmetry and reticular groupings, 
sending several important papers to the Académie de 
Sciences. Among these were several important in the 
development of crystallography [which see below]. Bravais 
held membership in the Académie Royale des Sciences, Belles 
Lettres et Arts de Lyons and the Académie de Sciences.

several monographs that appeared decades before but 
that had a profound influence on crystallography in 
morphological and structural studies. At the conclusion 
of the volume are two papers by M. Cauchy [?????] 
describing the importance of the previous reprints in 
crystallography. 

"Beginning in 1848, Auguste Bravais wrote a 
series of papers in which he treated initially the types of 
geometric figures formed by points distributed regularly 
in space and then applied these considerations to 
crystals, with the points viewed as being the centers of 
gravity of the chemical molecules or as poles of forces. 
With this approach, Bravais was able to explain the 
cleavage and external symmetry of crystals as a function 
of the reticular density. Most important, Bravais 
demonstrated that there was a maximum of fourteen 
space lattices or groups of points differing by symmetry 
and geometry whose translational repetition in space 
maintained the symmetrical arrangements of the points 
of a unit cell. He perceived that these fourteen 
space lattices denoted seven different lattice symmetries 
which corresponded to the previously recognized seven 
crystal systems. Hence, the external symmetry became 
firmly grounded on the concept of the space lattice." 
(Burke).

volcanically active district of Solfatara near Naples, 
mining and extraction of alum had probably occurred 
since ancient times. However, it was under Breislak's 
direction as inspector of mines for the Kingdom 
of Naples that a vast works for the mining and 
refining of sulphur was established. Sulfphur being 
an important component of gun powder became an 
important economic factor in the Naples ecomony of the 
nineteenth century. In this Essai, Breislak describes the 
minerals of the area.

RARE. The fossiliferous zone of Pietraroia has in 
the past been the subject of important scientific studies 
executed by foreign as well as Italian experts. The 
first researcher to become interested in the zone was 
the geologist Scipion Breislak. In his work entitled 
Topografía física delia Campania, he cited for the first 
time the Pietraroia fish: "Above Cerretto rises the high 
mountain of Pietraroia, which is one of the peaks of 
Mátese, very interesting for the materials it yields. This 
mountain in some parts of is composed of calcareous 
scissile rock with fish imprints. The hardness of the 
shale, however, and the multiplicity of the crystalline 
veins intersecting in all directions, are such that only 
with difficulty it is possible to have beautiful specimens. 
They are never of that beauty and precision that one 
observes in the fish fossils of Bolea."

SCARCE. Translated by Baron de François René 
Jean Pommereul [which see note] of Topografía Física delia 
Campania (Firenze, 1798). This first edition if French 
acts like a second edition to the original work, having 
been enlarged and corrected by Breislak for the traslator. 
Beyond that, Pommereul has added useful and insightful 
notes to the original text, as well as several maps of the 
regii hi. 

The first great table is on strong paper and represents 
the region around to Naples; the others show the Vesúvio, 
the physical plant of the outskirtses of Rome, the extinct 
craters of the vesuviana zone, the design of a machine 
realized from the author in the crater of a Solfatara and 
the crystallization of blocks of branch caused from the 
action of washes during the eruption of 1794. " In the 
1794 Breislak witnessed the eruption of Vesuvius and made 
direct observations at the Fields Flegrei and Pozzuoli 
sulfur mines. Physical topography of the Campania, which 
discusses his studies on volcanoes, includes his opinion that 
the volcanic systems of Latium and Campania to were 
connected at the ancient volcano Roccamonfina, eruptive 
whose apparatus and washes he had discovered. Considered 
one of founders of vulcanology in Italy, Breislak was the 
first to determine that basaltic rocks to were of extrusive 
origin. He concluded that for to long Time Monte Sum, 
the second summit of Vesuvius, had been active until A.D. 
79; that it had been eroded; and that the cone of Vesuvius 
had been set upon it within historical Time " (DSB, II, p. 
439). " In 1801, Scipio Breislak published to descriptive 
and geological work on the Phlegraean fields, the extinct 
volcanoes near Rocca Monfino, on Mount Sum, Vesuvius, 
the Baiae, Procida and Ischia. This work comprises 
several maps, and is in many respects supplementary to 
Spallanzani' s Travels. Breislak also contributed the first 
researches on the geology and stratigraphy of Rome, and 
ofthat part of the Apennines which surrounds the volcanic 
area of the Italian mainland " (K.A. von Zittel, History 
of Geology and Palaeontology, London, 1901, pp. 78- 
79). With wide final index of the matters. The Breislak, 
been born to Rome from Swedish, chierico father regular, 
was premature much in the studies, becoming teaching 
already in young age. In 1781 it was called to the 
college of Urbino, therefore it passed after some years 
to Rome to the Nazareno college, where it organized an 
important mineralógico cabinet. From 1787 it taught to 
Nola before, then to Naples. In 1798 it made return 
Rome, where it had important part in the formation of 
the republican government, of which minister of finances 
was name. Fallen the Republic Roman, one joined to the 
directed French troops to Marseilles. To Paris it had way 
to know the greatest French scientists of the age, between 
which Chaptal, Fourcroy and Cuvier. In 1802 it re-entered 
in Italy. In the ' 05 member of the Italian Real Institute 
was name and was already member of the Real Societies of 
London, Kdinburgo, Berlin and Torino. In 1815 it founded, 
with to the Giordani and Mounts, the Italian Library. In 
the within of the controversy, that it then cracked the world 
of the geologic studies between the A.G. supporters Werner 
and those of J. Hutton, the position of the Breislak was 
much critic in the first comparisons of and far from the 
excesses of second (cfr. DBI, XIV, pp. 118-120).

Rare. Celebrated first appearance of this 

important and influential geological textbook that 
according to Zittel contained Breislak's "able criticism 
of the Neptunian dogmas was largely instrumental in 
eradicating them from the teaching of the universities 
and colleges... Breislak gives a good account of 
volcanic phenomena and volcanic rocks in Italy, and 
contributes a number of valuable observations on 
gaseous explosions, volcanic ejecta, and on lava and 
basalt." It was translated into French and German 
shortly after publication. Breislak is considered one of 
the founders of volcanology in Italy. He was a critic 
both of the theories of Plutonism and of Neptunism.

Breithaupt 

where he received his instruction from A.G. WERNER. He 
was granted an honorary doctorate by the Universities 
of Jena and Marburg. Subsequently, he was appointed 
Inspector of the Academy collections and also adjunct 
professor of mineralogy and geology at Freiberg, 1813—26. 
He became full professor in 1826, a position he retained 
for 40 years. He held membership in many Kuropean 
scientific academies. Throughout his career Breithaupt 
independently discovered 47 mineral species, made over 
3,000 measurements of calcite, studied amorphous crystal 
structures, developed the law of paragensis in minerals, 
and contributed to reforming mineralogical nomenclature. 
In recognition of his mineralogical skills, an antimonickel 
mineral was named "Breithaupt" in his honor by ??, 18??.

В REM В ATI 



Although other mineralogists such as the Russian 
Severgin had occassionally observed some regularity 
in associations among different minerals, Breithaupt 
was the first to actively conduct research in this area 
as a separate study. He was well situated for this 
purpose with the extensive mineral collection of the 
Bergakademie readily available and the mining activity 
along the Erzgebirge if full blossom. He collected 
together his observations about mineral relationships 
in the Paragenesis; the importance of which was 
immediately recognized by others studing mineralogy, 
petrology and geochemistry. For instance, Gustav 
Bischoff frequently cites the Parag'ensis in the first 
volume of his Textbook of Chemical and Physical 
Geology (4 vols., London, 185?-??), and the study of 
rnineralogical and geological relationships is today still 
described by the term "paragenses." Oddly, Breithaupt 
apparently failed to recognize his Paragenesis as an 
important contribution. In summarizing his views 
and accomplishments at the end of his career for 
inclusion in the Festschrift published to commemorate 
the centennial of the Bergakademie (1866), Breithaupt 
does not even mention the paragensis of minerals.

VERY SCARCE. Brisson, an experimental physicist 
of great skill, prepared this work, considered "The 
first major tables of specific gravity." Inaccuracies in 
previous compilations of specific gravities, including 



the widely used and extensive tables of P. Van 
Musschenbroek [1692-1761], led Brisson to determine 
the specific gravity values of a large number of metal, 
mineral, fluid, animal, and vegetable substances, using 
clean water at a standard temperature. As Sinkankas 
notes, Brisson was accurate enough to be able to 
distinguish between authentic and fake precious stones 
through the means of specific gravity. Brisson urged 
that this method of identification together with other 
commonly used features like color and hardness could be 
a reliable diagnostic tool. Through his role as a teacher 
and his writings, Brisson had considerable influence in 
spreading scientific knowledge.

SCARCE. In the preface, Bristow writes of his 
wish to create a work that could be used by those 
wishing to study the mineral collections of the British 
Museum and the Museum of Practical Geology. A short 
technical introduction briefly defines crystallography, 
physical and chemical properties, mineral classification, 
and the floor plan of the Museum of Practical Geology 
of London. The main text is an alphabetical dictionary 
of hundreds of terms. Many of the definitions are 
more detailed than a simple explanation by providing 
historical and locality information.

VERY SCARCE. This is an author catalog, 

covering the general library and the libraries attached 
to the Departments of Zoology, Geology, Mineralogy 
and Botany. It is particularly valuable for the 
detailed bibliographical notes and tables of contents 
of composite works, series, reports of scientific 
expeditions, etc. The original catalog consists of the 
first five volumes that were in later years supplmented 
by three additional volumes. From its publication it has 
been an important reference, listing titles of many rare 
books in natural history, including mineralogy.

BROCCHI, Giovanni Battista. (Born: Bassano, 
Italy, 18 Febrary 1772; DIED: Kartoum, Sudan, 23 
September 1826) Italian geologist & mineralogist. 

In 1801, Brocchi was named professor of natural 
history at the Lyceum in Brescia. In 1809, he became 
inspector of mines in Milan, and for this made an extensive 
tour of Italy. At the request of the royal family, he made 
in 1821 an tour of Egypt. Brocchi was a member of the 
Institute of Milan. 

It studied jurisprudence and theology to the 
University of Padova, but very soon it began to be 
interested to natural sciences and in particular to geology. 
He was university professor of natural history to the 
Grammar school of Brescia from 1801 to 1808, year in 
which was called in the napoleónica administration of the 
Reign of Italy like Inspector of the mines and it was 
moved to Milan. Brocchi maintained this assignment until 
the issolution of the Council of the Mines in 1814 and 
published three deals to you mineralogici on some goes 
them Lornbardic and tirolesi south. Between 1811 and 1819 
comp! you attend geo-mineralogici travels in several regions 
of Italy being interested in particular to vulcanici lands of 
Lazio and Campania. It died during a travel in Africa.

VERY SCARCE. A beautifully illustrated mono- 
graph being one of the fundamental works on the Ter- 
tiary paleontology and stratigraphy of Italy. After a 
long introduction the work continues with a summary of 
the progress of paleontological science in Italy from 1300 
to 1810. This is followed by an account of the formation 
of the Apennines Mountains and the adjacent plains, in 
which the Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments are clearly 
distinguished and described. The second volume pro- 
vides descriptions of shells from the Tertiary Epoch of 
the whole country, which is illustrated by sixteen mas- 
terly engraved plates. Of special interest are Brocchi's 
ideas on the extinction and the duration of existence of 
genera and species; he rejects the supposition of great 
catastrophe, and inclines to the theory of a steady and 
regular development.

BROCHANT DE VILLIERS, André Jean Marie. 

(BORN: Villiers, near Mantes, France, 6 August 1772; 
DlED: Paris, France, 16 May 1840) French geologist & 
mineralogist. 

From 1791 to '93, Brochant studied under A.G. 
WERNER at Freiberg. In 1794 he entered the newly formed 
Ecole des Mines. He won an appointment as an engineer 
in the Agence des Mines in 1800 and became an editor 
of the Journal des Mines in 1801. In 1804, Brochant was 
named a professor of geology of mineralogy at the Ecole 
des Mines. Eventually he became inspector general of 
mines throughout France. Brochant was instrumental in 
establishing a national survey to produce a geological map 
of the country. He held membership in the Académie des 
Sciences. In his honor, the mineral species "Brochantite" 
was named in his honor by A. LEVY in 1824.

VERY SCARCE. A major exposition of Werner's 
theories in the French language. Brochant writes that 
he origionally concieved to write a work that provided a 
concise view of the mineralogical principiais of Werner 
accompanied by a list of synonyms. But after starting 
the work, he decided that it was inadequate treatment 
and therefore compiled a complete treatise, enriched 
by his own observations. He perpared this work by 
examining every systematic work of importance written 
in the German language. Brochant has assimilated the 
information into a subperb treatise. He has closely 
followed the arrangement of Werner as delivered in 
lectures in 1800. His descriptions are compiled from 



the collected authorities of all authors consulted. A list 
of synonyms is presented. In the second volume, the 
author makes announcements of recent discoveries and 
how they were made. He also includes species and other 
information not contained in Werner's original ssytem. 
Brochant has added a sketch of geological arrangement, 
illustrated by descriptions of rocks, principally derived 
from field notes compiled by Daubuisson. Brochant has 
endeavoured to select from the knowledge others have 
accumulated, rather present his own theories. When he 
ventures a remark it is for illustration only. Thus, he 
has made this work a vehicle for presenting Werner's 
theories to the mineralogists of France for them to 
determine the merits of the system he has expounded. 

The directions to binder in vol. I instruct that the 
tables are to be bound in vol. II, but the directions in 
vol. II state that the additions to the volume have been 
so great that they must be bound separately. They are in 
fact sometimes bound into vol. II, but they are missing 
in this copy as in the University of Illinois copy described 
by Ward and Carozzi. Offered with a second copy of vol. 
II, untrimmed (130 x 225mm) in the original blue boards, 
rebacked, new endpapers, signature 'Ilchester' on half-title, 
also without the tables.

VERY SCARCE. Discusses the crystallographic 
theories of Weiss, Beudant, Leblanc, Gay— Lussac, etc., 
but especially the principles laid down by Haiiy, with 
whom he collaborated. Observations on geometrical 
and physical properties are included. This work is 
an expansion of the article Brochant prepared for the 
Dictionaire des Sciences Naturelle (Paris, ????). It is 
written in such a manner as to provide the beginner 
with a textbook but useful information to the expert as 
well. The first part provides a geometrical description of 
crystals based on Haiiy's theories. In this Brochant has 
been helped by the careful examination of the collection 
of the School of Mines. The second part theoretically 
describes the physical phenomenon of crystallization, 
which had occupied the authors studies for some time.

RARE. The first catalog describing objects of 
natural history published in Sweden. It is written in 
the form of a prospectus or proposal for a larger never 
published work. It was based upon the author's own 
cabinet of specimens, of which minerals were clearly a 
major component.

Bromell 

BROMELL, Magnus von. (Born: Stockholm, 
Sweden, 26 March 1679; DIED: Stockholm, Sweden, 26 
March 1731) Swedish physician & mineralogist. 

The son of the physician O. BROMELIUS, Magnus 
choose the surname Bromell when he was raised to 
the nobility. From 1697 to 1704, Magnus had a far 
ranging education in Holland, England and France. Upon 
his return home he displayed a thorough knowlege of 
medicine, anatomy, chemistry and botany. Bromell became 
a professor of anatomy at the Collegium Medicurn in 
Stockholm, before being elected head of the Institute in 
1724. Being an accomplished chemist and mineralogist, 
Bromell was appointed to the Board of Mines, where in 
1720 he was named assessor. On the death of U. HJARNE 
in 1724, Bromell succeeded him as head of the chemical 
laboratory.

VERY SCARCE. This modest, little mineralogy had 
a profound influence upon the subsequent development 
of mineral classification. Designed as a handbook 
to help the Swedish naturalist in their mineralogical 
studies it is written for a threefold purpose. First, to 
distinguish and recognize the principal minerals, and 
to instruct the reader upon the proper names of rocks 
and ores, their nature, habit and use. Second, to 
describe which types of useful minerals should be found 
in Sweden, and third, which metals and minerals had 
already been found in the kingdom. This last section 
emphasises those minerals and ores for which additional 
deposits needed to be located. 

In this work, Bromell uses chapters to separate 
the divisions of the minerals, ores and petrifications. 
Within each chapter the properties of the group are 
described. By this method, the author developed a 
mineral classification that employs both physical and 
chemical properties. He divides minerals into earths, 
salts, sulphur and sulphurous rocks, stones, minerals 
and semimetals, and ores and metals. These divisions 
parallel the classifications of JOHN WOODWARD and 
URBAN Hjärne. Like Agrícola, Bromell subdivides the 
earths according to their use, into medicaments, earths 
used by painters and dyers, earths used for cleaning and 
polishing, earths used in ceramics, fertilizers, earthy 
ores, and fuels. However, in this early attempt at 
physical— chemical distinction, for the class of stones, 
Bromell is the first mineralogist to group together 
species according to the more consistant property of 
the minerals behavior in fire. 

Through his father, Bromell became a passionate 
collector of minerals and fossils. He had inherited 
the cabinet begun by his father and had considerablly 
added to its numbers. While studying the collection, 
he became curious about the effect fire had on various 
specimens. Employing the crude qualitative techniques 
of the era, various samples of what were classified 
as stones by Bromell were placed in fire and the 
resulting reactions recorded. This lead Bromell to 
categorize stones into four subdivisions: fire— resistant 
stones, stones that calcine, stones that become harder 
and stones that fuse and become glass. Since a 
stone's chemical composition ultimately determined its 
reaction in the fire, and therefore the category to 
which it was assigned, Bromell foreshadowed the more 
elaborate chemical classification system to be developed 
later by Friedrich Axel Cronstedt. Bromell 
also demonstrates by his emphasis upon describing 
the properties of minerals his interest in an orderly 
description of their natural characters.

Brongniart 

BRONGNIART, Alexandre. (Born: Paris, France, 5 
February 1770; DIED: Paris, France, 7 October 1847) 
French geologist & mineralogist. 

Alexandre was the brother of the famous French 
biologist, Adolphe-Theodore [1801-1876]. As a student, 
Brongniart had studied chemistry with A. LAVOISIER. In 
1794, he graduated with a degree in mine engineering. He 
was appointed a professor of the Société Gymnastique from 
1787 to 1794. From 1797, he was also a professor at the 
Ecole Centrale, Collège des Quatre Nations. In 1800, he 
accepted the directorship of a porcelain factory in Sèvres, 
France. While there, he helped develop the science of 
ceramic chemistry. From 1818, Brongniart was the chief 
engineer of mines for the French nation.

SCARCE. Brongniart's Traité was the product 
of a commission to prepare a text for use in the 
mineralogical courses taught by RENÉ Just HaÜY 
and the author at the Faculté des Sciences and the 
Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. For this purpose, the 
author created a simple classification system based 
primarily on physical properties, but also influenced by 
Haüy's crystallographic theories. Brongniart insisted 
that studying how minerals occurred as well as their 
properties would lead to a better understanding of their 
origin. The work is largely directed to economic aspects 
of the science. The introduction is a thorough treatment 
of mineralogical principles, which is followed by an 
overview of the classification scheme, a table of the same

BRONN, Heinrich Georg. (BORN: Ziegelhausen 
near Heidelberg, Germany, 3 March 1800; DIED: 
Heidelberg, Germany, 5 July 1862) German geologist 
& paleontologist. 

Bronn studied at the University at Heidelberg where 
he took his doctor's degree in the faculty of medicine in 
1821. The following year he was appointed professor of 
natural history. He now devoted himself to palaeontological 
studies, and to field-work in various parts of Germany, 
Italy and France. His principal work, Letkaea Geognostica 
(2 vols., Stuttgart, 1834-8; 3rd ed. with F. Romer, 3 
vols., 1851-6), has been regarded as one of the foundations 
of German stratigraphical geology. In 1861 Bronn was 
awarded the Wo Hast on medal by the Geological Society of 
London.

BROOKE, Henry James. (BORN: Exeter, Devonshire, 
England, 25 May 1771; DlED: London, England, 26 
June 1857) English mineralogist & crystallographer. 

Brooke first studied law, but eventually became a 
merchant. He began in the Spanish wool trade, followed 
by ventures in South American mining companies and the 
London Life Assurance Association. As a pastime, he 
began to collect minerals. This collection subsequently 
passed to his son, who in 1857 presented it to Cambridge 
University, Dept. of Mineralogy. Brooke was elected a 
Fellow of the London Geological Society in 1815 and a 
Fellow of the Linnean Society in 1818. Eventually, Brooke 
was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1819. In 
his honor, the mineral "Brookite" was named after him by 
A. LEVY in 1825.

VERY SCARCE. Dedicated to William Wollaston, 
inventor of the reflecting goniometer, this book proposes 
a new system of crystallographic notation. Brooke uses 
a method of letters and subscript figures to indicate 
crystal forms. For the primary forms or primitive, he 
chose the capitals P, M, T (from primitive). Secondary 
and other faces were noted with other letters in small 
type. Sweet (1978) suggests that this particular 
nomenclature was developed by Brooke from Count 
Bournon's treatise on calcite, which allocated numbers 
to each form found. 

This work had great influence on the course of 
crystallography during its time.

VERY SCARCE. A very popular series, this 
is a comprehensive encyclopedia of natural history, 
contemporary but independent of Buffon's Histoire 
Naturelle, which was started in 1763. Illustrated with 
145 engravings, each showing several figures, Brooke 
extracts from the works of previous authors in his 
descriptions of the realms of nature, most notably 
Linnaeus. The introduction to volume one tells that the 
author had traveled to Africa and America, and that the 
work utilizes the systems of Ray and Linnaeus. The fifth 
volume is devoted to the earth and objects found within, 
and includes studies of minerals, fossils, volcanoes, 
earthquakes and magnets, which is illustrated with 
engraved plates. Brookes basically follows the theories 
of Linneaus in his description of how minerals are 
classified. 

The set has the following volume titles: Vol 1.

RARE. An observant traveler, Brown recorded all 
the natural and historical objects and features he saw, 
as well as anything the bore on his medical profession. 
For his grand tour, he made a difficult tour through 
the eastern regions of Europe. The present volume 
is a pleasant account of his travels in the 1668-9s 
through the mineral rich regions of Hungary, Austria, 
and Carinthia, with observations on many gold, silver, 
copper, mercury works. During 1668-9 Brown was 
in Vienna and undertook the journeys he describes. 
Like his near contemporary and fellow physician Martin 
Lister (1638-1712), author of A Journey to Paris (1698), 
Brown discourses on the geography, social customs and 
history of the areas in which he traveled.

Patrick Browne was born c.1720 at Woodstock, 
Claremorris, Co. Mayo and died at Woodstock in his native 
county. The Brownes of Woodstock, near Crossboyne, 
were a minor branch of the Brownes of Castlemacgarrett. 
Patrick received, his early education in Mayo and at the 
age of sixteen was sent to live with a relative in Antigua, 
one of the English islands in the Caribbean, which at that 
time had a substantial number of Irish-born landowners. 
A year later he returned to Europe to study medicine at 
the University of Paris. He graduated with the degree of 
Doctor of Medicine and went to London where he practised 
in St. Thomas's Hospital before returning to the West 
Indies around 1746. After spending ten years in Jamaica 
making his living as a physician, he returned to England, 
and brought with him a substantial collection of dried 
and pressed plants, preserved fishes and other zoological 
specimens. While there he commissioned the renowned 
botanical artist Georg Dionysius Ehret to prepare the 
illustrations for his proposed book. The first edition 
was published on 10 March, 1756, as Browne himself 
tells us in a letter to Linnaeus. The Civil and Natural 
History of Jamaica is considered one of the greatest natural 
history books of the eighteenth century, and in many 
respects second only to the earliest works of Carl Linnaeus, 
who wrote of Browne " . you ought to be honoured 
with a Golden Statue" . In this substantial work Browne

catalogued Jamaican plants and animals, classified the 
rocks and soils, and recounted briefly the history of the 
island and its government. More than half the book is 
devoted to the description of the native and cultivated 
plants of the island, with quite a substantial section on 
animals.

VERY SCARCE. This is one of the author's great 
works marked by enormous research and learning. 
Browne attacks false traditions, superstitions and 
folklore relating to the nature of plants, animals, 
minerals, and man. Commonly refereed to as "Vulgar 
errors" (from the running header), it probably owes its 
creation to commonplace books compiled by Browne 
when traveling in Ireland and the Continent. However, 
the Pseudodoxia Epidemica also includes observations 
on a number of topics including physics, comparative 
anatomy and biology made by Browne himself. The 
first use of the word "Electricity" occurs on page 51 
and the first use of the word "Mineralogist" occurs on 
page .

VERY SCARCE. This work is an early geographi- 
cally divided guide to mining throughout Europe with 
references to mining in the New World. Part one uses 
individual chapters to treat the countries of Portugal, 
Spain, France, Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, 
The Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, Norway, 
Sweden, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Turkey and Greece. 
There is also considerable additional discussion of min- 
ing activities in America and Spanish America. The 
text recounts various descriptions of individual mines 
and entire districts and the materials mined. These 
descriptions include frequent mention of the individual 
minerals processed, which in some cases are illustrated 
on the accompanying plates. Details are also included 
about the discovery and history of the mining oper- 
ations. The second part retains the same format as 
the first, but greatly expands information by including 
much new material. 

The very rare supplement describes the world fa- 



mous mining works of Sweden and was published in 
Wolff enbüttel in 1734.

and actinolite. Asbestos was known to the ancients and 
its miraculous property of resistance to burning was 
widely thought to be magical. The ancient Greeks used 
asbestos in their cloth and the Romans used it in their 
building materials. Here, Brückmann provides a short 
history and description of asbestos.

Germany. The first 72 letters give interesting and 
diverse accounts of excursions throughout Germany, 
with particular reference to paleontology. One 

section describes Brückmann's Museum of Metallic 
Specimens. 

The Epistolse seems to have been originally 
published separately, and each has an original title 
page of earlier date that the complete collection. 
Ferguson, J. (1906) says, "The Epistolse Itinerarias 
in three hundred numbers appeared between 1726- 
1753. They were afterwards collected in six volumes, 
with title pages. A list of those referring to 

mineralogy, etc., is contained in Leupold's Prodrornus 
Bibliothecas Metallicse (Wolffenbuttel, 1732, p. 37)." 
However, Ferguson was incorrect, only 275 epistola were 
published, not 300. 

Contents: The volumes comprise 275 separate "Epis- 
tolorum" or letters on a wide variety of subjects, each with 
their own title page and in many cases their own pagina- 
tion. The general form for the title pages is they are printed 
in black with Brückmann's name and accomplishments at 
the top followed by the Epistola number, the title/subject 
of the letter, the addresses name and accomplishments and 
concluding with place of publication and year. For pur- 
poses of brevity the following list provides details only on 
the Epistola number, title, addressee, publication informa- 
tion and pagination.

RARE. A remarkable book that incorporates 
Brückmann's personal observations of gemstones, 
minerals and fossils under an umbrella of a general 
treatise on precious stones. Throughout the text, the 
author displays his extensive knowledge the of subject, 
incorporating numerous quotations and citations to the 
mineralogical literature of the time, while giving his 
own perceptive views on the subject under examination. 
The classification he adopts to arrange the stones is an 
innovation. Through his father's extensive collection, 
Brückmann had considered mineralogical subjects his 
entire life, and the insight he brings to his descriptions 
shows the extent of gemological knowledge of the 18th 
century. Sinkankas gives a full description.

RARE. Rewritten and enlarged edition with the ad- 
dition of many new stones, and a valuable appendix, "Von 
den größtentheils unbekannten sogenannten Edelsteinen" 
(pp. 359-388), that attempts to identify the so-called gem- 
stones of the ancient writers. As Sinkankas writes: "This 
glossary is unique and deserves to be translated with an 
interpretation in the light of modern knowledge; there are 
hundreds of terms and I know of no other place in the 
literature where a similar glossary of ancient gemologi- 
cal/mineralogical terms exists." Brückmann also expands 
his system of classification incorporating new categories 
and ornamental materials such as marble, granite, etc. 
Since the appearance of the first edition in 1757 the au- 
thor had researched extensively to write this enormously 
enlarged treatment. He carried on his research issuing two 
supplemental parts that are described below.

gem and mineral collection, which he had amassed 
through over 60 years of collecting, with great effort and 
much expense. As would be expected from his textbook 
on gemology, Brückmann had a particular fondness for 
gem minerals and these are represented throughout the 
catalog in both cut and natural crystal specimens. Over 
6,000 lots are described in the text. The sale took place 
after Brückmann's death, and was initiated by his heirs.

SCARCE. Written for the beginner interested 
in crystallography, this Elements of Crystallography 
provides a good introduction to the science. The 
first part (pp. 1-23) covers general material like 
definitions, crystal measurement and projections. The 
next section (pp. 24-116) describes the crystal forms 
(cubic, tetragonal, hexagonal, trigonal, monoclinic, and 
triclinic), and twinning. The final part (pp. 117-184) 
describes physical crystallography, including cohesion, 
etch figures, elastic deformation, hardness, and the 
optical, thermal, magnetic and electrical properties of 
crystals. At the conclusion are short discussion of the 
relationship between chemistry and crystal form, an 
overview of the 32 classes of crystal forms and an index 
to the text.

VERY SCARCE. Completely revised edition, based 
on Lenz's Mineralogisches Taschenbuch (Erfurt, 1798-9). 
Brunner's mineralogical system offered little that was 
either new or interesting. Typical of the period, the 
external characters play a great part, and the chief divisions 
are Earths, Salts, Bitumens and Metals. The first of these 
is subdivided according to structure into earthy or powdery, 
fine bladed, leafy, star-like, fiberous, fine-grained and dense 
or compact. The salts are split according to their taste 
into sour and sweet assemblages. The volume begins with 
discussions of color, external form, fracture, and luster. 
An overview of the system is then presented, followed by 
the complete system including a section devoted to new 
minerals. The book concludes with an index to minerals 
mentioned.

a good foundation for the logical organization of the 
species. 

The preliminaries of the work include a short 
passage on why this work should be used, a list 
of literature cited, and a general introduction to 
mineralogical science covering some definitions and 
general remarks. The text then presents the 

classification of the mineral species. This systematic 
portion is divided into five classes: (1) earths and 
stones, (2) salts, (3) flammable substances, like pitch 
and amber, (4) metals and (5) petrifications. An index 
in Danish to the mineral names and a page of errata 
conclude the work.

Brush 

BRUSH, George Jarvis. (BORN: Brooklyn, New 
York, U.S.A., 15 December 1831; DIED: New Haven, 
Connecticut, U.S.A., 6 February 1912) American 
mineralogist & university administrator. 

Brush graduated from Yale in 1852. Having decided 
upon a career in mineralogy and chemistry, he traveled to 
Freiberg, enrolling at the Bergakademie in 1853. There 
he was instructed by J.F. BREITHAUPT, who stimulated his 
already intense interest in the composition of minerals. 
Upon his return to America, Brush was made an assistant 
in chemistry at the University of Virginia. However, this 
was followed soon after by an appointment as professor of 
metallurgy at Yale University, a post he held from 1855 
to 1871. In 1868, he happily added the title of professor 
of mineralogy, an appointment he retained throughout his 
subsequent positions until his retirement in 1898. He 
became director of the Sheffield Scientific School in 1872 
and as administrator showed a gift for the position. Even 
with his time stretched running the school, Brush still 
found time to teach his favorite subject of mineralogy to 
new pupils. Throughout his life he amassed a fine personal 
collection of over 15,000 mineral specimens, which was 
bequeathed to the Yale Peabody Museum. In 1983, the 
family donated a large accumulation of Brush letters and 
mementos to Yale University. Included in the collection are 
a large number of letters from important mineralogists.

SCARCE. A reset ¡issue of the first appendix to the 
fifth edition of Dana's System (New York, 1868) which has 
kept the four preliminary pages unaltered, but has reset 
the text to now exist in 18 pages instead of the original 19 
by the elimination of all illustrations. This particular issue 
of the appendix appears to only exist bound up with the 
1874 London issue of Dana's fifth edition.

SCARCE. This is one of the best textbooks on 
the subject of determinative mineralogy using the blow- 
pipe. It was intended, in accordance with an original 
plan between James Dwight Dana and Brush to be 
the Determinative Part of Dana's System of Mineralogy 
(5th ed., New York, 1868), for which Brush had 
contributed the pyrognostic material. Certainly, from 
its first issue it is was the mostly widely used text on the 
subject within American universities and colleges. The 
author calls this work a compilation based on the tenth 
edition of Von Kobell's Tafeln zur Bestimmung der 
Mineralien (München, 1873). While this is true, Brush 
also added extensively from his own vast experience of 
blow— pipe reactions in minerals. Moreover, in inspired 
innovation, the species, with their blowpipe characters, 
are arranged in a series of extended tables, which 
when used properly lead the student to the name of 
the mineral that was being examined based upon the 
reactions observed. These tables include all species 
known to the time of publication.

Although the title page proclaims this the fifteenth edition, 
it is in fact a major revision to Brush's original work. The 
consequence being this is the finest textbook on the use of 
the blow-pipe ever written in the English language.

BUC'HOZ, Pierre Joseph. (Born: Metz, France, 27 
January 1731; DIED: Paris, France, 30 January 1807) 
French botanist & naturalist. 

Buc'hoz was the son of Pierre Brughant, Bourgeois 
of Metz. He was persuaded to follow his father's profession 
and In- embarked on a carrer to practice law. However, 
Buc'hoz did not find the profession agreeable and instead 
moved to Nancy where he took up the study of medicine, 
graduating on February 22, 1763. He was appointed 
physician ordinary to King Stanislas of Poland, but was 
accused of not fulfilling his duties and quit to devote his 
full energy to the study of botany. He collaborated on the 
founding of the Jardin des Plantes at Nancy, and for twelve 
years со— edited a newspaper on agriculture. 

Buc'hoz eventually settled in Paris where he made 
a living by preparing many illustrated works about the 
three realms of natural history. In 1788, to mend his 
finances, Buc'hoz sold at auction his large library concerned 
with natural history.!*! He petitioned the French goverment 
for a pension, and to support his claim he published a 



bibliography of his own works, Dissertation en forme de 
catalogue des différents travaux de J.— P. Buchoz dans la carrière 
botanique pendant plus de cinquante ans. (Paris, 1794). 
Buc'hoz held membership in the academies of Metz, Nancy, 
d'Angers, Béziers, Bordeaux, Châlons— Saint Marne, Lyon, 
Rouen and Mayence. 

Buc'hoz was a prolific author, who on the title pages 
of his many publications, usually reversed his christian 
names [i.e. Joseph Pierre, not Pierre Joseph]. However, 
his writings in science and natural history developed a bad 
reputation owing to their inaccuracies and the incomplete 
understanding of the author about the subjects. This has 
caused Buc'hoz to be labeled the Sir JOHN HILL of France. 
Buc'hoz' reputation today is perhaps best summed up in 
the Hunt Catalog: "Buc'hoz is not beloved of botanists, 
bibliographer's or collectors of prints. He has a maddening 
way of using the same plates again and again and again, in 
book after book — sometimes colored, sometimes uncolored, 
sometimes badly colored, sometimes reversed, sometimes 
redrawn, sometimes with added details, sometimes with 
changes to nomenclature." As can be seen from the 
descriptions of his mineralogical works, this is a fair 
assessment.

with the animal kingdom. PAGE SIZE: 505 x 335 mm. 

Rare. A little known, finely illustrated natural 
history covering the three realms of plants, animals 
and minerals. It is one of the best known works of 
the prolific Buc'hoz, and because of the author's reuse 
of the plates in later works, a difficult bibliographic 
problem. The work contains no text, but consists of 
a series of plates in royal folio. On unstated evidence, 
both Brunet and the BMC date the work "(1775) 1778- 
1781." Since no "decade" of the first volume contains 
any date, there is no direct reason for dating the first 
volume in 1775; however, the decades of the second 
volume are dated Amsterdam, 1778 (nos. 1—3); Paris, 
1778 (no. 4); Amsterdam, 1779 (no. 5) and 1780 (no. 
6); Paris, 1780 (nos. 7, 8); and Paris, 1781 (nos. 9, 10). 

Premier [Seconde] Centurie des Planches appears 
to be the first appearance of any portion of the work 
as it relates to mineralogy. Complete copies of the 
book are usually bound in 2 volumes, each covering 100 
subjects or one "centurie." It is from this grouping 
that the designation of Premier or Seconde Centurie 
as used in the title is derived. The two volumes 
contain 20 suites of large folio engraved plates, each 
with an engraved title page (most printed in colors 
other than black), an engraved table of contents and 
plates illustrating 10 subjects. Each of the subjects is 
present in both uncolored and hand— colored impression 
making the complete 2 volume work total 400 plates 
(200 uncolored plates of subjects, 200 colored). 

Each "decade" is devoted to a natural kingdom — 
animal, vegetable or mineral, in that order — each 
volume thus having "decades" 1, 4, 7 and 10 devoted 
to animals, 2, 5, and 8 to plants, and 3, 6, and 9 to 
minerals and fossils. Therefore, within this work there 
are 80 different plates (in both colored and uncolored 
state) depicting animals, and 60 each showing plants 
and minerals. As there is essentially no accompanying 
text, the merits of this book must rest on the quality 
of the illustrations, and although sometimes crude they 
are among the finest colored illustrations of minerals 
created in the eighteenth century. 

Unreserved praise must go to the numerous 
artists who designed Buc'hoz' plates [see notes below]. 
Greatest among these was Jean Baptiste Desmoulins. 
Buc'hoz was also fortunate in retaining several of the 
foremost engravers of the times such as C. Bacquoy, 
Dupin fils and C. Fessard. These artisans and others 
engraved and magnificently hand— colored the plates of 
this work. In fact it is reported that after he became a 
widower, Buc'hoz married one of the lady coloriste who 
had worked on this book. It can also be observed that a 
number of the mineralogical specimens illustrated have 
been copied directly from the works of other authors 
like Knorr and Schmiedel. 

Claude Mathieu Fessard. (BORN: Fontainebleau, 

France, 1740; DIED: Paris, France, After 1803) French 
engraver & etcher. Fessard was a student of the great 
French artist Joseph de Longueil [1730-1792]. He travelled 
to England in 1765 to expand his experience, after which he 
illustrated several books of voyages and travels, including 
P.S. Pallas' Voyage en Russie (Paris, 1788-93). Fessard 



signed his work "Fessard jeune" in order to distinguish it 
from the engravings of Etienne Fessard [1714-1777]. 

Jean Victor Dupin. (BORN: Paris, France, 1718; DIED: 
Paris, France?, ) French engraver. Dupin was the son 

of the renowned engraver Pierre Dupin [1690—1755?], with 
whom he worked in his early career. Jean Victor usually 
signed his work "Dupin fils." 

Jean Baptiste Desmoulins. (BORN: Paris, France, 1740; 
DIED: ) French engraver. French copper engraver who 

worked in Paris and collaborated with Abbé de Saint— Non. 

Jean Charles Baquoy. (BORN: Paris, France, 16 

June 1721; DIED: Paris, France, 24 February 1777) French 
engraver. French copper engraver who signed his work C. 
Baquoy and belongs to the greatest vingette engravers of 
the eighteenth century.

should be considered a separate, new work. 

Brunet dates this work as "1782-97," which 
indicates the work was issued in a series of parts. 
However, no direct evidence has been uncovered 
to support this contention. Although it would 

seem likely that Buc'hoz would have sold this 
work through a subscription system by periodically 
preparing additional plates for the book, no wrappers, 
advertisements or other evidence has been found. Only 
circumstantial support comes from a relatively large 
number of copies of this work being described as having 
fewer than 100 plates; that number usually being 88. In 
addition, the last 40 plates are new, with no indication 
of "Decade." Instead, each plate although unnumbered, 
has in its upper right-hand corner a "PI." designation.

chemical composition of specimens, the major meteorite 
collections with a listing of the falls represented, and 
methods used in cataloging the collections. To help 
determine a falls monetary worth, Büchner listed not 
only the meteorites localities held in various public and 
private collections, but also the weight of each of the 
263 falls represented.

BUCKLAND, William, Reverend. (BORN: Axmin- 
ster, England, 1784; DlED: Oxford, England, 14 August 
1856) English geologist, mineralogist & clergyman. 

He was dean of Westminster from 1845. First to note 
in England the action of glacial ice on rocks, he did much to 
bring physical and natural science into high repute and was 
responsible for giving Oxford (where he was a student and 
later a fellow) an international name in science. He wrote 
Reliquiae Diluvianae (1823) and Geology and Mineralogy 
Considered with Reference to Natural Theology (1836). 
Francis T. Buckland, English surgeon and naturalist, was 
his son. 

William Buckland may not be a household name, but 
to dinosaur lovers the world over, he should be. Professor of

History 



Buckland 




Buckland 



Geology at Oxford, Buckland is responsible for the world's 
first description of a recognized dinosaur fossil, although 
the term "dinosaur" didn't exist at the time. In 1824, 
Buckland published Notice on the Megalosaurus or Great 
Fossil Lizard of Stonesfield. 

In the same science meeting where he described 
Megalosaurus Buckland also announced — reassured by 
Cuvier that it was correct — the first fossil mammal from 
the Age of Reptiles. In its own way, this tiny mammal 
fossil was as surprising as the giant reptile he had just 
named. Conventional wisdom of the time said mammals 
came only after the great reptiles. Years later, Buckland 
tried to resolve the controvery he had raised by suggesting 
that the mammal was an "inferior" marsupial. 

Buckland 's discoveries in paleontology were as varied 
as they were distinguished. In 1822, in An Assemblage 
of Fossil Teeth and Bones, he described a feeding frenzy 
of ancient hyenas based on fossil remains. That same 
year he discovered an ancient human skeleton. He initially 
and correctly identified it as male, but later reversed the 
decision and proclaimed the skeleton not only female but 
also (perhaps in jest) a witch! After calling it the Red 
Witch, he finally gave the skeleton the more palatable name 
of the Red Lady of Paviland. 

Unlike the scriptural geologists of his day, Buckland 
did not hold to a literal interpretation of Genesis, especially 
in terms of geologic time. Nevertheless, he was a 
deeply religious man who devoted much of his life to 
supporting scripture with geology, attracting criticism 
from theologians and scientists alike. Buckland had an 
open mind; persuaded by Louis Agassiz and his own 
observations, he eventually traded his belief in the diluvial 
theory for support of the Ice Age theory. And Buckland was 
a fantastic popularizer of science who had the grace not to 
take himself too seriously. One of his students recounted 
how Buckland once 

. . . rushed, skull in hand, at the first undergraduate 
on the front bench — and shouted, "What rules the world?" 
The youth, terrified, threw himself against the next back 
seat, and answered not a word. He rushed then on me, 
pointing the hyena full in my face — "What rules the 
world?" "Haven't an idea," I answered. "The stomach, sir," 
he cried. In another lecture, Buckland happily strutted 
about the room imitating the gait of giant birds he believed 
left their footprints in ancient deposits. (The "birds" could 
well have been bipedal dinosaurs.) Afterwards, one of 
Buckland's high-minded colleages scoffed, "the grossness 
of the Buffoonery acted on me like an emetic."

SCARCE. In this work, Buckland helped redefine 
the role of science and theology. Geologists of the day 
wanted to produce a detailed explanation that would 
constitute a geological history, period by period, of the 
events of a given locality ... Buckland was perhaps the 
best able of the British geologists and probably the 
most acute to build a careful local stratigraphy and 
local dnamic expiations collobarated with the addition 
of fossil evidence.

around 1769. In 1776, he was appointed professor of 
chemistry and natural history at the Ecole de Medicine. 
He collaborated with Lavoisier in work on gases and their 
effects on substances. He was a member of the Paris

of émigrés, mainly aristocrats and clergymen who fled from 
France into England from 1792 onwards as a result of the 
French Revolution. He established himself in Bath, where 
he supported himself by publishing leaflets and articles in 
mathematics and science. By 1821, Buée was again in 
Paris working on a new edition of Dictionnaire des termes de 
la Révolution he had first published anonymously in 1792 
before escaping to England.

RARE. This is a privately published offprint 
by Robert Clifford of his translation first published 
in the Philosophical Magazine (nos. 74-75, 1804) 
under the title "A letter from Abbé Buée to Mr. 
****, on Mr. Rome de l'lsle and the Abbé Haüy's 
theories of crystallography." Originally written in 
French, Buée had authored the letter in order to 
contrast the differences between the crystallographic 
systems of Rome de l'lsle and Haiiy, which at the 
time were both considered similar in nature. It is an 
important critique of Rome de l'Isle's system, which 
Buée characterizes as primarily descriptive, as opposed 
to Haüy's mathematically based system. Buée shows 
that Rome's selection of primitive forms was arbitrary, 
where as Haüy's was based upon direct observations 
of the crystals. The original article was reprinted 
in Nicholson's Journal (vol. 9, 1804) under the title 
"Outlines of the Mineralogical Systems of Rome de l'lsle 
and the Abbé Haüy: with Observations." There it is 
introduced by a letter from R. Clifford who translated 



it from Buée's original French. At that time Buée was 
in England having fled Paris and the Reign of Terror.

BUFFON 

BUFFON, Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de. (Born: 
Montbard, Côte d'Or, France, 7 September 1707; DIED: 
Paris, France, 16 April 1788) French naturalist & 
biologist. 

Buffon was from 1739 he was keeper of the Jardin du 
Roi (later the Jardin des Plantes) in Paris and made it a 
center of research during the Enlightenment. He devoted 
his life to his monumental Histoire Naturelle (44 vol., 1749- 
1804), a popular and brilliantly written compendium of 
data on natural history interspersed with Buffons own 
speculations and theories. Of this work, the volumes 
Histoire Naturelle des Aanimaux and Epoques de la Nature 
are of special interest. His famous Discours sur le Style was 
delivered (1753) on his reception into the French Academy. 
He also contributed to the mathematics of probability.

Histoire Générale 

Button's Natural History, General and Particular for the first 
time presented a survey of the whole of natural science 
in a popular form. It is a monumental work, justifiably 
praised, containing information on almost every topic of 
18th century natural history. It is also brilliantly written 
and through its diversity of topics, originality and richness 
of thought, it became an authoritative voice until the time 
of Darwin. 

In 1739 Buffon became director of the Jardin du Roi 
(now Jardin des Plantes). In this position he began a 
catalog of the collections, but soone developed the project 
into a complete study of nature that was unlike anything 
perviously known in the literature. It is among the first 
scientific works to present its ideas in an autonomous 
way, free from religious influence. As such the idea 
is developed that the earth and nature have developed 
over a very long period of geological time, and with in 
this intellectual framework, botany, paleontology, zoology, 
geography, mineralogy, etc are described. 

Beginning first with the help of his assistant, LOUIS 
DAUBENTON, and later with other collaborators, but 
always under his careful stewardship and control, this vast 
publication was advertised in a prospectus circulated in 
1749. In it Buffon outlines the scope of the project, the 
method of preparation, the number of volumes (Buffon 
envisioned 15 volumes, but the completed work is 44 
volumes), the contents of each volume, their illustrations, 
etc. Even though it was an expensive set to publish, the 
Histoire Naturelle proved to be a financial and popular 
success that is shown by the frequency with which the work 
was reissued and translated. However, it is this popularity 
that makes the bibliography of it various editions, issues, 
and translations a torny problem. To the original work 
were published supplemental volumes that are usually not 
included in later printings of the text. Also, the individual 
sections on birds, animals, minerals etc. were often times 
published as stand alone works for buyers not interested in 
purchasing the complete and expensive set. This all makes 
the complete bibliography of Button's Histoire Naturelle 
a knot that may never be fully unraveled. 

In the first edition of the Histoire Naturelle 
mineralogy is treated at the end of the work in five 
volumes that were published between 1783 and 1788. In 
addition 3 supplemental volumes dealing with mineralogy 
were published. Xxx xxxxxx xx xxxxx xx xxxxxx. Xxx

EXTREMELY RARE. The Prospectus for the Histoire 
Naturelle, written by Buffon himself, announcing to the 
world the publication of his revolutionary natural history 
work. It was to present "for the first time a complete 
survey of natural history in a popular form... [Buffon] was 
the first to present the universe as one complete whole 
and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely 
scientific explanation." (Printing and the Mind of Man). 
Here the project is outlined, with Buffon envisioning 15 
volumes to complete the text, the methodology followed, 
the contents of each volume, types of illustrations, etc. 
He emphasizes that the appearance of each volume will 
resemble the prospectus. At the conclusion, are listed 
the two booksellers — Durand and Pissot — through whom 
copies of the work could be obtained.

BUFFON 



I [double rule] | Tome Premier. | [double rule] | 
[ornament] | A Paris, | De L'Imprimerie Royale | 
[rule] | M. DCCXLIX. 

44 vols, in 45, 4°, with engraved vignettes on the 
titles of the first 15 vols., headpieces, and 1279 engraved 
plates including engraved portrait frontispiece (in vol. 
I of Supplément), 12 maps, and 4 folding tables. 

Very scarce. REWORK THIS ENTRY. Buff on 
devoted his life to his monumental Histoire Naturelle, 
a popular and brilliantly written compendium of data 
on natural history interspersed with Buffon's own spec- 
ulations and theories. Besides the comprehensive cov- 
erage of natural history (including mankind) and min- 
erals, the work incorporates Buffon's highly important 
Théorie de la Terre, elaborated in the fifth volume of 
the Supplement under the title Des Epoques de la. Na- 
ture. 

"Buffon's work is of exceptional importance be- 
cause of its diversity, richness, originality, and influence. 
Buffon was among the first to create an autonomous sci- 
ence, free of any theological influence. He emphasized 
the importance of natural history and the great length 
of geological time. He envisioned the nature of science 
and understood the roles of paleontology, zoological ge- 
ography, and animal psychology. He realised both the 
necessity of transformism and its difficulties. Although 
his cosmogony was inadequate and his theory of animal 
reproduction was weak, and although he did not under- 
stand the problem of classification, he did establish the 
intellectual framework within which most naturalists up 
to Darwin worked." (DSB) 

Buffon is considered the founder of evolutionary 
theory. "Georges Buffon set forth his general views 
on species classification in the first volume of his His- 
toire Naturelle. Buffon objected to the so-called "ar- 
tificial" classifications of Andrea Cesalpino and Caro- 
lus Linnaeus, stating that in nature the chain of life 
has small gradations from one type to another and 
that the discontinuous categories are all artificially con- 
structed by mankind. Buffon suggested that all organic 
species may have descended form a small number of pri- 
mordial types; this is an evolution predominantly from 
more perfect to less perfect forms." (Parkinson, Break- 
throughs) 

Like that other great product of the enlighten- 
ment, the Encyclopédie, the Histoire Naturelle was 
a collaborative enterprise, outliving its instigator and 
chief author. The two scientists who were foremost 
among the several contributors were DAUBENTON and 
Lacepede (first as Comte de, then as Citoyen): they 
completed the work after Buffon's death in 1788. 

Over 1,000 of the plates are the work of Jacques 
de Seve, père et firs: a full list of the artists is provided 
by Nissen. They range in style from exact anatomi- 
cal drawings (skeletons, dissections, etc.) to settings of 
animals in their natural habitat. The headpieces are 
fanciful masterpieces of baroque decoration. 

In spite of the costliness of the work, its numerous 
editions and translations testify to its popularity. Most 



sets lack some or all of the Supplement volumes, and/ or 
various plates. For clarity, below is a breakdown of the 
various sections of the work: 

Histoire Naturelle, Generale et Paticuliere, avec 
la Description du Cabinet du Roi, 15 vols., 1749-67. 
Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux, 9 vols., 1770-83. His- 
toire Naturelle des Minéraux, 6 vols, (the sixth vol. 
is the maps bound separately), 1783-88. Supplement 
a l'Histoire Naturelle, 7 vole., 1774-89. Histoire Na- 
turelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens, 2 
vole., 1788-89. Histoire Naturelle des Poissons, 5 vole., 
An VI- XI (1798-1803.) Histoire Naturelle des Cétacés, 
1 vol., I8O4. 

The Histoire Générale was a widely reprinted and 
translated work. Sometimes only individual sections 
were produced, other times the complete work ap- 
peared. Listed below are a spattering of these editions 
and translations known (or thought) to contain the min- 
eralogical section.

All finely hand-colored. PAGE SIZE: 298 x 242 mm. 

RARE. This item represents a tall set in its rarest 
and most costly state, with the meticulous hand-coloring 
adding another dimension to the fine plates. The periodic 
avis to the subscribers mentions copies on grand papier, but 
there is no mention of hand-coloring. Landwehr, in his 
notes to the first edition in Dutch, quotes contemporary 
source that mention four issues: normal paper, large paper, 
copies with colored plates and (most expensive of all) copies 
with plates and vignettes hand-colored. 

The set was published and bound in five different 
sections: Histoire Naturelle (15 vols.; Schneider, 1766-71), 
Supplement (7 vols.; vols. I-VI, Schneider, 1774-79 Sc vol. 
VII, Blussé, 1799), Oiseaux (9 vols.; Blussé, 1796-1795- 
1799), Minéraux (5 vols.; Blussé, 1798-9), and Ovipares 
et Serpens (2 vols.; Blussé, 1798-9). The correct number 
of plates is problematic: Nissen calls for 1130 plates and 
maps. Other sets have been sold with 1144 and 1156 plates 
and maps. 

With all the plates in beautiful Dutch contemporary 
colouring, this work is one of the rarest and most 
beautifully produced natural history works published in 
the Netherlands. The list of subscribers which is found 
in volume 8 lists only 2 coloured large paper copies, one for 
Daum, banquier à Berlin (pour un expie sur grand Papier 
Se enluminé) and the other one for M.L.P., all others were

uncoloured. The total number of copies printed did not 
exceed 200, a few large paper copies were issued and even 
fewer 'illuminated' copies. The price of a coloured copy 
was about fl. 600 which makes it one of the most expensive 
Dutch natural history books of the 18th century. The most 
expensive work was a coloured copy of Seba at fl. 800. 

The present 'l'Allemand' edition is the only quarto 
edition to rival the original French Imprimerie Royale 
edition (1749-1804) in 44 volumes. It does not contain the 
later published volumes by Lacépède on fishes and whales, 
as these were published after the date of above edition, 
it however contains numerous additions by l'Allemand 
which were included in the later French Buffon editions. 
All plates are after drawings by de Sève, the famous 
French landscape painter. The animals are depicted in 
their natural habitat, amidst charming landscapes, villages, 
rivers, mountains etc. These elaborately drawn plates, full 
of elegance, became exceedingly popular and have often 
been copied by later artists. They have an artistic liveliness 
which is somehow lacking in the the work Martinet made 
for Button's 'Planches Enluminées'. "Buffon's work is of 
exceptional importance because of its diversity, richness, 
originality, and influence. Buffon was among the first 
to create an autonomous science, free of any theological 
influence. He emphasized the importance of natural history 
and the great length of geological time" (DSB).

VERY SCARCE. A French naturalist and 

cosmologist; Buffon (1707-1788) is best noted for his 
monumental work Histoire Naturelle, published in 44 
vols, between 1749 and 1804. His writings contain 
an evolutionary theory for animal and plant life, and 
most importantly his volume "Epoques de la Nature" 
contains the description of the origins of the earth and 
other planets from comet impact with the sun and 
solidification from a molten state. Buffon points out the 
long chronological history of the earth that is recorded 
in the rocks. Volumes in the set cover the histories of 
the earth, man, animals, plants, and minerals. Many of 
the volumes pertain to the quadrapeds. The volumes 
offered above are the first edition of those which pertain 
to the theory of the earth.

VERY SCARCE. Perhaps the greatest publication of 
the French enlightenment of the 18th century was Buffon's 
Histoire Générale et Particulière (1st ed., 44 vols., Paris, 
1744—1804). "Buffon's work is of exceptional importance 
because of its diversity, richness, originality, and influence. 
Buffon was among the first to create an autonomous 
science, free of any theological influence. He emphasized 
the importance of natural history and the great length of 
geological time. He envisioned the nature of science and 
understood the roles of paleontology, zoological geography, 
and animal psychology. He realized both the necessity of 
transformism and its difficulties. Although his cosmogony 
was inadequate and his theory of animal reproduction was 
weak, and although he did not understand the problem of 
classification, he did establish the intellectual framework 
within which most naturalists up to Darwin worked" 
(DSB). 

This encyclopedia work provided comprehensive 
coverage of all aspects of natural history, including the 
realm of minerals. In the first edition, mineralogy 

was covered in five original volumes together with three 
supplemental tomes. In this 'Nouvelle Edition' the five 
original volumes have been bound up into two physical 
books. The minerals are arranged according to a scheme 
that assigns them to three classes of rock. Namely, (1) 
those created by primitive fire (=igneous rocks), (2) those 
created by secondary actions of heat like basalts, lava 
and ash deposits, and (3) those created by sedimentary 
processes. The first volume begins with the classification 
scheme and includes quartz, jasper, mica, talc, fluorite, 
tourmaline, granite, schist, alabaster, marble, and others. 
The second volume describes a wide variety of 'secondary' 
types including volcanic ejecta, salts, sulfur, alkalis, niter, 
borax, iron gold, etc. Volume three contains descriptions 
various metals and their minerals including lead, copper, 
silver, mercury, antimony, bismuth, zinc, platinum, cobalt, 
etc., as well as descriptions of stalactites, quartz crystals, 
various gemstones, and concluding the volume a tabular 
arrangement of the minerals according to their physical 
properties. Volume four contains descriptions of jaspers, 



concretions, jade, serpentine, turquoise, petrifications &c 
fossils, zeolites, pyrites, hematite, etc. The fifth volume 
describes magnets and magnetism especially as it applies 
to the earth's magnetic field. Accompanying this volume 
are a large number of tables listing various voyages, dates, 
longitude and latitudes.

VERY RARE. One of the great milestones in the 
history of earth science, in which Buff on suggest for the 
first time the great age of the earth. Buffon was an 
extremely influential French natural philosopher whose 
extensive works included one of the last speculative 
cosmogonies: Les Epoques de 7a Nature (1778). 
Beginning with the formation of the Earth, it covered 
seven epochs in analogy to the seven days of Creation. 
He proposed that the Earth was hot at its creation and, 
from the rate of cooling, calculated its age to be more 
than 100,000 years. 

This is the first separate edition, of a text that 
first appeared in quarto in the fifth volume of the 
Supplements, to Buffon's Histoire Naturelle in 1778. In 
this 12° edition the notes are incorporated as footnotes 
(having been relegated to the end of the book in the 
quarto edition), and there is a new Table Alphabétique.

BUONANNI (Bonanni), Filippo. (Born: Rome, 
Italy, 7 January 1638; DIED: Rome, Italy, 30 March 
1725) Italian theologian & conchologist. 

Buonanni entered the Jesuits in 1654 and became 
a pupil of Athanasius Kircher at the Collegio Romano. 
After completing his education, Buonanni taught first in 
the Jesuit college in Orvieta and then in the one in 
Ancona. He was called back to Rome in 1676 to be the 
Archivist of the Casa Professa, Il Gesua. He was appointed 
Rector of the College of the Maronites in Rome, 1695- 
1725. In 1698, he also accepted an appointment as the

curator of the Kircherian Museum at the Collegio Romano. 
Buonanni collected shells of sea life, which he classified and 
interpreted within an Aristotelian framework. He believed 
in their spontaneous generation. Some of his observations 
employed a microscope, which he had built himself.

RARE. First detailed and illustrated catalog of 
the famous Museum Kircherianum of the Jesuit Colle- 
gio Romano after its rebirth in the early 18th century. 
GIORGIO DE Sepi had previously published a glimpse of 
the Museum at its height in 1678. Kircher had originally 
built the collection on a collection previously assembled 
by Alfonso Donnino [ —1651], and utilized the net- 
work of Jesuit missionaries to provide new specimens of 
natural and ethnographic wonders from all the lands of 
the world. Kircher also had a passion for Egyptian an- 
tiquities including two authentic mummies, a collection 
of exotic shoes, and the first cuneiform tablet recorded 
in Europe. However, after Kircher's death in 1680 the 
collection languished for years before Buonanni was ap- 
pointed curator. 

Buonanni resurrected the collection and revital- 
ized its importance by moving it to a new building and 
again adding extensively to its contents. Here he pro- 
vides a detailed account of the objects and the genesis 
of the museum. As a conchologist himself, he devotes a 
large part of the text and 48 plates to illustrating 412 
specimens of shells. There is also a section devoted to 
microscopes and microscopic views. Buonanni's catalog 
gives a good idea of the museum contents contained at 
the time. It is a magnificent production and makes 
it clear why scientific visitors continued to visit the 
Museum Kircherianum. The plates comprise figures of 
Greek, Roman, and Egyptian antiquities, fossils, shells, 
animals, plants, waterworks, etc. Also illustrated is a 
Magic Latern, the invention of which is attributed to 
Kircher.

VERY SCARCE. Revised and edited by Giuseppe- 
Antonio Battarra [see note below]. Kircher, the great 
German Jesuit scholar, had formed during his life a 
magnificent collection of antiquities and natural history 
specimens. When he died in 1680, the collection was 
bequeathed to the Collegio Romano. Although Buonanni 
published a one volume account of the collection in 
1709, this much enlarged work is the definitive edition. 
The volumes cover mainly zoology, paleontology, and 
conchology, and are superbly illustrated. It is one of the 
most important accounts of a seventeenth century scientific 
cabinet. 

Volume 1 divides the text into classes of (1) 
quadrapeds, (2) reptiles and insects, (3) fossils, minerals 
and stones, (4) fish and sea creatures, and (5) 
apparatus. Pages 94-152 describe the mineralogical 

specimens, including gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin, 
mercury, antimony, magnets, marcasite, salt, sulfur, amber, 
dendrites, fossils, the Philosopher's stone, etc. Some of 
these are illustrated on plates XXXV-XXXVI. Volume 2 
deals almost exclusively with shell and bivalve descriptions. 

Giuseppe- Antonio Battarra. (BORN: Coriano, Italy, 

1714; DIED: Rimini, Italy, 1789) Italian cleric & botanist. 
Born to a lower class, Battarra entered the seminary of 
Rimini in 1738 to improve his prospects. After instruction 
from Giovanni Bianchi, in 1741 he was called to teach 
philosophy at Savignano. In 1748, he was transferred to 
Rimini, where he remained.

VERY SCARCE. The first portion of the volume 
comprises a general introduction to mineralogical 
science, focusing on the applied aspects. This 

introductory material is divided into 5 chapters 
that provide overviews on the physical characters, 
crystallography, applying crystallography in species 
determination, chemical qualities, nomenclature and 
classification. The remainder of the book provides a 
descriptive mineralogy of the most common minerals 
and those of economic importance. Complementing this 
section are many fine steel engravings some being of 
actual mineral specimens. These illustrations belong 
to the finest black and white depictions of mineral 
specimens ever produced by none photographic means.

BUSHELL 

BUSHELL, Thomas. (BORN: Cleve Prior, Worcester- 
shire, England, 1594; DIED: April 1674) English mining 
expert. 

Bushell was educated at Baliol College, Oxford. He 
was afterwards in the service of Lord Chancellor Bacon, on 
whose disgrace he retired into Oxfordshire, to reside on his 
estate. He was strongly attached to the royal cause, and 
had the honour to entertain Charles I. and his queen at his 
seat at Road Enstone, near Woodstock, in 1636, when he 
submitted his celebrated water-works to them with much 
pageantry, and many speeches and songs took place. Dr. 
Plot gives a long description of the place. For his services to 
the king he was made Master of the Royal mines in Wales. 
In this new appointment he, by permission, established a 
mint at Aboresky in conjunction with Lord Godolphin, and 
coined money, which he sent to his sovereign at Oxford. 
Their mine yielded at one time one hundred pounds worth 
a week of silver, besides half as much lead.

a portrait and impression of Mr. Bushell's "Golden 
Medal." In the Bookworm (1869), is a very interesting 
notice of these tracts, which leaves no doubt in the mind 
of the writer of the article that Bushell "was the canal 
through which ran the fortunes of Lord Bacon to be 
sunk in unprofitable mining schemes." The article is 
illustrated by an engraving of the Golden Medal.

VERY SCARCE. An early work on geology and 
fossils by a Lutheran pastor near Leipzig. The plates 
show fossils, minerals, and two sections of the earth 
after Kircher. The text concerns the fossil evidence of 
the biblical Deluge. 

First edition, rare, of this study of the fossils of 
Querfurt in Saxony, considered as 'relics of the universal 
deluge'. Büttner (1660-1719) deacon of Querfurt, was a 
theologian and naturalist, and wrote this work in order 
to demonstrate that fossils were the remnants of the 
Flood. 'Büttner... was firmly convinced of the diluvial 
origin of fossils, and was strongly opposed to those 
who attributed these "reliquiae diluvianae" to either the 
"lusus naturae" or the spermatic principle. Büttner, in 
his Treatise on the Deposits which are Evidence of the 
Deluge, refers in surprisingly scurrilous terms to Lhwyd 
and his animalculae' (Melvin E. Jahn and Daniel J. 
Woolf in The Lying Stones of ... Beringer, p. 178).

Niedersachsen, Germany, 5 May 1698; DlED: Helm- 
städt, Germany, 22 April 1746) German Lutherian the- 
ologian & bibliographer. 

Bytemeister began attending the Academy at 
Wittenberg in 1716. In 1725, he became professor of 
theology at the University of Helmstadt. Throughout his 
lifetime, he accumulated a large and varied collection of 
artificial and natural objects, which included minerals.

PLATES: The work contains a engraved frontispiece 
portrait of Byterneister and 28 other engraved plates. The 
frontispiece is actually a smaller picture that has been 
pasted down to the verso of the leave facing the title page, 
and therefore does not constitute a true plate. However, 
it is a finely executed picture of Byterneister within a 
rectangular frame, showing his head and torso. It contains 
the text immediately under the portait, "Henric, Johañes 
Bytemeister | Libb. Artt. Met. Philos. D. Academic | 
Julice Assessor. | Syrn. Ex verbo fides, ex fide salus. | 
ad Rom. C. X. 17. et C. III. 28." The picture is signed 
at the bottom, "Joh. Georg Schmidt sculpsit Brunsvig. 
1734." Plates I— VIII show renderings of artifical items 
such as mechanical apparatus, insturments, scales, looms, 
and other man-made curiosities, while plates IX— XXVIII 
illustrate items thought to be natural. These include 
archological artifacts, corals, dendritic patterns, and fossil 
shells and fish. Each individual illustration is numbered so 
that its picture may be matched with the description in the 
text. The plates are numbered Tab I to Tab XXVIII, with 
Tab XVII folding. All of the plates at the end are signed in a 
fashion similar to Ant. Aug. Beck delin, Io. Georg Schmidt 
sculps. Brunvici. Tab I is dated 1734. 

RARE. Apparently, Byterneister had a large and 
extensive collection of both artifical and natural objects. 
This edition of the collection catalog has been enlarged and 
augmented with further descriptions and 28 fine plates. It 
is divided into two parts. The first covers the artificial 
or man-made objects, including insturments, tools and 
old coins. This portion is further separated into sections 
on arithmatic, geometry, optics, astronomy, economics, 
mechanics, hydralics, physics, money and other curious 
artifical devices. The second part of the work describes 
the natural objects, including fossilized remains of animals 
and plants, minerals, stones, and crystals. At its conclusion 
a short text in German describes various ore specimens. 
Enhancing the text is a fine portrait of Byterneister 
that is utilized as a frontispiece, and 28 engraved plates 
illustrating many of the more interesting items from the 
collection. Plates 1 to 8 picture the artifical items, while 
the remainder show the natural objects.

CALDERÓN Y ARANA, Salvador. (Born: Madrid, 
Spain, 22 September 1851; DlED: Madrid, Spain, 3 July 
1911) Spanish geologist, petrologist & mineralogist. 

Calderón was professor in Las Palmas, but he was 
deported for political reasons. He went back to Madrid, 
where he founded the Institución Libre de Enseñanza. 
After some time spent studying in Geneva, Vienna and 
Munich, he went to Nicaragua, and in that country, 
founded in León, with others, the Instituto de Occidente. 
In 1883, Calderón was commissioned by the Spanish 
government to visit the most important natural history 
museums in Europe, to obtain the criteria by which the 
reform of the Spanish museums should be made. He was a 
teacher of geology in the University of Sevilla and, later, in 
the University of Madrid. Calderón was an expert on the 
geology of the Guadalajara region of Spain and the Canary 
Islands.

SCARCE. Calderón's two volume classic work, 
Los Adinérales de España, is the fundemental work on 
Spanish mineralogy, and even today it is an essential 
source of information. It was the first serious modern 
attempt at a compilation of Spanish mineralogy, and 
follows Groth's classification, describing the minerals 
found in the Peninsula, province to province, together 
with information about the deposits then known or 
supposed. 

Calderón compiled the information from his own 
studies about Spanish minerals, adding historical notes, 
new species and new deposits, because in those years, 
the works of the Spanish institutions related to mining 
and mineralogy (Escuela de Minas de Madrid, Real 
Sociedad Española de Historia Natural) encouraged the 
knowledge of the mineralogy of the country. Calderón's 
work influenced most of the modern works that describe 
the mineralogy of Spain.

tax, and the reduction of some privileges of the nobles and 
clergy. To gain support, Calonne had King Louis XVI call 
an Assembly of Notables, but the Assembly (1787) refused 
to consider Calonnes proposals and criticized him bitterly. 
Dismissed and replaced by Etienne Charles Loménie de 
Brienne, Calonne fled (1787) to England, where he stayed 
until 1802. Many of Calonnes official papers have been 
published and two general works on politics have been 
translated into English, Considerations on the Present and 
Future State of France (1791) and The Political State of 
Europe (1796).

Rare. First and only part published of a proposed 
series describing Calonne's natural history cabinet. 
Prepared by the conchologist GEORGE HUMPHREY, 
Calonne's cabinet surely contained one of the largest 
and best known selection of shells in pre- Revolutionary 
France. This catalog is actually a pre-sale prospectus, 
providing detailed descriptions of 1,439 items. It is 
particularly rich in shell descriptions, but also contains 
particulars of other natual curiosities including some 
minerals. Being the finance minister of France, Calonne 
was in a position before his exile to obtain early 
information about the dispersal of other collector's 
cabinets, as well as the arrival of ships bringing home 
curiosities of the natural world from abroad. He had 
the means to pay premium prices, and in this way, 
Calonne built up a fine natural history collection that 
was world wide in scope. In fact, many of the objects 
were acquired by Calonne from major sales in France 
and England, particularly the dispersal of the cabinets 
of Prince Charles of Lorraine and the DUTCHESS OF 
PORTLAND. At Calonne's sale, many items subsequently 
passed into the collection of James Parkinson [see: 
Organic Remains of a former Worid, 3, 344]. A full 
sale catalog was subsequently published [which see next 
item] but with far less detail.

the 3,037 lots consisted of shells, corals, minerals, 
petrifications, birds, ethnographical objects, and 
"artificial rarities." The sale was held in 1801 across 
the dates, May 25-30, June 1-6, 8-13, 15-20 and 22. In 
addition, a much smaller selection of 59 lots, including 
minerals, was sold by Christie's on July 9, 1803.

Calzolari 



CALZOLARI, Franciscus. (BORN: Verona, Italy, 
1521; DIED: Verona, Italy, 1600) Italian pharmacist & 
naturalist. 

Calzolari was a pharmacist and a citizen of Verona, 
in which he established an extensive museum of natural 
history objects that became famous throughout Europe. 

Francesco Calceolari was a famous pharmacist in 
Verona and had a marvellous natural history collection 
which rivalled those of Aldrovandi, Mercati or Imperato. 
The cabinet is described by a contemporary as follows: 
'a most abundant repository and true treasure of all 
remarkable medicinal things, in which I observed each 
one placed in wonderful order in most decorative and 
elegant compartments and cases. First, (Calzolari) sought 
exceptional herbs and then the rest from their own distant 
places and regions, sent to him as gifts from the greatest 
princes and rulers...' (Daston &c Park, Wonders and the 
order of nature, 1150-1750, p. 154).

Rare. This is a collection of twenty letters, 
written during Camerarius' stay in Italy, while 
attending Prince Frederic-Louis de Württemberg, to 
whom he was personal doctor. Despite great scholarship 
and skepticism towards the work of others, Camerarius 
was an exceptionally credulous man who devoted 
himself zealously to mysticism and the secret arts, 
including alchemy. He opposed innovation and progress 
and was especially hostile to the iatrophysical methods 
then being developed for the treatment of disease. 
Among the letters published in this work is said to be 
one that annotates the geological theories on the origin 
of minerals and the earth of JOHN WOODWARD, which 
was reissued in some editions of Woodward's geological 
books.

CANFIELD, Frederick Alexander. (Born: 7 April 
1849; DIED: Dover, New Jersey, U.S.A., 3 July 1926) 
American mining engineer & mineral collector. 

Canfield grew up in an environment surrounded by 
minerals. His father, Frederick Canfield, had gathered 
together a choice selection of minerals of the Franklin zinc 
mines and the son preserved them in their original cases 
has his father had originally arranged them in 1856. Both 
father and son were mining men, and their home was built 
in the midst of the iron mines. 

After the death of his father in 1865, Canfield began 
his own collection of minerals and continued to add to it 
throughout his lifetime. Early on he specialized in the 
minerals of New Jersey, particularly those of the more 
prolific localities like Franklin and the zeolites of Bergen

Hill and Paterson. Here were contained specimens of 
franklinite and gahnite as sharp octahedra measuring 5 
inches on the edge. Besides his unique and rich suites of 
local minerals, Canfield's collection became a general one 
and ultimately grew to between 8,000 and 9,000 specimens. 
These he selected with great care and they were catalogued 
and labeled with great accuracy. Special attention should 
be given to the specimens he collected in Bolivia in 1885- 
7, including a rough single crystal of argyrodite 6 inches 
across and weighing 14 lb. Canfield bequeathed his mineral 
collection to the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION together with an 
endowment of $50,000 to insure its care and continued 
growth. There it remains intact today. Few private 
collections have exceeded it completeness of fine quality 
of the its individual specimens. As regards the suites of 
minerals from its native state it was unmatched, and as 
a primary source of material it was used extensively by 
Charles Palache [1869-1954] in his famous monograph of 
the Franklin deposit which appeared in 1935.

published this accumulation, which in many instances 
is the only reference that a particular collection even 
existed.

Copenhagen in 1747, he opened a successful shop. In 
1756 until his death he held the position of apothecary 
to the Königlichen Frederiks Hospitals. He built a large 
collection of natural history objects which was auctioned 
after his death. Some of the minerals were purchased by 
the University of Copenhagen.

magnifying glass, Cappeller concluded that a finite 
set of basic crystal forms existed. These he defined 
as the equivilent of dendritic, polyhedral, prismatic, 
pyramidal, rounded, cylinderical, boytroidal and crust- 
like. Any stone, salt, metal or earth he examined 
could be classified under one of these forms. However, 
since the author also believed the manner of origin 
affected a substances' crystal shape, the same mineral 
theoretically might appear in more than one category. 
Although Cappeller misinterpreted physical form as the 
equivalent of crystal form, his attempt at systematic 
mineral description was better than any other of the 
period because it emphasised crystal shape as the 
primary distinguishing characteristic.

from Prodromous Crystallographies (Lucernas, 1723). The 
original edition was the first work ever to use the word 
"crystallography" in a modern sense. The introduction 
to this translation gives biographical details of Cappeller 
and some historical information about the Prodromous. 
The Latin text is then given, followed by reproductions

CARAFA, Giovanni, Duca di Noja. (BORN: Naples, 
Italy, 1715; DIED: Naples, Italy, 1768) Italian Duke. 

In his youth, Carafa studied grammar and literature, 
learning how to write elegant Italian. His interests turned 
to scientific matters, especially mathematics. Through the 
use of private tutors, he advanced to the University level. 
In 17.S», he was named a reader in optics and mathematics 
at the University of Naples. While there, he became 
interested in the natural sciences especially mineralogy, 
geology and botany. He began collecting in these area, 
creating an extraordinary garden at his Naples estate. In 
1743, Carafa entered the military, and was rewarded for his 
valor by royal appointments to civil service positions. From 
1750 to 1760, he made extensive trips throughout Europe 
and Russia, meeting many of the great scientists of the day.

including one of the earliest written descriptions of 
the pyroelectricity property of the mineral. During a 
trip to Paris in 1759, Carafa witnessed experiments

tourmaline. By heating the mineral a weak electrical 
field is generated. This field manifests itself in the 
heated stone by attracting small bits of paper and ash 
to it like a magnet. On his return to Italy in September, 
1759 Carafa repeated the experiments he had witnessed 
at the Società Colombaria in Florence, and this short 
monograph records the results of that demonstration 
in the form of a letter to Count Buffon. Aepinus 
thought the work of enough merit that he reprints it 
with commentary in his Recueil des Différents Mémoires 
sur la Tourmaline (St. Petersburg, 1762). 

Some libraries list this work under an author 
heading of Noya Carafa, Duke de, pseud, [i.e., Michel 
Adanson]; however this is incorrect. According to the 
Dizionario Biograñco Italian!, Duke de Noya Carafa 
actually lived and authored this book.

Cardano 

CARDANO, Girolamo. (Born: Pavia, Italy, 24 
September 1501; DIED: Rome, Italy, 20 September 
1576) Italian physician, mathematician & astrologer. 

Cardano was educated at the University of Padua, 
and became a public lecturer in geometry at Milan in 
1534. In 1559, he was appointed professor of medicine at 
Pavia and then Bologna in 1562. Cardano was arrested for 
heresy or debt or both in 1570. Afterwards he moved to 
Rome, where in 1571 he was pensioned by Pope Pius V. 
Cardano was a self promoter, claiming more than was true 
when he took credit for the cubic solution discovered by 
Nicolò Tartaglia. During his life, however, he authored over 
100 books on mathematics, medicine, physics, philosophy, 
religion and music. For his mathematical innovations, "he 
is justly considered the originator of the theory of algebraic 
equations." (DSB). Cardano was also the first to write on 
mathematical probability.

Rare. Cardano's famous and often reprinted 
work, De Subtilitate [=The Subtlety] represented the 
most advanced presentation of physical knowledge up 
to its time, eclipsing the ancient works of Pliny and Al- 
bertus Magnus. It was highly influential, though not 
always stated, in directing scientific thought during the 
late Renaissance. In fact, the Italian philosopher and 
scholar Julius Caesar Scaliger [1484-1558] was disturbed 
enough by its content that he violently criticized De 
Subtilitate in his Exotericarvm Exercitationvm (Paris, 
1557, and later editions), which was answered by Car- 
dano in the 1560 Basel edition of De Subtilitate. 

Essentially an encyclopedia, in De Su b tili ta te one 
can find some article on almost every subject, including 
substantial sections on technology, medicine, chemistry, 
mathematics, various branches of the occult, mineral- 
ogy, gemology, hydrodynamics, geology, electricity, etc, 
and descriptions of numerous experiments and appara- 
tus, including the pumps and the screw of Archimedes 
and a system of Braille writing for the blind. It is 
thought by some to be based on the manuscript notes 
of Leonardo Da Vinci; however, it is more probably the 
sole work of Cardano's penetrating but erratic genius. 
The text also incorporates many woodcut illustrations 
which add considerably to the descriptions. 

Cardano organized his text along the same princi- 
ple used in the arrangement of the writings of Aristotle, 
dividing the work into twenty-one long books. The first 
twelve deal with the physical world, beginning with the 
principles and elements, air, light, proceeding to inan- 
imate objects like metals, stones, plants, then to ani- 
mals, and concluding with a discussion of man. The 



subsequent nine books describe the immaterial world, 
again in ascending order, starting with the senses, ac- 
tivities of the intellect and concluding with the spiritual 
powers, demons, angels, and finally God. The writing 
style is sometimes clear, sometimes torturous, and in 
some cases impossible to understand, which provides a 
rambling dialog in the descriptions. 

Of concern to mineralogy are principally book 6 
(metals) and book 7 (stones). Cardano shows a mod- 
ified Aristotelian idea of the physical world by omit- 
ting fire and accepting only three elements: earth, air 
and water. Repeating the facts and fantasies of the an- 
cients, Cardano believed bodies found with in the earth 
were divided into four genera: earths, juices, stones and 
metals. Various actions of heat on mixtures of these 
substances gave rise to all stones, minerals and metals. 
Thus, clay and minum are grouped in the earths and di- 
amonds, onyx, marble, jasper and quartz are considered 
stones. The seven metals grow in the earth from seed 
and are thought to have life. They are also each associ- 
ated with one or more planets. Cardano also attempts 
without much success to represent the hexagonal form 
of quartz by close packing of spherical particles.

Browne noted of Scaliger's criticisms, "If Cardan saith that 
a Parrot is a beautiful Bird, Scaliger will set his Wits 
o'work to prove it is a deformed Animal."

SCARCE. The French translation of Cardano's De 
Subtilitate was undertaken by Richard Le Blanc [1510?- 
1574?] on behalf of his patron Marguerite de France, 
Duchesse de Berry, the sister of Henri II, to whom it is 
dedicated. Oddly, she did not finance the publication, this 
was done instead the speculative venture was financed by 
four publishers, who shared the high printing costs of this 
densely illustrated volume. It was probably produced in 
the standard print run of 1,200 copies, and protected by a 
ten-year privilege. This first printing seems to have sold 
well, which explains the renewed publication in 1566, using 
the same plates, and another decade for the reprinting of 
the 1578 edition. This reprinting seems not to have been 
as successful, because the sheets of the 1578 were reissued 
with a new title page in 1584.

SCARCE. Apparently a combined translation of both 
of Cardano's chief works, De Subtilitate (1550), in an 
abridged text, and De Rervm Varietate (1557). Tin/ 
translation was provided by Heinrich Pantaleon [1522- 
1595], professor of medicine at Basel university, and 
dedicated to the bishop of Basel. This was done to 
ensure the publication of the work of an author who was 
persecuted by the church and hardly printed in Italy.

on the title page. Page SIZE: 313 x 200 mm. 

CONTENTS: [1 pg], Title page.; [1 pg], "Privilegivm 
Christianissimi | Galliarvm Regis."; [8 pgs], Dedication.; 
[2 pgs], "Tabvla Liborvm XVIII." (=table of contents).; 1- 
690, Text.; 691-707, "Appendix."; [1 pg], Blank.; [31 pgs], 
"Rervm Ac Senten | tiarvm Index Exactissimus." ; [1 pg], 
Colophon: "[ornament] Basileœ, Per | Henrichvm Petri, | 
Anno M.D.LVII." 

Rare. The De nerum Vãrietate [=The Diverse 
Facts] can be viewed as a supplement to the great 
encyclopedia, De Subtilitate. It was published by Henri 
Petri [see note below], who became Cardano's publisher 
in 1554. It contains materials which Cardano had 
gathered as supporting evidence to the ideas presented 
in the popular De Subtilitate, but because of space 
could not be included in its text. De nerum Varietate, 
organized in 17 books, fleshes out the ideas about 
the natural, man-made and spiritual world presented 
in the 21 books of De Subtilitate with concrete and 
specific examples. Thus, the work forms a sequel to De 
Subtilitate, and, together with it, the 38 books contain 
Cardano's observations and ideas about many topics of 
nature, mankind and theology. 

Henri Petri. (BORN: Nuremberg, Germany, ; DIED: 

1579) German publisher & printer. Petri was the son of the 
Adam Petri [1454-1527], a successful printer in Nuremberg. 
He was a highly learned, shrewd and productive publisher, 
and it is reported that he visited the Frankfurt Book Fair 
more than a 100 times during his lifetime.

2 parts in one volume. [Part 1] 4 o : 0.-Ô 4 £ 6 AA-

blank, 278 p. [Part 2] 4°: tt-y 4 Ô 6 a-z 4 A-Z 4 aa-ff 4 ; 
225/.; [36], 413, [1] p. Part 2, containing the De Libris 
Propriis has a special title page. 

Rare. This is Cardano's extensive treatise 
on sleep and dreams, the most important such 
interpretation of the 16th century. This work is 
designed as an explanation of the De Somniis by the 
famous neo-platonic philosopher Synesius of Cyrenne, 
and was based upon the writings of Artemidorus which 
he developed and elaborated. The second portion of the 
volume contains most of Cardano's other philosophical 
writings, including the chapters dealing with gemstones 
and color. The most important of these is the De 
Libris Propriis in defense of all his doctrines which had 
been attacked on the ground of heterodoxy and magical 
leanings. The Encomium Geometriae and De Secretis 
deal with physics and alchemy. The Dialogus de Morte 
relates the death of an English boy whose education 



was entrusted to Cardano who felt responsible for his 
death. There are other dissertations on astrology and 
a vindication of Emperor Nero. There are some shorter 
tracts of biobibliographical interest.

VERY SCARCE. In his capacity as general manager 
of mines, Carosi carried out between 1778-1780 an 
exploration of the Southwest regions of Poland. He 
published the results of this, his most important work 
in two volumes, Reisen durch verschiedene polnische 
Provinzen mineralischen und anderen Inhalts (Leipzig 
1781-1784). One of the goals of this expedition was to 
locate a source or sources for mining salt. The saltworks 
of Wieliczka and Bochnia had been lost to Austria 
and the state required a new saltworks which could 
replace it. Carosi also provides invaluable information 
on the copper, iron, and black lead deposits that he 
had visited. He also gives some information on mines of 
the adjacent regions of Kielce and Ch§ciny. Carosi also 
gives a lists of minerals collected, which he thoroughly 
describes according to the "method of Werner" .

CARTHEUSER, Friedrich August. (Born: Halle, 
Germany, 1734; DlED: Schierstein, Germany, 12 
December 1796) German geologist & mineralogist. 

Son of the German physician and apothecary, Johann 
Freidrich Cartheuser [1704-1777], Friedrich August was 
trained in the medical profession, but devoted himself 
to natural history and especially mineralogy and geology. 
Between 1754-66, he was a Docent in mineralogy, botany 
and chemistry at the University of Frankfurt an der Oder. 
Then he was named professor of natural studies at the 
University of Giessen. He became an advisor on mining 
and geological matters to the government.

Rare. This work describes the basis of 

Cartheuser's system of classification in mineralogy. 
It was innovative for its time in separating the 
petrifications and figured stones into a separate class 
of object away from true minerals. The system 
described contained the seven principle divisions of (1) 
Terree, which separated those substances that could be 
dissolved in water and those that could not, (2) Lapides, 
(3) Salia, including alkali and acid, (4) Inflammabilia, 
(5) Semimetalla, (6) Metalla, and (7) Heteromorpha, 
containing petrifications, fossils and figured stones.

natural magic. He adds a section on earthly questions — 
the location of the terrestrial paradise, whether there 
are springs on the highest mountains, herbs, metals, and 
stones, and other natural phenomena. "It would appear 
that there is more nature than magic in Castrillo's 
book ... But he might answer that natural mague is 
more concerned with nature than other sciences are"

Rare. A sale catalog describing a rich collection 
of natural history and rnanmade objects. Included in 
the selections are preserved specimens of fish, reptiles 
and small animals, a large selection of shells, fossils, 
agates, stalactites, crystallizations, various examples 
of decorative marble, bronzes from India and Egypt, 



weapons, etc. Although the title only attributes the 
collection to a M. D***, Dezallier d'Argenville in a 
contemporary list of the shell collectors published in 
his Conchyliologie, 3rd édition (Paris, 1767, p. 321), 
lists in the town of Rouen a collector by the name of De 
La Fosse, and there is some indication that this is the 
sale catalog of his collection.

Catullo 

CATULLO, Tommaso Antonio. (Born: Belluno, 
Italy, July 9 1782; DIED: Padua, Italy, 13 April 1869) 
Italian physician, naturalist & mineralogist. 

Trained in the medical profession, Catullo was 
appointed in 1811 an instructor of natural history and 
chemistry at Belluno, followed in 1815 at Verona and in 
1822 at Venice. Soon thereafter, he was appointed a 
professor in the same subjects at the University of Padua. 
He held membership in the Società Italiana.

Italian physicist & acoustic expert. 

Cavallo emigrated to England in 1771, where he 
became generally interested in the science of physics, but 
became particularly interested in the study of electrical 
phenomen. Cavallo 's studies in this field culminated in the 
publication of his most important work, A Complete Treatise 
on Electricity in Theory and Practice (1st ed., London, 
1777). He also published many other works on physical 
phenomena, including magnetism, fluid and gas mechanics, 
and musical sounds. Cavallo was elected a Fellow of the 
Royal Society in 1779.

Rare. Co-authored with Andrea Chiocco [see 
note below]. FRANCESCO Calzolar.I, a wealthy 

Veronese pharmacist, created toward the end of the 
16th century, one of the earliest natural history 
collections, both competing and collaborating with his 
colleagues and rival collectors ULISSE Aldrovandi in 
Bologna and MICHELE Mercati in Rome. Calzolari's 
collection was first described in 1584 by GIOVANNI 
Battista OLIVA of Cremona, but it was his grandson, 
Francesco junior, who inherited the accumulation, and 
added to it, that history is indebted to for this 
authoritative account of the collection. It was the heir 
that hired the two physicians, Ceruti and Chiocco to 
catalog the museum. 

Francesco Calzolari senior was a native of Verona. 
After studying under the naturalist Luca Ghini [1500— 
1556], he went on to the University of Padua where he 
learned the preparation of pharmaceutical prescriptions 
using various plant, animal, and mineral substances. He 
was an excellent student, and eventually left school to 
open in the main square of Verona his own shop, called 
"The Golden Bell." 

In order to stock his shop with raw materials, 
Calzolari would walk the mountains and valleys of the 
surrounding area in order to collect plants, minerals 
and animals. Soon he was driven by a fascination with 
natural history, and he worked through dealers and 
travellers to acquire all sorts of herbs, fruits, animals, 
birds, minerals and fossils from throghout Europe and 
Asia Minor. These specimens he added to a growing 
collection displayed in a special room at the rear of his 
pharmaceutical shop. Contemporary accounts indicate 
that each specimen was accompanied by a detailed 
label. As the nature of Calzolari's museum became 



known, a steady stream of physicians, naturalists, 
friends, and curiosity seekers began to visit. Eventually 
the fame of "The Golden Bell" spread throughout 
Europe, and it became a site to visit when travelling 
through Verona. 

Ceruto and Chiocco's catalog preserve a record 
of the museum at its height. The exhibit room is 
beautifully illustrated in the folding frontispiece. It 
shows a room lined with nicely crafted open shelves 
above a series of drawers at waist level. Underneath 
the drawers are stored various urns and vases, while 
stuffed birds rest on top of the shelves. From the 
ceiling are hung numerous preserved animals, including 
snakes, fish, lizards, a porcupine, and apparently 
a human head(!). Many items that were typical 
fare of ' Wunder karnmer' of the period are present in 
Calzolari's museum. The strength of the collection lay 
in the numerous botanical and mineralogical specimens, 
some of which are illustrated on the finely engraved 
plates. Within the section on minerals and fossils is 
the first publication of Girolamo Fracastoro's [1483— 
1553] idea proposed in 1517 that fossils originated 
from once living animals. There creation being 
caused by the changing positions of land and sea. 
The catalog ends with a description of the library 
and gallery of paintings of famous doctors, botanists, 
philosophers, and mathematicians. In the 1640's the 
collection was sold off, part going to a Veronese 
pharmacist named Mario Sala, and part being acquired 
by LODOVICO MOSCARDO and incorporated into his own 
large collection. 

The museum was divided into several sections: 
(1) corals, (2) clays and earths, (3) crystal— lined 
géodes, amethyst, fluorite, diamond, opal, cat's— eye, 
emerald, topaz, malachite, jasper, beryl, sapphire, lapis 
lazuli, turquoise, ruby, garnet, chalcedony, sardonyx, 
carnelian, agate, magnetite, hematite, dolomite, 
gypsum, and some fossils, (4) gold, silver, cinnabar, 
copper, and iron minerals, antimony minerals, coal, 
talc, alum, cassiterite and others, (5) the herbarium, 
and (6) preserved animals, birds and snakes, including 
a supposed horn of a unicorn.

CESALPINO, Andrea. (BORN: Tuscany, Italy, 6 June 
1519; DIED: Rome, Italy, 23 February 1603) Italian 
physician. 

Cesalpino was physician to Pope Clement VIII. He 
made original contributions to the fields of physiology, 
botany, geology and chemistry, and his theory on the 
circulation of the blood anticipated William Harvey's 
[1578—1657] in important ways. Cesalpino's De Plantis 
(Florentise, 1583) laid out principles of arrangement and 
classification of botany that were developed through 
Joachim Jung and John Ray into the system designed by 
Linneaus.

RARE. Cesalpino's last work, dedicated to his 
major patron, Pope Clement VII. It is a famous 
compendium on metals and minerals by a remarkable 
Renaissance scientist celebrated for achievements in 
several branches of science. It was written as a 
companion to the author's famous botanical work, De 
Plantis (Florentige, 1583), and was intended to extend 
his visionary theory of botanical classification to the 
mineral kingdom. In addition, at the end of the 16th 
century, Michèle Mercati had begun to classify and 
catalog the metallic specimens held in the Vatican's 
mineralogical collection, but died before the manuscript 
was published. Cesalpino had been Mercati's teacher, 
and after the later's premature death, succeeded him 
as papal physician in Rome where he researched the 
De Metallicis. Cesalpino intended his treatise to 
supplement Mercati's work by not only describing

Cesàro 



metals but also focusing on the papal collection of gems 
and marbles. 

Cesalpino divides his work into 3 major sections. 
Book I deals with the genesis of minerals and sketches 
a theory of classification according to their admixtures 
of the four elements. Book II treats limestone, marble, 
precious stones, crystals and salts, and the processes 
by which crystallization gives minerals their regular 
form, while Book III is devoted to metals and mining. 
Throughout the author provides commentary from 
ancient and contemporary sources, together with his 
own insightful observations. 

De Metallicis is an important book for giving an 
early recognition to the true organic nature of fossils, 
the phenomenon of crystallization, speculating on the 
existence of oxygen and observing that gases have 
weight. In addition, along with GEORG Agr.ICOLA's 
De Re Metallica (1st ed., Basel, 1556), this work 
provided scholarly background for William Gilbert's De 
Magnete (1st ed., London, 1600). A whole chapter is 
devoted to the magnet, and there is material on the 
increase of weight on the calcination of lead, which 
foreshadowed the famous experiments on oxidation in 
the 18th century. 

De Metallicis is also of interest, however, as a 
compendium of fantastic lore culled from ancient and 
contemporary sources: "Not only do we hear of a 
lynx stone near Naples that bears mushrooms, which 
Cesalpino regards as a great marvel but which may 
be a fact, but we have the gem jasper suspended as 
an amulet or are regaled with the virtues of bezaar or 
bezoar stones. One from Persia that grows in goats is 
tested in this wise. They smear a thread with poison 
such as the juice of a white hellebore and draw it with 
a needle through the foot of a dog or other part of 
an animal, leaving the thread in the wound. When 
symptoms of poisoning aggravate, they bring the stone 
near, and if it is genuine, the animal feels relief from 
that remedy ... " (Thorndike).

CESARO, Giuseppe Raimondo Pio. (Born: Naples, 
Italy, 6 September 1849; DIED: Liège, Belgium, 20 
January 1939) Italian mineralogist & crystallographer. 

Cesàro was the brother of the distinguished 
mathematician Ernesto (??—??). Although he began by 
studing engineering, Cesàro early abandoned this field, 
and began to search for his true vocation. Ultimately 
he discovered mineralogy, and it was the pursuit of this 
science that became his profession. He eventually found an 
appointment in Belgium where he worked as assistant to 
the mineralogist Gustav Dewalque [q.v.] at the University 
of Liège. Upon Dewalque's retirement in 1891, Cesàro was 
appointed professor of mineralogy and crystallography. In 
1919, he was nominated as director of the mineralogical 
museum in Liège. Among his publications, Cesàro authored 
many papers usually published in the journals of various 
Belgium Scientific Societies centered around describing the 
minerals of Vesuvius, Italy and Belgium, as well as the 
forms of calcite.

CESI, Bernardo (Federico). (Born: Mantua, Italy, 
1581; DIED: Modena, Italy, 4 September 1630) Italian 
Jesuit & naturalist. 

Cesi was professor of philosophy, theology and morals 
first at the University of Parma, then later at Modena. He 
died during an outbreak of the plague. He may have been 
related to an illustrious and powerful Italian family of the 
time. They had several members rise to the highest ranks 
of the Catholic church during the 16th and 17th centuries.

VERY SCARCE. Compendium of all the author ever 
discovered or read about the subject of mineralogy. It 
was published posthumously from notes he left by his 
Order at Lyon six years after his death. Printed in 
a double column format in a relatively small type-size, 
the work is a vast storehouse of all things rnineralogical, 
including new ideas, restatements of earlier authors, 
observations and superstitious belief. The uncritical 
selection of material lead Webster in his Metallographia 
(London, 1671, p. 29) to criticize the author as 
too digressive and as mixing tares with the wheat. 
Partington thinks the use of the term "Mineralogia" 
in the title is the first modern usage of the word. 

The work opens by listing the evils and benefits of 
mineralogy. Mining is considered dangerous because of 
the lurking underground spirits. Mining also destroys 
fields and forests. So asks Cesi, why destroy mother 
Earth? The evil consequences from riches, iron weapons 
and especially gold are described, with much poetical 
quotation in the case of gold and silver. However, the 
author notes that the study of mineralogy helps one 
to understand the bible. It provides medicines and

Chambón 



money, ornaments for religious purposes, tools used in 
agriculture, industry, painting, music and alchemy. Cesi 
then answers the question he posed earlier and declares 
mineralogy to be a true philosophy, worthy of careful 
study. 

The numerous citations to earlier authors provide 
evidence of Cesi's wide reading. Commonly, many 
authors are referenced on single points. For example, 
in describing the generation of minerals he closely 
follows Aristotle but also cites Theophrastus, Avicenna, 
Albertus Magnus, Agrícola, Gregorius Reisch, Pliny, 
Boodt, Francis Rueus, Marbode, the Bible, and 
numerous church fathers. The author is uncritical of 
the views he presents, and accepts the authority of 
the ancient and medieval authors as his own. He 
believes that the Sun, Moon and stars influence the 
subterranean world of minerals and metals, and that 
gems have miraculous curative powers. He includes a 
chapter on the magnet, and although widely read, omits 
to mention Gilbert's De Magnete published in 1600. 
As one progresses throughout the volume, citations to 
references become less frequent, perhaps indicating the 
author was still preparing the manuscript when death 
unexpectedly occurred. 

Cesi divides his work into five sections: the first, 
treats mineralogy proper, the second the economic and 
commercial aspects, for example colors and pigments, 
the third, lapidifying juices of the earth that congeal 
into minerals, the fourth gems and the fifth metals. At 
the conclusion is a long and thankfully comprehensive 
index. Much insight about ancient philosophy and its 
affect in the 17th century can be gained from studying 
Cesi's Mineralogia but one must sift through a large 
amount of superfluous information to reach those gems.

CHAMBÓN, Joseph. (BORN: Grignon, Provence, 
France, 1647; DIED: Grignon, Provence, France, cl732) 
French physician. 

Chambón was a physician on the faculty at Aignon. 
Later he opened a practice in Marseilles, but traveled 
to Poland to become physician to King Sobiebsky. He 
remained until the siege of Vienna, when he returned to 
France by way of Holland and England. Chambón retired 
to Grignon, where he lived with a brother.

VERY SCARCE. Chambon's text deals with the 
medical uses of mineral substances, especially the 
preparation of remedies. Information on the properties 
and uses of minerals, other than medical, of many 
substances like borax, alum, nitre, coffee, chocolate, 
tea, tobacco, teeth, etc. are also discussed. A chapter 
on gout and remedies to help reduce the inflammation 
is also included. 

Other issues fc editions: Based on entries in other 
bibliographies, the original text appears to have been 
reissued several times. However, existence of some of these 
books has not been confirmed. The Wellcome Catalogue, (2, 
p. 324) lists an issue: Paris, C. Jombert 1750 (10 [11?]11., 
547 p., 211.). A reported "Second Edition" of 1780 with 
reportedly the same pagination as the 1714 appearance 
is also likely to be a reprint, but no actual copy of this 
edition has been located. Nicolas Gobet in his Les Anciens 
Minéralogistes du Royaume de France (Paris, 1779) reprints 
parts of Chambon's text.

CHAPMAN, Edward John. (Born: Kent, England, 
1821; DIED: Hampton Wick, near London, England, 28 
January 1904) English and Canadian mineralogist & 
geologist. 

Chapman was educated in civil engineering in France 
and Germany. He received a Ph.D. from Göttingen in 
1862 and an LL.D. from Queen's University, Kingston 
in 1867. He was professor of mineralogy in University 
College, London from 1850 to 1853. In 1853 he went to 
Canada to become the first professor of mineralogy and 
geology at University College, Toronto. He held that post 
until 1898 when he retired and subsequently returned to 
England. From 1883, Chapman was a charter member of 
the Royal Society of Canada. Besides many books and 
papers concerned with geology and mineralogy, he also 
authored a volume of poetry, A Song of Charity (1st ed., 
Toronto, 1857; 2nd ed., London, 1858).

VERY RARE. This uncommon textbook is a manual 
of mineralogy designed for practical field work, and 
it is aimed towards students, prospectors and mine 
operators so that they might determine through field 
analysis the name of an unknown mineral. The 
text is divided into three major chapters: I. The 
distinctive characters of minerals. II. An artificial 
arrangement of simple minerals based on chemical and 
blowpipe characteristics (i.e. a combination of the 
classification systems of Mohs, Beudant and Berzelius). 
III. A natural arrangement of simple minerals. At the 
conclusion is a long index that was written to form a 
complete table of synonyms for all English, German, 
and French authors.

VERY SCARCE. Apart from certain questions 
bearing more or less directly on the subject, the present 
Essay concerns itself entirely with the Classification 
of Minerals. It is not intended to serve in any way 
as an introduction to the actual study of Mineralogy: 
nor, indeed, can its argument be properly understood 
except by those who have already some knowledge of the 
subject to which it refers. It is published as a protest 
against the system of classification now so greatly in 
vogue, by which Mineralogy is practically dethroned 
as a natural science; and secondly, in the hope that 
it may induce some of our younger workers in this field 
of research to develop, sooner or later, a truly natural 
system that may be acceptable to all. The writer's own 
day has gone by for this. The inevitable "Thus far and 
no farther" that awaits the coming years of all, is, in 
his case wellnigh reached. In his discussion of past and 
present classifications, he is constrained, it will be seen, 
to differ somewhat widely from the views and opinions 
of others: but, in contesting these views, he has striven 
to do so without undue discourtesy. — Preface.

Charleton 



Rare. Auction sale catalog of a royal mineral 
collection. Housed at his residence in Bruxelles, the 
collection contained minerals, fossils, petrifactions, and 
numbered 4,480 mineral and rock specimens, including 
650 copper species, 354 gold specimens, and 257 
examples of lead ores. Sold in 1781, a portion became 
the nucleus of the Belgian Institute of Natural History 
in Bruxelles.

Charleton 

CHARLETON, Walther. (Born: Shepton Mallet, 
Somerset, England, 13 February 1619; DIED: London, 
England, 6 May 1707) English physician & naturalist. 

Charleton received early education at home. He 
entered Oxford University, 1635; awarded degree of doctor 
of physick, 1643; considered an extraordinary genius during 
his lifetime, he turned his talents to writing about a variety 
of subjects including Stonehenge, Epicurean ethics, and 
medical topics; his importance as a scientist rests on "his 
role as expositor of the atomic philosphy in a period during 
which its reception as a viable doctrine was in doubt" 
(DSB); original founding member of the Royal Society of 
London; member of Royal College of Physicians, 1676.

VERY SCARCE. Onomasticon Zoicon, the title of 
this important and celebrated natural history classic 
means a dictionary of living things. It is a work of 
natural taxonomy, and Charleton gives the English, 
Latin and Greek names of all manner of natural things. 
It is the first English book to provide illustrations of 
the English birds it describes. In addition to listings of 
quadrupeds, insects, birds and fish, the text includes in 
the third and final section an early and important list 
of fossils. 

In Charleton's time, fossil referred to anything 
dug from the earth, and consequently many of the

descriptions are of minerals and precious stones. 
Among those fossils listed are fossilized fish and shells, 
agate, chalcedony, sardonyx, diamond, bezoar stone, 
carbuncle, garnet, sapphire, emerald, gold, silver, 
copper, tin, iron. Under a heading of mixed metals 
mention is made of galena, pyrite, chrysocholla, minum, 
and various lead spars.

VERY SCARCE. Second edition, substantially enlarged, 
with much of the work new and in every part improved 
and additionally illustrated. The change to the larger folio 
size from the quarto of the 1668 edition provided more 
descriptive space for Charleton and he makes good use of 
it. This is a truly splendid volume. The text flows along 
the lines of the earlier edition, but with the addition of 
an appendix, 'Colorum Differentiis et Nominibus.' This 
remarkable section which only appears in this edition, 
classifies various shades of colors by their English and Latin 
names. For example, there are 11 shades of white, 18 of 
yellow and 16 of red.

VERY SCARCE. A classic text in the early geological 
literature of Germany. The Mineralogische Geographie 
gives an excellent description of the veins and other 
mineral occurrences of Saxony and some of the adjacent 
areas, and in the last few pages of the book the question 
of the probable origin of the ores is discussed. It is an 
admirable presentation of the facts gathered during the 
author's long years of mining experience. He considers 
in succession those facts which have a definite bearing 
on the question of the genesis of the ore deposits, and, 
based on them, he offers an explanation of their origin, 
which, he says, cannot be considered as more than a 
conjecture but which he believes represents the closest 
approximation to the truth attainable at that time. 

Next to G. Gläser and the map that appeared in 
his Versuch einer mineralogischen Beschreibung (1775) 
the map of Saxony in Charpentier's book is the earliest 
colored geological map of Germany. He uses eight tints 
to distinguish granite, gneiss, schist, limestone, gypsum, 
sandstone, river sand, clay and loam. He uses symbols 
to show the location of basalt, serpentine, etc.

Chenevix 



CHENEVIX, Richard. (BORN: Ballycommon, near 
Dublin, Ireland, 1774; DIED: Paris, France, 5 April 
1830) Irish chemist & mineralogist. 

Of Huguenot ancestry, Chenevix was educated at 
the University of Glasgow. Soon thereafter, in 1801, 
he published an analysis of a new variety of lead 
ore [=anglesite] and of various arsenates of copper. 
The publication of Remaries upon Chemical Nomenclature. 
According to the Principles of the French Neologists (London, 
1802) built him a reputation as an expert in the field. In 
this same time, he also built a reputation for viciously 
attacking the German school of Naturphilosophie, which 
won him some enemies. In 1803, an anonymous handbill 
was circulated among British scientists. It announced 
the discovery of a new chemical element called palladium. 
Chenevix, believing the substance to be a complex alloy 
purchased the entire stock and began experimenting. 
Subsequently, he reported to the Royal Society that 
palladium was simply a mixture of platinum and mercury. 
Soon after, Wollaston announced himself the author of the 
handbill and discoverer of two new elements, palladium 
and rhodium. After it was shown that these were infact 
new elements, Chenevix's reputation was badly damaged. 
Subsequently, he emmigrated to France, where he became 
a disciple of Haüy. In later years, Chenevix wrote several 
novels, plays, and books of poems. He was a Fellow of the 
Royal Society of London.

VERY SCARCE. First separate edition. Originally 
published as "Suite des Réflexions sur quelques 
méthodes minéralogiques," in the Annales de Chemie 
[see: 65 (1808), pp. 225—276], when Chenevix returned 
to England he was asked to prepare a translation. He 
declined, but offered assistance to anyone that would be 
willing to persue the work. A member of the Geological 
Society [who??] took up the challange, and work on 
the translation began. However, about the time the 
manuscript was ready for the press, another translation 
began appearing in serialized form in the Philosophical 
Magazine [see: ?? (18??) pp. ???-???]. This almost 
derailed the publication of the Observations, but it was 
decided that the other translation was inadequate, and 
so publication proceeded, although it would appear that 
not many copies were printed. 

The text takes the form of a point/counter-point 
discussion of the merits between the mineralogical 
theories of Haüy and Werner. Although purporting to 
be objective in its discussion, Chenevix is prejudiced to 
the Haiiyian view of mineralogy. An additional section 
has been included where Chenevix rebutts the criticisms 
of D'Aubuisson, a Werner disciple, against the original 
article.

SCARCE. A valuable compilation to the history 
of mineralogical nomenclature. Besides describing the 
difficulties in compiling a work of this type, Chester in 
the introduction provides a highly interesting essay on 
the history of mineralogical names. The long lists of 
corresponents and cited references reflect the careful, 
patient labor the author exercised in compiling this 
book, the most comprehensive history of the names 
of minerals ever published. The text lists in an 
alphabetical sequence nearly five thousand names that 
have been applied to minerals. Included are minerals 
still considered actual species, as well as those that 
are varieties or that have through history become 
discredited or had the priority for their name, given to 
another researcher. All except about one hundred and 
fifty entries contain a complete reference to the original 
authority and a derivation of the the names meaning. 
At the conclusion of the text there is a very useful index 
to the various mineralogists that have named minerals 
contained within the body.

History 



Childrey 



Chiarugi received his medical degree from the 
University of Pisa in 1780. He practiced medicine in 
Florence, becoming the personal physician to Achispedoli 
of St. Maria Nuova. In 1785, he was appointed director of 
a new mental hospital recently built in Florence. He was 
named professor of skin and mental diseases of Santa Maria 
Nuova in 1802, becoming superintendent in 1818. Chiarugi 
is considered the father of Italian clinical psychiatry. He 
was the first in Europe to stop using chains and fetters in 
treating the insane, instead developing new methods and 
reforming the old methods.

Rare. Although this title was published 

anonymously, it is generally attributed to be the work of 
Chiarugi. It is a treatise of mineralogical classification 
designed for use by the late eighteenth century collector 
of minerals. The text is based upon the natural history 
method, then prevailing throughout the science, and 



consists of a synopsis of the classification scheme. From 
the text it is inferred that the author had classified 
his own mineral collection according to the outlined 
method.

CHILDREY, Joshua. (BORN: Rochester, Kent, 

England, 1623; DIED: Upwey, Dorsetshire, England, 26 
August 1670) English naturalist. 

Childrey graduated from Oxford University; Mag- 
dalen Colleger, B.A., 1646. Childrey was expelled by the 
Parliamentary Visitors in 1648. M.A., 1661; D.D., 1661. 
Both of these degrees were mandated upon the Restoration. 
Childrey's first books were on astrology: Imago astrológica, 
1652, and Syzygiasticon instauratum, 1653. In attempting 
to elaborate an experimental astrology, he confirmed an 
old idea that there was a 35 year cycle in the weather. 
He made numberous observations on the weather and the 
tides. 

He was clerk of Magdalen College, 1640-8. School- 
master of Faversham, 1648-61. Later, appointed chaplain 
to the Lord Herbert, 1660-4. Archdeaconry of Sarurn, 1664, 
and a prebend in Salisbury Cathedral that same year. Rec- 
tor of Upwey, 1664-70. Lord Herbert offered him a chap- 
lainship in 1660. It is clear that he languished until the 
Restoration and then received a living. Childrey made and 
improved telescopes.

CHLADNI, Ernst Florenz Friedrich. (Born: 

Wittenberg, Germany, 30 November 1756; DlED: 
Breslau, Germany, 3 April 1827) German physicist. 

At the urging of his father, until 1778 Chladni 
studied philosophy and jurisprudence in Wittenberg and 
Leipzig. After the death of his father however, he turned 
to the natural sciences. His hopes of becoming a professor 
of mathematics at the University of Wittenberg were 
not realized. He turned to experimental acoustics and 
discovered the Chladni sound figures, which are named 
for him. To support himself, he invented a musical 
instrument called the Euphon, which he took on lecture 
tours to Dresden (1791), to Göttingen and Berlin (1792). 
Eventually, Chladni was appointed professor of philosophy 
and jurisprudence at Kemberg near Wittenberg.

at the start of the text Chladni asserts unequivocally 
that the fireballs sometimes seen in the sky consisted 
of compact and heavy matter, which came from cosmic 
space, and that the iron mass found by Pallas in Siberia 
was a meteorite similar to others that had sporadically 
fallen in other parts of Europe. Chladni then 

convincingly presents his evidence for this assertion. 

At the time, meteorites and the fireballs that 
preceded them were thought to be of atmospheric origin 
and not necessarily connected to one another. To 
support his theory that meteorites and the fireballs 
that preceded their impact were of cosmic origin, 
Chladni compiled accounts from about two dozen 
reports. From this Chladni concluded the fireballs 
could not be connected to the northern lights, because 
of their high altitude they could not be electrical 
in nature, and they were unlike lightning in having 
a distinctive shape and following a parabolic path 
in the sky while they were also subject of repeated 
explosions. Chladni next turned his attention to reports 
of falls, documenting a total of nineteen. The most 
impressive, certainly, was Hraschina, which had been 
preceded by a fireball that had exploded into several 
parts and attested to by the sworn statements of 
seven eyewitnesses. Eight of the nineteen falls cited 
had occurred in the eighteenth-century: Ploschkovitz, 
Nicorps, Hraschina, Tabor, Albareto, Luce, Aire-sur-la- 
Lys, and Eichstädt. Chladni next examined meteoritic 
iron discussing principally the Pallas iron [Krasnojarsk], 
although he provides brief accounts of other iron

masses. Chladni concludes that there are bodies outside 
the earth's atmosphere that occasionally fall to earth as 
meteorites. 

The impact of Chladni's work was to document 
in a well reasoned manner (1) that stones do fall from 
the sky, (2) that the stones (or irons) are the substance 
composing fireballs, and (3) that the fireballs have a 
cosmic origin. The first two ideas took hold in the 
scientific community soon after publication; however, 
it would be many decades before the cosmic origin of 
meteorites was definitively proven.

RARE. After the appearance of his 1794 work, 
Chladni continued his interest in meteorites. His 
employment as a journeying lecturer provided him 
with the opportunity to scour libraries for rare books 
and papers that documented fireballs and accounts of 
stones falling from the sky. In particular, Chladni 
concentrated on eyewitness accounts that were recorded 
in the old literature. The years 1816 to 1819 

were particular productive for this purpose, as he 
began delivering a series of lectures on fireballs and 
meteorites — the first such popular lectures ever given on 
the subject. Using his own collection of meteorites that 
he had acquired through donation, purchase or trade, he 
traveled from Paris to Vienna thrilling his audience with 
the accounts of the sky raining stone. As a consequence, 
he also had the opportunity to examine the meteorite 
specimens held in many private and public collections, 
most notably those at Vienna, the largest holding of the 
time. This allowed Chladni to complete his final book 
on the subject of meteorities, About Fire Meteors and 
their Fallen Masses, which was published in Vienna in 
1819. 

Following the same formula as his 1794 work, 
Chladni provides a detailed description of the meteorite 
theory, adding comprehensive documentation of all 
reports of fireballs and meteorites. The importance and 
authority of the work in meteorities was immediately 
recognized, although Chladni's evidence was still 
not sufficient to convince the scientific community 
of the cosmic origin of the stones. At Chladni's 
request, the director of the K.K. Hof-Mineralien- 
Cabinette of Vienna, Karl von Schreibers [1775-1852] 
added a supplement, documenting the meteorite falls 
represented in that collection.

CLARKE, Edward Daniel. (Born: Willingdon, Eng- 
land, 5 June 1769; DIED: Pall Mall, England, 9 March 
1822) English traveler, antiquary & mineralogist. 

Clarke was Senior Tutor of Jesus College, Cambridge. 
Beginning in the 1790's and lasting until near his death, 
he traveled extensively. Between 1799 and 1802, these 
tours included a long ranging excursion throughout Asia 
and Asia Minor. In 1808, he was appointed the first 
professor of mineralogy at Cambridge University. He also 
accepted a posts as Vicar of Harleton in 1805 and Rector 
of Yeldharn in 1809, both of which he retained until his 
death. He built up a substantial mineral collection of 
worldwide localities, which was purchased after his death 
by Cambridge University in 1823 for ¿1,500. Clarke's 
Traveis in Various Parts of Europe. Asia and Africa (6 vols., 
London, 1810-20) was a work said to be reliable in its 
descriptions and popular within English society.

Rare. This book contains an outline of Clarke's 
mineralogical lectures as delivered at Cambridge 
University in the early part of the nineteenth century. 
The author follows the Linnaean natural history model 
in his classification, by placing minerals into a Class, 
Order, Genus, Species, Variety schematic. This text 
would have been used by students attending the lectures 
and consequently many copies were probably badly 
damaged or destroyed by their owners.

version of the hydrogen-oxygen blow-pipe. The author 
provides a short history of the problem, a review of 
his new apparatus design, and descriptions of a large 
number of experiments that were completed before the 
extremely high temperature of the blow-pipe. Included 
in the discussion are Clarke's successful experiments 
in reducing apparently non-metallic mineral substances 
to their metallic state. These include the reduction 
of lime, Iceland Spar, Aragonite, common chalk, and 
limestone from various world locations, to elemental 
Calcium, various Apatite specimens to Phosphorus,

etc. In another part, Clarke describes the unsuccessful 
experiments in reduction. Included are Barite,

Scheelite, meteoritic stones, etc. As can be judged, this 
work was important step in high temperature analysis 
of mineral substances.

RARE. The literary tool of writing philosophical 
essays as a paradox was a great success in the 
sixteenth century. De Clave's Paradoxes, ou Traitez 
Philosophiques der Pierres et Pierreries follows this 
tradition. Within this mineralogical work, the nature of 
precious stones and minerals and the definition of their 
formation are discussed, much as De Boodt wrote in his 
classic tome. 

In the foreword to the work, de Clave outlines 
an ambitious goal of the book, which was to write 
forty treatises outlining the fruits of over thirty years 
of research. However, only the two books contained 
in the Paradoxes were ever published. The first of 
these in 18 chapters discusses the opinions of previous 
researchers on the definitions of stones, their material 
cause (chap, iii-x) and their efficient cause (chap, xi- 
xviii). Here the principle authorities are Aristotle, 
Theophrastus, Avicenne, Albertus Magnus, Agricola 
Gabriel Fallopio, Jules-César Scaliger and Girolamo 
Cardano, which reflects the importance as well as the 
tradition of Aristotelian philosophy in the mineralogical 
science of the time. De Clave however attacks their 
opinions on the formation of stones and metals. The 
second book in 28 chapters describes the generation 
(chap, iii-viii), the seeds (chap, xi-xvii), the definition 
(chap, xx-xxiv) and the nutrition (chap, xxv-xxviii) of 
stones. At this time it was popular to believe that 
stones formed from seeds, much as plants, found in the 
earth.

Maine, U.S.A., 15 October 1858) American physician, 
geologist, mineralogist & educator. 

Cleaveland graduated with an M.A. from Harvard in 
1802, receiving his M.D. from Dartmouth in 1823, and 
his LL.D. from Bowdoin College on 1824. From 1799 to 
1802, he taught school in York, Maine, then he became 
a tutor in math and natural philosophy at Harvard until 
1805. Cleveland was then appointed professor of math and 
natural philosophy at Bowdoin College where he remained 
the rest of his life. He was also was from 1820 to '58, 
professor of materia medica at the Medical School of 
(Brunswick) Maine. Cleaveland held membership in many 
scientific societies including the American Academy of Arts 
and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. A 
variety of the mineral albite was named "Cleave land ite" 
after him by H.J. BROOKE in 1823.

SCARCE. This is the first textbook authored by an 
American, which focused on the mineralogy and geol- 
ogy of America. From the outset Cleaveland had set as 
his task to write a textbook of mineralogy and geology 
particularly suited to American readers. All other min- 
eralogies prior to this volume had been European in ori- 
gin, and no one had described the minerals of America 
in a comprehensive way. The task for Cleaveland was 
daunting. America was a large area which he could not 
hope to completely explore. Even so Cleaveland took 
the first step. Starting in 1809 he began to develop a 
network of correspondents and informants throughout 
the Eastern United States with the goal of developing a

list of American mineral localities. Through persever- 
ing diligence he slowly accumulated the necessary in- 
formation. Even the War of 1812 did not unduly delay 
the project, although Cleaveland did prepare his notes 
for rapid evacuation in the event the British soldiers 
encamped several miles away did pillage Bowdoin Col- 
lege. Throughout this research Benjamin Silliman of 
Yale University was a tower of strength to Cleaveland 
and his project; Silliman supplied specimens, preformed 
chemical analyses and experiments and advised Cleave- 
land as to the general plan the book should follow. 

The work is divided into three sections: Introduc- 
tion, Descriptive Mineralogy and Geology. The Intro- 
duction is made up of four chapters. The first cover- 
ing definitions and preliminary observations is derived 
from the German school of mineralogy, most notably 
Werner's philosophies. The second chapter concerns 
crystallography, external characters and chemical com- 
position of minerals. Chapter three outlines the classi- 
fication system by which the minerals will be arranged. 
It is a composite system with its roots in the schemes 
developed by Haüy and Bronigart. The final chapter 
of the introduction describes the nomenclature of min- 
eralogy. Following the introduction, a "Tabular View 
of the Simple Minerals" is presented. This section the 
largest of the work is essentially a descriptive miner- 
alogy. It emphasizes American localities but is also 
one of the great descriptive mineralogies of the time. 
Cleaveland had not studied in Europe, and so his only 
knowledge of mineralogy had been self learned from the 
principle mineralogical works of Kirwan, Haüy, Jame- 
son, Thomson, Bronigart, Werner, etc. In his descrip- 
tions, Cleaveland syntheses the ideas of these varied au- 
thors into a description for each mineral that is however 
his own statement. The final section of Cleaveland's 
Treatise is devoted to the geology of the United States, 
and includes as illustration a geological map of the At- 
lantic seaboard. This was a composite of a geographical 
map prepared by his publisher, Cummings and Hilliard, 
and a geological map previously published by William 
Maclure. 

Upon its publication the Treatise was deservedly 
praised both in America and Europe as the definitive 
statement on American mineralogy. Reviewers on both 
sides of the Atlantic praised its content, and the tireless 
efforts of the author in acquiring locality information. 
His peers also acknowledged the value of the work. No 
less a personage the famous Haüy is reported to have 
called it, "the best elementary work on the science ex- 
tant." It was due to this welcome reception that the 
first printing of 1000 copies was nearly sold out by the 
summer of 1818.

SCARCE. The first edition of the Treatise had sold out 
in 1818. Cleaveland at the behest of his publisher under- 
took the preparation of a second edition. For this work he 
decided to focus even more on American localities. This 
lead him to send out an announcement of his intention to 
produce a second edition, adding an appeal for descriptions 
of mineral localités in the United States. 

"I am preparing a new edition of my Mineralogy, and 
solicit from you accounts of new Localities, and such other 
remarks, as may tend to render the work more useful." 

"I wish to connect with the account of the Local- 
ity some brief Geological notice, viz. whether the mineral 
occurs in veins, or in beds, or is disseminated — the associ- 
ated minerals — and the rocíe, which contains them. In most 
cases, the form, structure, and prevailing color of the min- 
eral may be mentioned." 

"I also wish to obtain as accurate information, as 
possible, in regard to all minerals explored for useful or 
ornamentai purposes, such as Nitre, Common Salt, Mar- 
ble, Marl, Gypsum, Precious Stones, Steatite, Roof Slate, 
Clays, Pigments, Anthracite, Graphite, Coal, Ores of met- 
als, Chromate of Lead, ice. The quanitity of the aforemen- 
tioned substances annually obtained or manufactured, the 
quality, including the per cent, of metal yielded by ores, and 
the price are particularly requested." [Quoted by Greene, 
J. С ic Burke, J.G. (1978), p. 90-91.] 

The response to Cleaveland's request was extraordi- 
nary. His colleagues were eager to supply all the informa- 
tion they could to insure the second editon was a success. 
More than any revisions Cleaveland made to the text, it 
was the inclusion of this data that balloned the size of the 
Treatise an additional 150 pages. 

This work with minor revision follows the scheme of 
the first edition. It contains a frontispiece geological map 
prepared from William Maclure's earlier map of 1817 and 
written communications with H.H. Hayden. It was the sec- 
ond major geological map of the United States. Of the 
text, the first part treats crystallography, physical and op- 
tical properties, chemistry, systematics of mineralogy, and 
nomenclature. This is followed by the descriptive miner- 
alogy, which begins in volume one and is carried well into 
the second. The introduction to geology then commences. 
A vocabulary, explanation of the five plates, and an index 
conclude the work.

COLLINS, Joseph Henry. (Born: London, England, 
1841; DIED: London, England, 1916) English mining 
expert. 

Collins had his early education in Derbyshire, which 
influenced his life long interest in minerals. He was 
apprenticed to the sculpture R. Underwood, but instead 
chose to continue his education. While attending the 
Royal School of Mines in 1868, Collins together with his 
classmate, A. LlVERSIDGE successfully carried off one of the 
Royal exhibitions, much to the embarrassment of the school 
authorities. In 1869, Collins was offered a position as 
lecturer and assistant secretary to the Miner's Association 
of Cornwall and Devon. In accepting the post, he moved to 
Truro, where he became well versed in the Cornish mining 
methods. In 1873, Collins returned to London and began 
working as a consulting engineer. From 1880 to 1884 he 
was employed in Spain, but returned to London for health 
reasons. Collins was elected a Fellow of the Geological 
Society, London in 1869, and he was also instrumental in 
founding the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and 
Ireland in 1876.

miners and collectors describes the mineral species 
found in the pennisula of Cornwall in the north— west of 
the island of England. This extraordinary area though 
small in size has produced an abundance of different 
mineral species. Part one provides a determinative 
mineralogy, gives a nomenclature of Cornish minerals, 
provides a systematic overview, distribution in the area 
and the paragensis of the species ??. Part two is an 
alphabetical list of minerals found in Cornwall and

RARE. The third edition of the Encyclopaedia Bri- 
tannica (15 vols., London, 1787-97), which included bi- 
ographical sketches and accounts of historical events, is 
known to have sold over 13,000 copies in the British Em- 
pire. The Philadelphia publisher Thomas Dobson [see 
note below] thought he saw a business opportunity and 
issued a call for subscribers for an American version. 
Part of Dobson's incitement was that all materials from 
paper and ink to type and binding would be of American 
origin. This brought out a sufficient subscription and 
publication began in 1790 and was completed 18 vol- 
umes later in 1798. However, from the beginning, the 
venture was strapped for cash and in late 1793 a fire at 
Dobson's shop further strained the publisher's finances. 
Beginning in 1794 several publications appeared that 
are extracts of long articles from the complete Ency- 
clopaedia. These rare books were probably published 
to help keep Dobson solvent. 

The Compendious System of Mineralogy and Met- 
allurgy was one of several books separately published 
that contain articles from Dobson's Encyclopaedia. The 
original articles were authored by the famous Scot- 
tish mineralogist ROBERT JAMESON, and give a good 
overview and description of the subjects at the end of 
eighteenth century. Because of its early date this is the 
first book published on these subjects in America in En- 
glish and is preceded only by the 1763 German edition 
of Barba published at Ephrata, Pennsylvania [which see

second mineralogical work published in America in En- 
glish [see next entry]. However, both editions are rare 
items and infrequently encountered. 

Thomas Dobson. (BORN: probably near Edinburgh, 
Scotland, 1751; DIED: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., 
9 March 1823) American publisher, printer & bookseller. 
Dobson married in Scotland but emigrated to the United 
States in the spring of 1784. He opened a bookshop in 
Philadelphia in 1785 and was soon established as one of 
the leading dealers of medical, professional and scientific 
books in the United States. In the post Revolutionary 
period he was noted for printing America editions of recent 
British publications. To sell his merchandise, he cultivated 
close relationships with the local scientific societies and the 
faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, where Dobson 
met many potential customers. Several set backs through 
the years caused his business to fail and for Dobson to die 
in obscurity.

American author. 

Little is known of his life until the war of 1812- 
15. Then he worked as a surgeon in the army and 
thereafter added M.D. to his name. Comstock was a 
self educated man, and upon his discharge from military 
service, he returned to Connecticut where he lived the 
remainder of his life in Hartford. As a means of livelihood, 
Comstock prepared texts for the use of schools on a large 
spectrum of subjects, including chemistry, mineralogy, 
botany, natural history, geography, and physiology. His 
Natural Philosophy became a standard, and its world 
wide sales approached nearly a. million copies — evenmore 
remarkable in the nineteenth century, than it is today. It 
is recorded that Comstock possessed a good mechanical 
skill that allowed him to construct whatever apparatus 
might be required in his various studies, and being an able 
draftsman, create the illustrations used in his numerous 
books.

Elements of Mineralogy, 1827 

of A Manual of Mineralogy by J.L. Comstock in which 
"the science is illustrated by cuts in the text, and a 
considerable number of colored engravings ..." Since no 
copies are recorded in the libraries of the United States 
or Great Britain, this particular title would seem never 
to have been published. In the next year, however, 
Comstock's Elements of Mineralogy did appear, and 
although containing no plates, colored or plain, the 
work is illustrated throughout with woodcuts. Elements 
would therefore appear to be the rechristened Manual 
announced in 1826. 

Elements is a volume that was designed as a 
less expensive and weighty alternative to PARKER 
Cleaveland's landmark Treatise. It was intended to be 
used as a textbook in the schools and higher seminars in 
America, which were instructing students in mineralogy. 
Therefore, Comstock begins the volume with the basics, 
including preliminary definitions of mineralogy and 
geology and the characters of minerals, and continues 
into slightly expanded definitions of external characters, 
color, luster, cleavage, transparency, etc. The greater 
majority of the volume is then given over to the 
describing of specific mineral species. Comstock 
described his Elements in an advertisement as a volume 
"... of such a size as to come within the means of almost 
everyone ... and if well done, [it] would facilitate the 
progress of science in our country." It is well worth 
noting that Elements was not kindly received in its only 
review. Here the anonymous writer berates Comstock 
for appearing to know little or nothing of the science 



of mineralogy and its current state of advancement in 
America. The review ends with a classic poison pen: 
"This work is as full of errors of the press, as of the 
pen, and so far from facilitating the progress of science, 
carries us back something like ten years."

1832. 

12°: 343 p., illus. 

VERY SCARCE. Introduction to Mineralogy is 
written in a similar though distinct style from its 
forebearer, Elements. The first noticeable difference 
is that the woodcuts are of a cruder, less refined 
character; however, the cuts do depict the same 
subjects as did Elements. Unlike the eariler work 
though, Introduction to Mineralogy enjoyed for many 
years a broad popularity as a textbook and fieldguide, 
which also created its peculiar bibliography. Oddly, 
Introduction to Mineralogy was never reviewed or even 
noticed in the journals of the period. This fact 
undoubtedly contributed to its success as it contains 
many flaws. In addition, no reference to either of 
Comstock's works appears in any other American 
mineralogy. Yet, the legacy of these textbooks is that 
they were usually the first mineralogical work that 
exposed American students to the science, and during 
the gold rush, Comstock's Introduction was a title 
carried west by many a forty-niner.

according to its Advertisement, "more that forty new cuts"

12°: 1-30 6 31 5 ; 185.?.; [l]-369, [1] p., 186 illus., index. 

CONTENTS: [1-2], Title page, verso copyright notice;

ment to the third edition" ; [5]-10, "Index" ; [ll]-342, "Intro-

hibiting the angular admeasurements of crystals by the Re-

SCARCE. This text is divided into two parts. The 
first is an introduction to mineralogical science. It 
covers crystallography, predominate forms of crystals, 
mechanical division of crystal angles, primitive forms, 
most common forms, double refraction, colors of minerals, 
luster, hardness, electricity, specific gravity, and chemistry. 
The second is a descriptive mineralogy which emphasises 
localities in the United States. Closing the work are 
an explanation of terms, and a table of goniometeric 
measurements according to WILLIAM PHILLIPS. This is 
the third, and last revision of the text by the author. 
Comstock updated the book by additions of new species 
and an appendix "containing the description of minerals 
not embraced in the body of the work." Locality 

information was also updated. Although no other additions 
or corrections were ever made to the text again, this 
book was issued over and over until the middle of the 
ninteenth century. After the eleventh issue, the publisher, 
perhaps sensing buyer reluctance, replaced the words 
"Third edition, improved" on the title page, with an edition 
note [perhaps noting the edition of the title page itself!]. 
The twenty-sixth and probably final "edition" appeared in 
1852.

CORNWALL, Henry Bedinger. (Born: Southport, 
Connecticut, U.S.A., 29 July 1844; DIED: Princeton, 
New Jersey, U.S.A., 1 April 1917) American mining 
engineer & chemist. 

Cornwall was a graduate of Columbia College in 1864, 
and its School of Mines in 1867 as a mining engineer. 
From 1865 till 1873, he was an assistant in the School 
of Mines, with the exception of two years spent in study 
at the Freiburg Bergakademie. In 1873 he was elected to 
the chair of analytical chemistry and mineralogy in the 
school of science of the College of New Jersey. In 1865 
he was appointed superintendent of the Continental Zinc 
and Lead company, of New York. During 1870-'l he filled 
a similar office in the General Silver-Mining Company, 
and spent fifteen months while in their employ examining 
the Batopilas mines, in Mexico. Cornwall has published 
numerous scientific papers, and has paid special attention 
to water-analysis.

VERY SCARCE. Cornwall's volume includes the 
general range of topics usually discussed under the 
general description of blowpipe analysis. Characterized 
by the excellent writing that gives full and complete 
descriptions, the directions for the techniques of 
manipulation and result interpretation are presented in 
such a manner that even a beginner could make use of 
the book.

Cramer first studied law, then from 1734 mining and 
chemistry. He visited England in 1738 to 1739, then the 
Erzgebirge in Saxony, becoming in 1743 Kammerrath of 
mines and smelters for Brunswick at Blankenburg. He lost 
this post in 1773 through the actions of his enemies. In 
1775 he visited the Hungarian mines before returning in 
1777 to Germany.

PLATES: The six engraved plates show various 
apparatus and techniques in assaying. Each is signed 
J. Mynde sc. They consist of: Plates I— III, showing 
various apparatus. Plate IV show furnaces. Plate V, 
depict bellows, scales, weights. Plate VI, renders a storage 
diagram for a glass furnace. 

SCARCE. Translation of Elementa Artis Docimasticee 
(1st ed., Leipzig, 1739), the most famous metallurgical 
textbook of its time. Cramer was the best assayer of his 
time, and he brings all of his practical experience into his 
books. It was the first work to reduce the art of assaying 
in metallurgy into a system, and Cramer's textbook is the 
first of its kind. It divides the subject into two sections: 
one theoretical, the other practical. Cramer acknowledges 
the prior work in the area of Agrícola, Ercker and Stahl. 
Cramer was the first to recommend the use of the blowpipe 
in assaying small quantities of ores on a charcoal block with 
borax acting as a flux. He describes his blowpipe as being 
made of copper with a ball included to condense moisture 
in the breath. Cramer is equally meticulous in describing 
the other tools of the trade, many of which are depicted on 
some of the finely engraved plates.

Scotland, 2 December 1763: 
Sevenoaks, Kent, England, 
physician. 

Crichton recieved his M.D. from Leyden in 1785. He 
perfected his medical skills by studying throughout Europe. 
In 1804 came an appointment as personal physician to Tsar 
Alexander I of Russia. Upon retiring from this post, he 
returned to England. Crichton wrote several books dealing 
with medical and geological subjects, and held membership 
in many societies, including F.L.S., 1793, F.R.S., 1800 & 
F.G.S, 1819. While living in Russia he contiuned to add 
to his mineral collection begun years before. It eventually 
consisted of over 4,000 specimens of the highest quality 
from localities throughout the world

RARE. This notice was printed in anticipation of 
a unique auction of minerals in the upcoming spring. 
Crichton had decided to retire from public life, and he 
commissioned G.B. Sowerby [see note below] to sell his 
large mineral collection. Efforts were made by Sowerby 
to sell the accumulation en block, but no purchaser was 
forthcoming. This notice was published to tantalize 
prospective bidders at the auction to be held in the 
coming spring. It lists highlights of the collection, most 
notably rare crystallized specimens from Russia.

Cronstedt 

CRONSTEDT, Axel Fredrik. (Born: Stropsta, 
Turinge Parish, Södermanland, Sweden, 23 December 
1722; DIED: Säter, Sweden, 19 August 1765) Swedish 
mineralogist & chemist. 

Cronstedt studied mathematics at Uppsala, where 
he came under the influence of J.G. Wallerius and S. 
RlNMAN and became interested in mining and mineralogy. 
He served in the Swedish army from 1741 to '43, but 



afterwards, he became a mining expert by visiting the 
various mines and smelters throughout Sweden. In 1747, 
He was appointed assistant to D. TlLAS, before becoming 
in 1748, director of the East and West Bergslagen mining 
district. Cronstedt discovered the element Nickel while 
analyzing the mineral "kupfernickel" [niccolite] in 1751. He 
is also among the first researchers to use the blow-pipe in 
mineral analyses, generating better results than anyone up 
to that time. Berzelius said of him, "Cronstedt, the founder 
of the chemical system of mineralogy, a man who by his 
acuteness in that science rose so far above his age that 
he was never correctly understood by it." During his life 
he accumulated a large mineral collection of 3,000 items 
which was inherited by his son. The collection and its 
manuscript catalog were purchased by a wealthy Danish 
landowner and collector who moved it to Paris where it 
was lost. Cronstedt was elected in 1754 a member of the 
Kungliga Vetenskaps Akademiens, Stockholm (Academy of 
Sciences, Stockholm), and the mineral "Cronstedtite" was 
named in his honor by J. Steinmann in 1821.

Försök till Mineralogie, 1758 

SCARCE. Published anonymously. This is one of 
the most important and influential works in mineralogy. 
By precise chemical analysis, Cronstedt first realized 
that every mineral is created from a specific set of 
chemical constituents; he further realized that the 
chemical uniqueness of minerals formed an ideal concept 
on which a system mineralogy could be built. Pursuing 
this insight with all his great skill and perseverance, 
he applied every test at his disposal to determine a 
mineral's chemical composition more accurately than 
had any other previous investigator. In fact, Cronstedt 
was so successful using the blowpipe in making his 
determinations that he can rightly be called the 
founder of systematic blowpipe analysis. Using the 
results of his various tests, Cronstedt arranged minerals 
according to their contained chemical elements, thus 
creating the first mineralogical system to rely almost 
exclusively on chemical determinations. This new 
method had very wide appeal among mineralogists, and 
many subsequent systems would copy Cronstedt's lead. 
Another innovation was to distinguish, for the first 
time, between true minerals of homogeneous chemical 
composition and rocks, which are a mixture of several 
minerals; the later, together with fossils, the author 
separately classified in an appendix.

VERY SCARCE. A partial translation of the 1758 
Swedish edition. Believing that Cronstedt's work 

represented the best chemical classification available, the 
noted mineralogist, Abraham Gottlob Werner translated 
the section dealing with earths and stones; however, Werner 
so expanded the work by incorporating his own theories on 
the external characteristics of minerals that this translation 
rapidly became accepted throughout Europe as the best 
reference and textbook of contemporary mineralogical 
science.

formation of minerals followed by chapters describing the 
general divisions of minerals and fossils, the different kinds 
of earths, salts, inflammables, and metals. An appendix 
is present, containing an account of composed stones and 
petrifications; a treatise on the use of the blowpipe; a 
description of the three pocket laboratories; a method 
for analyzing earths; a description of an instrument to 
determine specific gravity; and a new method for making 
general weights.

Jean Hyacinth de Magellan [Portuguese: João Jacinto de 
Magalhães]. (BORN: Aveiro, Portugal, 1723; DIED: London, 
England, 1790) Portuguese naturalist & author. Magellan 
entered the Catholic College of the Sapiência in Coimbra, 
where he studied for 11 years. During his classical 
education he became proficient in Latin, Greek, Spanish, 
French, German and English as well as the studies of 
mathematics, chemistry and physics. After graduation, 
he entered into a religious life. However, his scientific 
interests caused him to abandon the monastery in 1754 and 
make a "philosophical trip." He witnessed the devastating 
Lisbon earthquake of 1 November 1755, before leaving 
for France in 1756. From there he traveled extensively 
in throughout Europe meeting the leading scientists of 
the time. He arrived in London in 1763, and remained.

History 



Cronstedt 



His chief contribution to science were his mathematical, 
scientific and geodetic instruments, which are of the highest 
caliber. He supplied these instruments to the governments 
of Portugal, Spain, France and Russia. Magellan was a 
Fellow of the Royal Society of London and elected on 
Benjamin Franklin's recommendation to the Philadelphia 
Academy of Science.

SCARCE. The Illinois State Museum of Springfield, 
Illinois was created by act of the state Legislature in 
1877. It accumulated a menagerie of objects including 
a large mineral collection. This Guide is a fine work 
that is more than a catalog, being in fact a well written 
and popular textbook of mineralogy. The text has 
chapters on nomenclature, the uses of minerals, history 
of mineralogy, chemistry, etc., which is richly illustrated 
with text figures and 31 photographic plates showing 
specimens from the museum.

CROSS, Roselle Theodore. (Born: Richville, New 
York, U.S.A., 21 August 1844; DIED: Denver, Colorado, 
USA, 1924) American theologian & mineralogist. 

Cross graduated from Oberlin College in 1867, and 
studied theology at Union Theological Seminary and 
Andover. Oberlin and York Colleges both awarded him 
the Doctor of Divinity degree. He assumed the pastorate 
of a church in Hamilton, New York where he served from 
1874-1876. In 1876, Cross came to Colorado at the 
request of the Home Mission Board to discover the reasons 
for the short pastorates of young men who came to the 
west. He became the first pastor of the Congregational 
church in Colorado Springs who was not directly involved 
with Colorado College. He served in that position for 
five years. He founded the short-lived The Congregational 
News in 1879. After Colorado Springs, he became pastor 
of the Congregational church in West Denver, followed 
by Minneapolis, York, Nebraska, Eugene, Oregon before 
returning to Denver. While pastoring in Colorado Springs 
he organized a group of boys into an exploring association. 



The group is credited with the discovery of the "Cave of 
the Winds" in 1880.

CUMENGE, Edouard. (Born: 1828; Died: 1902) 
French mining expert. 

Curnenge was assigned as engineer to the Ecole des 
Mines in 1851, but was dismissed the following year. 
For the remainder of his life, he worked as a consultant 
in numerous countries including Spain, Italy, Greece, 
Venezuela, Colombia, The United States, Mexico, and 
Transylvania. At a copper deposit near Boleo in Baja, 
Mexico, Cumenge recovered two new mineral species, which 
were named by Mallard, boleite and cumengeite.

SCARCE. Co-authored with Fernand Robellaz. 
This is the premier fascicule of which no more 
were published of what was to be an authoritative 
work on metals. The text describes gold and its 
associated minerals. The first portion covers native gold 
and provides information on the physical properties, 
crystallography, and chemical and thermal properties. 
Specimens of native gold are described and illustrated 
on the plates as are mineral species and rock types 
that are associated with native metal. The second part 
describes mineral species that contain gold, such as 
electum, amalgam, calaverite, petzite, sylvanite, etc. A 
third section provides an historical introduction to gold 
and its history in Africa, Asia and Europe. Modern 
uses and discoveries are then described and include

CUPANI 



CUPANI, Francesco. (BORN: Mirto, Messina, Sicily, 
21 January 1657; DIED: Mirto, Messina, Sicily, 19 
January 1710/11) Italian botanist. 

Cupani studied medicine and became a Franciscan. 
He dedicated himself to the study of natural history, 
and most especially botany. In particular he studied the 
Sicilian flora and was the friend and student of SILVIO 
BOCCONE, who was a pioneer naturalist in Sicily. Due to 
a huge correspondence among his contemporaries, Cupani 
became very famous throughout all of Europe. He founded 
a botanical garden 'Garden of Misilmeri' in 1692 where 
native and exotic plants were cultivated.

VERY RARE. Although principally a botanical 
work this posturnonous publication is a generously 
illustrated natural history of the author's native Sicily. 
It illustrates the plants, animals, and minerals of that 
island. There is little or no text as the work was still 
in preparation when Cupani died. Never the less, the 
Panphyton Siculum contains the first descriptions of 
several plant species new to science.

CUVIER 



CUVIER, George. (BORN: Montbéliard, France, 23 
August 1769; DIED: Paris, France, 13 May 1832) French 
naturalist. 

Baron Georges Leopold Chretien Frédéric Dagobert 
Cuvier, French naturalist, was born at Montbéliard, and 
was the son of a retired officer on half-pay belonging to 
a Protestant family which had emigrated from the Jura 
mountains on the French-Swiss border as a consequence of 
religious persecution. 

He early showed a bent towards the investigation of 
natural phenomena, and was noted for his studious habits 
and marvellous memory. After spending four years at the 
Academy of Stuttgart, he accepted the position of tutor in 
the family of the Comte d'Héricy, who was in the habit of 
spending the summer near Fecamp. It thus came about 
that he made the acquaintance of the agriculturist, AH 
Tessier, who was then living at Fecamp, and who wrote 
strongly in favour of his protégé to his friends in Paris 
— with the result that Cuvier, after corresponding with 
the well-known naturalist E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, was 
appointed in 1795 assistant to the professor of comparative 
anatomy at the Museum dHistoire Naturelle.

VERY SCARCE. This lavishly illustrated and 
brillantly written work collects together Cuvier 's many 
separate publications on fossil remains, essentially 
founding the science of modern paleontology, and 
greatly advancing the development of comparative 
anatomy. His presentation of evidence of progressive 
development he destroyed the view of immutability 
of speices and contributed to the Darwinian theory 
of evolution. The Discours Préliminaire published in 
volume one (later published as the much discussed 
Discours sur les Révolutions du Globe) contains the 
author's famous theory of the remote history of the 
earth. "In the whole literature of comparative anatomy 
and paleontology there is scarcely any work that can 
rank with this great masterpiece" (Zittel).

D'ACHIARDI, Antonio. (BORN: Pisa, Italy, 28 
November 1839; DIED: Pisa, Italy, 10 December 1902) 
Italian mineralogist. 

Father of the Italian mineralogist Giovanni [1872- 
1944], d'Achiardi began his studies at Pisa in 1859, 
receiving his degree for doctor of science from Pisa in 1859. 
He subsequently became assistant for chemistry in 1861, 
and in 1870, for mineralogy. He was appointed professor 
extraordinary of mineralogy in 1874 and professor ordinary 
in 1876.

within the area is provided a full description, including 
known occurrences, mineralogical associations, and 
occasional notes on the history of that species in 
Tuscany. The text principally treats these descriptions, 
while the three indexes at the end reference the localities 
where species are found, the principal mines and caves 



of the region, and a list of all mineral species mentioned.

Rare. This work describing the progress of geology 
from 1834 to 1845 can today still be consulted with profit 
for the geological historian. Originally it was to consist 
of four volumes, but D'Archiardi finally gave up writing 
at volume eight. The work is divided into the following 
volumes. 1. Cosmogeny and géogénie, physique of the 
earth. 2. Le part. Terrain quaternary or torrential. 2.

D'ARCET, Jean. (BORN: St. Sever, Department 
Landes, France, 7 September 1725; DIED: Paris, France, 
13 February 1801) French physician & chemist. 

D'Arcet (or Darcet) was a Liège surgeon who became 
intested in science, especially chemistry. He was appointed 
professor of chemistry at the College de France, and became 
inspector of the Gobelin's dye works. Eventually he 
succeeded P.J, Macquer and became director of the Sèvres 
porcelain works.

Memoire, 1766 

author here examines the fusibilités of many minerals, 
including talc, various carbonates, gypsum, quartz, etc. 
The results of these experiments are contained in this 
paper, Mémoire sur l'Action d'un Feu Egal, which 
was in large measure responsible for the growth of the 
French glass and pottery industry. D'Arcet in fact was 
the first in France to manufacture true porcelain. Also, 
contained with in this book, is the author's description 
of the combustibility of diamond, and an account of his 
classification system of minerals.

recipes for various remedies and cures against all 
manner of ailments using prescriptions derived from 
minerals, vegetables, and animals. The text is divided 
into four books. The first, "De Mineralogia," (pp. 
37-101) treats medicinal waters, minerals and stones. 
Brief descriptions with supposed curative properties 
are reported for about 40 species including clay, 
marl, sulfur, arsenic, bitumen, various salts, magnet, 
hematite, cinnabar, cobalt, bismuth, antimony, iron, 
tin, gold, silver, lead, copper, pumice, chrysocolla, 
carbuncle, lapis lazuli, diamond, talc, selenite, 
alabaster, ¿Etite, sardonyx, nephrite, garnet, ruby, 
amethyst, sapphire, topaz, beryl, emerald, opal, etc. 
Book two covers "Phytologia" (pp. 102-523) and 
includes cures derived from corals, fungus, sponges, 
etc. The third book contains zoology (pp. 524-642), 
while book four discusses "Anthropologia" (pp. 643- 
649). An appendix concludes the text. The book was a 
very popular work going through at least five editions 
by 1751. Interestingly, it contains the first use of the 
word Pharmacology, which Dale derived from two Greek

VERY SCARCE. To this work by Silas Taylor [see 
note below] on the history and antiquities of Harwich 
and Dovercourt, Dale has added a long appendix 
dealing with the natural history of the region, including 
a study of the mineralogy. In "To The Reader" 
Dale notes that this is the first printing of Taylor's 
History, which had been written in 1676. Dale then 
provides a biographical sketch of Taylor's life and 
continues the book with a bibliography of about 200 
works consulted in his notes (about 20 of these are 
mineralogical in content). The history of Harwick is 
then presented covering from antiquity through the 
middle of the 17th century. The text is divided 
into the five sections of topography, natural history, 
dynastic history of the town, municipal, political or civil 
constitution of the town, and historical notes. Dale felt 
however that Taylor's section on natural history was 



somewhat lacking and so he included a long appendix 
that describes all aspects of the natural history of 
the area, including its geology and mineralogy. Dale 
provides descriptions of the fossil shells and teeth, pyrite 
and quartz crystals found in the area, some of which are 
pictured on plates 10 to 13. 

Silas Taylor. (BORN: Harley, Shropshire, England, 

16 July 1624; DIED: Harwick, England, 4 November 1678) 
English antiquarian. Taylor fought on Cromwell's side in the 
English Civil War, and he was rewarded. However, after 
the restoration of the King, he lost all that he had gained, 
but due to obligations owed him by connected persons, he 
was appointed Keeper of the King's storehouses in Harwick. 
He was a collector of all objects, especially manuscripts and 
antiquites.

DANA, Edward Salisbury. (Born: New Haven, 
Connecticut, U.S.A., 16 November 1849; DlED: New 
Haven, Connecticut, U.S.A., 16 June 1935) American 
mineralogist. 

Son of JAMES Dwight DANA, Edward was educated 
at Yale, receiving an A.B., 1870, a M.A., 1874, and a 
Ph.D., 1876. He did advanced studies at Heidelburg under 
GOLDSCHMIDT and in Vienna. He was curator of the Yale 
mineral collection from 1874 to 1922, assistant professor of 
natural philosophy, 1879 to 90, professor of physics, 1890 
to 1917, and professor emeritus from 1917. He followed 
his father and became an editor of the American Journal of 
Science in 1875. Edward held membership in the National 
Academy of Science, American Philosophical Society, and 
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He wrote 
primarily on mineralogy and physics.

Scarce. Written with the help of J AMES DwiGHT 
Dana, this work was executed with the science student 
in mind. One half of the text is occupied with 
descriptions of crystallography, physical, chemical and 
determinative mineralogy, while the other half contains 
the descriptions of species and a catalogue of American 
mineral localities. The subjects of crystallography and 
optical mineralogy are treated at length so that the 
student may acquire the special knowledge needed for 
complete mineral investigations. For this section fine 
illustrations and descriptions of the best instruments 
are given, as well as numerous diagrams and figures 
of crystals. Descriptive crystallography is covered 
with sections concerning mathematical crystallography 
following the systems of Nauman and Miller's. Each of 
these subjects is also very fully illustrated by figures. 
In addition, a chapter covering the optical characters of 
minerals, is among the finest treatments ever printed in 
the English language. Besides there is a bibliography of 
the subjects considered under physical mineralogy. 

The descriptive mineralogy of the volume follows 
in essence the classification set forth in James D. Dana's 
System of Mineralogy (5th ed., New York, 1868), and 
is in fact an abridgement of that work. All new species 
reported since the publication of the System have been 
included. However, of the species listed, the most 
common are given lengthy descriptions, while rarer ones 
are described only briefly. For fuller information, the 
student is referred to the more comprehensive System 
of Mineralogy. 

Other issues: The Textboofc was immensely popular in 
American schools of higher education and this first edition 
was reissued each year from 1877 to 1896, with no major 
changes to the text.

SCARCE. The first major revision of the Textbook, 
occurred in 1898 bringing the text up to date and making 
it a good companion to the author's System of Mineralogy 
(New York, 1892). 



Other editions and issues: The second edition of the 
Textbook continued to be very popular in mineralogy 
classes in colleges and universities throughout America. It 
was reissued almost every year from its first appearance 
to 1920. Then, the text was again revised by William E. 
Ford, and published as a "Third Edition" in 1922 (8°: ix, 
720 p., illus., diagrs.) and in 1932 as a "Fourth Edition" 
(8 : [4], iii-xi, 851 p., illus., diagrs.) when Ford did his last 
revision.

Dana 



1053-1104, "Catalogue Of American Locali- | ties Of 
Minerals."; 1105-1134, "Index To Species." 

SCARCE. Often called the sixth edition of Dana, 
this book was at its publication the single most com- 
prehensive mineralogy treatise ever published and the 
measure to which many subsequent works would be 
compared. As the author states in the preface, in the 
twenty-four years since the appearance of the previ- 
ous edition, the science of mineralogy had made rapid 
progress. This was evident in the many new period- 
icals and journals recently founded that were devoted 
in whole or in part to mineralogical pursuits, and the 
nearly one thousand new mineral species added to this 
edition of the System. 

Edward erected this comprehensive work on the 
solid foundation of the fifth edition of the System (New 
York, 1868), written by his father, J AMES DwiGHT 
DANA and GEORGE Jarvis BRUSH. From there he added 
all the latest knowledge about species and mineralogi- 
cal investigation, and created a mineralogical reference 
that rarely was supplanted by other works. In fact, 
the larger page format allowed Dana to increase the 
amount of text by about a third over the previous edi- 
tion. It was the best mineralogical work published since 
the inception of the science and soon became a standard 
in every library and geological department throughout 
America and Europe. However, it was the comprehen- 
sive nature that created its downfall. The science was 
rapidly changing because new technologies were adding 
new mineral species and invalidating many others. Al- 
though several appendices were published to keep this 
massive and at the time unique reference up to date 
[which see below], this reference became outdated by 
the rapid progress of the science. 

The introduction begins by listing the form each 
mineral species description will take. This is followed by 
comprehensive reviews of crystallography, physical min- 
eralogy, chemical mineralogy, and nomenclature. The 
introduction concludes with an extensive and impor- 
tant bibliography of mineralogy and crystallography 
[pp. xlv-lxi]. The descriptive mineralogy then com- 
mences. For each mineral, comprehensive details are 
given about the name and variants, its first description, 
the crystalline form and structure, the physical charac- 
ters such as hardness, specific gravity, optics, taste and 
odor, the chemical composition, the pyrognostic (blow- 
pipe analyses), the occurrences and associated minerals, 
alteration forms, artificial production, and references. 

Other issues: The System was very popular. The 
second printing declaring "Second Thousand" on the title 
page appeared in 1893. Consequently, the text whs issued 
many times over the next years. Like the previous fifth 
edition, three appendices were written in an attempt to 
keep the text up to date. They appeared in 1899, 1909 
and 1915 [see their descriptions below]. Although these 
appendices were bound and sold separately, in some cases 
they were also bound up at the end of the sixth edition's 
text, creating a comprehensive, though bulky book. The 
last such issue was cl937. The following list provides the 
first year and make up of these issues. 
1899, bound with 1 appendix. 
1909, bound with 2 appendices. 
1915, bound with 3 appendices.

DANA, James Dwight. (Born: Utica, New 

York, U.S.A., 2 February 1813; DIED: New Haven, 
Connecticut, U.S.A., 14 April 1895) American 
mineralogist & geologist. 

Dana was born into a merchant's family of modest 
means. Through determination and a zeal for learning he 
was able to enter Yale college where he came under the 
influence of Benjamin Silliman, professor of chemistry. It 
was this close association that nurtured Dana's interest 
in natural history and most particularly mineralogy and 
geology. Upon his graduation from Yale in 1833, Dana 
accepted the post of instructor to midshipmen aboard 
the U.S.S. Delaware. In 1836, two years after his return 
home, Silliman was able to offer Dana an assistant-ship in 
the chemical laboratory at Yale. In this position, Dana 
made many scientific contacts and doubtless this lead to 
an invitation to join the Wilkes expedition of 1838-1842. 
This enterprise is one of the great episodes in the history 
of American science. The purpose was to circumnavigate 
the globe, charting and conducting natural history surveys 
in Polynesia and confirming the existence of the Antarctic 
continent. Dana shipped out as a geologist, and when the 
expedition's conchologist was dismissed at Sydney, Dana 
took on the role of marine biologist as well. For four 
years the world was his laboratory, an experience that 
gave "Dana a competence in natural history matched in 
his own day only by Darwin's on the Beagle' [DSB]. Upon 
his return to New Haven, Dana commenced publishing 
his observations made on this remarkable voyage. This 
appeared as Zoophytes. Crustacea and Geology, a work that 
although very specialized was none the less very popular 
reading among the general public. His global experience 
also gave great merit to his arguments in support of 
Darwin's theory of evolution. When a position opened, he 
was made professor of mineralogy and geology at Yale. In 
1844, Dana married Henriette Frances Silliman [1823-1907], 
daughter of his Yale collaborator, Benjamin Silliman. 



Together they had four children, one of whom, EDWARD 
SALISBURY Dana also became a renowned mineralogist. 
Subsequently, James Dwight Dana became editor of the 
American Journal of Science, which had been founded by 
Silliman in 1818. Through this oracle, as well as teachings, 
many articles and books, Dana devoted his life to the 
expansion of scientific knowledge. Dana held membership 
in every important scientific throughout the world. He was 
the recipient of both the Copley Medal (Royal Society of 
London) and the Wollaston Medal (Geological Society of 
London), a feat few others have accomplished. In 1866, 
the silicate mineral "Danalite" was named in his honor by 
J. P. Cooke.

VERY SCARCE. One of the most significant 
contributions to American mineralogy and the science 
as a whole was made when Dana, at the youthful age 
of 24 published his System of Mineralogy. Benjamin 
Silliman reviewing the work, wrote: "On the whole, we 
believe this to be decidedly among the best treatises 
upon this subject that have ever been circulated in the 
United States, and we are of the opinion that even a 
slight examination of it, will be sufficient to commend it 
to the favor of every cultivator and lover of mineralogy." 
The text is a very complete and readable compendium 
of all mineralogical data available to that time. Thus 
this book is a fitting first entry into an extraordinary 
publishing history that would see the System's fourth 
edition define modern systematic mineralogy and see 
the System 's sixth edition become arguably the greatest 
mineralogy ever published as a single volume. 



The body of the text is divided into six distinct 
parts. Part I, titled "Crystallology" treats all manner 
of crystallographic subjects including primitive forms, 
systems of crystallization, nomenclature, and notation 
for lettering crystal drawings. A section on the 
theoretical aspects of crystals begins with a brief 
history of the science, after which Dana unfolds his 
own original views about the internal structure of 
crystals. A brief chapter on the practical aspects of 
"Crystallogeny" concludes this section. Part II, treats 
the physical characters of minerals. These include 
light, electricity, magnetism, specific gravity, hardness, 
type of fracture, color, and odor. Part III, which 
purportedly covers the chemical properties of minerals 
in essence only contains directions for the use of acids 
and the application of the blowpipe. In 1837, with a 
flood of data becoming available about the chemistry 
of minerals, it is surprising that more is not written 
about that topic in this work. Part IV treats the 
classification and nomenclature of minerals. Within 
this exposition are discussed the relative importance 
of crystallographic, physical and chemical properties in 
identifying a mineral species. Dana also discusses in 
detail the classes and orders of his natural classification, 
for which genra and species are described in the sixth 
section. Part V, "Determinative Mineralogy" contains 
two tabular classifications the objective of which is to 
enable the unaided student to arrive at the correct name 
of a mineral. The first table is arranged according 
to the system of crystallization as described in part 
I. The second table, independent of crystallographic 
data, distributes the minerals according to metallic or 
nonmetallic luster and their colored or uncolored streak. 
The species in these subdivisions are then arranged in 
the order of their hardness. 

The largest portion of the book is devoted to 
part VI, "Descriptive Mineralogy." This portion 
relies very heavily upon the system and information 
contained in Fr.EDR.ICH Mohs Grundriß der Mineralogie 
(2 vols., Dresden, 1822-24; English transi., 3 vols., 
Edinburgh, 1825). It begins with a tabular view of 
the natural classification that lists the mineral species 
under the appropriate class and order. Next comes the 
detailed description of the species, with information on 
synonyms, nomenclature, crystallization, localities with 
particular attention paid to American occurrences, and 
references to the mineralogical literature. Appendix 
A titled "Mathematical Crystallography" begins with 
the basics of geometry and relates this study of 
points, lines and planes to its practical application in 
crystallography. Appendix В gives brief remarks on 
the chemical classification of minerals. An important 
though error riddled mineralogical bibliography follows 
the appendices. A good general index and an errata 
page conclude the work. Through out the book and on 
four copper plates are figured over 250 woodcut crystal 
figures.

VERY SCARCE. The System's first edition of 1837 had 
sold out by 1842. A new edition had to be prepared and for 
this Dana retained the original format and updated the text 
with the latest discoveries. This increased the size of the 
work only slightly. The long appendix on "Mathematical 
Crystallography" was dropped in most copies. However, 
the most important change was in the appendix dealing 
with chemical classification. It has been increased from 6 
to 23 pages and it now includes a chemical formula for 
each species. Strangely, chemistry is omitted from the 
descriptive part. Also introduced in the second edition and 
a part of all subsequent nineteenth century editions was a 
"Catalogue of American Localities of Minerals." The first 
one ran to 13 pages and included localities in 25 states. 

This edition was published by Wiley and Putman as 
the "Second Edition" in 1844. A note in the preface to 
the fifth edition of Dana's System (New York, 1868) says 
it: "This edition, failing to find a publisher in New York, 
was printed at the expense of the author." However, this 
appears to have been a misstatement. In the early 1840s, 
Dana was not in a position to finance the publication of the 
second edition. Instead, Dana might have misremembered 
the circumstances. He did finance the reprinting of an 80 
page mathematical appendix that had appeared in the 1837 
edition, and had it bound up in a very few copies of the 
second edition of the System. Mention of this is made in 
the American Journal of Science review: "The mathematical 
appendix of the first edition is omitted in most of the 
present one; only a few are bound up with it for the 
satisfaction of those who wish to pursue that portion of 
the subject." The expanded work is otherwise identical to 
the more common issue, which is described above.

SCARCE. This, the third edition of the System, is a 
transitional work, clearly marking the end to the eighteenth 
century ideas that relied on a "natural history" method to 
organize mineral species, and bringing to light the use of 
chemistry in a modern classification scheme. Not beating 
around the bush, Dana announced this break in his preface: 
"To change is always seeming fickleness. But not to change 
with the advance of the science, is worse; it is persistence in 
error; and therefore, notwithstanding the former adoption 
of what has been called the "Natural History System," and 
the pledge to its support given by the author, in supplying 
it with a Latin Nomenclature, the whole system, its classes, 
orders, genera, and Latin names, have been rejected; and 
even the trace of it, which the synonymy might perhaps 
rightly bear, has been discarded." 

This cleared the slate for another classification, which 
would rely heavily on a mineral's chemistry for ordering 
the species. Dana was well aware of the difficulties this 
approach would involve in the middle of the nineteenth 
century, but he also realized that a better correlation 
of chemistry and crystallography soon would be possible. 
Therefore, he offered his new classification "simply as a 
convenient arrangement." 

In accord with this fundamental revision, Dana 
made many other changes. Chemical formulas, derived 
principally from the work of Rammelsberg, were included 
in each of the species descriptions. The crystallization 
descriptions based on Haüy were removed, although the 
Naumann indices remained, as did the stated crystal 
system. The extensive mineralogical bibliographies found 
in the first and second editions was replaced by a short 
list of major works in the subject. But some references 
to the original literature was still included in the species 
descriptions. Reading the text, it is clear that Dana had 
not yet settled in his own mind all the points of this new 
method, but the basic foundation was laid in this work. 

Supplements: Published in the American Journal of 
Science. 2nd Series were separate "Mineralogical Notices"

SCARCE. Four years after the appearance of the prior 
edition, the fourth edition of the System was published. In 
it, Dana introduces the classification of minerals which in 
its major divisions is followed to this day, and is commem- 
orated with the description, "Dana Classification." It is 
based upon a combination of chemical and crystallographic 
information, with the major divisions of species determined 
by their chemistry, while ordering within these divisions is 
determined either by isomorphism or similarity of chemical 
formula or both. 

As a necessary component of this system, the crys- 
tallographic descriptions have been overhauled. Although 
Naumann indices for crystal forms were mentioned in the 
previous editions, the method of designating forms by in- 
dices was not employed in the mineral descriptions. In this 
edition for the first time, Dana has included extensive infor- 
mation on the forms of crystals. For species rich in crystal 
forms, a diagrammatic summary of the observed forms is 
provided. 

Also included in the descriptions were extensive 
chemical information. Much of this data was based upon 
the studies of Rammelsberg's Handwörterbuch des chemis- 
chen Theils der Mineralogie (Berlin, 1841; 5 supplements, 
1843-1851), but, the chemical studies of Dana, Genth, and 
Shepard can also be found in the mineral descriptions. 

Other issues: The work was reissued in 1855 and 1858 
with no changes to the text.

Scarce. Assisted by George Jarvis Brush with 
regards to the blow pipe characteristics, the fifth edition 
of the System has a form that is familiar to present day 



mineralogists. The previous editions had included an 
extensive introduction describing the various phases of 
mineralogical and crystallographic science in addition to 
the descriptive mineralogy. In the fifth edition all but the 
descriptive part was dropped and this was provided with 
only a short introduction designed to aid the descriptive 
part. This had now grown to 805 pages, three times the 
length of the first edition published only 31 years earlier. 

In addition to fundamentally changing the character 
of the work, many improvements were made in the mineral 
descriptions. The number of references to the original 
literature was greatly increased, while the bibliography 
in the introduction was enlarged. For the first time, 
optical data was included in the mineral descriptions, but 
was limited to statements of orientation, optic sign and 
birefringence, but no indices of refraction were given. 

The publication of the fifth edition marked the end of 
James Dana's active connection with the System. The first 
appendix was brought out in 1872 by Brush. It covered 
the progress of mineralogy from 1868 to 1872, but was 
not considered to be up to the standard set by the text 
of the fifth edition. Dana's son, Edward took over the 
management of the remaining appendices, and the System 
as a whole in 1875. 

Other issues: The fifth edition of the System was 
reissued more than a dozen times. In fact, the appearance 
of the three separate appendices allowed the publisher to 
bind them with the text and reissue the combined work 
with an updated title page. This update usually consisted 
of placing the term "Sub- Edition" on the title, but with 
the pending publication of the sixth edition of the System 
in 1892, "Fifth Edition" was replaced with ever higher 
numbering in an effort to entice customers to purchase the 
remaining stock of what would soon be an obsolete text. 
The following list indicates the year of issue and the sub- 
edition number if any.

VERY SCARCE. This volume was designed as 
a textbook for practical mineralogy, aimed especially 
at American students. Its first pages treat the 
mineralogical science with regard to physical and 
chemical characters. Following this are the descriptions 
of the mineral species. All American minerals and 
other species considered important are described, while 
rarer species are set in smaller type and only briefly 
noticed. The arrangement adopted, places the ores 
of the same metal together. The descriptions of 
the ores of a metal are preceded by a paragraph 
giving brief general remarks about their characteristics. 
Information is provided about assay and reduction, 
the uses of the metal, and facts of a historical and 
statistical nature. At the end of the text are chapters 
on rocks, a catalogue of American localities of minerals, 
a table of weights, measures and coins, and a table 
for the determination of minerals. For more detailed 
information on the localities of minerals and their 
associations, the reader is directed to the author's 
comprehensive, System of Mineralogy (2nd ed., New 
York, 1844), which contains full lists of synonyms, 
complete tables for the determination of minerals, a 
more complete crystallography, and numerous chemical 
analyses with their authorities. 

Of particular interest in this volume is the 
classification scheme. The first and second edition 
of Dana's System of Mineralogy (1837 &; 1844) had 
used a natural history method, yet the classification 
adopted in the Man uai "throws together ores of the 
same metals, and associates the earthy species as far as 
possible in natural groups." Dana writes that he chose 
this method because "this order is preferred by very 
many teachers of science, and has advantages which for 
many purposes counterbalance those of a more perfectly 
natural system." It is here in the Manual then that 
Dana first breaks away from the prevailing natural 
history classification systems of mineralogy and begins 
to develop a chemically based one. Dana would switch 
to a system based solely on chemistry in the fourth 
edition of his System (New York, 1854), and rewrite 
mineral classification to the present time. 

Other issues: The discovery of gold in California in 
1849 caused the Manual to be in great demand. Many a

"forty-niner" carried a copy of Dana's Manual in their trek 
to the California and Colorado gold fields. Subsequently, 
many reissues of the work appeared. The first was in 
1849, which although the title page calls it a "Second 
edition," it is in fact a reissue of the first edition with the 
same pagination as the first. These reissues with modified 
title pages (title editions) also occurred in 1850 ("Third 
edition"), 1851 ("Fourth edition"), 1853 ("Fifth edition"), 
1854 ("Sixth edition"), and 1855 ("Seventh edition").

SCARCE. Due to the great demand for the book, Dana 
prepared a "New Edition, Revised and Enlarged" that first 
appeared in 1857. The text was increased by 22 pages 
mostly dealing with minerals of economic importance, but 
especially gold and its mineral associations. This "New 
Edition", which became a standard in schools in The 
United States, was then reissued with little or no alteration 
to the text each year from 1858 until 1876.

New York, J. Wiley &; Sons, 1878. 

8°: viii, 474 p., illus., diagrs. 

SCARCE. This is the third major revision of the 
basic book that Dana made. The book declares this 
on the title page with "Rearranged and Rewritten" and 
correctly calls it the "Third edition." Included was an 
extensive chapter on rocks (showing the rise in the science 
of petrology), and the title was changed to Manual of 
Mineralogy and Lithology. As before, the work became 
popular in classrooms throughout the United States and 
consequently the book was reissued each year from 1879 
through 1886, with varying "Editions" mentioned on the 
title page.

SCARCE. In 1887, Dana made his fourth thorough 
revision of the text bringing it current to 1886, which was 



reflected with the book being called the "Fourth Edition, 
Revised throughout and Enlarged." As with the other 
editions, this volume was aimed toward the needs of miners 
and practical mineralogists by placing together the ores of 
the same metal. Reissues of this text with varying edition 
information printed on the title pages occurred in 1887 
("Fifth edition"), 1888 ("Sixth edition"), 1889 ("Seventh 
edition"), 1890 ("Ninth edition"), 1891 ("10th ed."), 1891 
("11th ed."), and 1894-1909 ("12th ed.").

DANA, James Freeman. (Born: Amherst, New 
Hampshire, U.S.A., 23 September 1793; DIED: New 
York, New York, U.S.A., 14 April 1827) American 
mineralogist & chemist. 

In 1809, when Dana entered Harvard, he was 
particularly interested in natural history and already 
advanced in his chemical studies. During his student 
years and after his graduation in 1813, he was regarded 
as a superlative chemist and mineralogist. Consequently, 
Dana was regularly asked to analysis minerals and devise 
particular tests. In 1815 he received the Boylston prize for 
an essay on tests for arsenic. In 1815, Harvard sent Dana 
to England as a purchasing agent for chemical apparatus. 
While there, he studied for several months under Fredrich 
ACCUM. Returning in 1816, he was appointed to supervise 
the the renovation of Harvard's laboratory. In 1817, Dana 
completed advanced studies and received an M.D. from 
Harvard. Subsequently, he was hired by Harvard as an 
instructor. In 1826, Dana moved to New York to become 
professor of chemistry at the College of Physicians and 
Surgeons. He died suddenly at the early age of 33.

VERY SCARCE. Co-authored with Samuel 

Luther Dana [see note below], this early American 
topographical mineralogy is a reset, reissue of a work 
that first appeared in Mémoires of the American 
Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston (see, 4 1818, 
129-224). The Danas provide in this work a detailed 
and comprehensive introduction to the geology and 
mineralogy of the Boston area. The authors describe 
their reasons for writing the book thusly: "It is a 
common remark, that the vicinity of Boston is no field 
for the mineralogist. To this opinion we must ascribe 
the coldness and indifference, with which mineralogy 
is here treated. On great object which we have had 
in view, in preparing the following work, has been, to 
induce an examination of this opinion. It will be found, 
that more than forty simple minerals, and several rocks 
occur within a few miles of Boston; and that, if we 
cannot boast the fertility and variety of mining districts, 
we may reap a richer harvest, than can be gathered in 
many portions of our country." 

The Danas' account of the mineralogy and geology 
of Boston and vicinity grouped the minerals into 
four classes: earthy fossils, saline fossils, inflammable 
substances and metallic fossils. Among the species 
identified were lime, quartz, mica, feldspar, basalt, 
garnet, epidote, asbestos, chlorite, clay, and ores of 
copper, lead, iron, manganese. Each mineral is given 
a concise description and locality. Although it is clear 
from the text that the Danas understood the difference 
between rocks and minerals, they followed the practice 
of the time and included the rocks and soils with in 
the mineral classification. A section on the geology 
of the area, which faithfully follows Werner, has an 



accompanying a remarkably accurate map of Boston 
and its vicinity, indicating in color the surface location 
of various rock types. 

Samuel Luther Dana. (BORN: Amherst, New Hamp- 
shire, U.S.A., 11 July 1795; DIED: Lowell, Massacheusetts, 
U.S.A., 11 March 1868) American physician. Dana was the 
son of a merchant and sea captain and brother of James 
Freeman Dana. He attended Harvard, receiving his M.D. 
in 1818. He opened a medical practice, but gave it up in 
1826 to concentrate on the manufacture of sulphuric acid 
and bleaching salts. From 1830 to 1840, he was associated 
with the geological surveys of Massachusetts under Edward 
Hitchcock. Dana was considered a leading American au- 
thority on technical and agricultural chemistry.

Daubenton 



DAUBENTON, Louis-Jean-Marie. (Born: Mont- 
bard, Côte d'Or, France, 29 May 1716; DIED: Paris, 
France, 1 January 1800) French physician, anatomist 
& mineralogist. 

Daubenton was sent to Paris to study theology, 
but he preferred medicine. After receiving his M.D. in 
1741, he intended to return to his birth city to open 
a practice; however, Buffon, a school mate from his 
hometown, engaged Daubenton to assist him at the Jardin 
du Roi in Paris and his projected scientific works. In 1745, 
he was appointed curator and demonstrator at the cabinet 
of natural history. In 1778, he was appointed to a chair in 
natural history at the College de France. For the fifty years 
he was in charge of the cabinet of natural history, he made 
a great many improvements. When the Jardin du Roi was 
converted to a school in 1794, Daubenton was appointed 
professor of mineralogy.

Rare. As we learn from the 'Avertissement', 
these tables were exhibited in manuscript form during 



Daubenton's lectures in 1779 and were printed on rectos 
only so that they could be mounted on canvas. They 
were used to clarify Daubenton's classification system 
of minerals during his lectures at the Jardin du Roi. 
It is from these tables that one learns Daubenton 
divided the mineral kingdom into four orders: (1) 
stones, including precious and semiprecious, (2) fossils, 
(3) combustible substances, and (4) metallic substances. 
Classes of species within each order are derived from the 
physical and chemical properties of the minerals. As an 
appendix to this system, he included a list of volcanic 
products. 

These tables were updated and issued through 
seven editions. See their descriptions below.

VERY SCARCE. Pedro Francisco Dávila, possessor 
of the largest collection of natural history specimens in 
Paris, and wishing to establish an institution in Spain 
to preserve it, approached King Carlos III of Spain. 
But political difficulties and a approaching war with 
England distracted the king, who declined the purchase. 
Because of debts incurred building the collection, 
creditors forced Dávila to put the accumulation up for 
auction in Paris. For this purpose, a detailed collection 
catalog was required. Dávila had already written 
many descriptions, but it was his introduction through 
Balthasar Sage to the young Rome de l'Isle that 
created this remarkable record of the collection. Rome 
de l'Isle took the existing material, added considerably 
to the mineralogical descriptions, and put the catalog 
into publishable form. In this task he was assisted 
by Abbé Duguat who helped with the mineralogical 
descriptions and Abbé Gua de Malves [1712-1786] who 
described the shells. Through their efforts, two volumes 
describing natural history specimens were produced, 
one of which was entirely devoted to minerals. In 
addition, a third volume written by Rome de l'Isle 
probably with assistance from P IERRE REM Y, describes 
the fossils, artwork and books. The Dávila catalog 
(as it has become known) describes 8,096 mineral 
specimens that encompass a large range of localities, 
including a suite of specimens from Potosí in Spanish 
America. In addition, the catalog lists 5,253 shells, 600 
preserved animals, 101 plants, 3,915 fossils, 154 bezoars 
and calculi, and 402 books. Over 12,000 prints and 
engravings, 1,741 original artworks, 441 maps, as well 
as various scientific instruments and precious stones are 
also described. Thus Dávila's collection was certainly 
one of the largest ever formed, and a major auction 
event of the 18th century. 

The published catalog provides a detailed insight 
into his collection, his special tastes and preferences. 
The major value of the collection lay in its superb 
mineral specimens, many of which were finely 
crystallized examples. Rome de l'Isle fully described 
the many fine mineralogical specimens, which included 
examples of native silver from Norway, cassiterite 
from the Dutch East Indies, crocoite from Siberia, 
pyrite from Columbia, and calcite from Saxony, etc. 
Dávila had been a collector for over 20 years when 
his accumulation was auctioned. In that time, he or 
his agents had acquired specimens at other auctions, 
including those that liquidated the collections of 
ALBERTUS Seba in 1752, the Abbé Joly de Fleury in 
1755, Claude Geoffroy in 1753 and others. Dávila's 



catalog received wide distribution in Paris, London, 
Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Basle. This helped push 
the total realized by Dávila to over 800,000 Spanish 
reales, more than enough to pay of his creditors, and 
to finance a second collection, which he immediately 
began to build. Within two or three years he had again 
amassed a sizable collection, specializing in minerals, 
and selected with more knowledge and experience than 
his first collection had been. Once again he dreamed 
of establishing the cabinet in Madrid. In October 1771 
this became reality when King Carlos III agreed to take 
over his collections, with Dávila serving as director for 
life. This enormous collection eventually passed into 
the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, 
where Dávila's specimens are still preserved today.

City, New York, U.S.A., 11 September 1819) American 
physician, scientist & educator. 

De Witt was educated in medicine at the University 
of Pennsylvania, from which he received his M.D. in 
1797. He was appointed professor of medicine at Columbia 
College in 1807 and the following year a professor of 
chemistry as well. While holding the position of health 
officer for New York City, De Witt was stricken with illness 
while inspecting the Yellow fever quarantine grounds of 
Staten Island. He published a disseration, A Chemico— 
Medical Essay to Explain the Operation of Oxigen [sic] 
(Philadelphia, 1797).

Delafosse 



DELAFOSSE, Gabriel. (BORN: San Quentin, France, 
24 February 1796; DIED: Paris, France, 13 October 
1878) French mineralogist, geologist & chemist. 

However, Gabriel Delafosse (1796-1878) , not 
stopping with the only numerical data, considers that their 
chemical composition should be studied. It thus defines 
Che difference between the "integral molecule" (molecule) 
and the "chemical molecule" (atom) of the crystals. By 
seeking the provision of the atoms inside the physical 
molecule, Delafosse is one of the first, in mineralogy, 
to apply the atomic theory. From this study on the 
chemical composition of minerals result from many work 
on the conditions of crystallization. Thus isomorphism 
and polymorphism with Eilhardt Mitscherlich (1794-1863) 
will be discovered , then will appear the concepts of 
dimorphism, homeomorphism, etc.

DELAMÉTHERIE, Jean-Claude. (Born: La 

Clayette, [Maçonnais], France, 4 September 1743; 
DlED: Paris, France, 1 July 1817) French physician, 
mineralogist, geologist, biologist, chemist, & natural 
philosopher. 

Delamétherie was educated in medicine, but never 
practiced. From 1801 until his death he was professor 
of natural sciences at the Collège de France in Paris. 
In 1785, he became editor of the influential, Journal de 
Physique, a position he held until his death. He had a vivid 
imagination, which ruled his scientific thought.

firm believer in Wernerian theory, he postulates that 
all things including living organisms were originally 
crystallized from a liquid medium. He also believed that

Delamétherie 



crystallizations deep with in the earth, moving water 
and the planetary motion of the earth. Erosion, he 
thought, played no significant role in geological history, 
and no major alterations to the crust had occurred 
since the main valleys and mountains were created 
by a primordial crystallization process. Despite these 
theories, Delamétherie had a wide influence among his 
contemporaries. If the refusal of the author to accept 
the significant role erosion plays in shaping the earth 
has lessened his reputation to historians of geology, he 
was innovative in his idea about evolution, speculating 
that man was a kind of monkey improved by social 
state. 

The text of volume one is mostly mineralogical 
in character with discussions about the crystallization 
from fire of various substances, including the earths, 
airs, waters, ores, salts, stones, and precious stones. 
The general form of the earth is speculated on, as is the 
nature of electricity, magnetism, and light. Volume two 
could be considered an early volume on petrology, and 
includes discussions about various rock types including 
porphyrite, breccia, obsidian, lava, amber, coal, fossils, 
gypsum deposits, granite, as well as theories about 
volcanoes, rivers, seas and oceans. Volume three draws 
conclusions from the first two volumes and presents 
Delamétherie's overall theory.

VERY SCARCE. Translation and enlargement into 
German by the chemist Christoph Gotthold Eschenbach 
[1753-1831] and Johann Reinhold Forster of Théorie de 
la Terre (Paris, 1795). At the end of volume 3 with 
separate paging is a supplemental tract by Johann Reinhold 
Forster providing a commentary on ideas presented in 
Delamétherie's work. 

Johann Reinhold Forster. (BORN: Dirschau, Germany, 
22 October 1729; DIED: Halle/Saale, Germany, 9 December 
1798) German naturalist of Scottish heritage. Father of the 
renowned naturalist Johann Georg Adam Forster [1754- 
1794], Johann Reinhold was a man of great scientific 
attainments, but an intractable temper. Commissioned 
by empress Catherine to survey the Russian colonies of 
Saratov province, Forster quarreled with the government 
and left with his family for England. There he obtained 
a position as instructor of natural history and modern 
languages at the nonconformist academy at Warrington. 
His temper soon compelled him to resign this appointment, 
and was forced for several years to earn a living publishing 
translations. An invitation to accompany Captain Cook 
on his third voyage around the world was accepted on 
the condition that his son, Johann Georg Adam be his 
assistant. The account of these travels was published by the 
son as A Voyage round the World (London, 1777; German, 
Berlin, 1778-80), which is considered the "first example of 
the glowing yet faithful description of natural phenomena 
which has since made a knowledge of them the common 
property of the educated world." [Encyc. Brit.] After 
returning to England, Johann Reinhold landed in debtor's 
prison, but was released after receiving a professorship at 
the University of Halle, where he remained the rest of his 
life.

Des Cloizeaux 

DES CLOIZEAUX, Alfred-Louis-Olivier Legrand. 

(BORN: Beauvais, France, 17 October 1817; DlED: 
Paris, France, 6 May 1897) French mineralogist & 
crystallographer. 

Des Cloizeaux was born into a family with a long 
tradition in the legal profession. He studied at the Lycée 
Charlemagne in Paris where he came under the influence 
of A. LEVY. This association introduced Des Cloizeaux 
to the study of minerals and crystals, and influenced 
his attendance of courses on mineralogy taught by A. 
Brongniart at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle and A. 
DUFRÉNOY at the École des Mines. A friendship with Jean- 
Baptiste Biot [1774-1862], gave Des Closieaux the chance 
to become a member of a government sponsored expedition 
to Iceland to visit the sources of Iceland spar. During this 
trip, he visited many English geologists and mineralogists. 
In 1876, he was made professor of mineralogy at the 
Muséum, replacing G. Delafosse, who he had assisted 
since 1873. Des Cloizeaux remained at the Muséum until 
1892. He made major studies in the optical properties 
of minerals, particularly the chondrodites, zoisite and 
rhombic pyroxenes and amphiboles.

[Atlas] Consists of 84 plates, numbered I-LXXXIV, 
printed on 42 leaves, and showing 514 figures. 

PLATES: The forty plates contained in the text 
volumes consist of stereo net projections of various crystal 
forms of the mineral species. None are signed. The unsigned 
plates of the atlas are numbered I— LXXXIV. The first 
shows a polarizing microscope and crystal diagrams, while 
the remaining plates illustrate crystal drawings of various 
mineral species described within the text. The plates of the 
atlas are printed on both sides of the leave. 

RARE. An ambitious work that attempts to 
give a comprehensive view of the internal structure 
of minerals through the use of optical properties. 
Des Cloizeaux was an expert practioner in mineral 
optics, and his original plan had been a simple 
translation of HENRY James Br.OOKE and WILLIAM 
Hallowes Miller's edition of William Phillip's 
An Elementary Introduction to Mineralogy (6th ed., 
London, 1852). However the project grew much more 
complex as Des Cloizeaux augmented the text with 
his own copious observations on the crystallography 
and optical characteristics of the species. A large 
portion of this augmentation involved his attempt to 
firmly establish the optical properties for all known 
crystalizing minerals. Although the task was to large 
for him alone to complete, he was able to assemble 
parameters for over 500 substances, or about half of the 
mineral species known at the time. In the process, he 
was conclusively able to show some supposed species to 
be mere varieties and to discredit many other minerals 
as identical to species previously described. This 
research is included in mineralogical descriptions of the 
Manuel de Minéralogie. For a period, Des Cloizeaux's 
adoption of the crystallographic notation invented by 
René Just Haüy and enlarged by Armand Levy was 
copied in other French crystallographic works; however, 
Miller's notation eventually prevailed. Although the

VERY SCARCE. This is the last and most 

comprehensive work in a series of studies Des Cloizeaux 
published concerning the effect of heat on natural 
and artificial crystalline bodies. He discovered that 
sustained heating at a certain temperature would 
permanently alter the positions of the optic axes 
of certain crystals (notably the orthoclase minerals), 
thereby giving the geologist a method to determine if 
a certain rock had been subjected to high temperature 
deformation. It was published as, Institute Impérial de 
France, Mémoires, vol. 18.

DEZALLIER D'ARGENVILLE, Antoine Joseph. 

(BORN: Paris, France, 4 July 1680; DlED: Paris, France, 
29 November 1765) French naturalist. 

Dezallier was born the son of a prosperous Paris 
bookseller. He studied at the College du Plessis, and 
from 1713 to '16 in Italy. After his return to France, 
he purchased the post of secretary to the King, and 
became Maitre des Comptes in 1733 and counselor to 
the King in 1748. In 1716, he settled in Paris where he 
acquired a reputation as an expert collector of objects of 
art and curiosities of nature. Further travels to Germany, 
Holland, and England widened his circle of acquaintance 
and enlarged his collection of objects. Besides his works 
in natural history, D'Argenville is most well-known for his 
work on the life of artists, Abrégé de la Vie des plus Fameux 
Peintres (Paris, 1745-52, 1762). Dezallier became member 
of the Société Royale des Sciences de Montpellier in 1740, of 
the Royal Society of London in 1750, and of the Académie 
de La Rochelle in 1758.

SCARCE. An impressive compilation of 18th century 
mineral knowledge. Dezallier's introduction provides a 
critical review of past authors and their books. This is 
followed by a précis of his mineralogical system that gives 
a tabular arrangement of minerals, stones and precious 
gems, that is immediately followed by a detailed discussion 
of the classification. Dezallier recognized three classes 
of minerals: Terres (earths), Pierres (stones), and all 
others. Within each, groupings are differentiated primarily 
by physical properties such as color, form, weight, etc. 
The author claims this method was new because it 
follows the natural and apparent qualities of the species 
it distributes; however, its principles were set forth by 
several predecessors, the earliest of whom was AGRÍCOLA. 
A final section provides an excellent and detailed account 
of the mineralogy of France. Accompanying and scattered 
throughout the text are 26 finely engraved plates. These 
illustrations that rank among the best natural history 
engravings of the 18th century show minerals, stones, 
fossils, coral, birds and fish. 

L'Histoire Naturelle was first printed in 1742, in 
a single volume that dealt with both mineralogy and 
conchology; however, in later editions, these two subjects 
were split into individual books, revised and expanded, 
and issued as independent works. Therefore, the second, 
third and fourth editions of the volume concerning minerals 
and petrifaction's appeared respectively in this second 
edition of 1755, 1760 and 1775, and the part dealing with 
conchology had second and third editions in 1757 and 1780.

DlOSCORIDES 



DlOSCORIDES, Pedacius. Greek botanist. 

According to tradition, Dioscorides from the Greek 
city of Anazarbus, studied botany in Tarsus in Asia 
Minor. He appears to have been a physician to the Roman 
military, and had wide practical experience in pharmacy 
and medicine. He traveled extensively through the regions 
surrounding the Mediterranean. Around the year A.D. 65 
he composed in Greek a treatise on medicinal substances 
that was to have a profound influence in the history of 
medicine. The treatise became the basis of subsequent 
books on materia medica for centuries. The treatise 
consisted of five books, to which two books (on poisonous 
plants and animals) was later added and falsely attributed 
to Dioscorides.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. This is 
the most important classical work on medicines 
derived from animal, vegetable and mineral sources. 
Dioscorides, a Greek, lived in the age of Claudius 
and Nero about the middle of the first century. 
A botanist, military physician and pharmacologist 
of wide personal experience, he wrote in Greek an 
encyclopedia of Materia Medica in five books (| X 
Xj( x), which embodied all his knowledge of pharmacy 
and applied botany in a better arrangement and more 
completeness than earlier compilations. Dioscorides 
descriptions cover more than 600 plants, 35 animals 
and in Book V 90 minerals, with explanations on their 
pharmaceutical preparation and medical properties. 
This work remained authoritative for over fifteen 
centuries through numerous manuscript copies and 
Middle Age translations into Latin, Armenian and 
Arabic. Many of the preserved manuscript copies are

De Materia Medica, 1478 

richly illustrated with fine paintings of plants and other 
medical substances. Occasionally, especially in 13th- 
century Baghdad, manuscripts also included paintings 
of physicians preparing the medicinals. With the advent 
of printing it became a popular and standard desk 
reference for the physician and the laymen alike, with 
many different editions appearing to modern times. 
So many editions and issues in fact appeared that 
Dioscorides single work could be the subject of a 
substantial bibliography by itself. 

Other editions & translations: Dioscorides who had 
always been a popular authority, was printed twice in 
the fifteenth century. The first of these appearances was 
the Latin editio princeps printed from the translation 
with commentary prepared by Peter of Abano [cl250- 
1316]. It was printed in 1478 by John of Medemblick 
at Colle di Val d'Eisa, located in the province of Siena 
about thirty miles south of Florence. This translation 
and commentary appeared again at Lyons in 1512, but 
subsequently were succeeded by two new Latin translations 
made directly from the Greek. These were published in 
1516 in Venice and Paris, the first prepared by Ermolao 
Bárbaro [1454-1495], who added a commentary entitled 
Corollarium and the second done by Jean Ruel [cl447- 
1537]. Between 1478 and 1600 there were thirty-six 
Latin commentaries involving ninety-six separate printings. 
During this same time, forty-three separate books were 
rendered in translation to the modern languages of Italian, 
French, German, Czech, Spanish, Dutch, English, and 
Arabic. The second appearance of Dioscorides during the 
incunabula period was a Greek edition published at Aldus 
press in July 1499. During the next century five more 
editions of the Greek text appeared. These statistics reflect 
only the direct impact. If the imitators of Dioscorides or 
those who based part of their work on his work are included, 



hundreds of additional titles could be included.

VERY RARE. Preface by Antoine de Toledo. Second 
edition of the translation in alphabetical order attributed 
to Constantinus Africanus, with the commentary of Petrus 
de Abano, used for the first printed edition of Dioscorides 
printed by Johannes de Medemblick in Colle di Val 
d'Eisa in 1478. Considering the overwhelming dominance 
over pre-Renaissance herbal writings of the Dioscordean 
corpus of medicinal plants and "associative" classification 
of plants by similarities of form or medicinal application 
(cf. Grolier/Norman, pp. 18-19), it is surprising that 
Medemblick's edition and the Aldine edino prineeps (1499) 
were the only editions of the text to appear in the fifteenth 
century and that the first illustrated edition did not appear 
until 1543. The first Latin translation of Dioscorides, 
which followed his original non-alphabetic arrangement, is 
thought to date back to the sixth century or earlier. The 
present translation, ascribed in a 13th century Bamberg 
manuscript to Constantine the African (d. 1087) is a 
reworking of this early Latin version, with the entries 
rearranged in serni alphabetical order (by first letter only) 
and some material discarded, and with approximately a 
third of the text taken from other Latin, Greek and 
Arabic sources. Peter of Abano 's glosses were added in the 
fourteenth century. This medieval translation was soon 
to be superseded by the Latin translations of Errnolao 
Bárbaro and Jean Ruel, both first published in 1516, 
and both of which returned to the original Dioscordean 
text, with its explicit rejection of alphabetical order as 
antithetical to the proper understanding of the particular 
qualities and applications of plants.

epistle by Johannes Soter. 

First Edition of Barbaro"s commentary. Dioscorides 
was a Greek physician who lived in the first century of the 
Christian era. He became a military surgeon under the 
Roman Emperor Nero and was a contemporary of Pliny. 
He wrote De Materia Medica (about 77 A.D.) which gave 
medicinal properties and some botanical information for 
about 600 plants. For about 1500 years, it was the supreme 
authority due to the practical nature of its contents, 
and it has been called the "most successful botanical 
textbook ever written." Dioscorides was believed to have 
had his medical training in Alexandria. He traveled widely 
and made observations on plants from the standpoint of 
their medical uses. He described roots, stems, leaves 
and sometimes flowers.. For centuries no drug plant was 
considered genuine unless it could be identified by the 
descriptions given by Dioscorides. " Errnolao Bárbaro 
(1454Ñ1493), Italian humanist scholar, was born at Venice 
on the 21st of May 1454. At an early age he was sent 
to Rome, where he studied under Pomponius Laetus. 
He completed his education at the university of Padua, 
where he was appointed professor of philosophy in 1477. 
"Errnolao Bárbaro was a humanist of the first generation: 
not only did he translate several Greek texts into Latin 
imitating CiceroOs prose, but also, before translating a 
text, he gathered as many manuscripts as possible to 



check the text, avoiding the mistakes provoked by manual 
copying. At the same time, Bárbaro commented on the 
classical texts of the Naturalis Historia by Pliny and the De 
Materia Medica by Dioscorides. Like his contemporaries, 
he compared the two works and noticed that they present 
similar data." Marcello Vergilio "There was extraordinary 
charm in this man" s winning expression and cultivated 
speech and, when he was lecturing to his young pupils 
from the platform or speaking to a group of listeners, he 
displayed a wide learning remarkable from its very variety. 
Moreover, he served the state as Chancellor, an office which 
Aretino and Poggio had held before him, and, when he 
had the leisure, he was accustomed to devote it to a third 
occupation. For at the urgent request of the Medici he had 
undertaken to translate all Dioscorides and he hoped to win 
from this task no mean glory, since from early youth he had 
toiled with most painstaking industry at the very difficult 
subject of botany. " VD 16 D 1998 & В 349. Adams D655.

of botany that the world of learning knew of during siix- 
teen centuries were the best title to botanical greatness, 
to Dioskorides would readily be concorded the absolute 
supremacy over al other botanists, not only of antiquity 
but for all time. ..One may fairly say that the greater part 
of all the new botanical matter published during the whole 
of the 16th century, and a part of the 17th, came out in 
the form of annotations upon the text of Dioskorides." [E.

qualified, or sometimes opposed Dioscorides' teachings. 
'Until well into the seventeenth century ... all botanical 
studies were based on this book, and the greater part of 
any new botanical matter published in the sixteenth and 
seventeenth centuries was in the form of a commentary on 
Dioscorides' (Printing and the mind of man). Already in 
1543 (the same printer; 595 woodcuts) Ryff had edited Jean 
Ruel's standard translation (first, 1516), which was con- 
sidered the most reliable over the following four centuries, 
together with commentaries by Lonicer, and Ryff himself. 
Valerius Cordus 'had wrought out more results than had 
his older contemporaries Brunfels, Tragus, and Fuchs com- 
bined. In his repeated journeyings to the great forests and 
wildest mountain districts, it is estimated that he discov- 
ered several hundred new plants ... Cordus took his degree 
in medicine at the University of Wittemberg [1531], and 
there shortly after gave regular lectures on Dioscorides, and 
with such marked acceptance that to the audience of med- 
ical students certain professors joined themselves ... The 
Annotations on Dioscorides [pp 449-533], being a kind of 
abstract of his Wittemberg lectures, were not published 
until five years after his death [in 1544], and were never 
prepared for the press by Cordus himself; perhaps not 
even so much as once written down by him at any time, 
for the printer's copy, when it came to the printing, con- 
sisted of the notes of a student who had been his audi- 
tor, whose notebook was found available' (Greene, Land- 
marks of Botanical Science p 370). In these Wittemberg 
lecture notes Cordus adds many details to Dioscorides' de- 
scriptions, distinguishes between variants and their differ- 
ent habitats, and points out errors in the ancient botanical 
and pharmacological literature, frequently referring to his 
own, and sometimes to his father's observations. Having 
discovered and described many species for the first time in 
the Historia plantarurn, of which the first four books seem 
to have been completed by 1540 (printed first in 1561), 
Greene calls Cordus 'the first in all history to have formu- 
lated for himself a definitive plan or model of botanical de- 
scription ... The boldest innovation that was made by any 
botanist of the whole sixteenth century, in whatever part 
of Europe, was that of Valerius Cordus when he proceeded 
to describe anew, and according to his own phytographic 
scheme, some of the best-known and even best-described 
plants of Dioscorides' (pp. 375-6). In 1534 Valerius' fa- 
ther, Euricius, had published the 'Botanologicon, [which] 
is generally considered to be the first attempt at a scien- 
tific systematization of plants' (DSB). The index of this 
groundbreaking work is printed here, on pages 534 to 541, 
for the first time. Gessner's Nomenclature (starting on p 
541) clarifies obscure plant names used by Dioscorides by 
giving their synonyms used in other texts. 'Gessner's ap- 
pendix Herbarum nomenclaturae which contained names 
of plants according to Dioscorides was added because ... 
[Dioscorides' work] had by then become known as a botani- 
cal reference work' (Wellisch). The majority of illustrations 
in this edition are taken from Rösslin's herbal; about 200 
are from Fuchs. The depictions of kitchen and pharmaceu- 
tical utensils, foodstuffs and processed materia medica are 
modelled on those of sixteenth-century Regimens.

VERY SCARCE. First Edition prepared by Jacques 
Goupyl. It is based on Paris manuscripts with 

scholia. "Diese Ausgabe wird wegen guten Textes, 

Correctheit, netter und bequemer Ausstattung sehr 
geschätzt" (Ghoulant). "For fifteen hundred years, the 
writings of Dioscorides - were regarded as the ultimate 
authority on materia medica. Dioscorides described more 
than six hundred plants - was the first to write about 
its [opium's] virtues, to point out its great benefits 
in the relief of pain, insomnia, and chronic cough - 
the first to describe the medicinal usefulness of aloes, 
ammoniac, aconite, and ginger - HE WAS THE FIRST 
TO STATE THE NEED FOR TESTING THE PURITY 
OF DRUGS - DIOSCORIDES RECOGNIZED FAMILY 
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PLANTS SEVENTEEN 
CENTURIES BEFORE LINN^US - The revival of the 
teachings of Dioscorides during the Renaissance laid the 
foundations for scientic botany and pharmacy" (Notable 
Medical Books p. 21). Physician Jean Ruel's Latin 
translation parallels the complete Greek text, which was 
printed once more in the 16th century and not again until 
1829. Undoubtedly of interest to courtiers, BOOK VI 
TREATS POISONS and Books VII and VIII poisonous

RARE. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, 
there was a debate concerning the origins of meteorites. 
Many believed they were developed in the earth's upper 
atmosphere through some unknown process, while a 
minority supposed they originated outside the earth's 
atmosphere. In this monograph, Diruf supports the 
theory of formation in the earth's atmosphere, referring 
to meteorites as "Luftsteine" (=air- stones).

for the beginner, the text includes much practical ad- 
vice on the laboratory procedures, materials, and tech-

Oddly, the literature Dittler cites ignores all similar 
works of the French chemists and mineralogists, instead 
referencing only German books on chemistry and chem- 
ical manufacture.

Dobson married in Scotland but emigrated to the 
United States in the spring of 1784. He opened a bookshop 
in Philadelphia in 1785 and was soon established as one of 
the leading dealers of medical, professional and scientific 
books in the United States. In the post Revolutionary 
period he was noted for printing America editions of recent 
British publications. To sell his merchandise, he cultivated 
close relationships with the local scientific societies and the 
faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, where Dobson 
met many potential customers. Several set backs through 
the years caused his business to fail and for Dobson to die 
in obscurity.

Puerto Rico, 16 September 1850; DIED: Kolbnitz, 
Carinthia, Austria, 8 August 1930) Austrian mineralo- 
gist & geochemist. 

Doelter's father emigrated to Puerto Rico where he 
married his mother, a wealthy plantation owner. With his 
mother he moved to Karlsruhe, Baden in 1855, entering the 
lyceum in 1860. He studied chemistry, physics, mineralogy 
and geology at the University of Freiburg in Breisgau and 
at Heidelberg. In 1876, Doelter was appointed assistant 
professor of mineralogy and petrology at the University 
of Graz. He was named full professor in 1883. He 
succeeded G. TSCHERMAK at the University of Vienna in 
1911. Through his work in physical-chemical mineralogy, 
he is considered one of the founders of modern petrology.

he presents basic ideas and gives numerous examples 
that illustrate the application of chemistry to mineral 
science. Allgemeine chemische Mineralogie collects 
together all facts pertaining to chemical mineralogy 
and presents the information in a logical order. After 
a discussion of crystal structure and its relation 
to chemistry and isomorphism, simple methods of 
chemical analysis are described. Then the author 
presents the subject of mineral synthesis in a lengthy 
section. He defines his terminology carefully and 
carries it forward in his text. He divides the synthesis 
into two parts: recrystallization of mineral substances 
already prepared, and production of minerals and 
their crystallization. Under each are given practical 
methods, followed by brief comments on the results of 
experimentation. Nearly every synthesis that had been 
published up to the time may be traced with the aid 
of this book. The last sections of the volume deal with 
chemical changes affected by temperature, the action 
of solvents, the forms of minerals in nature, and the 
chemical constitution of minerals.

Doelter is credited with cofounding a new discipline 
which can be directly traced to the modern day 
studies of geochemistry and to a lesser extent petrology. 
Topics of the volume include cystal structure, size 
of crystal molecules, polymorphism, isomorphism, 
relationship between chemistry and crystallography, 
and the relationship between a mineral's hardness and 
its chemistry.

RARE, especially in complete sets. One of the 
great compilations in mineralogy, this work published 
over the course of twenty years included chemical- 
mineralogical descriptions from many collaborators, but 
Doelter authored about half of the material. Originally 
the work was intended to be completed by 1914 in two 
or three volumes, but the good reception of the first 
sections and the large number of new mineral species 
discovered during its publication, caused the Handbuch 
der Mineralchernie to balloon. The series' focus was on 
the chemistry of the minerals with little attention paid 
the natural occurrences of the species, and although of 
interest to mineralogists it is actually more important 
as a compilation in the early history of geochemistry 
studies. Each volume has its own author and subject 
index, while the final volume contains a general index 
to the complete work. H. Leitmeier became a coeditor 
in 1925 and after Doelter's death full editor on the last 
volume.

RARE. Compiled by Dionysius van de Wijnpersse 
and Sebald J. Brugmans. This is a sales catalog of 
the large collection of natural history specimens and 
minerals formed by the Dutch gynecologist Wouter 
van Doeveren, together with smaller collections of 
surgical and scientific instruments. It lists items sold at 
public auction on April 18, 1785 and subsequent days, 
and includes upwards of 500 specimens of mammals, 
amphibia, insects, etc., 2,660 specimens of minerals, 58 
lots of obstetric, ophthalmological and other surgical 
instruments, and 114 lots of various objects including 
scientific apparatus. The 4-page introduction by 
Dionysius van de Wijnpersse deals with the collection 
of minerals, by far the richest of the selections. Engel 
records that some of these minerals went to the 
University of Leiden.

DOLOMIEU, Dieudonné Sylvain Guy Tancrède. 

(BORN: La Tour-Du-Pin, France, 23 June 1750; DlED: 
16 November 1801) French mineralogist. 




DOLOMIEU 



Dolomieu was born to aristocratic French parents on 
June 24, 1750. His father got him inducted into the Order 
of Malta at age 2 and enlisted in the army at the age of 
4. By 16, he was a second lieutenant and shipping out 
with the Order of Malta. In 1768 he killed a man in 
a duel and was sentenced to life in prison. Intercession 
on the part of government officials and the Pope gained 
his release to a regiment at Metz. Dolomieu learned the 
natural sciences from a pharmacist there and fell in love 
with his daughter, Mademoiselle Thyrion. By the late 
1770s, Dolomieu had published some essays and established 
himself as a mineralogist and geologist. He resigned from 
the military in 1779, aged 29. 

In the 1780s, Dolomieu traveled extensively in Spain, 
Sicily, Italy, and France. He became an authority on 
volcanism and his 1788-1789 expedition in the Trentino 
and Tyrol districts resulted in naming of the particular 
type of rock found in this region dolomite. Dolomieu's 
life was a little different from the average MIT geologist's, 
though. In 1786 he wrote "Every moment that is not spent 
in the company of the most loving of women is spent at the 
Laboratory of Natural Science." 

In 1797, Dolomieu sailed for Egypt with Bonaparte. 
In failing health, he left Alexandria in 1799 to return to 
France. A storm forced the boat into port at Taranto 
(in the south of Italy) which happened to be part of the 
Kingdom of Two Sicilies, with which France was at war. 
The prevailing state of hostilities landed Dolomieu in prison 
for 21 months, during which he was mistreated due to 
a denunciation by angry rivals in the Order of Malta. 
Bonaparte's victory over the Court of Naples in Feburary 
1801 finally resulted in Dolomieu's freedom and return to 
Paris. He died on November 28, 1801 of a "putrid fever."

VERY SCARCE. One of the author's most important 
books, which is concerned with the volcanoes of the 
Lipari Islands in southern Italy. This account of the 
volcanic activity in the Lipari Islands was, with his 
other volcanic researches, 'a worthy continuation' of 
Sir William Hamilton's work. Unlike his predecessors, 
Dolomieu did not confine himself to describing the 
superficial aspects of volcanic mountains and their 
eruption but studied lavas, loose ejecta, sublimations, 
etc., and compared these volcanic products with other 
rocks. He showed that all transitional stages exist 
between the coarsely crystalline lavas and the glassy 
rocks and confirmed the igneous origin of basalt. The 
Dolomites are named after him (Zittel pp. 96-97).

DOMEYKO 



Rare. This book, Dolomieu's last, examines the 
defects in previously published mineral classification 
systems and attempts to define the direction mineralogy 
should take to frame a correct system. When it was 
written, practical mineralogy was distinguished from 
philosophical mineralogy. The latter term as used in 
the title of this work refers to the investigation of 
mineralogical properties such that general truths about 
all minerals may be deduced. 

After a short introduction, in which the 
philosophy of mineralogy is defined, Dolornieu considers 
in this work the nature, concept and definition of 
"mineral species." In the text he reflects upon 
the pervailing knowledge and theories, and discusses 
mineralogical species in general, why do species exist, 
the chemical makeup of minerals, what represents a 
mineral species, what modifies a species, the properties 
of minerals, analogsto mineral species, the classification 
of mineral species, improper mineralogical species and 
Dolomieu's definition of a mineral species.

Domeyko 



DOMEYKO, Ignacio. (BORN: Niedzwiadka, Near 
Nowogrodck, Poland, 31 July 1802; DlED: Santiago, 
Chile, 23 January 1889) Polish mineralogist & 
naturalist. 

Domekyo's original Polish name was Zegota Dornejko. 
He studied natural history at the University of Wilno 
from 1817 to 1822; however, after taking part in a Polish 
insurrection against the Russian authorities, he was obliged 
in 1831 to emigrate to France. There he continued his 
education at the Sorbonne under Jean Dumas [1800-1884] 
and F.S. Beudant and at the École des Mines under 
O.P. A. P. DUFRENOY and Jean Elié de Beaumont [1798- 
1874]. He was appointed professor of chemistry and 
mineralogy at the college in Coquimbo, Chile in 1838. 
Then in 1846 he accepted an appointment to the University 
of Santiago, 1846, rising to the position of University 
Chancellor in 1867. He made many excursions throughout 
South America studying natural history and mineralogy.

VERY SCARCE. Since the appearance of the second

numerous articles had appeared to keep the work up 
to date. At the time, this was the best authority on 
the mineralogy of Chile, Peru, Bolivia and portions of 
Argentina, and when this edition became available it 
was immediately recognized as a major work. It is 
written as a textbook with the preliminaries covering the 
basic definitions, morphological crystallography, fracture, 
cleavage, texture, color, and chemical characters. The 
second part of the work is a standard descriptive 
mineralogy, arranged on the four classes of (1) metals, (2) 
minerals with no contained metals, (3) silicates and (4) 
combustibles. The text incorporates a large number of 
new facts, due mostly to the labors of the author himself.

The minerals of Chili and the neighboring republics are in 
many cases of peculiar interest, and the knowledge of their 
mineralogy is the result of the author's efforts in spreading 
the results of his investigations through his publications.

entry. Otherwise this monumental work is a remarkable 
and largely unkown book that has a comprehensive 
description of the principal minerals and geology of 
Chile, Bolivia, Peru and several provinces of Argentina. 
The first two volumes concern mineralogy and act as a 
general text book on the science, together with a long 
descriptive mineralogy. Here the various mineral species 
known to occur in these region of South America are 
given together with physical and chemical details and 
notes on their localities. Volumes four and five treat 
methods of assaying and the geology of the region.

of a doctor, ritenutosi defamed from some appreciations 
expressed in the work; endured after it was found implied 
in the famous controversy on the magic, that it followed 
to the publication of Of the nocturnal conference of 



the Tartarotti, in the which volume, in appendix, the 
Tartarotti had printed its epistle on the wizards and the 
witches, with a confutazione in which, between the other, it 
advanced the suspicion that the thesis of the Carli was from 
considering itself heretical. The Carli it allegated to have 
written to the Tartarotti not to publish the dissertation, 
but these it denied to never have received the letter. In the 
controversy, that it attests the spread caught up from the 
Italian rationalism, the Carli - than but it endured only 
some attack from Jesuits of Venice - much marginal part 
had, and was defended from the MafFei. The episode but 
admonished it to star far away from the radical positions 
which, of the rest, its nature did not tilt. It found comfort 
and svago, then, in some travels, between which one along

from the chair of Padova, than it did not answer to its real

VERY RARE. This is Drapiez' classification 

scheme for ores and minerals. The preliminary text 
briefly describes physical and chemical properties before 
reviewing previous methods of mineral classification. 
This is followed by a discussion of the physical 
characteristics, such as elasticity, ductility, electrical 
and magnetic properties that can be used to classify 
minerals and ores. Drapiez then employs Lamarck's 
tabular method to mineralogy by segregating the 
mineral species into a series of ten very large (67 x 
55 cm), double page tables. The tables are: (a) 
Distribution des Minéraux selon Haüy, (b) Tableau 
Analytique des Minéraux, Substances Acidifères, (c) 
Substances Terreuses, (d) Substances Combustibles 
non Métalliques, (e) Substances Métalliques, consisting 
of three tables, and three Appendices. Throughout 
Drapiez uses Haüy's classification system as a 
foundation. 

Other issues fc editions: Cole (1988) believes that the 
work went "through a number of éditons." They are most 
likely reissues of the original text. They include, Paris, 
1809 and Lille, n.d. [cl812].

RARE. A remarkable catalog of a large and famous 
collection of minerals, fossils, gems, rocks and objects 
made from stone. Based on the text, Dreé divided 
his museum into eight collections dealing with: I. 
Mineralogy. II. Rocks and Stones, including meteorites. 
III. Products of Volcanoes, such as lava, basalt and 
other ejecta. IV. Fossilized Organic Bodies. V. Rocks, 
Stones and ornamental plaques made of stone, including 
jades, marbles, alabaster, malachite and hematite. VI. 
Precious Gems. VII. Engraved Stones and Agates. 
VIII. Monuments and Statues carved in stone. Through 
out the text, Drée has added a good commentary that 
enhances the specimen descriptions. The supplemental 
material at the end describes the latest additions to 
his collection including precious stones, engraved agates 
and monuments. The twelve fine plates by the designer 
La Guiché and engraved by Lecerf illustrate some 
of the better specimens from the collection including 
faceted gems, a fine dendritic agate, engraved gems 
and other ornamental objects. Over the years through 
auctions Drée sold off various sections of his museum; 
however, the mineral collection consisting of about 
15,000 specimens was ultimately acquired en bloc by the 
Musée de Minéralogie de l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure 
des Mines in Paris in 1845.

VERY SCARCE, published in an edition of 250 
examples. This is a comprehensive, classified catalog 
of JOSEPH Banks' extraordinary library of natural 
history works. Each of the first four volumes 

is devoted to a specific discipline: (1) general 
writings, including works on museums, (2) zoology, (3) 
botany, and (4) mineralogy. While the last volume 
contains supplemental titles to the four volumes and a 
comprehensive author index to the set. A particularly 
interesting fact about this fine library is that it was 
acquired by the British Museum en bloc, and the 
individual titles can still be examined there.

Translated title: Beginning mineralogy following 
Werner, prepared for the academic student by F. 
Drzewiñskiego. 

RARE. Poczatki Mineralogii is probably the 
first textbook concerning mineralogy in the Polish 
language. It was written out of necessity to accompany 
the author's mineralogical course at the University of 
Wilna, there being no other suitable text in Polish. 

The volume closely follows Wernerian principals 
by first discussing Oryctognosy or the physical 
characters of minerals, followed by relatively detailed 
descriptions of the minerals. A section on Geognosy is 
appended. The work finishes with Polish and Russian 
indexes to the minerals mentioned.

VERY RARE. This volume investigates meteorites 
and various aspects of mineralogy and palaeontology, 
including salt, coal, metals, and various gems. Although 
written for the general public, it is a valuable scientific 
contribution for its comparisions of mid- seventeenth 
century theories to the ancient explanations of minerals.

RARE. A beautifully produced catalog of the 
important collection brought together by Father Claude 
du Molinet as an annex to the library of the abbey 
of Sainte-Geneviève in Paris. In his preface, Du 
Molinet writes that his guiding principle in building the 
collection of rare and curious objects was the should 
'be utilized in science, mathematics, astronomy, optics, 
surveying, natural history.' The collection was boosted 
by the acquisition of the greater portion of Fabri de 
Peiresc's [see note below] collection which consequently 
propelled du Molinet's effort into the first ranks of 
French collections. 

Du Molinet divided the collection into two main 
sections, Antiquities and Natural History. The first 
is divided into those objects relating to (a) Christian 
religion, (b) the religion of the Egyptians and Romans, 
(c) the rites of burial, (d) Roman weights and measures. 
Coins, medals, engraved gems, talismans, and lamps 
then followed. The Natural History was divided into 
birds, animals, fish, fruits, plants, shells, stones and 
minerals. 

The physical arrangement of the collection is 
carefully recounted in this catalog. Facing the entrance 
was a display of clothes and weapons from Persia, India 
and America, above which were three tiers of urns, 
lamps, nautical instruments, and other antiquities. 
Flanking this were two cabinets with specimens of 
petrifications, Indian birds, animals and footwear 
from various locations. Above were objects from 
China, various corals and other marine growths. The 
other sides of the room contained walnut cabinets 
containing the medal collection, which included Greek, 
Roman, Hebrew silver coins, papal medals, talismans 
and coins from far east countries. Other cabinets 
housed scientific instruments, precious and semi-

precious stones, minerals, shells, stuffed animals and 
preserved fish. Bear spaces on the walls were hung 
with paintings, including a series of twenty-two pastel 
portraits of the Kings of France. The excellent plates of 
Ertinger, illustrate the room that housed the collection 
and also two large views of the library's interior, with 
a view of the Paris skyline visible through an open 
window. 

Fabri de Peiresc. (BORN: 1580; DIED: Aix, France, 

1637) French scholar & naturalist. Peiresc was a profound 
antiquarian who devoted his lifetime to scholarly persuits, 
travel, and correspondence with other scholars. He 
accumulated a library and collection of antiquities and 
natural curiosities from all parts of the world. But it 
is recorded that as quickly as many objects came into 
his possession he would gift them to other deserving 
scholars. For example, Athanasius Kircher records that 
many Egyptian items came into the Museum Kircherianium 
through Peiresc 's generosity.

France, 13 August 1763; DIED: Nantes, France, 11 
January 1836) French apothecary. 

Born the son of a goldsmith, Dubuisson was 
apprenticed as an apothecary, eventually opening a shop 
on rue Quéles in 1788 in his native Nantes. He had an 
interest in the natural sciences and collected specimens 
of all the minerals, plants and animals he encountered. 
Eventually, he gave these important collections to the city 
of Nantes. There they constituted a museum of natural 
history, which opened to the public on 15 August 1810. 
On the occasion, Dubuisson gave a commemerative speech. 
He was one of the founders of the Société Académique de 
Nantes (Academic Society of Nantes).

paleontological and geological samples found in the 
region of the Loire-Inférieure in northwest France. 
The specimens described were almost all collected by 
Dubuisson on one of his many excursions within France. 
In the introduction he describes the terrain encountered 
and the best collecting areas. This is followed by a 
descriptive catalog of the specimens, including quartz, 
calcite, silver minerals, pyromorphite, rnimetite, etc. At 
the end is an index of the various mineral synonyms and 
at table of contents. A large folding map, accompanying 
but not bound into the text, providesan overview of the 
region and the various locales from which specimens 
originated. The specimens described subsequently

SCARCE. Premier edition with the text dedictated 
to Buffon, the celebrated anthropologist and friend of 
Voltaire, whose monumental Natural History, published 
in 1746 in 36 volumes. In France, in the later eighteenth 
century, it was a popular passtime to collect objects of 
natural history. Duchesne's Manual helped guide the 
collector in his hobby. It is printed in two columns 
and contains the Latin and geographical names of all 
manner of natural history objects, including minerals.

512 p., 426 p., 487 p., 368 p., 8 plates. 

Scarce. Co-authored with P.-J. Macquer [see note 
below] this French natural history encyclopaedia was 
intended for voyagers and museum visitors. In the later 



part of the eighteenth century the "Cabinet of Curiosity" or 
small privately owned museum was flourishing in England 
and throughout Europe. During this time an interest in 
natural history was fashionable and this type of reference 
work would have been essential for the library of the well- 
educated European. The text is a good indicator of the 
level of understanding and knowledge of natural history at 
that time. 



Pierre Joseph Macquer. 

October 1718; DIED: Paris, 
French physician & chemist. 



(BORN: Paris, France, 9 

France, 15 February 1784) 

Macquer was professor of 



chemistry at the Jardin du Roi in Paris, as well as the 
overseer at the royal porcelain manufacturing plants in 
Serves. Macquer wrote several highly regarded textbooks 
in chemistry and physics. He was elected a member of the 
Académie des Sciences in Paris in 1845.

DUFRENOY, Ours Pierre Armand Petit. (Born: 

Sevran, France, 5 September 1742; DlED: Paris, France, 
20 March 1857) French mineralogist & geologist. 

Dufrénoy studied at the Ecole Polytechnique and 
Ecole des Mines in Paris. He was named engineer of mines 
in 1818, and assumed the rôle as head of the collections 
of the Ecole des Mines. At that same institution, he 
was appointed an assistant professor of mineralogy in 
1827, becoming a full professor in 1835. In 1846, he was 
named director of the school, and in that capacity he was 
responsible for modernizing the curriculum. In 1822, under 
the supervision of Brochant de ViLLiERS, Dufrénoy and 
BEAUMONT were selected by the government to carry out the 
necessary field work to prepare the first modern geological 
map of France. This research occupied Dufrénoy until 1841 
when the map was published. After Brongniart's death 
in 1847, he was appointed professor of mineralogy at the 
Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. He was made a member 
of the Académie des Sciences in 1840 and in 1843 the 
Geological Society of London presented Dufrénoy and Elie 
de Beaumont the Wollaston Medal for their geological map.

the year 1820 a copy of Greenough's map of England 
and Wales having been sent to the Ecole des Mines 
at Paris, the desire arose to provide France with a 
similar compendium of its geology. Accordingly, two 
engineers of the Mines Department, Beaumont and 
Dufrénoy, were, in 1822, sent to England where they 
spent six months studying the principles on which the 
English map had been constructed, and other subjects 
connected with the project." (Geikie) Its publication 
exerted a powerful influence on the development of 
geology in France.

SCARCE. This is an important mineralogical 
and crystallographic work in the history of those 
sciences. Haüy, gone for over twenty years when these 
volumes appeared, no longer dominated the French 
school. Chemistry and crystallography had made major 
discoveries, making it possible to advance to a more 
successful theoretical stage in mineral classification. 
New original research was being carried on, as is 
evident by the amount of information contained in 
these volumes. Here the author describes the effects 
of high temperature on minerals and crystals and gives 
theories about the structure of crystals, together with 
the standard information about the physical characters 
of minerals, chemical properties, crystal systems and 
systematic mineralogy, in which the author follows a 
natural method of classification. 

Advances in the chemical composition of mineral 
species now allowed Dufrénoy to employ chemistry as a 
true means of classification. He uses this classification 
because he believes it brings together all observations 
made in the science under a single, unified explanation. 
However, he believed that using the bases to classify 
metals, gave birth to true natural groups in which 
there was one common element. For example, all those 
of lead, all those of copper, and all those of iron. 
On the other hand, silicates were their own distinct 
group because hardness, luster and other properties 
were similar. Dufrénoy believed then, that classification 
by acids should be confined to the silicates. 

In the first volume of the text are seven folding 
engraved plates, four of which are detailed renderings 
of mineralogical instruments: goniometers (Haüy, 
Wollaston, Mitscherlich, Adelmann and Babinet), Soleil

Edwards 



EDWARDS, George. (BORN: Stratford, near 

Westham, Essex, England, 3 April 1694; DIED: 
Westham, Essex, England, 23 April 1773) English- 
naturalist. 

As a youth, Edwards had access to a large library, 
which developed his habit of incessant reading. He traveled 
throughout northern Europe, and in 1718 while going 
through Norway he was imprisioned by Danish soldiers 
who suspected him of spying. After his release, the travels 
were continued through France. He returned to England 
in 1720, where he began producing colored drawings of 
animals that fetched good prices and brought him contact 
with influential men of the period. One of thern, Sir Hans 
Sloane, recommended Edwards as librarian of the Royal 
College of Physicians in 1733. His great work was an 
illustrated History of Birds (4 vols., London, 1743-51), for 
which the Royal Society awarded him a gold medal and 
elected him a fellow.

VERY SCARCE. This monograph was published 
from notes found in the author's effects after his 
death. It describes slightly over one hundred minerals 
in a system claimed to be new, but which is only 
a modification of LlNNEAUS' classification plan. In 
"To the Reader," Edwards recognizes this treatise to 
be imperfect, however he wrote it with the intention 
of publishing another edition, "enriched with a great 
number, and a more minute account of individual fossils 
..." The term fossilogy used in the title of this work is 
defined by Edwards as "the knowledge of the different 
bodies, which are found in the earth, and which have 
neither animal or vegetable origin." 

The text begins with a short introduction. This 
is followed by the descriptive mineralogy, which is 
divided into the six classes: (1) earths, (2) stones,

EGEDE, Hans Poulsen. (BORN: 31 January 1686; 
DIED: 5 November 1758) Norwegian theologian. 

Egede, a Lutheran missionary, went to Greenland 
in 1721 and, with the support of the Danish government, 
founded a mission for the Eskimo. He also helped to initiate 
trade between Denmark and Greenland. He returned to 
Copenhagen in 1736 to become principal of a seminary that 
trained missionaries for Greenland. His son, Povel Hansen 
also a missionary to Greenland, completed a translation of 
the New Testament for use by the Eskimo.

Rare. No more published. This was to be 
an ambitious description of the physical and political 
character of Iceland; however, only this first part was 
published. The introduction contains a bibliography of 
Iceland, while the remainder of the volume treats the 
physical geography of the island, including geological 
phenomena such as geysers, mineral springs, volcanoes, 
mineral deposits, etc.

EGLESTON, Thomas. (BORN: New York City, New 
York, U.S.A., 9 December 1832; DIED: New York City, 
New York, U.S.A., 15 January 1900) American mining 
expert & metallurgist. 

Egleston received his bacholareate and master 
degrees from Yale in 1854 and 1857, respectively. For post 
graduate work, he traveled to Paris and the Ecole dies Mines 
graduating in 1860. Upon returning to America in 1861, he 
was appointed superintendant of mineral and metallurgical 
products at the Smithsonian Institution. In 1864, Egleston 
left the Smithsonian to found the School of Mines at 
Columbia college where he remained a professor until 1897. 
In his honor the Egleston medal of the Columbia University 
School of Engineering was created.

of 19 mineralogical authorities which he consulted in the 
compilation of this dictionary. Names have been added 
and changed in the text that the progress of the science 
dictated. As far as possible the names of rocks have 
been omitted, while the names of authenticated species 
are printed in bold. Doubtful species have been printed 
in ordinary type. In many instances the first description 
of the species or sometimes the best authority have been 
listed at the end of the description.

VERY SCARCE. In this important paper on fossils 
in Sweden, Ehrhart was able to show that belemnites, 
long thought to be inorganic fossils, had a distinctive 
chambered shell "analogous to that of the living 
cephalopod molluscs Nautilus and Spirula. Combined 
with his careful analysis of the mode of growth of 
the guard, this structural analogy made the organic 
origin of belemnites almost indisputable" (Rudwick).

Volkmann.

SCARCE. This is a French translation by de Fontallard 
of Versuch einer Schmelzkunst mit Beyhülfe der Fenerluft 
(Strassburg, 1786). It embodies Ehrmann's experiments on 
fusion, which includes one of the earliest descriptions and 
illustrations of the oxygen blowpipe, which would become 
important in high temperature study of minerals. Ehrmann 
was a correspondent of Lavoisier, who conducted a series of 
experiments on the effects of high temperature on various 
substances. Lavoisier requested that his own memoirs 
on the subject be reprinted together with the translation 
of Ehrmann's Essai. De Fontallard compiled and added 
them at the end of the book (pp. 235-349) together with 
a mémoire by Meusnier that describes and illustrates the 
apparatus used by both Lavoisier and Ehrmann in their 
expermients (pp. 350-366).

translator on several works during the period 1770 to 1790.

EICHWALD, Karl Eduard Ivanovich. (Born: 
Jelgava, Latvia, 4 July 1795; DIED: St. Petersburg, 
Russia, 16 November 1876) Latvian geologist & 
naturalist. 

Eichwald (or the Russian Eikhval'd) studied medicine 
and natural sciences at the University of Berlin, 1814- 
17. Returning to Russia, he served as professor at the 
universities of Dorpat (present-day Tartu), 1821, Kazan, 
1823, and Wilno (present-day Vilnius), 1829, and the St. 
Petersburg Medical-Surgical Academy, 1838-51. During 
this last appointment, he also lectured on paleontology 
at the St. Petersburg Mining Institute. He made several 
extended trips throughout the Urals and western Russia. 
Eichwald wrote on many subjects besides mineralogy. 
These include geology, paleontology, geography, plants and 
animals. In the field of zoology, he discovered many species 
new to Russia, and wrote Zoologia Specialis (3 vols., St. 
Petersburg, 1829-31), which outlined a classification of 
animals based on comparative anatomy, physiology, and 
paleontology. He also wrote numerous textbooks for use 
in Russia's universities. Eichwald was a corresponding 
member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences from 
1826.

RARE. In his textbook, Oryctognosy mainly 
with Regards to Russia, Eichwald has focused his 
descriptions on those mineralogical species found in 
the Russian empire. He was able to rely on his 
own extensive exploration of the country to write 
comprehensively on the subject. Eichwald also 

introduces his new mineralogical classification based on 
chemistry, which on sound arguments excludes liquids 
and gases from mineralogy.

VERY SCARCE. Describes the natural history 
collections of the Zwinger Museum at Dresden; 



these included mineral, fossil, botanical, anatomical, 
zoological, and coral (shell). The author gives a 
history of each collection and comments on many of 
the highlights of this great museum. The plates show 
the floor plan of the museum. The first separate guide 
to the Royal natural history collections housed in the 
magnificent baroque Zwinger in Dresden, which also 
contained the print cabinet. This work was one of 
the by-products of August the Strong's reorganization 
of the old Wunderkamrner into specialized collections, 
and contains an account of the minerals, petrifications, 
animal skeletons and specimens, corals and shells. The 
final chapter contains a description of a model of 
Solomon's temple, constructed over a period of twenty 
years from Biblical references by a Hamburg gentleman 
named Schott. 

The work described here has both the German and 
French texts combined. Two other states of the catalog 
exist, one consisting solely of the German text, the other 
completely in French. Both of these were published in 
1755.

EKEBERG, Anders Gustaf. (Born: Stockholm, 
Sweden, 16 January 1767; DIED: Uppsala, Sweden, 11 
February 1813) Swedish chemist & mineralogist. 

Came to Upsala 1784 and studied under, among 
others, Thunberg and defended alltogether six thesises in 
natural history between 1787 and 1800. He was hired 
1799 by the Upsala Academy as a lecturer and laborator 
in chemistry. His major contribution to science was the 
naming of yttria and the discovery of tantalum. Yttria 
was named in a follow up article (KVAH 1797, 156) on 
the black mineral gadolinite and the new "earth" described 
therein by Johan Gadolin (KVAH 1794). Five years later he 
published an article (KVAH 1802, 68) where he compared 
yttrium and beryllium (ytterjord vs berylljord), in it he 
reports on a new mineral yttrotantal (yttrotantalite) that 
apart from yttrium also contains anew metal tantalum. He 
was a member of the Royal Swedish academy of Sciences 
(1799) as well as the Society of Sciences in Uppsala (1810). 
Ekeberg suffered from weak helth and died only 46 years 
old. [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

WH.s released from service, however, due to weak eyesight. 
Thereafter, he studied chemistry at the University of 
Göttingen. In 1853, Elderhorst emmigrated to The United 
States and worked in drugstores in Charleston, South 
Carolina and New York City. He also gave private 
instruction in chemistry. In 1855, he was appointed 
professor of theoretical and practical chemistry at the 
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In this capacity, he was 
an important insturment in transferring the techniques of 
the German chemical school to his American students.

RARE. Besides various examples of mineralogical 
specimens, Eller's cabinet contained many samples of 
marble from local and foreign locations, gemstones, 
semiprecious stones, petrified plants and fruits and 
other fossils, earths and stones. Clearly, Eller devoted 
a great amount of time and attention to building his 
collection.

VERY SCARCE. Enlarged edition, correcting many 
mistakes published in the first edition. The author 
basically supports Werner's mineralogical theories, but 
has modified and added to the descriptions of the 
chemical composition of minerals. These revisions came 
about principally because of Klaproth's discoveries in the 
chemical makeup of minerals. 

The Introduction covers topics on the philosophy of 
mineral classification, the nomenclature of mineral names, 
and a system of external characteristics. The classification 
is then presented in a tabular overview followed by the 
descriptive mineralogy.

Emmons 



EMMONS, Ebenezer. (Born: Middlefield, Mas- 
sachuessetts, U.S.A., 16 May 1799; DlED: Brunswick 
County, North Carolina, U.S.A., 1 October 1863) Amer- 
ican physician & geologist. 

Born the son of a farmer, Emmons attended the 
Rensselar Polytechnic Institute. There he became an 
assistant of the American geologist Arnos Eaton [1776— 
1842]. After graduating in 1826, Emmons opened a medical 
practice specializing in obstetrics in Chester, Mass. From 
1828 to 1834, he delivered lectures in chemistry at Williams 
College. This lead in 1833 to an appointment as professor of 
natural history, a position he held until 1859, at which time 
Emmons was made professor of geology and mineralogy. 

As an author, Emmons wrote on agriculture, geology 
and mineralogy. His most important book was Geology 
of the Second Geological District, which was issued as 
part of Division 4 of the Natural History of New York 
(4 vols., Albany, 1842). In this work, Emmons created 
the first comprehensive picture of the geology of New 
York by devising his own influential system of geological 
classification.

VERY SCARCE. After Cleaveland's encyclopedic 
Treatise appeared in 1816 and 1822, many people began 



[1], [l]-229, [1] p 

Contents: [ 

of New York. ...' 



to have an interest in the minerals of the United States, 
and from this interest demand arose for a short, simple, 
descriptive mineralogy. Although Cleaveland's work 
was a comprehensive reference, it was to bulky and 
expensive to readily be used as a field guide. Under 
these conditions Emmons published his Manual to 
favorable response. 

The book adopts the classification of MOHS 
but substitutes Brooke's system of crystallography. 
The individual mineral descriptions are clear and 
concise, giving the user ample general information 
while stressing known localities in the United States. 
Unfortunately use as a textbook undoubtedly caused 
many copies of this book to quickly dilapidate making 
both this edition and the second rare collectibles.

SCARCE. A thoroughly revised text which is more 
useable than the first attempt. In preparing this edition, 
Emmons has remodeled its content to facilitate instruction 
in the science of minerals. It was his intent to supply the 
student with a guide so they could satisfactorily conduct 
through the process of examining minerals. To facilitate 
this, the text included sufficient information to employ the 
characters of minerals substances and to trace the relations 
existing between the various species. The classification 
system of F. MOHS has like the first edition again been 
adopted. For crystallography, the system of H.J. BROOKE 
is retained. Emmons has included a few woodcuts to 
illustrate the crystalline forms, which was lacking from the 
previi .us editii m. 

The short introduction provides an overview of the 
definition and purpose of mineralogy. A section describing 
the terminology used in the crystallographic description 
follows. The optical and physical properties of minerals 
are reviewed. The theory of classification, nomenclature, 
characteristics and a description of physiography precede 
the large section devoted to descriptive mineralogy. An 
index concludes the work.

Scarce. Translation by Christian Ehrenfried 
WEIGEL. The basis of this work were lectures Engström 
delivered in London in 1765. It first appeared in 
print as an appendix to An Essay Towards a System 
of Mineralogy (1st ed., London, 1770), for which 
Engström had acted as the English translator. It 
describes Engström's pocket laboratory, blowpipe and 
procedured used in the analysis of minerals. 

Christian Ehrenfried Weigel. (BORN: Staslund, 

Germany, 24 May 1748; DIED: Greifswald, Germany, 8 
August 1831) German physician & chemist. Weigel had his 
early education at private school in Stralsund. In 1764 he 
matriculated at the University of Greifswald. From 1775 
onwards, Weigel was professor of botany and chemistry at 
the University of Greifswald. He was the inventor of the 
counter current cooler (Liebig cooler). Weigel wrote and 
translated mostly on chemical subjects.

ENGLISH, George Letchworth. (Born: Philadel- 
phia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., 14 June 1864; DIED: 
Rochester, New York, U.S.A., 1944) American miner- 
alogist & mineral dealer. 

In 1881, English graduated from the Friends' Central 
School in Philadelphia. Having attended the 1876 

Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, he had become 
interested in minerals. In 1887, he opened a mineral 
establishment and worked as an independent mineral dealer 
until 1903. Due to his expertise in the mineral monzanite, 
English was offered a position with the Natural Light 
and Thorium Company, where he worked from 1903 to 
1913. From 1913 to 1934, he was mineralogist for Ward's 
Natural Science Establishment in Rochester, N.Y. For 
the last decade of his life, he worked as a consulting 
mineralogist. English held memberships in the New 
York Mineral Club, the Academy of Natural Sciences, 
Philadelphia, Rochester Academy (president, 1919-21), 
and the Brooklyn Institute. He discovered the minerals 
penfieldite, graftonite, pyroxmangite and skemmatite, and 
the mineral species "Englishite" is named in his honor.

FIRST EDITION. 


JANUARY, 1888. 



Catalogue of Minerals, 1Í 



VERY SCARCE. The first catalogue issued by 
this famous mineral dealing firm. It covers minerals 
for technical and commercial purposes, systematic 
collections, collections illustrating blowpipe analysis, 
hardness, microscopic study and fusibility. Also 
included are price lists for cabinet specimens, and 
specimens for Franklin, New Jersey, Colorado, Amelia 
Co., Virginia, Canada, North Carolina, Arizona, New 
Mexico, California and Europe. 

2nd to 14th Editions: Descriptions of the 
subsequent separate editions of the Catalogues are 
listed below. However, the second through the 

fourteenth edition apparently were not published 
separately. Instead, between 1888 and 1890, English 
paid for their inclusion into issues of the rare 
mineralogical periodical, The Exchangers Monthly. 
They were published at the end of the issue, and 
sometimes, these lists would account for more than half 
of the total pages of each issue. Every catalog was 
introduced with a title similar to, "Geo. L. English &¿ 
Co. 's Catalogue." No doubt this financial boon to the 
magazine helped the editor Arthur Chamberlain to keep 
the venture alive. 

George L. English fc Co. American mineral dealing 

firm. Founded in 1887 in Philadelphia by George English 
in partnership with a fellow Philadelphia mineral collector 
Edwin C. Atkinson. They had their shop at 1512 Chester 
Street, issuing their first catalog in 1888. By 1890, Geo. 
English &Z, Co. had merged with the New York mineral 
dealer William Niven [1850-1937] to form perhaps the 
greatest mineral dealing firm of the time. The New York 
store address was 739 and 741 Broadway, however, by 



1891, they had moved a few numbers down and had their 
shop at 733 and 735 Broadway. In 1892, English assumed 
sole control of the business, moving to new premises 
located at 64th East 12th Street in New York about 1893. 
Geo. English Äc Co. appears to have remained located 
at this last address until the stock was sold to Ward's 
Natural History Establishment of Rochester, New York in 
1903. English appears to have continued actively dealing 
minerals, however, in 1905 he is listed as a dealer in 
minerals at 3 and 5 West 18th Street, New York. As a 
side note, Atkinson is listed in Philadelphia with a mineral 
collection as late as 1905.

descriptions of new minerals and/or occurances.; 59-89, 
"Classified List of Mineral Species."; 90-100, "Index." 

VERY SCARCE. From the Introduction: "Mineralogy 
has kept pace with allied sciences in the advances of the 
past ten or twenty years. The very great increase in the 
demand for mineral specimens, and the general centering 
of the business in the United States upon our house, have 
created a demand for a more elaborate catalogue of our 
stock, which we have endeavored in our present issue to 
satisfy." 

"It is our earnest desire to have an unsullied 
reputation for integrity and justice, as we believe that upon 
no other basis can a permanent business be built up. The 
attention of parties who do not know of our standing is 
respectfully called to the list (on the following page) of 
distinguished mineralogists who kindly permit us to use 
their names for reference." 

"The liberal support given us in the past has 
eneouraged us to very materially increase our stock as 
well as our facilities for promptly filling the large orders 
entrusted to us. At the present time we have no hesitation 
in claiming that our stock is the largest, finest, most 
complete in species, and in every way the best, in the 
United States. The recent consolidation of the houses of 
George L. English &c Co., of Philadelphia, and William 
Niven, of New York, into a new firm to be known as 
George L. English &c Co., is already being recognized as 
a move to place the mineral buisness in the United States 
on the highest plane. It will be the constant aim of the 
new firm to keep no poor material, and while our efforts 
to secure the choicest of everything often compel us to 
buy at much higher prices than are commonly asked, an 
examination of our catalogue will show that our prices are 
almost invariably as low as or lower than those of other 
dealers, while the superiority of our material cannot fail to 
be noticed. This is because we study carefully the needs 
of all classes of our customers, confine our business wholly 
to mineralogy, and secure our material direct, personally, 
or by experienced assistants, visiting the localities and 
purchasing desirable material in large quantities."

Blank. 

Rare. This is an important work in the study of 
systematic mineralogy which complements the writings 
of Agrícola and Ercker. The author acknowledges a 
debt to Agrícola, but since the work is focused on 
the medical uses of metals, stones minerals and gems, 
he cites Pliny, Dioscorides and Serapion more often. 
He repeats the ancient and medieval traditions and 
beliefs with regard to gems, but sometimes regards 
the mystical powers as suspicious. Throughout many 
German names are provided together with an index 
and mention is made of some German mines. Entzelt 
is critical of Albertus Magnus for listening to much 
to the chemists and censures him for belief in magic, 
although he often ascribes powers to stones that are 
not far of magical. Entzelt offers recipes for mixing 
ink and for making shoe-black. He discusses crystals 
used in spyglasses, the superpowers of stones found in 
animals, German mining regions, fossils, gemstones and 
amber. Throughout, Entzelt has much to say on the 
classification and hierarchy of minerals and metals, and 
illustrates his theories on numerous schematic charts 
and on the three folding leaves that are rarely found 
intact. The text is divided into three sections: metals 
(pp. 1-72), semi-metals (pp. 73-155) and stones, earths 
and gems (pp. 156-271). 

Included at the beginning is a strong letter of 



commendation from Philip Melanchthon [1497-1560] to 
Egenolph, the printer at Frankfurt, dated 19 August 
1551, recommending the book to be printed because it 
contains material found nowhere else. Since the title 
page is undated, this edition is ascribed to publication 
in that year. In comparing multiple copies of the 1557 
printing to this edition, it has been determined that 
the text is from the same sheets in both edition, with 
the only differences being on the title page and on 
the folding table inserted at page 93. On this table 
in the 1551 edition, line 6 from bottom ends "...qvod 
Dioscorides uo-" while the same line in the 1557 edition 
ends "...qvod Dioscorides."

From 1547 to 1548, Ercker was educated at 
Wittenberg University. In 1554, he obtained, through 
his wife's relatives, a post as assayer from the Elector 



Augustus II at Dresden. From there on he moved through 
a succession of positions in mining, metallurgy and at 
the mint. After 1558 he moved to Prague where he 
wrote his best known book, Die Beschreibung allfùrnemisten 
mineralischen Ertz (Prague, 1574), which brought him the 
attention of Emperor Maximilian. Ercker was appointed 
Courier of Mining and a clerk of the Supreme Court of 
Bohemia. The next Emperor, Rudolf II, made him Chief 
Inspector of Mines and ennobled him in 1586 with the title 
'von Schreckenfels.'

VERY RARE. Together with Agricola's De Re 
Metallica (1st ed., Basel, 1556), Ercker's treatise is 
the most authoritative and practical work on 16th 
century metallurgy and assaying. He provides a 
systematic review of methods of testing alloys and 
minerals and of obtaining and refining various metals. 
Also described are procedures for manufacturing acids, 
salts and other chemical compounds, including saltpeter 
and vitriol. Apparatus and laboratory equipment used 
in metallurgy and assaying as well as detailed accounts 
of laboratory procedures, all of which had been used by 
Ercker in his everyday work as inspector of mines. 

Ercker was an accurate recorder of facts, not a 
builder of theoretical systems. He writes with amazing 
clarity, with completely realistic descriptions of the 
apparatus used and straightforward instructions for 
various laboratory operations. His treatment of the 
subject is basically the same as found in any modern 
treatise on fire assaying, and in fact his work remained 
the standard text for several centuries after its first 
appearance. 

In five books Ercker defines assaying and what 
knowledge the practicing assayer should possess. The 
first book deals with silver ores, how to distinguish them 
and the apparatus required to perform accurate tests, 
and refine the resultant metal. Book two describes 
the same for gold and its ores, while book three 
covers copper. Book four concerns lead, bismuth, tin, 
antimony, mercury, iron and lodestone. Book five 
describes the preparation of saltpeter and the assay of 
vitriol from pyrite and alum in the ores of alum. 

English transi., 1951: Lazarus Ercker's | Treatise On | 
Ores And Assaying | translated from the German Edition 
of 1580 | By | Anneliese Grünhaldt Siseo | and | Cyril 
Stanley Smith | [in red, ornament] | The University Of 



Chicago Press • Chicago • Illinois. 8 : [i]-xxxiii, [1], [1]- 
[360] p. Title page in red and black. 

Translation by Anneliese G. Siseo and Cyril Stanley 
Smith [see notes below], which includes extensive notes by 
the translators and title page reproductions of all the earlier 
editions of Ercker. 

Anneliese Grünhaldt Siseo. (BORN: 1900; DIED: ) 

German/American metallurgist & chemist. For many years, 
Siseo was an associate editor of Alloys of Iron Research in 
New York. She worked as a translator for several early 
works dealing with metallurgy and mining. 

Cyril Stanley Smith. (BORN: Birmingham, England, 
1903; DIED: Cambridge, Massacheusetts, U.S.A., 25 August 
1992) British/ American metallurgist & chemist. Smith 
received his Ph.D. in metallurgy from MIT in 1926. From 
1927 to 1942, he worked in industry for American Brass 
Company, where he received some 20 patents. During 
WWII he worked in Los Alamos on the Manhattan project. 
After the war he became a professor of metallurgy and 
director of the Institute for the Study of Metals at the 
University of Chicago. From 1961 until 1969, he taught 
metallurgy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 
In science, he was renowned for his research in physical 
metallurgy, particularly in areas such as the role of interface 
energy and topology in the structure of polycrystalline 
materials and the application of metallography to the study 
of artifacts. He is also remembered for his books and 
articles that bring to light historical aspects of metallurgy.

ERDMANN, Axel Joakim. (Born: Stockholm, 
Sweden, 12 August 1814; DIED: Stockholm, Sweden, 1 
December 1869) Swedish mineralogist & geologist. 

Graduated 1833 from Uppsala and studied at the 
Mining Academy at Fahlun 1837-38. He studied under 
Berzelius the winter 1839-40, and continued after this 
chemical mineralogical investigations in his own private 
laboratory. He became an instructor at the Mining 
Academy in Fahlun 1850. Erdmann turned more and 
more towards geology and became the first leader of 
Sveriges Geologiska Undersökning (SGU), the geological 
survey of Sweden, that he founded 1858. From this 
time on he devoted himself to the organization of the 
survey and initiated and outlined the geological mapping 
of Sweden. Apart from the purely mineralogical works 
below Erdmann wrote monograph like articles on some of 
the mineralogically interesting ore-fields in Sweden that 
were published in the Transactions of the Royal Swedish 
Academy of Science: Försök till en geognostisk-mineralogisk 
beskrifning öfver Tunabergs socken (1848), Dannemora 
jernmalmsfält i Upsala Ian (1850) and Utö jernmalmsfält i 
Stockholms län (1854). Moreover, he published also a 
handbook in petrology Vägledning till bergarternas kännedom 
(1855). [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

SCARCE. The book was written to fill the need of a 
Swedish handbook in mineralogy for higher education. 
Erdmann was well aware of the need for such a book 
and fit for the job as he at the time supervised the 
mineralogy, geology and mining courses at the Mining 
Academy in Fahlun, his former school. The last Swedish 
books in this category were the ones by Retzius (1795) 
and the uncompleted by Schwartz (1803), reminds us 
the author in the for word. It is divided in a general 
and a descriptive part. The first part is divided 
in the egenskaper and a short general discussion on 
systematics, the descriptive part is based on the system 
of Berzelius. [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

ERDMANN, Edvard. (BORN: Stockholm, Sweden, 1 
October 1840; DIED: Stockholm, Sweden?, 8 September 
1923) Swedish geologist & mineralogist. 

The son of Axel Erdmann. Followed in his 

fathers footsteps and became assisting geologist in the 
newly started geological survey, where he stayed and 
held different positions during his career. From 1871 
until retiring he was responsible for the collections of 
the geological survey. Erdmann was actively trying to 
popularize the field of geology with several small books, 
pamphlets and articles in the subject, it is in this context 
his writings on mineralogy came to be.

sciences. In 1848, he emigrated to the United States 
and found work as BENJAMIN SlLLIMAN'S assistant in Yale's 
chemical laboratory in 1849. He became a professor 
of chemistry, mineralogy, French and German at the 
University of Tennessee in 1850, but resigned in 1852 due to 
overwork. In 1854, Erni went to the University of Vermont 
as professor of chemistry, toxicology and pharmacy in 
the Medical Department as well as professor of natural 
philosophy in the Academic Department. He took a 
position at Shelby Medical College in Nashville in 1859, 
but at the outbreak of the Civil War caused this job to 
evaporate. Hired as the first chemist in the Department of 
Agriculture in 1862, Erni studied the fermentation process 
and various soil types. In 1866, he became an examiner 
in the U.S. Patent Office, handling chemistry and physics 
inventions. President Grant appointed him consul at Basle, 
Switzerland in 1869. He remained there until 1878, when 
he returned to Washington, taking a succession of part time 
jobs. Erni was a founding member of the Chemical Society 
of Washington in 1884.

natural history for the period 1785 to 1800. It is rich 
in citations for books and articles from journals and 
periodicals that were published in both Germany and 
foreign countries, and even includes the criticisms to 
which each book had been subjected. It is divided 
into 16 major subject divisions that were arranged 
into subsections: (I) Bibliography, (II) Linguistics, 
(III) Theology, (IV) Jurisprudence, (V) Medicine, )VI) 
Philosophy, (VII) Pedagogic, (VIII) Political science, 
(IX) War science, (X) Natural sciences including

ERXLEBEN, Johann Christian Polykarp. (Born: 
Quedlinburg, Germany, 22 June 1744; DIED: Göttingen, 
Germany, 19 August 1777) German naturalist. 

Erxleben was born the son of a theologian, and his 
mother would be the first woman in Germany to be awarded 
the degree doctor of medicine. Erxleben began studying 
medicine at Göttingen, but turned his attention to natural 
history subjects. He became a professor of physics at the 
University of Göttingen in 1771. He built a good reputation 
throughout Europe, and his classes at the university widely 
attended.

VERY RARE. This work considers reasons why 
no correct mineral system had yet been devised. The 
author attributes this dilema to two problems. The 
first was that no one had yet accurately investigated 
minerals from a chemical standpoint, and the second 
was that a very few, true species of minerals had been 
endlessly mixed in the earth, resulting in a seemingly 
endless variety of species to the mineralogists.

introduction to natural history went through over half 
a dozen issues before the close of the 18th century. 
A bibliographer at heart, Erxleben provides many 
references for further reading, while describing the 
animal, mineral and vegetable kingdoms. After his 
death, Johann Friedrich Gmelin [see note below] took on 
the role of editor in 1782, and in this capacity continued 
to issue the text with references to the latest discoveries.

VERY SCARCE. Based upon the specimens in 
the mineralogical museum of the Friedrichs- Alexanders 
University in Erlangen, of which Esper was curator. 
The author attempts to create a new mineralogical 
classification that is based upon Leonhard, Merz 
and Kopp's Systematisch-Tabellarische Übersicht und 
Charakteristik der Mineralkörper (Frankfurt am Main, 
1806). Whereas the earlier work was essentially 
theoretical, Esper applies the theory to the mineral 
collection in a practical treatment. Esper provides 
the standard data for each mineral species including 
species, family, name, synonyms (mostly from Gmelin's 
translation of Linneaus), localities, chemical characters, 
petrifications are treated separately, characteristics 
based on the works of Emmerling, Estner, Suckow and 
Reuss. The book has a short introduction that defines 
terms, while the remainder is devoted to the description 
of the species.

VERY RARE. Designed for the beginner and lover of 
minerals, Estner'swork explains Werner's theories. The 
author was a devout disciple of Werner doctrine and this 
exposition of his theories is one of the most extensive 
and rarest of the treatments. Estner relied upon the 
mineral collections of Vienna for source material in his 
mineral descriptions. According to the title pages of the 
various volumes, he also paid the costs of printing and 
hence the extreme difficulty in obtaining copies of this 
work.

own collecting preferences. The first number of The 
Exchangers' Monthly appeared in November, 1885, the 
subscription price being twenty-five cents per year. It 
was a modest little publication, trim in appearance that 
lasted for five years. The name of the magazine was 
then changed in November, 1890, to The Mineralogists' 
Monthly [which see], and the price advanced to fifty 
cents per year. 

Arthur C. Chamberlain. (BORN: ; DIED: after 1916) 

American publisher. Chamberlain was the owner of The 
Chamberlain Printing Company of Jersey City, New Jersy, 
which operated from the 1890s to at least 1909. He was an 
enthusiastic mineral collector, and involved in the editing 
and publishing of several American magazines devoted to 
the hobby.

EXNER, Franz Serafín. (BORN: Vienna, Austria, 24 
March 1849; DIED: Vienna, Austria, 15 November 1926) 
Austrian physicist. 

Educated at the University of Vienna (Ph.D., 
1871), Exner was a founder of modern experimental and 
theoretical research in atmospheric electricity. He studied 
the contact potentials between heterogeneous substances 
and developed a theory to explain them. He wrote a highly 
esteemed textbook on the spectra of the elements. Exner 
was also an early supporter of Helmholtz's three component 
theory of color.

VERY SCARCE. Hardness as it applies to 

minerals was a subject thoroughly investigated by 
Exner in his important Untersuchungen über die 
Härte an Krystallnächen. After providing a short 
historical introduction to previous investigations into 
the hardness of minerals, Exner attempts to place 
the study on firm scientific foundations. Hardness 
had previously been a physical characteristic that had 
been a relative measure between two or more mineral 
species. Now however, Exner described the forms of 
hardness across the faces of many crystals in a series 
of curves of hardness. He obtained the measurements 
by determining the least amount of weight required to 
scratch a crystalline surface in different directions for 
each 10° or 15° from 0° to 180°, as determined by a 
sclerometer (an instrument used to measure hardness). 
These directions are laid out as radii from the center, 
and the length of each is made proportional to the 
weight fixed by experiment. These points are then 
connected, and a specific hardness diagram for the 
mineral determined.

RARE. This succinct treatise, which cites many 
classical sources, provides descriptions of the noble and 
base metals. It consists of eleven chapters that describe 
gold, silver, lead, copper, tin as well as various alloys 
and oxides. The debt owed by the author to Agrícola 
is noted on the title page and in the introductory 
letter. This letter written by Johannes Kentmann is 
dated 1566, although the title page is dated 1565, and 
together with the separate foliation provides evidence 
that this work was issued separately, as well as included 
in Conrad Gesner's De Omni Rerum Fossilium (Tigvri, 
1565).

VERY RARE. This first edition is not cited in 
many of the standard bibliographies, although Ferguson 
knew of its existance and Darmstaedter gives a good 
description. The preface to the work is dated 1567 
and was published by his son Louis Wolfgang Fachs. 
Incredibly, the work suggests that when tin and lead 
are heated they increase in weight. It was not 
until Lavoisier demonstrated this fact in 1772 that it 
was accepted by the scientific community, but here 
Fachs clearly describes weight increase of metals during 
calcination. As the master assayor of the mint for the 
Prince of Anhalt, Fachs devotes large sections of his text 
to describing the testing, refining and assaying of gold 
and silver, while another portion describes managerial 
aspects of the mint's operation. 

Other editions: The British Library has editions of 
1669, 1678 (7th ed., Leipzig, Groß, 1678. [22], 173 p., 
[10], 49, 142 p., one folding table) and 1689 (Leipzig, 
Gedruckt im Jahr 1689. a 8 -b 8 с 7 ; 23¿.; [2] 3-39, [7] p.). 
Ferguson describes an edition of Leipzig, 1622 and notices 
editions published in Leipzig of 1636, 1671 and 1680 and an 
Amsterdam edition of 1669. Clearly a popular and much 
reprinted work.

published in two volumes but, owing to an increase in 
the amount of material the second volume was divided 
into two. Falck was a disciple of Linnaeus and plans 
were mad for him to accompany Forsskål to Arabia 
and in Forsskåls company he arrived in Copenhagen 
in 1760, but his services were not required. In 1763 
plans were made for him to gain employment in St. 
Petersburg as head of the natural history collection 
of the Russian State Councilor Kruse. In 1768 an 
expedition to Eastern Russia and Siberia was arranged,

in which Falck was included. The expedition traveled 
into Siberia via Astrakhan and Orenburg via Kolyvan 
and Tomsk almost reaching the Mongolian border in 
1772, but Falck was then ordered to return to St. 
Petersburg. All along he had been collecting material. 
For a short time he accompanied Petr SIMON PALLAS 
and Georgi in their travels. Having made it to Kazan 
Falck committed suicide in March, 1774. A decade 
later Georgi edited Falck's diaries and note into the 
Beyträge. 

The work begins with Falcks summary account 
of the journey followed by a geographical description 
of scenery and life in the areas covered in Russia 
and Siberia, a map, hydrological and mineralogical 
observations, lists of plants arranged according to the 
sexual system, an extensive Russian-Siberian fauna 
and an account of various peoples encountered. Of 
particular value is Falcks elaborate description of 
the South-Russian steppe. Falcks Beyträg'e was 

a distinguished scientific achievement and a fitting 
monument to its unfortunate author. The contents 
of the volumes are as follows: 1. History of the trip 
from 1768 to 1773 and an examination of the physical 
and political geography of the regions transversed. 
2. Describes the various types of water, rocks, minerals, 
fossils, and plants encountered. It includes several 
illustrations. 3. Deals with the fauna and various Asian 
ethnic groups encountered. It also contains an index to 
the entire work and illustrations of animals, people and 
tools.

FALLOPPIO, Gabrielle. (BORN: Modena, Italy, 1523; 
DIED: Padua, Italy, 9 October 1562) Italian physician 
& naturalist. 

Falloppio was one of the most important physicians 
of the 16th century. He was born to a noble but very poor 
family, and it was only through great hardship that an 
education was obtained. He studied medicine at Ferrara, 
and after taking his degree he worked at various medical 
schools before becoming professor of anatomy at Ferrara, 
in 1548. The next year he went to the Pisa, the most 
important university in Italy. In 1551 Fallopio was invited 
to occupy the chair of anatomy and surgery at Padua. 
Though he died at an early age, he had made his mark on 
anatomy. He studied the organs of generation in both sexes, 
and his description of the canal or tube which leads from 
the ovary to the uterus attached his name to the structure 
(Fallopian tubes). He published only one work dealing with 
anatomy during his lifetime. All other books attributed to 
him were published from his manuscripts after his death by 
his devoted students.

Falsan 



Padua in 1556 were published posthumously together 
with his lecture on minerals given in 1557. Falloppio's 
work critizes Savonarola and others for their statements 
about minerals found in springs. It pictures a still and 
a chemical examination of water according to 'modern 
physicians.' — Partington. 

Falloppio's lectures on thermal and medicinal 
springs and also on 'fossils', i.e. both paleontological 
remains and minerals and earths. These essays were 
collected and edited for publication after Falloppio's 
death in 1562 by his pupil Andrea Marcolino. The 
emphasis of this work is largely geological; the origin 
of springs and fountains, the nature of subterranean 
fire and generation of heat within the earth, and the 
vexing question of the origin of fossils. 'Falloppio, 
as one of the great line of Paduan anatomists, would 
have been well aware of organic resemblances in 
whatever fossils he was familiar with; yet he felt 
that their occurrence on hilltops far from the sea 
made their organic origin unacceptable. It would 
have entailed changes in geography that were literally 
incredible, even with an Aristotelian view of continuous 
terrestrial change; and an explanation in terms of 
spontaneous generation therefore seemed preferable' 
(M.J.S. Rudwick, The meaning of fossils). Falloppio also 
describes many individual springs, their geology, the 
nature of their waters and their medicinal virtues. He 
performed analyses to determine the mineral contents 
of various springs. 

It was published after his death, based on the 
notes that the famous typographer Marcolini had taken 
at his lessons in Padua university.lt deals with the 
origin of springs and fossils, thermal baths and their 
properties, geology, and the medical virtues of various 
spring waters. He denies that thermal baths would help 
changing sex, and prescibes not to bathe in leap years, 
criticising Montagnana and Savonarola. Thorndike,

RARE. While exploring the hilly region of Vivarais 
and Velay in east-central France, Faujas recognized 
ancient basalt flows and their associated mineralization; 
however, their were no active volcanoes in the area. 
After mineralogically comparing the rocks and minerals 
found in France with specimens collected near active 
volcanoes, Faujas presents his conclusions in the 
Recherches, in which he showed decisively the volcanic 
origin of basalt. Although the neptunists would 
continue to show contrary evidence, Faujas conclusions 
were so convincing that it helped crush the thought that 
basalt formed through sedimentary processes once and 
for all. The Recherches also gives excellent descriptions 
and illustrations of the extinct volcanoes in France 
which Zittel says "have scarcely been surpassed in later 
publications."

VERY SCARCE. In his great folio work Recherches 
sur les Volcans Eteints (Paris, 1778) Faujas established 
once and for all the volcanic origin of basalt. In his 
Minéralogie des Volcans he describes and classifies a 
variety of basalt and associated minerals from different

sources. Of the twenty chapters, the first fifteen 
contain Faujas' observations and ideas about basalt. 
In particular, he enumerates and relates the mineral 
species found in ancient basalt fields to those minerals 
found near Mt. ./Etna and clearly a product of that 
volcanoes geological process. He subsequently draws 
the correct conclusion that they formed in similar 
fashion at both locations. This is reinforced at the 
end of the text with Faujas' description of specimens 
collected by Dolomieu from Mt. ¿Etna.

VERY SCARCE. Describes a trip taken through 
Great Britain in 1784. "In 1784 Faujas journeyed 
through England to Scotland; a full account was 
published in 1797. He narrated entertaining details of 
his travels and described arts, industries, and customs, 
but his most important observations were geological. 
He realized the volcanic nature of the basalt of the Inner 
Hebrides and paid special attention to the spectacular 
columnar occurrence on the isle of Staffa, about which 
his curiosity had been aroused by Banks's account in 
Thomas Pennant's Second Tour of Scotland ... (1774)" 
(DSB). In volume II there is a description of Faujas' 
visit to Joseph Black (pp. 267-262). The attractive 
plates include Fingal's cave and the interior of the 
house of McNab, the owner of a number of fragments 
of Ossian's poems. James Mcpherson's so called 
'translation' of Ossian's 'Fingal' had been published in 
1763 and ecstatically received throughout Europe.

sympathetic and tried to understand the life, manners, and 
culture of the Scotch. But the geologist usually takes the 
place of the picturesque traveler" (Cox).

VERY SCARCE. This is the first appearance of 
Faujas' last work, which contains a summation of his 
life-time study and research of paleontology, geology, 
mineralogy and vulcanology. Volume one is devoted 
almost exclusively to fossils and Faujas gives a summary 
of the known species of fossil fishes and the localities in 
which they occurred. The first part of volume two is 
concerned with minerals and it is beautifully illustrated 
with five engraved and colored plates of minerals. The 
second portion is devoted to Faujas' final thoughts on 
the nature and origin of volcanoes.

VERY RARE. Auction sale catalog of Feldmann's 
cabinet of natural history objects, which occurred 
several years after his death. The cabinet contained 
9000 shells, 1200 mineral specimens including 340 
pieces of amber, 3000 stones and petrifications, 1000 
polished or ornamental stones which included 600 
fossils, 1052 samples of wood, and a smaller selection 
of instruments, stuffed animals, and other curiosities. 
The title indicates that if a buyer could not be found for 
the entire cabinet before 1 August 1785, the collection 
would be sold piecemeal later that month. According to 
a manuscript notation in the copy examined, the sale 
actually began on 15 September 1785 and continued 
on the following days. This delay suggests that there 
may have been an effort to secure the entire assembly 
but because the auction happened that the last minute

FERBER, Johann Jakob. (Born: Carlscrona, 
Sweden, 9 September 1743; DIED: Bern, Switzerland, 
12 April 1790) Swedish mineralogist. 

Ferber studied under A.F. Cronstedt, J.G. Wal- 
LER1US and C. LlNN.EUS at the University of Uppsala. He 
then traveled extensively exploring the mines of Germany, 
France, and Italy. In 1774. ho was appointed professor of 
natural history and philosophy at the University in Mittau. 
In 1783, he relocated to St. Petersburg, and then in 1786 
he entered the service of the King of Prussia.

works, the format of the text is as a series of 26 letters 
addressed to another mineralogist, Iganz Elder von 
Born, who also wrote the forward. The letters describe 
diverse natural phenomena encountered in Ferber's

northern Italy, but especially observations on mining, 
geology and mineralogy. Included are descriptions on 
the occurrences of specific species including marble, 
gypsum, jasper, as well as remarks on the ancient ruins

German geologist. Raspe studied science and philology and 
worked as a librarian for several universities before fleeing 
to England in 1775 after pilfering some gems that were 
supposedly in his care. He worked at the Dolcoath Mine, 
Camborne, where he wrote his famous tale The Surprising 



Adventures Of Baron Munchhausen as well as discovering in 
St. Agnes a new tin-bearing sulphide, stannite. In 1791 he 
had to move again (to Ireland) after his involvement in a 
mining swindle in Scotland.

FERRARA, Francesco. 

Intended for a career with the church, Ferrara 
became interested in science after witnessing an eruption of 
Etna. Afterwards he focused his attention natural history, 
graduating from the University of Catania in 1786 with 
degrees in medicine and philosophy. He corresponded 
with DOLOMIEU and SPALLANZANI. After graduation Ferrara 
continued his theological studies and was ordained a priest 
in 1792. In 1802 he was appointed professor of physics at 
the University of Catania.

he graduated from Moscow University, and immediately 
continued his studies with F.A.A. LACROIX in Paris and the 
Norwegian geochemist Victor Moritz Goldschmidt [1888- 
1947] in Heidelberg. In 1909, he began teaching at Moscow 
University, and in 1910 he became a professor at the

professor of mineralogy in St. Petersburg and senior curator 
of the Mineralogical Museum of the Academy of Sciences. 
Fersman was an investigator of incredible industry, and his 
studies include the mineral resources of the Urals, Crimea, 
Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Tukestan, the Altai, Transbikalia, 
northern Mongolia, Karelia and the Kola Peninsula. From 
this work several discoveries of major economic mineral 
deposits were made.

GOLDSCHMIDT. This is one of the best authorities on 
the morphology of diamond crystals as well as other 
features of this unique mineral species. The first part 
treats the general properties of diamonds including 
crystallography and etch figures. The second part 
gives an historical overview of previous investigations 
and includes a long bibliography. The last section 
describes the morphology of crystals including diamond 
twins. Etch figures are described including methods of 
developing them. The atlas is remarkable giving shaded 
crystal drawings and other figures rendered from actual 
stones. Altogether there are 292 figures of diamond 
crystals and associated figures. 

Victor Goldschmidt. (BORN: Mainz, Germany, 10 

February 1853; DIED: Salzburg, Austria, 8 May 1933) 
German mineralogist & crystallographer. Goldschmidt began 
as a student of metallurgy at the Industrial Academy 
in Berlin and the Freiberg Bergakademie, but in 1880, 
he graduated with a Ph.D. in mineralogy from the 
University of Heidelberg. In 1888, he married Leontine 
Porges, who supported her husband and his students. 
In 1888, Goldschmidt also became a faculty member of 
the University of Heidelberg. There he founded the 
Mineralogical-Crystallographic Institute.

FEUCHTWANGER, Lewis. (Born: Fürth, Bavaria, 
Germany, 11 January 1805; DIED: New York City, 
New York, U.S.A., 25 June 1876) German/ American 
physician, chemist & mineralogist. 

In 1827, Feuchtwanger received his M.D. from the 
University of Jena, and he emigrated to the United States 
in 1829. He eventually ended up in New York City where 
he opened a pharmacy. However, he turned his attention to 
chemistry, and developed an alloy of nickel, copper and zinc 
known as "German Silver." He convinced the government 
to mint some one-cent and three-cent specimens using 
his allow, and today these are highly sought after by 
numismatists. Lewis' father was a mineralogist, and the 
son retained his interest, building a large collection and 
becoming a dealer in minerals and gems. He exhibited 
his collection at the Great Exhibition, London, 1851 and 
the Industrial Exhibition, London, 1862, where a portion 
was sold. From the 1850s to the 1870s, Feuchtwanger

obtained and sold commercial quantities of minerals and 
ores, opening a plant in New York to prepare chemical 
preparations from the raw material. 

In 1832, Feuchtwanger offered his cabinet of minerals 
and other objects of natural history for sale, either in its 
entirity or piecemeal. Included were a large wax yellow 
Baltic amber weighing almost 21bs., an American beryl 
weighing 701bs., three collections of precious stones, and 
three collections of minerals containing 160, 350 and 940 
specimens. Apparently, the collection was not completely 
dispersed as Canfield (1923) records that his daughters 
presented his collection to the Society of Ethical Culture 
in New York City about 1900.

Rare. As the first treatise on gemology published 
in the United States, this volume is suprisingly readable 
and acurate in its stone descriptions. It begins with 
general information about the properties of minerals 
like form, cleavage, fracture, hardness, color, specific 
gravity, etc. The work continues with a discussion of 
the minerals that are considered gems such as diamond, 
sapphire, chrsoberyl, topaz, etc. The descriptions each 
contain information about the stones history, physical 
properties and known localities. An appendix contains 
descriptions of pearls and coral. The work ends with an 
index to the stones described.

RARE. Zittel says "the present work is devoted 
chiefly to a careful enumeration and description of the 
eruptive rocks in the Carpathians. He distinguishes 
volcanic outbreaks, with which superficial lava flows are 
associated, from volcanic upheavals, in the course of 
which wide regions are affected, and masses of igneous 
material are intruded in the crust. It can easily be 
understood that Fichtel's work met with an incredulous 
reception by Werner and his adherents." Fichtel 
included not only basalt but all granitoid, gneissose, 
schistose, and doleritic series as igneour in their origin. 
He was able to distinguish two kinds of volcanic 
mountains: 1) those which consist of immense uniform 
masses, sometimes building up a whole mountain-chain, 
and 2) those in which rocks of different costitution 
alternate with one another in a stratified way.

RARE. Although published anonymously, this 
remarkable work has since been attributed to Johann 
Ehrenreich von Fichtel. Probably frustrated by 

the confusion of the mineralogical science in the 
1790s, the author penned this sharp satire that 
attempts to classify mineralogists based upon their own 
theories. Within the 48 groupings, Fichtel recognizes

Very SCARCE. This is apparently a description of 
the museum of natural history objects of the Imperial 
University of Moscow (now Moscow University). 
Fischer had a particular interest in minerals, and 
persumablly there is an account of the mineral 
collection contained in this work.

300, [2] p., frontispiece (showing panorama of the 
museum and grounds), 5 plates (one folding). 

VERY RARE. The descriptive catalog of Pavel 
Grigorievich Démidoff 's [see note below] mineral 
collection is given within this volume. It lists 3,850 
specimens of minerals, rocks, fossils and gemstones 
that were contained within a general natural history 
cabinet. The plates illustrate minerals and fossils. The 
collection was subsequently acquired by the University 
of Moscow. 

The description of the mineral collection is 
contained in the second volume. The first volume of 
the set contains a decription of the library (Moscow, 
1806; lxxiii, 275 p.) and volume 3 describes animals 
and plants (Moscow, 1817; xl, 326 p.). Apparently in 
1817, after volume 3 appeared, the complete work was 
again reissued in Moscow and Leipzig (by Fleischer). 

Pavel Grigorievich Démidoff. (BORN: 1738; DIED: 1821) 
Russian naturalist, aristocrat & traveller. Démidoff founded 
the botanical gardens of Moscow. His uncle, Akinfi Nikitich 
Démidoff [?— cl740] established the family's extensive gold, 
silver and copper mines. From this beginning Pavel 
inherited a collection of mineralized examples, to which 
he added other examples as well as a large library, and 
botanical and zoological examples. The whole collection 
was then donated to the University of Moscow where the 
remains are today located.

EXTREMELY RARE. This is a through examination 
of oryctognosie section of mineralogy that Fischer wrote 
as an advanced textbook. At Moscow University in first 
quarter of the nineteenth century, formal descriptive 
mineralogy was cultivated. Fischer led the charge, 
teaching the course in mineralogy, and preparing in 
1818 a textbook, the Ориктогноз1я, that bears all 
the features typical of a descriptive mineralogy. He 
follows Werner in his discussion of the characteristics, 
and divides the minerals into stones, salts, combustible 
substances, and metals. These classes are then broken 
down into families, which consist of several mineral 
forms. The account of the minerals given by Fischer are 



so arduous and difficult that it is virtually impossible to 
determine the species described. A citation to a second 
volume published in 1820 has been seen, but no physical 
copy has been discovered to describe.

Einleitung in die Chemische Krystalographie, in which he 
summarised the results of recent investigation and the 
views deduced from them on the subject "l crystal-growth 
in its relation to some chemical problems: and in the 
present small volume this admirable summary has been 
enlarged by additions necessitated by the advances made 
in this important subject since 1888." — Preface

Albert Edward Foote 

FOOTE, Albert Edward. (Born: Hamilton, New 
York, U.S.A., 6 February 1846; DIED: Atlanta, Georgia, 
U.S.A., 10 November 1895) American chemist, mineral 
collector & dealer. 

Father of the mineral dealer and businessman, 
Warren Mathews Foote. A.E. Foote was professor of 
chemistry at Iowa Agricultural College. However, in 
the mid-1860's, he began collecting mineral specimens 
from the mines of Michigan, causing Foote to establish a 
mineral dealing business in Philadelphia. Eventually, the 
name of Foote became famous for his large inventory of 
worldwide minerals, which were labeled and sold or traded 
to mineralogists at all levels.

RARE. All published? By the early- 1870's Foote 
had formed an extensive personal mineral collection, 
part of which had been privately exhibited in New 
York in 1873. Probably based upon his reception 
there, he moved in 1875 to Philadelphia and prepared 
for the 1876 Centennial Exposition that took place 
in that city. Within the show he exhibited his best 
specimens, for which he won an award, while outside he 
sold his surplus specimens from a building rented just 
outside the Exposition grounds. This business was not 
exclusively minerals, but included shells, other natural 
history specimens, scientific instruments and second- 
hand scientific books. The catalogue described above 
describes the types of minerals Foote had for sale during 
this period. No trace has been found of other catalogue 
parts that might have been published.

FORSIUS (Helsingforsius), Sigfrid Aronius. (Born: 
Helsingfors, Finland, cl550; DIED: Stockholm, Sweden, 
Before 24 June 1624) Finnish cleric, astronomer, 
naturalist & writer. 

It is recorded that Forsius had a wide ranging 
knowledge ol scientific subjects, especially astronomy. In 
April, 1595 he was among the first to enter the newly 
established University at Uppsala, but within a year he 
had entered the army. By 1605, he traveled to Germany 
to further his education. He returned to Uppsala in 1608 
to accept an astronomical professorship. But within a few 
years he accepted a position at a local church. Forsius 
was a prolific and wide ranging writer, authoring numerous 
almanacs and scientific works.

Rare. The manuscript from which this book was 
printed was originally written in 1613, and the work 
itself appeared a few decades after Forsius' death. In 
all of his writings Forsius was devoted to the theories 
of Paracelsus. The Minerographia is an expansion 
of a chapter and other material that made its first 
appearance in the author's Physica. (Stockholm, 1611), 
which was Forsius' description of creation. In this 
book he comprehensively explains his theories about 
minerals, rocks and stones, with particualar reference 
to their use in medicine. He presents a classification 
of minerals that follows in its essentials the system 
first proposed by ANDREA Cesalpino and divides the 
subject into Terrae, Mineraria, Metalla, Mineraria a 
rnetallis nata, and Lapides.

Johann Reinhold Forster 



FORSTER, Johann Reinhold. (Born: Dirschau, 
Germany, 22 October 1729; DlED: Halle/Saale, 
Germany, 9 December 1798) German naturalist of 
Scottish heritage. 

Father of the renowned naturalist Johann Georg 
Adam Forster [1754-1794], Johann Reinhold was a man 
of great scientific attainments, but an intractable temper. 
Commissioned by empress Catherine to survey the Russian 
colonies of Saratov province, Forster quarreled with the 
government and left with his family for England. There 
he obtained a position as instructor of natural history 
and modern languages at the nonconformist academy at 
Warrington. His temper soon compelled him to resign this 
appointment, and was forced for several years to earn a 
living publishing translations. An invitation to accompany 
Captain Cook on his third voyage around the world was 
accepted on the condition that his son, Johann Georg 
Adam be his assistant. The account of these travels was 
published by the son as A Voyage round the World (London, 
1777; German, Berlin, 1778-80), which is considered the 
"first example of the glowing yet faithful description of 
natural phenomena which has since made a knowledge 
of them the common property of the educated world." 
[Encyc. Brit.] After returning to England, Johann Reinhold 
landed in debtor's prison, but was released after receiving a 
professorship at the University of Halle, where he remained 
the rest of his life.

[94]-96, "A View | of the | Mineral Bodies | considered

Priestley's History of Electricity." 

RARE. In the Advertisement, Forster describes his 
disappointment at not finding a suitable textbook in 
English to teach mineralogy. He recounts problems with 
the previous publications of Webster, Hill, Woodward, 
and Da Costa, and continues, "I found myself under 
the necessity of drawing up a short sketch of my 
own, adapted in the best manner I could imagine to 
the use of my class." Forster than describes how 
Lehmann presented him with a copy of his "Tables" 
when Forster visited St. Petersburg several years before. 
This book, meant to be the first volume of a general 
natural history (never completed), attempts to classify 
minerals on a purely chemical basis. It also discusses the 
generation of mineral bodies, including theories on the 
general structure of the earth. The relationship between 
various salts is described in a series of tables translated 
from Johann Gottlob Lehmann's Kurzer Entwurf einer 
Mineralogie (2nd ed., Berlin, 1760). Other tables show 
the specific gravities of various minerals. The volume 



closes with a consideration of the electric conductivity 
of minerals based on Joseph Priestley's History of 
Electricity (1st ed., London, 1762).

VERY SCARCE. The book begins with an account of 
the apparatus and precautions necessary for successful 
chemical analysis of minerals. This is followed by 
analytical descriptions of minerals classified under the 
headings of Earthy and Stony, Saline, Inflammable and 
Metallic. At this point, with its own title page, is the 
section concerning Sparry Fluor, today known as the 
mineral Fluorite. Originally authored by the Swedish 
chemist Carl William Scheele [1742-1786] and published 
in the Memoirs of the Royal Swedish Academy for 1771, 
this paper describes a series of interesting chemical 
investigations performed on samples of Sparry Fluor. 
These experiments include its combination with alkali 
and saline media, and the creation of hydrofluoric acid 
upon its reaction with hydrochloric acid.

Fortis was a Catholic clergyman, naturalist, biblio- 
phile, and much-published author. He lived first in Rome, 
then later after many travels, he eventually became a li- 
brarian in Bologna. Fortis was a member of the Société 
Italiana and the Academy at Padua.

Fortis, an Augustinian friar, physician, naturalist, 
poet, journalist (and finally librarian of the Bologna 
library) resided in Croatia from 1771 to 1774; his 
letters, describing the country and its people, to various 
luminaries were collected together and published in 
the present volume. Included are his observations of 
Cherso and Osero, and the account of the voyage of 
Antonio Veranzio from Budapest to Constantinople in 
1553, edited by Fortis. There are numerous details 
of the Morlacchi, or Vlassi as they called themselves. 
In his account Fortis outlined many of the divisions 
and tensions: the Vlassi despised the people of the 
coastal towns, who heartily detested them in return. 
To Fortis the Morlacchi represented a key to the 
ethnographic identity of Eastern Europe, since they 
could be identified by their language as Slavs. The 
accidental discovery of coins, walls and a necropolis 
at Tupeci made Fortis famous; the naturalist came 
to the conclusion that the locality could have been 
the site of the Late Antiquity Laurentum described 
by Procopius (500? - 565? AD), a Byzantine 
historian. The engravings depict landscape views, 
native costumes, archeological ruins, fossils, mineral 
formations, Fortis's Viaeeio in Dalmaziawas translated 



into English and French, both editions published in 
1778. The above work was quoted by Montague 
Summers in The Vampire: His Kith and Kin(reprinted 
1960): "When a man dies suspected of becoming a 
Vampire or Vulkodlak, as they call it, they cut his hams, 
and prick his whole body with pins, pretending that, 
after this operation, he cannot walk about." Another 
method found to incapacitate the body of an individual 
destined for vampirism is to break the deceased's spine. 
Mustard seeds were often placed in the coffin in order to 
keep the vampire busy counting them" (pp. 204-210). 
The discrepancy between the number of plates called for 
on the title-page and the number found in other perfect 
copies may be accounted for by several plates showing 
more than one subject.

1868. Fouqué was appointed professor of inorganic 
substances at the College of France in 1877. Elected 
a member of the French Academy of Science in 1881, 
Fouqué became its president in 1901. His contributions 
include the introduction of the microscope for pétrographie 
study to France, pioneering studies in the formation and 
composition of volcanic products, as well as many volcanic 
studies and the artificial production of rocks and minerals.

VERY SCARCE. Co-authored by Auguste Michel- 
Lévy. First edition of this book on the artifical synthesis 
of minerals and rocks. A list of references on pages 
411-423 gives 135 authors with an indication of their 
reseaches. The text contains historical references and 
citations to the bibliography. A catalog of the artificial 
minerals held in the collection of the Collège de France 
is given on pages 397-404. 

Auguste Michel-Lévy. (BORN: Paris, France, 17 August 
1844; DIED: Paris, France, 24 September 1911) French 
petrologist & mineralogist. Michel-Lévy was a brilliant 
student, and is today called one of the pioneers of 
microscopic petrology. His interest turned to geology, and 
in 1862 he matriculated at the Polytechnic School, then 
entered the School of Mines, from which he graduated at 
the head of his class in 1867. From 1870 he made his career 
with the government Geological.

rocks by microscopical petrography... The two- volume 
work Minéralogie Micrographique laid the foundation 
of modern petrography by introducing a classificatory 
system based on the mineralogical composition, the 
structure and the chemical composition of volcanic 
rocks." — DSB.

Rare. A part of the material of this Work 
was prepared by the author and published under the 
title of "Mineral Tables." The second edition of the 
"Tables" being exhausted, advantage is taken of the 
opportunity to revise, enlarge rewrite, make additions 
and corrections, and bring the work out in the present 
more convenient form. 

It has been the intention of the author to furnish 
a work by the aid of which minerals found in this 
country may easily be determined, to give concisely 
their prominent and distinguishing characteristics, and 
to present the classifications usually used in arranging 
cabinets. The tables for determining minerals are those 
constructed by the author and published in the work 
referred to above. Experience in using them in the 
classroom for the past eleven years has led to a slight 
modification of their original form. — Preface.

Frankenheim 



FRANKENHEIM, Moritz Ludwig. (Born: Braun- 
schweig, Germany, 29 June 1801; DlED: Dresden, Ger- 
many, 14 January 1869) German physicist & crystallo- 
grapher. 

Frankenheim began his teaching career when he was 
appointed associate professor at the University of Breslau 
[now Wroclaw, Poland??] in 1827. From 1850 to 1866 
he was professor of physics and director of the physics 
cabinet at that same institution. Frankenheim was a 
pioneer crystallographer who was the first to show in 1826 
that spatial lattices were not only geometrically possible 
but were confined to 32 configurations, thus anticipating 
Auguste Bravais [q. v.] who is normally credited with the 
discovery. He also opposed J.N. von Fuch's [q.v.] theory 
of amorphy with one of aggregates of invisible crystals 
(important in the theory of colloids).

III. Hexagonale, IV. Isoclinic, V. Monoclinic and VI. 
Triclinic. The impact of isomorphism and diamorphism 
to crystal structure in minerals is then described. A 
section giving the chemical formulas of the minerals 
mentioned and a comprehensive index to the names of 
minerals mentioned closes the work.

FRÄTTA ET MONTALBANO, Marco Antonio 
Delia. (BORN: 1635; DIED: 1695) Italian aristrocat. 

MONTALBANI (the marquis Marc-Marc- Antoine), 
wire of the precedent, had been born in 1630. It was pursued 
the study of mineralogy particularly, and traversed as a 
naturalist the countries of the north of Europe. The king 
of Poland Jean-Casimir accomodated it with kindness at 
his court, and decorated it with the title of marquis. Marc 
returned to Italy, rich person of much of new knowledge;and 
after having exploited the coasts of the Adriatic, it returned 
to Bologna to lay out its materials and to put in order the 
collections which it had formed. It died there in 1695, at 
the 65 years age. There is of hirn 1 Catascopia minérale,

RARE. A handsomely illustrated textbook on 
mining and metallurgical operations, which contains 
much practical information. Adams describes it has 
"one of the most important of the early books on 
mining." It is particularly strong in describing the 
construction and operation of smelting furnaces. Also 
included are observations about various minerals and 
metals. The author supports Agricola's views in that 
metals and ores did not spring spontaneously into being 
at the moment the world was created. The unsigned 
plates picture a wide variety of furnaces and related 
technologies.

Rare. First printed catalogue of the library of 
the famous Bergakademie in Freiberg, Germany. This 
volume lists 17,836 books by author, with title, place 
and date of publication. Although three supplements 
were published, the projected subject classification that 
would be a companion to this original volume was never 
published. 

This Bergakademie's library is one of the greatest 
rnineralogical and geological collections yet assembled. 
Founded in 1766 with the Bergakademie it had 1875 
volumes by 1819 when it was fortunate to acquire the 
3306 works that composed the personal library of its 
most famous teacher, Abraham Gottlob Werner. The 
library continued to be enlarged through donations and 
purchases and still exists in Freiberg, Germany. Three 
supplements were published between 1893 and 1928.

Freiesleben 



FREIESLEBEN, Johann Carl. (Born: Freiberg, 
Germany, 14 June 1774; DlED: Nieder-Auerbach, 
Voigtland??, 20 March 1846) German mineralogist & 
geologist. 

Freiesleben studied under A. G. WERNER at the 
Bergakademie in Freiberg. In 1799, he was awarded the 
title of Bergmeister, and in 1800 he was appointed advisor 
to the mining council and director of mining activities in 
Eisleben. In 1838 he became Chief Mining Advisor for all 
of Saxony, a post he held until his retirement in 1842.

RARE. Freiesleben, a member of an old Freiberg 
mining family, was one of the most gifted and most 
learned students of Werner and a close friend of von 
Buch and Humboldt. The author later became chief 
administrator of the mines in the Kingdom of Saxony. 

"Through his exact and reliable descriptions of the 
Permian and Triassic sedimentary formations in Saxony 
and Thuringia he pushed beyond Werner to a greater 
knowledge of the stratigraphie relationships of these 
periods in central Germany and helped to create the 
basis for stratigraphie comparisons with neighboring 
regions. His painstaking and accurate data on mining

Rare, especially in complete sets. Each volume 
has its own special title page, as follows: Volumes 1— 
4. "Geognostischer Beytrage zur Kenntniß des Kupfer- 
schiefergebirges mit besonderer Hinsicht auf einen Theil 
der Grafschaft Mannsfeld und Thürigens." Volumes 5— 
6. "Beytrage zur mineralogischen Kenntniß von Sach- 
sen." 

The first volumes provide a geological description 
of the great copper deposits (known as the Kupfer- 
schiefergebirges) in Germany. Details are given of the 
locations, formations, ore types, history, etc. of the re- 
gion. The last two volumes of this series, Bey träge 
zur mineralogischen Kenntniß von Sachsen, describe 
the mineralogy of the region of Saxony in Germany. 
Freiesleben first describes the geological lay of the land, 
and the type of rocks found throughout. He then de- 
scribes iron and tin mining, and the various mineral 
species found. Basalt is then described. The work con- 
cludes with Freiesleben's descriptive mineralogy of all 
species known to occur in the Saxon regions.

VERY SCARCE. The first appearance of this 
bibliography was in the Bermännischen Journal for 
1816. This is a separate, expanded edition, bringing 
the bibliographic coverage up to 1820. It is a 
classified catalog biased to German literature with 
the first part covering writings in mineralogy, mining 
and metallurgy. Under this heading are listed 

bibliographies, dictionaries, works on nomenclature, 
periodicals, specialized writings in mineralogical 
chemistry and metallurgy, mineral analysis, mineral 
economics, and topographical works. The second 
portion covers textbooks of mineralogy, oryctognosy, 
classificatory works, petrology, and geognosy. The third 
section lists works on mining and mine procedures.

conclusion in 1890. In this work he reports on the 
process, equipment, and materials used, and describes 
the technical problems encountered in the synthesis. 
The numerous plates show the crystals in various stages 
of growth, the equipment, and jewelry made from stones 
faceted from the material.

Frenzel 



FRENZEL, Friedrich August. (Born: Freiberg, 
Germany, 24 May 1842; DIED: Freiberg, Germany, 27 
August 1902) German mineralogist. 

Frenzel won a scholarship to the Freiberg Bergakad- 
emie. Early on, he attracted the attention of A. Brei- 
THAUPT, who asked him to help arrange the museum collec- 
tions and determine their species. Under his mentor's di- 
rection, Frenzel soon was an expert mineralogist. However, 
his father died, and he had to contribute to his mother's 
support. He worked as a miner while completing his course 
work at Freiberg. After graduation, he accepted a position 
in the smelting laboratory of the town. He applied himself 
to the position, and he may have been the first researcher 
to isolate the element "Germanium," to which priority is 
given to G.G. WINKLER of Freiberg.

FRIEDEL, Charles. (BORN: Strausbourg, France, 12 
March 1832; DIED: Montauban, France, 20 April 1899) 
French chemist & crystallographer. 



Father of GEORGES FRIEDEL, Charles Friedel studied 
at the Sorbonne in Paris. He qualified in both chemistry 
and mineralogy and in 1856 was made curator of the 
collection of minerals at the Ecole des Mines. In 1871 
he became an instructor at the Ecole Normale and from 
1876 was a professor of mineralogy at the Sorbonne. 
Together with the U.S. chemist James Mason Crafts [1839- 
1917], he discovered the Friedel-Crafts reaction, which 
is useful in organic synthesis. Throughout his career, 
Friedel successfully combined his interests in chemistry and 
minerals, and authored important studies of pyroelectricity 
and of artificial synthesis of minerals.

structure of crystals. He recognized, in 1892, that liquid 
crystals had three types of organization (mesophases) . In 
1893, he became professor at the Ecole des Mines in Saint-

RARE. Complete descriptive catalog of the 

petrifications and other curious and rare stones and 
minerals, which were contained in the outstanding 
cabinet of Friedrich Hoffmann. Schröter considers 
the descriptions to be far to brief, incomplete and 
unreliable. At the conclusion of the catalog is a 
bibliography of the works referenced in the text. The 
MineraJienkabinett was acquired in 1777 by Johann 
Goldhagen and incorporated into his own natural 
history collections. Subsequently, in 1787, Goldhagen's 
collections were purchased by the University of Halle. 
The remains of it are held there today. 

Friedrich Hoffmann. (BORN: Halle, Germany, 19 

February 1660; DIED: Halle, Germany, 12 November 1742) 
German physician. Hoffmann was the son of Friedrich 
Hoffmann [1626-1675], a well-known municipal physician 
of Halle. In 1675, he lost both his parents and a sister 
within a few days. In his youth, he was educated at home, 
including instruction in anatomy and pharmacology. From 
1678 to 1680, he studied medicine at the University of Jena, 
receiving his M.D. in 1681. Afterward, Hoffmann embarked 
on an extended tour of Belgium, Holland, and England, 
studying medical methods. In 1681, he accepted a position 
at the University of Jena, but soon left due to jealousy 
from the senior faculty. For the next decade he successfully 
practiced his craft in Minden and Halberstadt. In 1693, 
Hoffmann was named the first professor of medicine at the 
University of Halle and charged with organizing the medical 
school. Except for a couple of tenures as court physician 
in Berlin, he remained in Halle. 

Johann Friedrich Gottlieb Goldhagen. (BORN: 

Nordhausen, Germany, 1742; DIED: Halle, Germany, 10 
January 1788) German physician & medical writer. In 
1769 Goldhagen was named professor extraordinary of 
philosophy and natural history at the University of Halle. 
In 1778 he was appointed professor of medicine and was 
given the title of city phyician. During his lifetime he 
built an extensive natural science collection, which was 
among the most important in Europe. Included was a large 
component of mineralogical specimens, rocks and fossils. In 
1787, his collections were puchased for 2,500 thaler by the 
University.

VERY SCARCE. This is a curious mixture of 
science and theology being a history of the physical 
world from creation to its presumed fiery end. Frisch 
discusses the geology and mineralogy of the Earth, the 
nature of light and the elements, and asks questions 
like "what among all things will pass or will melt?" , 
"what kind of fire will it be?", etc. All is considered 
in light of the creation and the millennium, with 
the general theological overtones. Frisch references 
Bernhard Wagners' Traciatus Theologicus de Fine 
Mundi (Leipzig, 1699) throughout his text. The plates 
show the earth in different stages since its creation, and 
other physical phenomena including the refraction of 
the sunbeams.

of specimens contained in the Copenhagen physician 
Henrick Furien's [1614-1659] museum, which together 
with a valuable library were bequeathed to the 
University of Copenhagen. The text provides the names 
of the various specimens and includes shells, minerals, 
plants, etc. It was compiled by Thomas Fuiren, the 
brother of Henrick after the later's death. Thomas 
had previously cataloged the library in Catalogue 
Bibliothecee Henrici Furien (Hafniee, 1660). 

This text of this catalog originally appeared in 
Thomas Bartholin's Domus Anatómica (Hafnise, 1662),

FULKE, William. (BORN: London, England, 1538; 
DIED: London, England?, 1589) English author. 

After studying at St Paul's School, Fulke attended St 
John's College, Cambridge and graduated in 1558. Finding 
he was not interested in his studies of law, he turned 
to mathematics, languages and theology. He authored 
many works in defense of Protestantism and in refuting 
the doctrines of the church of Rome. One particularly 
interesting non-theological works was a fantasy of an 
astronomical game in the manner of chess.

RARE. Fulkes astronomical and meteorological 

treatise had been first published in 1563 under title A 
goodly gallerye with a most pleasant prospect, into the 
garden of naturall contemplation, to behold the naturall 
causes of all kynde of meteors. It is here enlarged by 
an anonymous second part "Observations on Dr. F. his 
booke of meteors. By F.W." p(p. [157]-174.) Fulke 
uses the term Meteor to advance a unified theory of the 
earth and heavens as a series of effusions generated by 
the earth itself, namely the fiery; the airy; the watery; 
and the earthly. Within this framework he considers the 
nature and causes of comets, shooting stars, the aurora and 
other aerial phenonmena; clouds and storms; the nature 
of the rainbow (advancing a theory of the rainbow as 
light refracted through water vapour); rivers, lakes, hot 
springs and the sea; and the types of metals and minerals 
found within the earth. The work was evidently composed 
while Fulke was at Cambridge, from whence he graduated 
in 1563, and predates his celebrated Puritan polemics by 
nearly a decade. This scarce edition of 1654 list quartos 
of Othello and The Merchant of Venice among the books 
advertised by William Leake.

FYODOROV, Evgraf Stepanovich. (Born: Oren- 
burg, Russian, 22 December 1853; DIED: Petrograd, 
Russia, 21 May 1919) Russian crystallographer, ge- 
ometrist, petrologist, mineralogist and geologist. 

Fyodorov studied mathematics indepentently while 
attending the St. Petersburg Military Engineering School, 
the Military Medical and Surgical Academy, and the 
Technological Institute. Upon graduating from the Mining 
Institute in 1883, Fyodrov took an appointment with 
the Mining Department where he was included in an 
expedition to explore the northern Urals. He extended a 
very strong influence on the developement of mineralogy 
and crystallography at the end of the nineteenth century. 
His clssification of symmetry groups of crystallized matter 
lead directly to the working out of a new nomenclature of 
systems and point group symmetries known as Fyodorov— 
Groth nomenclature. Fyodorov's goniometer modifications 




Fyodorov (Federov) 



produced a revolution in the method of investigating 
minerals. Invented the universal stage (Fyodorov table) for 
pétrographie microscopes that would locate the specimen 
at the center of two glass hemispheres (Fyodorov method).

VERY RARE. This is Fyodorov's classic work 
that provides the deduction of the possible 230 space 
groups that now serve as the mathematical basis 
of structural and crystallographic analysis. Early 
in his career, Fyodorov became interested in the 
relationship between symmetry and crystallography. 
Extending the previous work of BRAVAIS and SOHNCKE, 
Fydorov focused his attention on the aggregate of 
point systems providing a complete derivation of 
real point systems and the derivation of all possible 
forms of crsytal structures with every group rigorously

determined by an algebreic determination. Symmetry 
of Real Systems of Configuration outlines Fydorov's 
methods that systematically developed the studies of 
symmetry as they pertain to natural crystals and shows 
conclusively that there are only 230 possible configures. 
Incredibly, the German crystallographer SCHOENFLIES 
almost similtanously derived the same configurations, 
although Fydorov clearly had priority. 

Separate preprints of this work were published 
in 1890 and presented by the author to his colleages 
and friends in Russia and Europe. The work was 
then printed as "Simmetrija pravil'nych sistem figur" 
in Zapiski S. Petersburg Mineral. Obsc, 2nd series, 28

VERY SCARCE. This is a German translation 
of the enormous "Tsarstvo Kristallov" ("The Crystal 
Kingdom") that appeared in Zapiski Rossiiskoi 
Akademii Nauk, 36 (1920). It was the culmination of 
Fyodorov's forty years of research in crystallography. 
Fydorov and his favorite students collected enorumous 
quantities of data from the measurments of all 
possible crystals. This information was categoriezed 
and published a year after Fydorov's death in this 
monumental work. From the geometry of the crystals, 
the author derives conclusions about their internal 
structure., an idea taken up by Harker, Donnay, and 
others in the following decades.

GADD, Pehr Adrian. (BORN: Birkala Parish, Finland, 
12 April 1727; DIED: Åbo, Sweden, 11 August 1797) 
Swedish chemist & mineralogist. 

Gadd was educated at the University of Abo, 
graduating with a philosophical degree. In 1750, he was 
appointed a docent in natural history. With the support of 
University and public funds, he undertook travels in 1753 
to 1755 throughout Finland to study nature and economics. 
Upon his return Gadd was appointed professor of physics, 
economics and chemistry at the University of Abo. In 
this capacity, ho showed his skill as an operative chemist, 
knowledge which he passed on to his many students. Gadd 
was a member of the Kungliga Svenksa Vetenpskapademien 
(Royal Swedish Academy of Science), and other learned 
si icieties.

[1701-1768], respondent. The "Brakengeruch" of the sea 
and the resulting sea sickness that results from it, Gadd 
attributes to the salty exhalations of the sea, which are 
not however of alkaline nature. The suffocating vapor 
(Mephitis) he considers as vitrolic, and believes that it 
also gives an arsenical scent, if a small amount of arsenic 
is present. There follows descriptions of sulfur-like and 
petroleum- like vapors. These last, Gadd believes are 
responsible for fire, though he notices a sulfur smell from 
the combustion fumes of petroleum.

GADOLIN, Aksel' Vil'gePmovich. (Born: Finland, 
12 (24) June 1828; DIED: St. Petersburg, Russia, 15 (27) 
December 1892) Russian scientist & artillery weapons 
expert. 

Gadolin graduated the Mikhail Artillery School in 
1849 and remained their to teach. He developed techniques 
for building high velocity canons, which significantly 
increased the range a shell could be propelled. He 
is remembered in crystallography for deriving the 32 
macrosymmetrical crystal groups, and devising a method 
for depicting these groups on a sphere that is still in use 
to the present. The St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences 
awarded him the Lomonosov prize for his crystallographic 
work, 1868.

4°: 156 р. 

EXTREMELY RARE. This is the separate appear- 
ance of Gadolin's Deduction of all Crystallographic Sys- 
tems and their Subdivisions by Means of a Single Gen- 
eral Principle that showed there are only a limited num- 
ber of possible crystallographic polyhedra possible. In 
1830 Carl Friedrich Naumann coordinated the crys- 
tallographic systems of Weiss and Mohs, but which to 
some degree ignored symmetry elements. In response 
Gadoin who was a Russian artillery professor and a tal- 
ented amateur crystallographer became agitated over 
Naumann 's lack of rational in developing his crystal- 
lographic descriptions. To better relate symmetry and 
crystallography Gadolin developed his own procedure 
for studying crystal symmetry. 

Beginning with the empirical law of rational pa- 
rameters Gadolin demonstrates in this work that it is 
possible to derive through deduction all the crystal- 
lographically possible polyhedra by studying how the 
elements of symmetry can be combined. In this way 
Gadolin shows that the resulting polyhedra can be di- 
vided into 32 classes varying by symmetry. He also 
states unequivocally and for the first time that two crys- 
tals should belong to the same crystal class if they have 
the same elements of symmetry. This is the foundation 
of modern classification into geometric crystal classes. 

Like some other scientific works this revolutionary 
work was largely overlooked at the time of its publica- 
tion. It was only in later years that Gadolin's crys- 
tal classes became generally accepted and led to many 
significant theories and practical studies. Even today 
and to the consternation of many student geologists the 
Gadolin classification is to be found worked out in many 
mineralogical textbooks.

Roller & 




Gadolin 

GADOLIN, Johan. (BORN: Åbo near Helsingfors 
(Helsinki), Finland, 5 June 1760; DIED: Wirmo, 
Finland, 15 August 1852) Finnish chemist. 

Son of astronomer and physicist Jacob Gadolin [1719- 
1802]. For a time, Johann was a student of BERGMAN at the 
University of Upsala. From 1786 to 1788, Johann traveled 
outland to complete his studies and broaden his knowledge. 
He became a docent at the University of Abo in 1789, 
and following Gadd's death, he was appointed professor 
of chemistry; a post he held until 1822. He specilized in 
the analysis of rare earth elements, and is credited with 
the discovery in 1794 of the element yttrium. Gadolin's 
mineral collection was destroyed in 1827 by fire when the 
Turku Academy burned down. Gadolin held membership 
in the Academy of Science in Stockholm. The mineral 
"Gadolinite" was name in his honor by M.H. Klaproth in 
1802.

chemical products, and consequently investigated 
through chemistry the minerals and rocks of his 
country. At that time, very little was known of mineral 
paragensis, but thanks to the publications of HaÜY 
and Berzelius a new foundation in mineral chemistry 
was being laid. In the Systema Fossilium, Gadolin 
creates a system of mineral classification based upon 
chemical principles. The introduction explains the 
reasons and application of Gadolin's theories, while the 
text is a systematic ordering of mineral species by their 
chemistry. The volume concludes with an index of 
mineral synonyms.

Rare. This is the earliest account of the varied 
volcanic ejecta found at Vesuvius. It is a descriptive 
catalog of 141 specimens contained in a mineralogical 
cabinet, and provides observations on the different min- 
erals and rocks, and a method of classification based 
upon the degree of calcination of the specimen. Con- 
tained at the end is a valuable early bibliography of 
writings on Vesuvius. 

The catalog gives details of the earliest mineralog- 
ical cabinet to describe the various ejecta of Mount 
Vesuvius and, together with GIOVANNI MARIA DELLA 
Torre's Storia e Fenomeni del Vesúvio (Napoli, 1755), 
provides the first ever descriptions of the volcano's min- 
erals and rocks. It concludes with a 14 page biblio- 
graphy of early works describing the volcano. In the 
history of mineralogy, Vesuvius is by far the most im- 
portant volcano, as it alone was accessible to scientists 
in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Thus, it 
was not only the source of rare and exceptionally beau- 
tiful minerals, but also facilitated the development of 
theories on mineral genesis. Later it was to become 
the birthplace of theoretical and practical vulcanology, 
when the world's first observatory was set up on the 
mountain's slopes in 1845.

Galissard de Marignac 

GALISSARD DE MARIGNAC, Jean-Charles. (Born:| 
24 April 1817; DIED: 15 April 1894) French mineralogist 
& chemist. 

Jean-Charles Galissard de Marignac from Geneva, 
was a pupil of Liebig. It was in Liebig's Giessen laboratory 
that de Marignac did his only researches on organic 
chemistry, on naphthalene and phthalic acid. He then 
changed to anorganic chemistry and commenced his carreer 
as professor of chemistry first at the Academy of Geneva, 
which was later to be made into the University.

Rare. REWORK COMMENTARY. Edited by 
Emile Ador [1845- ]. In 1878 Marignac was able 

to show that the rare earth known as erbia, obtained 
from gadolinite, could be decomposed into two oxides, 
one for which the name erbia was retained and a 
second which was called ytterbia. His most important 
work, however, consisted in the determination of the 
atomic weights of numerous elements, and in other 
subjects of inorganic chemistry. These two volumes

contain his numerous papers on inorganic chemistry and 
crystallography. In his most important, he showed that 
fluostannates and fluosilicates are isomorphous, thus 
establishing the formula of silica as Si02 and not Si03, 
and this produced a revolution in chemical mineralogy. 

His 111 published papers were handsomely 
reprinted as Oeuvres completes with portrait and a 
complete list of Marignacs atomic weights. When, 
in 1860, Stas dismissed Prout's law as an "illusion", 
Marignac cautioned that deviations from the law 
of definite proportions might sometimes occur — a 
possibility suggested by an erroneous view of the 
composition of acids which he then held. More 
speculatively, he suggested that Prout's law might be an 
"Ideal" law which was subject to perturbing influences 
such that the weights of the subatomic particles of 
the primordial matter did not add up to exactly the 
experimentally determined atomic weights. This daring 
speculation was revived in 1915 by W. D. Harkins and 
E. D. Wilson and from it the concept of the packing 
fraction was developed by F. W. Aston in 1920.

RARE. This five volume series is an early and 
important account of the Harz Mountains of Germany 
emphasizing the natural history of the region. Mining 
had occurred in the Harz since at least the 10th century 
and these volumes describe the mineral resources of 
the area including its copper, gold, silver and lead 
mines and the techniques for processing metals from 
their ores. Gatterer an instinctive bibliographer also 
provides extensive citations to other works regarding 
the Harz Mountains and mining in general. This work 
also contains much on the local animals and plants of 
the region. This appears to be a rare work especially in 
complete sets.

Rare. The first portion is a general bibliography 
of mineralogy, mining, minting, and salt containing 
some minor biographical information. This part 
originally appeared in 1785 but was very much 
expanded and published again in 1787, and this is the 
more common issue. In the meantime, the second part 
focusing on the Harz region of Germany and its mining 
bibliography was published in 1786. However, this work 
was eclipsed by Gatterer's Allgemeines Repertorium

VERY RARE. One of the great bibliographies of 
mineralogy and mining published in the eighteenth 
century. Particularly useful for its completeness, the 
bibliography's entries are broken into broad categories 
of historical works, bibliographies, deterministic 
mineralogy, crystallography, systems of classification, 
monographs on specific species, and topographical. 
Many of the entries contain references to contemporary 
reviews as well as Gatterer's succinct comments about 
the value of the listed title. Throughout the work liberal 
use is made of cross referencing, and at the end of 
volume two are extensive name and subject indexes.

GAUBERT, Paul Marie Benoit. (Born: St. Bauzély, 
Aveyron, France, 24 February 1865; DIED: Paris, 
France, May 1948) French mineralogist. 

Between 1883 and 1892, Gaubert was a student of 
Milne Edwards and ALFRED LACROIX, when he studied in 
Toulouse and Paris. From 1919 to 1920, he was professor 
of mineralogy at the Ecole des Mines (School of Mines) 
in Paris. But Gaubert's principle career began in 1893 as 
préparateur assistant and director of the laboratory at the 
Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. He remained with 
the Muséum until 1932. In 1909 and again in 1934, he was 
elected president of the French Mineralogical Society.

Extremely rare, with only one copy known 
so far. This prospectus advertises the upcoming 
publication of d'Agoty's Histoire Naturelle and solicits 
subscribers for the project [see next entry]. Included 
are 8 engraved plates of minerals created by the Le 
Blon/d'Agoty color printing process, and finished by 
hand. In 1776, a royal permission was granted to 
d'Agoty for the publication of a major work illustrating 
in color the three kingdoms of natural history in realistic 
depictions. This prospectus provides a sample of 
the d'Agoty's vision. He writes in the preface that 
black and white representations can not show minerals 



realistically, therefore his Histoire Naturelle will utilize 
printing in colors to convey nature authentically to 
the reader. Minerals will be the subject of the first 
portion, but will not go beyond 100 drawings, which 
should be adequate to show all features of this realm 
to subscribers. This prospectus is not listed in other 
bibliographies, and only one copy is currently known to 
exist.

PLATES: Common elements between all plates are 
the double rule border surrounding the illustration and 
the descriptive text. This border is sectioned into two 
compartments. The larger top compartment is used to 
display the mineral illustration, while the lower one is used 
for a text in French that describes the plate's subject and 
the collection from which the specimen came. The first 
state of plates 1—30 are all signed in a fashion similar to 
"Dessiné Gravé et Imprimé en Couleur par Fab. Gautier 
d'Agoty. 5. e Fils." These same plates in second state are 
not signed. Plates 31—40 are signed in a fashion similar to 
"Desfontaines del, et diree. Bonvallet Sculp," while plates 
41—70 are signed "Desfontaines del et sculp." The seventy 
plate descriptions are as follows:

VERY RARE. This book is one of the finest coloried 
mineralogies ever published. The process employed 
in producing this work initially involved the direct 
printing of primary colors on the plates, rather than the 
then common practise of hand coloring. By successive 
overprinting, each time with one of four different color 
inks, an accurate portrayal of the minerals was achieved. 
The process proves so successful within this volume, 
that this work ranks among the very finest of the early 
colored mineralogies ever published. Unfortunately for 
the collector, this work must also be considered to be 
among the very rarest of colored mineral books. 

In 1776, Fabien was granted a Royal Permission to 
print and sell a general Histoire Naturelle, which would 
describe and illustrate the three realms of nature. The 
1781 announcement and request for subscribers clearly 
outlined his intentions for the work. It would commence 
with a description of the mineral kingdom (Règne 
Minéral), and would appear in 8-10 "cashiers," each 
with ten plates (decades) and explanatory text by the 
great French crystallographer, JEAN В АР TISTE LOUIS 
ROME DE L'ISLE. Recommendations from mineralogists 
would be sought on which specimens to illustrate so 
that the reading public could gain a larger appreciation 
for this kingdom of nature. However, due to the death 
of d'Agoty soon after printing began, the publication 
as it was envisioned was never finished. In fact, only 
six or seven cashiers were published, and of these 
only the first three were engraved, printed and sold 
under Fabien's supervision. The remaining parts were 
published by his widow, Madame Veuve d'Agoty, whose 
name appears on the wrappers beginning with the 
fourth issue. In her efforts to complete the book she was 
assisted by François Louis SwEBACH Desfontaines 



and Bonvallet both of whom designed and engraved 
plates 31-40, while Desfontaines continued on alone 
producing plates 50-70 that comprise the remainder of 
the work. 

Many references to the first four installments 
appear in the second edition of Rome de l'Isle's 
Cristallographie (4 vols., Paris, 1783). But after those 
mentions the publishing history is obscure. The fact 
that the majority of copies of this book contain forty 
or less plates indicate the publication lapsed for some 
time after the fourth decade was issued. Only a few 
copies are known to contain plates 50-60, and only 
the British Library Catalog lists a copy with seventy 
plates, although no description text accompanies plates 
61-70. The lack of descriptions with the plates may 
indicate that the final installment was prepared after 
Rome de l'Isle's death in 1790. One last tantilizing 
clue appeared in the "Avertissement" to Desfontaine's 
Manuel Cristallographie (Paris, 1792). There he 
explains that he will complete a work begun by Rome de 
l'Isle and of which seven decades had already appeared. 
This is undoubtedly a reference to d'Agoty's work, 
but alas Desfontaine's claim was never fulfilled, and 
the last hope for continuing Fabien's remarkable book 
evaporated. 

There is strong indication that coloring the plates 
by successive over printing probably caused tremendous 
difficulties. Of the several copies of this work examined, 
all contain a mixture of plates that are either color 
printed or hand-colored. The process employed on 
individual plates can be indentified by looking for the 
four tiny pin holes at the corners of the color printed 
plates that were used to register the paper on the press. 
In addition, plates 1-40 that are known to have been 
color printed, are also known in hand colored states. 
Copies of this book with color print plates are the more 
uncommon and more desireable to obtain.

Marseille, Franch, 1716; DlED: Paris, France, 1785) 
French printer & publisher. 

In his youth, Gauthier d'Agoty was probably trained 
as an artist and engraver. He moved to Paris about 1736, 
and became an apprentice to Jacques Christophe Leblon 
[1670-1741] who had secured in 1737 an exclusive privilege 
to use a three color printing process that he had invented. 
In 1738 Gauthier struck out on his own and founded his own 
printing and engraving operation that utilized a four color 
process to improve the final renderings. Thus established 
Gauthier produced color plates showing historical scenes, 
landscapes, portraits, anatomical diagrams, flowers, and 
other natural objects.

VERY RARE. Edited by Jacques-Fabien Gauthier 
d'Agoty. This rare periodical publication contains 
information about the arts and sciences, new 
discoveries, and philosophical and artistic controversies. 
It was illustrated with plates engraved using the process 
invented by J.C. Le Bion and improved by Gauthier 
D'Agoty. The illustrations were printed from four 
separate plates colored with red, yellow, blue, and black 
inks. 

Continued as: Observations Périodiques sur 1а 
Physique, l'Histoire Naturelle, et les Beaux-Arts, of 
which volume one was edited by J. Gauthier d'Agoty 
and volume two by F.V. Toussaint. The plates were 



executed by Arnaud Eloi Gauthier d'Agoty [1741-1780],

LVII. I Avec Privilege Du Roi. 

4 o : [34] p., 43 mezzotint plates (printed in colors). 

VERY RARE. The majority of these plates relate 
to the anatomy of the humans. They were sold 
separately by subscription and amounted to a total of 
43 exquisitely colored depictions executed by Jacques 
Gauthier d'Agoty and his son Arnaud Eloi Gauthier 
d'Agoty [1741-1780]. The title indicates that one or 
more plates are relevant to mineralogy, but no copy 
of this work has been examined to authenticate this 
supposition.

employed by the Japanese and Chinese. The present 
title concentrates on the inorganic and mineralogical 
objects and was published across two parts in 1878 
and 1883 (it is not known if the other two realms 
were ever published). Included are descriptions of the 
minerals and mineral resources as they were known in 
late nineteenth century China and Japan. The author 
a chemist and prize winning mineral collector has relied 
heavily on previous books to formulate the body of his 
own work. His citations include ancient native works as 
well as titles published since 1712 by European visitors. 
Full historical descriptions are given of the ancient 
oriental technologies for mining and the processing of 
the recovered ores. Some of these are depicted on the 
plates that show oriental figures at work mining and 
milling ore as well as depictions of the ancient tools 
used in mining. Mention is also made of the mineral 
species known in the region. The work was published 
in Yokohama, Japan by C. Levy who arrived in 1868, 
founded a French language newspaper and printed small 
press runs of works for the small group of Europeans 
that were established in Japan.

GEIKE, Archibald. (BORN: Edinburgh, Scotland, 28 
December 1835; DIED: Halsemere, Surrey, England, 10 
November 1924) Scottish geologist. 

In the early part of this century, one of the most 
well known and respected geologists was Edinburgh-born 
Archibald Geikie, expert on the processes of erosion. In 
1855, Geike was appointed to the Geological Survey of 
Great Britain under Murchison and ten years later was 
elected to the prestigious Royal Society, also becoming the 
first Director of the Scottish Geological Survey founded in 
1867. Geikie's studies showed that rivers play a major 
role in soil erosion and established him as the foremost 
advocate of the fluvial theories of erosion. His best own 
works include: The Scenery of Scotland (1865), Life of 
Sir R. J. Murchison (1875, Test-Book of Geology (1882), 
The Founders of Geology (1897), The Ancient Volcanoes of 
Great Britain (1897) and Outlines of Field Geology (1876), 
most of which have remained in general use, having been 
reissued at various dates.

SCARCE. One of the best histories of geology 

and accompanying sciences ever published in the English 
language. It recounts the story of the progress of geological 
ideas by reviewing the careers of some of the leaders 
by whom the progress was chiefly effected, giving full 
consideration to the lives and work of these major figures, 
and indicating in the process how geological ideas arose 
and were slowly worked out into the forms which they now 
wear. Some of the men whose careers and contributions 
are examined are Palissy, Guettard, Desmarest, Pallas, De 
Saussure, Arduino, Lehmann, Fuchsel, Werner, Hutton, 
Playfair, Sir James Hall, Giraud-Soulavie, Cuvier, Michell, 
Lyell, Logan, Darwin, Agassiz, Nicol, and others. 

The author discusses such matters as geological ideas 
among the Greeks and Romans; growth of geological ideas 
in the Middle Ages; scientific cosmogonists- Descartes and 
Leibnitz; the rise of geology in France; the foundation of 
volcanic geology; the rise of geological travel; the history of 
the doctrine of geological succession; the Wernerian school 
of geology; the rise of the modern conception of the theory 
of the earth; the birth of experimental geology; the rise 
of stratigraphical geology and paleontology; early teachers 
and textbooks; the transition or Greywacke formation 
resolved into the Cambrian, Silurian and Devonian 
systems; the primordial fauna of Barrande; the pre- 
Cambrian rocks first begun to be set in order; the influence 
of Darwin; adoption of zonal stratigraphy of fossiliferous 
rocks; the rise of glacial geology; the development of 
geological map-making in Europe and North America; the 
rise of petrographical geology; and other related topics.

metallurgist. 

Brother of a famous German poet. Gellert studied at 
Meissen and Leipzig. From 1736 through 1737, he worked 
as an instructor at the Gymnasium in Petersburg, then 
he became adjunct at the Akademie der Wissenschaften 
until 1746. In 1747 he settled in the mining town of 
Freiberg he held several positions related to the mining 
and metallurgical industry. At the founding of the 
BergAkademie in 1765, he was appointed professor of 
metallurgy and chemistry. Gellert introduced the process 
of cold extraction of precious metals by the use of mercury, 
a works (the largest of the time) being built in at Halsbruck 
in 1790.

VERY SCARCE. Second greatly enlarged edition 
of this very popular work on metallurgical and 
mineralogical chemistry. It includes the addition of a 
second volume titled Anfangsgründe zur Probierkunst, 
which provides an introduction to assaying techniques. 
In this work he modified Geoffrey's affinity table by 
having a table of 28 columns of symbols in which 
substances having the least affinity with the substance 
at the head of the column ar put on top, i.e. the reverse 
of Geoffrey's order. In this work on the density of alloys 
he showed that this may be greater or less than the 
calculated by the mixture rule; it was mostly greater. 
Gellert attributes this to the exisitance of pores in the 
metals. He also experimented the magnetism of alloys 
of iron.

VERY SCARCE. Translation by John Seiferth [fl. 
1775] from the first volume only of Anfangsgründe zur 
metallurgischen Chymie (Leipzig, 1751-5). This remarkable 
and highly valued work is one of the most comprehensive 
textbooks written in the 18th century. It provides 

interesting details on many theoretical and practical 
subjects related to mineralogy and chemistry. Geliert wrote 
it partially as a duty of his office as assayer in Freiberg and 
partially because no other treatise sufficiently covered its 
subject. The text is divided into 2 parts. The first concerns 
theoretical matters and includes what is essentially a 
textbook of mineralogy, including discussions of minerals 
in general, and the classification of species into Earths, 
Stones, Salts, Phlogiston, Metals, Semi-Metals, Ores and 
Mineral Earths and Waters. Other theoretical sections 
describe chemical agents such as fire, air, water and earth, 
chemical apparatus, and chemical manipulation derived 



from numerous previous authors. Practical considerations 
are covered in the second part of the text. Here 97 
experiments are described in detail, and events such as 
the extraction of salts and solutions from vegetables, 
manufacture of nitre, salt ammoniac, vitriol, alum and 
various acids are covered. Throughout the entire work, 
Geliert has infused the text with practical observations 
based on his own experience.

(BORN: Wachtersbach, Hess— Cassei, Germany, 17 May 
1820; DIED: Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia, U.S.A., 2 
February 1893) German chemist & mineralogist. 

Genth attended the University of Marburg, 1845- 
1848. Thereafter he emigrated to the U.S.A., finding 
employment as a mining geologist throughout much of 
his career. In 1872, he became professor of chemistry at 
the University of Pennsylvania. He remained there until 
1888. He was appointed the chief chemist and mineralogist 
of the second Pennsylvania Geological Survey. Genth's 
research focused on rare minerals and meteorites, and he 
eventually described 23 new mineral species. He advertised 
his mineral collection for sale, but this was eventually 
given, bequeathed or purchased by Pennsylvania State 
University.

Etienne François Geoffroy 

GEOFFROY, Etienne François. (Born: Paris, 
France, 13 February 1672; DlED: Paris, France, 6 

January 1731) French apothecary & chemist. 

Geoffroy weis the fifth generation of a prominent 
family of Parisian apothecaries that extended back to 
1584. He learned the trade from his father, and was 
further inspired by the many scientists that visited the 
family residence. He attended the University in Montpellier 
where he attended courses at the medical school without 
matriculating. Returning to Paris in 1694, he became a 
master apothecary, later turning his attention to the study 
of medicine. He earned the bachelor's degree in Paris in 
1702, and eventually graduated M.D. at Paris in 1704. 
This was followed by a succession of positions at a number 
of institutions around Paris: 1707, demonstrator at the 
Jardin du Roi. 1709-1731, professor of medicine at the 
Collège Royal. 1712, lecturer in chemistry at the Jardin 
du Roi. 1712-1730, professor of chemistry at the Jardin du 
Roi. 1715, pensionnaire chemist the the Académie. 1726/7- 
1728/9, dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine.

Georgi established an apothecary in Stendal, but 
moved his establishment in 1770 to St. Petersburg. Using 
this as a home base he made many explorations in the 
Russian territory. In 1783, he was elected a member of 
the Academy of Science in St. Petersburg.

Rare. Georgi participated in academic expedi- 
tions to explore the Russian Empire. His travel account 



contains information on the ethnology, economy, biol- 
ogy and geology of the areas visited. The first volume 
includes a detailed map of Lake Baikal. During the 1772 
journey, Georgi worked alongside the ailing Johan Peter 
Falck, who committed suicide in Kazan in 1774. The 
second volume continues with his journey with Peter 
Sirnon Pallas from Irkutsk to Ekaterinburg, across the 
Urals, and back to St. Petersburg in 1773-74. Special 
emphasis is placed on the mines and foundries of the 
Perm region.

Grundiss des Mineralsystems zu Vorlesungen in which 
he stressed chemical composition. - A polymath and a 
collector, Gerhard built an important collection of min- 
erals and other curiosities of nature. These were de- 
posited in the Academy in 1781 in return for a pension. 
They formed the core of the Academy's holdings, were 
extensively used, and were generously supplemented by 
other collectors. Today, his minerals and his archive are 
preserved in the Berlin Institute for Mineralogy.

mineral species to determine its placement within the 
classification. Three appendices follow the descriptive 
mineralogy. The first on pages 281—287 deals with 
newly discovered species and those minerals not yet 
fully described. The second on pages 287—291 covers 
petrifications and fossils, while the third pages 291—

folding table at the end provides a general list of

GERSAINT, Edme François. (Born: Paris, France, 
1694; DIED: Paris, France, 24 March 1750) French 
antiquarian, art collector & dealer. 

On Gersaint's marriage in 1718 to Marie-Louise Sirois 
[1698-1725] he came within the circle of Antoine Watteau's 
closest friends and this determined his future life. Just 
prior to his marriage, Gersaint had purchased the stock and 
business of the painter and dealer Antoine Dieu; however, 
a few days after he took possession, the building and 
its contents were destroyed by fire. Although this must 
have been a set back, Gersaint continued and through his 
connections with the artists of Paris was quickly able to 
build his stock back up. He soon became one of the best 
known art dealers of the eighteenth century. By the early 
1730's, Gersaint had developed interests in shells, minerals, 
lacquer and porcelain. He made several journeys during the 
1730s to the Netherlands in search of stock. This resulted 
in a series of catalogues of the curiosities, as well as prints 
and drawings, which he offered for sale. Gersaint took an 
early interest in the etchings of Rembrandt, of which his 
catalogue raisonné was published posthumously in 1751.

Rare. Ostensibly a sale catalog of the author's 
natural history collection, but actually a pocket- 
size introduction to conchology. It contains some 
observations on shells, a list of the principle cabinets 
of shells in France and Holland, and at pages 30-45 a 
bibliography of the more important conchological titles. 
It was published after the author had returned to Paris 
from an extended trip throughout Holland. Although 
principally on shells, the list of cabinets contains some 
useful information for the history of mineralogy as it 
pertains to the natural history cabinets.

VERY RARE. Comté Joseph Bonnier de la Mosson 
[see note below], a wealthy amateur, was the owner 
of one of the most famous collections of natural 
history objects and scientific instruments. This sale 
catalog lists 966 lots with brief descriptions, including 
illustrated books and works of art. Among the 
different sections of the scientific collections may be 
mentioned the following: Cabinet d'Anatomie (pages 
1-4), Cabinet de Chimie ou Laboratorie (pages 5- 
16), Cabinet de Pharmacie (pages 11-18), the natural 
history cabinet containg mostly minerals (pages 54-82), 
and the Cabinet de Mécanique et de Physique (pages 83- 
172), in which 222 scientific instruments and machines 
are listed and described in detail, including descriptions 
of many microscopes and a whole treatise on telescopes 
(pages 116-20). 

Comté Joseph Bonnier de la Mosson. (BORN: 

Montpellier, France, 6 September 1702; DIED: Paris, 
France, 26 July 1744) French financier, patron and collector. 
In 1726 Bonnier resigned from a successful military career 
in order to succeed his father as treasurer for the Etats du 
Languedoc. Bonnier divided his time between Paris and 
Montpellier. He built a very large collection of natural 
history objects, including minerals. A major portion of 
this accumulation was ultimately acquired by the Natural 
History Museum in Paris.

RARE. Auction catalog of Quentin de Lorangère 
[see note below]. The sale took place 2 March 
1744 and days thereafter. This is one of the most 
important catalogs prepared by the prolific Gersaint 
and is innovative is several ways. Besides the substanial 
descriptions of the collection objects, he has included 
biographies of several artists. In addition, the catalog 
also includes the most complete list of the work of the 
French artist and engraver, Jacques Callot [1592-1635], 
including prints not included in the sale. 

The collection was notable for its fine paintings, 
drawings and prints. The drawings were mainly Dutch 
and Flemish, including numerous landscapes, or French. 
Also included were a group of almost 500 drawings by 
Claude Gillot. The prints represented a comprehensive 
survey of the Northern, Italian and French schools. 
Also included in this catalog are his collections of 
illuminations, books, shells, corals, atlases and maps, 
and natural history objects including a few minerals. 

Quentin de Lorangère. (BORN: ; DIED: Paris, 

France?, before March 1744) French patron & collector. 
French art patron and collector. Quentin is only known 
through the sale of his collections, which began in Paris on 
2 March 1744. He had been a collector for some time, as 
Gersaint records that he had sold his own extensive shell 
collection to Quentin in 1737.

VERY SCARCE. Collection catalog of M. le 

Chevalier de La Roque's [see note below] collections. 
La Roque was enthusiastic for the visual arts as 
expressed in his eclectic collection, which is described 
in some detail in this sales catalogue. Gersaint was 
among his circle of friends and he has written a fine 
catalogue of the collections. In addition to paintings, 
there are also described line drawings, prints, bronzes, 
sculptures, porcelain, lacquer, diamonds, semi-precious 
stones, engraved gems, shells, corals, books, and maps. 
Many of the 300 pictures are the product of Dutch 
and Flemish masters including several by Rubens and 
Rembrandt. The precious stones, agates, engraved 
gems and coral are described on pages 109-162. 
Included are diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, 
topaz, oriental amethyst, turquoise, opal, etc. 

Chevalier Antoine de la Roque. (BORN: Marseille, 

Franch, 1672; DIED: Paris, France, October 1744) French 
dramatist, jouranalist & poet. French soldier, dramatist, 
journalist, poet and collector. La Roque was the son 
of a family of successful merchants, and travelled widely 
in France and abroad, including Constantinople and the 
Levant. He fought in the War of the Spanish Succession, 
losing a leg at the Battle of Malplaquet (1709), for which he 
was awarded a pension by Louis XIV. He knew many artists 
and writers, having himself composed several operas. In 
1721 he became associated with the semi-official periodical, 
Merure de France, of which he became owner and publisher 
in 1724.

VERY RARE. Posthumous auction sale catalog 
of Claude- Joseph Geoffroy 's [see note below] natural 
history cabinet, listing 597 lots of minerals, crystals, 
petrifications, shells, corals, and other curiosities of 
nature, which was one of the more important 18th 
century cabinets. According to Lugt, the sale took 
place after 5 February 1754 and following days. Since 
this catalogue appeared several years after Gersaint's 
death, it is likely that it was prepared years before and 
updated by Geoffroy as new objects were added. "Les 
Pètrificaitons, les Pierres fines, &õ les Crystaux forment 
une belle suite; mais surtout celle des Mines est très 
riche, &¿ l'on y reconnaît le goût du Possesseur de ce 
Cabinet, pour la Minéralogieet la Chymie" (Preface). 

Claude-Joseph Geoffroy. (BORN: Paris, France, 8 

August 1685; DIED: Paris, France, March 1752) French 
botanist & chemist. Geoffroy was born into an important 
family of Parisian apothecaries, which is the profession he 
followed. Through his profession he became a competant 
botanist and when chemistry attracted his attention, he 
persued the study with intensity. He was elected a member 



to the class of chemistry in the Royal Academy of Sciences 
in Paris on 7 December 1715.

GESNER, Abraham. (BORN: Cornwallis Township, 
Nova Scotia, 1797; DlED: Halifax, Nova Scotia, 29 April 
1864) Canadian geologist. 

Early on Gesner developed an interest in geology. 
After he studied medicine in London, he returned to 
Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, setting up a medical practice and 
in his spare time he collected fossils from the area. It is said 
Gesner often gathered specimens on his way to and from 
house calls, and built up an extensive collection. In 1838, 
he became the first government geologist in a British colony 
when appointed Provincial Geologist of New Brunswick. In 
an effort to combat a serious personal debt, in April 1842 
he opened the first museum in Canada, "Gesner Museum" , 
where he charged admission to view his private collection. 
His creditors eventually took over his collection in lieu 
of payment, however. In 1890, it was acquired by the 
Natural History Society of New Brunswick and added to 
the New Brunswick Natural History Museum in St John 
as the core of the museum. Gesner then immigrated to 
the United States where he developed and patented a 
process for manufacturing kerosene, for which he is still 
famous. Gesner was invited back to Dalhousie University, 
Nova Scotia, as a professor of chemistry, but died shortly 
thereafter.

but from the general support the book has received, a 
map has been prepared, at a considerable additional 
expense.". He divides the country into four districts 
and discusses each in turn, as well as providing a concise 
introduction to the sciences of geology and mineralogy, 
including explanations of the competing theories of this 
still-developing field. Plates: frontispiece of Farrsboro

Gesner 

GESNER, Conrad. (BORN: Zurich, Switzerland, 26 
March 1516; DIED: Zurich, Switzerland, 13 December 
1565) Swiss polymath. 

Gesner received a classical education at Strasbourg, 
Bourges, Paris and Basel. He became professor of Greek, 
at the University of Lausanne, 1537—40. Gesner furthered 
his education by studying medicine at Montpellier and 
Basel, finally receiving his M.D. from the later in 1541. 
Became lecturer in Zurich, 1546—67, as well as city 
physician from 1554. Gesner was a Renaissance scholar, 
who applied himself to medicine, linguistics, theology, 
bibliography, geology, zoology, and botany. His many and 
important botanical and zoological publications brought 
Gesner wide recognition and a reputation as one of the 
greatest naturalists of the sixteenth century. Gesner's 
Bibliotheca Universalis (Zurich, 1545), that lists all Hebrew, 
Greek, and Latin books known to him in 20 volumes, 
earned him the title, "Father of Bibliography."

VERY SCARCE, perhaps rare in complete copies. 
This very important sixteenth century work is a 
collection of eight separate tracts most with their own 
title page by seven authors all edited and several 
with commentary by Gesner. The volume contains 
an early illustrated work that deals solely with fossils, 
metals, minerals, and gems, as well as the earliest 
catalog of a mineral collection. Therefore, this work 
had a substantial rôle to play in the development of 
mineralogy and gemology. 

The printing history of this collected work is a 
difficult bibliographic problem. Each of the included 
works is known to exist as its own separate volume, 
including Kentman's Catalogvs, which does not have a 
title page. Furthermore, complete collections of these 
tracts as described here are a rarity. Usually, defects 
are present in one or more of the individual works, 
or sometimes complete sections are absent from the 
collection. This suggests that the collected volume 
was assembled from the remaining stock of the various 
treatises by the publisher. Below are given the details of 
the individual works that are contained in the volume. 



[A]. KENTM ANN, Johann.

8°: [a5v]-[a8v] A-M 8 ; 99.5f.; [3.5], 96 f., last folio 
blank. The half leave is a result of the work starting on 
the verso of leave a5. 

This early catalog describes the "fossils" or 
"things dug from the earth" collected by JOHANNES 
Kentmann. Although some petrified remains of animal 
and plants are included in the descriptions, it is 
essentially a portrait of a fifteenth century mineral 
collection. This treatise is therefore the earliest work 
to catalog mineralogical items in their own right. 

The text gives a detailed inventory of 1,608 
individual specimens, with an unusual feature for the 
period of providing accurate locality information for 
each sample described. As would be expected, over 
1,100 of the specimens originated from the region 
around Saxony where Kentmann flourished. Yet a 
suprising aspect are the 472 specimens described as 
having come from foreign lands. This indicates the 
vigor and great expense Kentmann used to acquire 
material for his ever growing collection. Unfortunately, 
none of the specimens was illustrated. However, a 
major novelty of the work was a woodcut illustration of 
the actual mineral cabinet used to store the collection. 
The picture shows thirteen drawers that were used 
to segragate the specimens. This closely follows the 
method of classification outlined in the text. 

The system devised by the author is based 
principally on the work of GEORG AGRÍCOLA, but 
modified and enlarged upon Gesner's insistance. It 
consists of twenty- six major divisions with headings 
such as earths, stones, flourites, hard-bodied minerals, 
marbles, ores of gold, silver, copper and lead, pyrites, 
antimony, iron, etc. Each division was then subdivided 
according to the kind of species. For example, this 
separation included male and female loadstone, which 
respectively, attracted or repeled iron particles. A good 
modern translation and analysis of Kentmann's work is 
provided in Prescher, H., J. Helm and G. Fraustadt, 
"Johannes Kentmanns Mineralienkatalog, aus dem 
Jahre 1565," Abhandlungen des Staatlichen Museums für 
Mineralogie und Geologie zu Dresden, 30 (1980), 5-152.

One of the earliest treatises on amber containing 
in its first section strange religious references while the 
second section describes the origin of amber based upon 
earlier writers. In the first part, Goebel attributes the 
many forms, shapes, and inclusions of amber to divine 
influence and proclaims it to be proof of Christianity. 
In the second part, he believes amber to be a type 
of hardened bituminous petroleum, formed inside the 
earth and subsequently bleed out to the sea floor.

Cordus' postumonus work for which Gesner 
wrote the preface and commentary. This monograph 
examines "efflorescences" of salt found floating on the 
sea, which had come to the notice of ancients Galen 
and Dioscorides. They prescribed it for relief from skin 
diseases. Gesner in his commentary which is as long as 
the treatise itself, refutes the popular belief that these 
salts were the sperm of whales, and instead attributes 
the phenomena to salt crystals falling out of the brine 
solution. A curious medical and mineralogical treatise, 
with an amusing link to whales.

This treatise considers the twelve gemstones 
contained in the breastplate of Aaron, the High Priest 
of the Jews and founder of the Jewish priesthood. It is 
perhaps the earliest printed work to treat the subject, 



although many earlier manuscripts existed. It is in 
the form of a letter from Ephphanius to his friend, 
Diodorus, Bishop of Tyre, and discusses the jewels set 
in the breastplate (Exodus 28, 17—20). These stones 
are: sard, topaz, emerald, carbuncle, sapphire, jasper, 
lyncurius, agate, amethyst, chrysolite, beryl and onyx. 
Appended is a short essay describing Biblical mentions 
of the diamond. Gesner 's commentary at the conclusion 
discusses the stones, with a diagram showing their 
positions. Sinkankas (1993) for a list of other editions.

This lapidary is the second edition of a work first 
published at Paris in 1547. The first book describes 
the origin of gemstones, their virtuous properties, the 
reasons behind their powers citing numerous earlier 
writers as authorities, but always stressing that God 
has the ability to impart such phenomena to stones. 
The second book is descriptive in nature, treating the 
characteristics and physical and mystical properties 
of individual gemstones, including jasper, sapphire, 
ruby, emerald, beryl, topaz, opal, amber, diamond, 
etc. Thorndike considers the work to be "... a 
compendium of past lore with little or nothing in 
the way of personal observation or classification." 
Sinkankas (1993) provides a description of the other 
editions.

This work is especially interesting as presenting 
a picture of the mineral kingdom as seen from the 
viewpoint of the greatest naturalist of his time. It 
marks a deliberate departure from earlier medieval 
lapidaries in that little or no comment is made of the 
miraculous virtues attributed to minerals. Instead, 
Gesner describes the characters by which they may be 
identified. Gesner writes that this work was written 
rapidly for his own pleasure and recreation and that a 
more detailed treatment would follow, so that students 
would be stimulated and encouraged to study minerals,

fossils and stones. However, Gesner died of plague 
shortly after this treatise was published, and the larger 
work never appeared. 

Gesner writes that De Rerum Fossilium is the first 
work on its subject to be illustrated by cuts and figures. 
Adams (1938) notes this is substantially correct, 
although the four illustrations in CHRISTOPH ENZELT's 
De Re Metallica (1st ed., Frankfort, 1551) predate 
it. In addition, the lapidary portions of the early 
herbáis, especially the Hortus Santias (1st ed., 1491) 
were commonly illustrated with cuts, sometimes hand- 
colored. Gesners work though is the first to contain 
such a large number of mineralogical illustrations to 
facilitate the commentary of the text. He hoped that 
the illustrations in the book would assist students and 
then refers to the difficulty which he experienced in 
giving adequate representations of the minerals and 
rocks as compared to the animals and plants. 

Gesner deviates from almost all previous authors 
on minerals by presenting his description of minerals 
not as an alphabetical list, but in a true system of 
classification. In his numerous other writings on plants 
and animals, he always attempted to classify natural 
objects in an organized heirarchy. When his attention 
was turned to minerals, he faced a difficult problem. 
There was no well defined and recognized form by 
which the natural objects from the earth could be 
classified. Furthermore, the fossilized remains of plants 
and animals were at the time not differentiated from 
true minerals. Gesners solution to the problem was 
quaint and interesting. He writes in the dedicatory 
epistle that he was unwilling to adopt an alphabetical 
arrangement as most earlier writers had done because 
he considered the method to be trivial. In the present 
work, he intends to present a method that draws upon 
the form of the substance being described, which is why 
the illustrations were included. By this method, the 
classification will follow in the steps of nature, and will 
by the same measure reveal her secrets. 

First taking the simplest of forms of fossils, or 
those that resemble lines, angles, circles or allied shapes 
as seen in the heavens or in the elements, Gesner will 
pass on to consider forms of ever greater complexity, 
descending as it were by degrees from heaven to the 
earth. Using this methodology Gesners classification 
consists of 15 distinct classes. Class 1 contain those 
fossils that suggest points, lines and angles. Included 
are all transparent and translucent minerals, bodies like 
pumice whose surface depressions are usually rounded 
in shape, asbestos, natrolite because of their fiberous 
nature, quartz, pyrite because of their regular angles. 
Class 2 consider items whose name is derived from some 
heavenly body or from one of the Aristotelian elements. 
Included are moonstone, aquamarine, and opal. Class 
3 are those that take their name from something in the 
sky. This embraces all fossil Echinoderms as well as 
Neolithic stone axes and other weapons. Class 4 are 
those named after terrestrial objects, like chrysolite, 
lead and other metallic ores. Class 5 resemble certain 
artificial things like belemnites (for darts). Class 6 



are artificial items made from metals, stones or gems. 
Included are mariners compass and lead pencils (first 
pictured in this work). Class 7 resemble plants and 
herbs. Class 8 are those that have the form of shrubs, 
like coral. Class 9 resemble trees or portions of trees, 
such as petrified wood and coal plants. Class 10 
Corals. Class 11 are other sea plants that have become 
stone. Class 12 bear resemblance to men or four footed 
animals. Native silver because of its hair like form, 
hematite carnelian, blood stone because of it similarity 
to blood. Class 13 consist of stones derived from the 
names of birds. Class 14 resemble things that live in 
the sea, such as glossoptera (fossil shark teeth). Class 
15 have the form of insects or serpents. Included 
are ammonites, ophites and others, as well as insects 
included in amber. Interestingly, Gesner considers those 
items that resemble the fossilized remains of animals 
to be just that, while other fossils of less distinct 
form are not. The observations outlined in this work 
were derived from Gesners own keen mind, while the 
depictions of the various items were probably derived 
from specimens contained in his own collection.

German mineralogist, actor & poet. 

Born the son of a craftsman, Giesecke studied for a 
time in Göttingen, but moved to Vienna and from 1790 
to 1804 became a playwright and actor. He is thought 
by some to be the librettist behind Mozart's last opera, 
"Die Zauberflöte" (The Magic Flute). He traveled to 
Copenhagen, and established himself has a mineral dealer. 
From 1806 to 1813, he explored Greenland collecting 
minerals, and on his return went to Dublin where he 
was soon appointed professor of mineralogy at the Royal 
Academy in Dublin.

VERY SCARCE. The dedication praises the Royal 
Dublin Society for allowing Giesecke the opportunity to 
prepare this catalog of the society's mineral collection. 
The system chosen for arranging the species is based 
upon external characters. With the addition of a 
separate tract on Irish mineralogy that lists those 
minerals that had so far been discovered in Ireland, it 
is clear that this Catalogue was also intended to help 
promote the study of mineralogy in the country. The 
collection was merged with the museums of natural 
history and industry in 1877 to form the present day 
National Museum of Ireland.

Gr ni. Bd. 35.] Very scarce. 

GILBERT (Gilberd), William. (Born: Colchester, 
England, 1544 not 1540; DIED: London, England?, 
30 November 1603) English physicist & natural 
philosopher. . 

Gilbert was born the son of a well-to-do town official 
He attended St. John College, Cambridge, from 1558 
to 1570 (B.A., 1561, M.A., 1564, M.D., 1569). While 
attending Cambridge he became a Junior Fellow of St. 
Johns in 1561. He was the mathematics examiner in 
the college, 1565-6 and bursar, 1569-70. He became a 
Senior Fellow in 1569. Although no one knows, it seems 
likely that Gilbert devoted the decade after his graduation 
to the study of magnetism. During this period he was 
supported through inheritances. In late 1507 he established 
a successful medical practice, becoming one of London's 
most prominent physicians. From 1600 to 1603, he was 
one of the personal physicians to Elizabeth I, for which he 
received a stipend of $100 from the Royal Treasury. Before 
Gilbert's death he was also physician to James I.

RARE. The first major English scientific treatise 
based on experimental methods of research and the 
foundation work of magnetism and electrical science. 
Gilbert uses here for the first time the terms 
"electricity," "electric force," and "electric attraction." 

Book I "deals with the history of magnetism from 
the earliest legends about the lodestone to the facts 
and theories known to Gilbert's contemporaries... In 
the last chapter of book I, Gilbert introduced his 
new basic idea which was to explain all terrestrial 
magnetic phenomena: his postulate that the earth is a 
giant lodestone and thus had magnetic properties... The 
remaining five books of the De magnete are concerned 
with the five magnetic movements: coition, direction, 
variation, declination, and revolution. Before he began 
his discussion of coition, however, Gilbert carefully 
distinguished the attraction due to the amber effect 
from that caused by the lodestone. This section, 
chapter 2 of book II, established the study of the amber 
effect as a discipline separate from that of magnetic 
phenomena, introduced the vocabulary of electrics, 
and is the basis for Gilbert's place in the history of 
electricity. "-D.S. В .

G imma studied jurisprudence at the University of 
Naples. He published a large number of works that he 
authored or editid on a wide selection of learned subjects. 

Canonical Abbot and, great sacred history student 
and literature, to single vent' years had already completed 
the course of philosophy and jurisprudence to the university 
of Naples. The Academy of the Spensierati (Incuriosi) 
of Rossano founded then in the 1695, but it refused the 
academic career offertagli near the university of Padova 
and Torino in order to dedicate itself to erudite and eclectic 
studies. A its great completed enciclopédico job between 
1690 and 1693 is remained unknown. In 1700 taken 
the orders sacred and was name canonical of the Barium

VERY SCARCE. First and only edition of this 
magnificent work, which is a summation of all that 
was worth knowing at the time of minerals and 
gemstones. Adams considered it a guide book to the 
maze of ancient literature of the geological sciences. 
It is divided into six books. The first describes 
gemstones and their precious nature together with 
extensive references. Other discussions include color, 
phosphoresence, luminescence, virutes, pricing and fake 
gemstones. The second book considers the precious 
stones like diamond, emerald, sapphire, ruby and 
others. The third describes stones of lesser value and 
the fourth discusses stones derived from organic sources 
such as calculi, boazoar and other like stones. The fifth 
book describes marbles, mosaics, piètre dure inlays and 
many other similar examples. The sixth book is largely 
on earths of various kinds.

the previous mineral classifications of Hausmann, Haiiy, 
Beudant, Bronigart, and Berzelius. The descriptive 
mineralogy then commences and this is carried though 
most of volume two. A section describing the metals 
in relation to mineralogy and a table of the crystalline 
forms of artifical chemicals close out the work.

SCARCE. Co-authored with HENRY LECOQ. After a 
long introduction, the text of volume one begins with 
a description of the physical characters of minerals. 
Then chemical characters are considered, with a detailed 
examination of how chemistry may be successfully applied 
to mineralogy. Based upon the theories of Berzelius 
[q.v.], a general scheme for classifying minerals with a 
discussion of its underlying principles is then presented. 
Included is an overview of mineralogical nomenclature. The 
descriptive mineralogy then commences and completes the 
first volume. Volume two continues and concludes the 
descriptive mineralogy. Two long sections about géognosie 
and metallurgy complete the text. A subject index to both 
volumes finishes the book.

VERY RARE. This is an early directory of natu- 
ralists then living in Europe and America, listing their 
current addresses to facilitate correspondence. Included 
in the volume is information about geologists, mineral- 
ogists, botanists, zoologists, entomologists, anatomists, 
physicians, astronomers, physicists, chemists and phar- 
macists. The information was compiled through the co- 
operation and efforts of sixty-three naturalists. This 
is the second known directory listing the informa- 
tion about then living mineralogists. The first was 
Schenkenberg's Die lebenden Mineralogen (Stuttgart, 
1842) [which see], and followed by the long lasting se- 
ries of The Naturalists' Directory [which see].

RARE. A topographical mineralogy describing 
through a long series of tables the minerals, ores, and 
rocks found in the region of Tuscany in Italy. Giulj 
wrote a number of works on the mineral waters of Italy, 
which included chemical analyses of the waters. This 
appears to be his only mineralogical work, however.

Glauber 

GLAUBER, Johann Rudolf. (Born: Karlstadt, 
Germany, 1604; DIED: Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 
10 March 1670) German chemist. 

Glauber was self-taught with minimal formal 
training. He built a chemical laboratory in his house, 
designing special furnaces and other apparatus for it. He 
was the author of numerous works in chemistry. He is 
remembered for his discovery of "sal mirabile" (sodium 
sulfate or Glauber's salt) in the water of a mineral spring. 
He introduced it as a cure-all remedy. Glauber also 
prepared other substances and chemical compounds and 
sold them for medical purposes. He recognized that all 
mercury compounds are poisonous.

Glauber (1603-1668) apparently self-taught, read 
books on alchemy, experimented, and conversed with others 
to educate himself. "After many years of travel, study, 
and experiment, during which he acquired an extensive 
knowledge of chemistry, pharmacy, geology, mineralogy, 
and technology, Glauber in 1646 went to Holland; he settled 
in 1648 in Amsterdam, where he had a large laboratory, 
called a 'Hermetic Institute'..." Partington, 341. The "Furni 
Novi" is Glauber's most famous work and his first, "This 
is certainly one of the most remarkable books on chemistry 
of the seventeenth century," Ferguson. It "...contains most 
of his important chemical discoveries," Partington. The 
work on potable gold was Glauber's first published treatise 
and in it he stated that it, "...is next to the philosopher's 
stone the most outstanding of all medicines, and that 
there is no difference between them." Thorndike VII,201.

VERY SCARCE. Translation of original German 
work: Operis mineralis. One of Glauber's most 
important works, the Operis Mineralis discusses all 
manner of phenomena associated with minerals and the 
earth. On the origin of ore deposits, Glauber is of 



the opinion that if this is not the actual lake of fire 
prepared for sinners the latter must at least be situated 
somewhere in the immediate vicinity. He also discusses 
of the arrangement of the metallic veins in the earth 
resembling a tree with its branches growing up from the 
center of the earth. He believed that base metals were 
continuously transforming to the nobler metals, going 
continuously forward in time, which in the course of 
time will result in the final passage to gold. Therefore, 
when miners found some other mineral substance other 
than gold, for example bismuth or tin, they have opened 
up an immature mineral vein. Glauber goes on to 
observe that if an ore body which has not been worked 
for some years is again opened that the exposure of 
the mineral veins to air causes one to frequently find an 
abundance of silver. It was the believe of the alchemists 
that the transformation from baser to nobler metals 
was indeed occurring in the earth's crust when the 
conditions were favorable. It was the alchemist's goal 
to recreate those conditions in the laboratory, but to 
cause the reaction to change more rapidly.

VERY SCARCE. Glauber was born at Karlstadt, 
Germany, and was largely self- educated, visiting 
laboratories in Paris, Basel, Salzburg, and Vienna where 
he studied chemistry and alchemy. He was, for a. short 
time after 1635, court apothecary in Giessen. He then 
settled in Amsterdam where he remained for most of the 
rest of his life. There he invented furnaces for distilling, 
and established an elaborate laboratory containing many 
devices of his own creation. He called himself a chemical 
philosopher and was a prolific writer. In his later years 
he leaned more to the extreme edges of alchemy and 
left off much of his laboratory work. In his mineralogy 
Glauber was most expert with salts, believing that the 
sun's power was carried to the earth in an aerial salt. In 
OPERIS MINERALIS he theorized about the sun's rays 
being concentrated in the earth to produce metals. His 
FURNI NOVI PHILOSOPHICI, first published 1646-49, 
the second work included here, is among his most famous 
writings. It is a work on the design and use of furnaces 
for distilling, extending greatly the numbers and types of

materials that could be distilled. Ferguson calls it "one of 
the most remarkable books on chemistry of the seventeenth 
century." Glauber tended to bring more specific chemistry 
into alchemy than his predecessors had done, yet in much 
of his thinking he was still an alchemist of the traditional 
type. Foxed throughout, some pages browned, otherwise a

complete introduction to mineralogy, geology and 
paleontology. The introduction gives reasons for 
the study of mineralogy as well as a short, but 
valuable history of the subject. This is followed 
by a good bibliography of the best literature of 
mineralogy, crystallography, geology and palaeontology 
available at the time. Glocker then provides an 
interesting discussion of the value of mineralogy. 
General mineralogical topics are then covered, including 
crystallography, physical and chemical properties (pp. 
34-233). A second part is a long, detailed descriptive 
mineralogy (pp. 235-698). General geological principles 
are discussed beginning at page 699, including a specific 
discussion of petrified remains.

RARE. In his work entitled Generum et Specierum 
Mineralium Synopsis Glocker provides a synopsis of his 
systematic classification of minerals and gives many 
new chemical analysis of the species. The book is also 
one of the most extensive attempts at a systematic 
nomenclature that has been made in mineralogy. He 
uses in general a Latinized form of the common name 
for the name of each species, with some descriptive 
word added. For varieties he adds a third word, as 
is common in other branches of natural history For 
instance, under Granatus, garnet, Glocker gives three 
species: 1st, Granatus nobilis, precious garnet; 2d, 
Granatus. hyacinthinus, cinnamon garnet; and 3d, 
Granatus vulgaris, common garnet, and under the latter 
he uses for varieties the terminations fuscus, niger, 
viridis, flavus, and albidus. The work is in Latin, thus 
going back to the style of the scientific books of the 
previous centuries, which no doubt contributed to his 
contemporaries, for the most part, to ignore Glocker's 
ideas.

published in 1785. It has the pagination, 8°: lxiv, 521, 
[6] p., 30 plates. 

Volume one contains introductory material 
including a general description of the science, an 
extensive and important bibliography of mineralogical 
science and the first portion of the descriptive 
mineralogy. The remaining volumes contain the bulk 
of the descriptive mineralogy. At the end of volume 
four is a comprehensive index.

SCARCE. In this introduction to the mineralogical 
science, Gmelin concentrates on the systematic compo- 
nent. The text begins with a brief review of definitions, 
and then proceeds to a systematic representation of the 
known minerals. This classification is based largely on 
external characteristics with some chemical information 
included.

VERY SCARCE. In 1733 he was recruited as part 
of the scientific corps to accompany a trans-Siberian 
expedition. He proceeded as far as Yakutsk observing 
the natural history of Sibera. Several maps are included 
in his report including this description of the Arctic 
coast. Gmelin compiled in his four-volume Reise 
durch Sibirien, written after his return to Tubingen in 
1747. This was was the most comprehensive botanical, 
zoological, geological, topographical, and ethnographic 
survey of Siberia published up to that time. Gmelin 
ignored the Academy of Sciences' prohibition against 
publishing anything about the expedition without 
special permission, apparently feeling that he could 
write whatever he pleased since he was back on German 
soil. His critical comments about the Chancellery's 
role in the Kamchatka expedition and his graphic 
descriptions of some of the seamy sides of Siberian 



life were shocking and embarrassing to the Russian 
government. Describes an extensive trip through 
Siberia, including observations on natural history and 
mining. 

"One of the earliest accounts of Bering's voyage 
to the Northwest mainland" - Howes. Gmelin was the 
botanist attached to Vitus Bering's second expedition. 
He went to eastern Siberia in 1733 as part of the 
imperial Russian scientific expedition which included 
Gerhard M?ller and astronomer Louis DeLisle. Their 
original intention was to sail with Bering on his voyage 
of northeast discovery, but in the event they did not 
accompany him, working instead in eastern Siberia and 
along the Lena River. The publications of the scientists 
attached to the expedition, including Gmelin's travel 
narrative, constitute much of the earliest material on 
the discovery and exploration of the Bering Strait and 
Alaska (see Lada-Mocarski 4-7, 9). Their collective 
enterprises were the first scientific investigation of the 
Russian Far East. Gmelin's work is one of the key 
scientific contributions to the Russian explorations of 
the 1730s. "Although this work does not contain any 
material by Gmelin on Alaska proper, it is replete with 
information on the preparations for Bering's final sea 
voyage. Altogether, it is indispensable original source 
material for the study of Bering's second expedition" 
- Lada-Mocarski. Gmelin also compiled the first 
comprehensive flora of Siberia, Kamchatka, and the 
northeastern corner of Asia. After almost a decade in 
Siberia and the Far East, Gmelin returned to publish 
his findings, including 1178 species of plants.

GMELIN, Samuel Gottlieb. (Born: Tübingen, 
Germany, 23 June 1743; DIED: Darbent, Russia, 27 July 
1774) German naturalist. 

German naturalist and traveller in Russia, nephew of 
J.G. Gmelin 

Samuel Gottlieb (1743-1774), the son of Johann 
Conrad, was appointed professor of natural history at St 
Petersburg in 1766, and in the following year started on 
a journey through south Russia and the regions round the 
Caspian Sea. On his way back he was captured by Usrney 
Khan, of the Kaitak tribe, and died from the ill-treatment 
he suffered, on the 27th of July 1774. 

Gmelin was born at Tuebingen in a well known family 
of naturalists. His father was Johann Conrad Gmelin, an 
apothecary and surgeon. His uncle was Johann Georg 
Gmelin. Samuel earned his medical degree in 1763 from 
the University of Leiden at the young age of 18 (Silva et 
al., 1996). While living in Holland, Gmelin developed a 
keen interest in marine algae. In 1766 he was appointed 
professor of botany at St Petersburg. In the following year 
he was sent on an expedition to study the natural history of 
the Russian Empire. He explored the rivers Don and Volga, 
and the western and eastern coasts of the Caspian Sea. 
Whilst travelling in the Caucasus he was taken hostage by 
Usmey Khan of Kha kes and died because of ill treatment 
in captivity in Derbent. He was only 29 years of age. 

Gmelin was the author of Historia Fucorum (1768), 
the first work dedicated to marine biology, dealing 
exclusively with algae and the first using the binomial 
system of nomenclature. It includes elaborate illustrations 
of seaweed and marine algae on folded leaves. However, 
algal specimens used by Gmelin in the Historia fucorum 
are thought to no longer exist (Dixon Äc Irvine, 1970). 
The results of his travels were published in Reise durch 
Russland zur tersuchung der drey natur-reiche (Trip 
through Russia to study the three natural provinces) (1770- 
1784,4 vols.). The final volume was edited by Peter Simon 
Pallas.

SCARCE. This well researched paper describing 
various inclusions found in the mineral diamond won 
a gold medal from the Dutch Society of Science in 
Haarlem. Goeppert describes and analysis's various 
diamond inclusions, which to him resemble organic 
remains, and also gives an account of occurrences of 
diamond, which at the time were mostly alluvial. In 
this time prior to the discoveries of the great diamond 
fields of South Africa, the author puts forth a very 
convincing case that the carbon inclusions in diamond 
are organic in nature and that diamonds were created 
through some type of sedimentary process. However, 
shortly after this volume appeared the kimberlite pipe 
of the Dark Continent were found and the true igneous 
origin of diamond established once and for all time.

VERY SCARCE. A remarkable crystallographic 
work that attempted to index every mineral crystal 
form. In volume one, the first 156 pages are devoted to 
a treatise on crystallography that was also separately 
published as Einleitung in die formbeschreibende 
Krystallographie (Berlin, 1887) [which see next entry]. 
This introductory section covers symbols, projections, 
transformations, calculation of elements, tables, and 
abbreviations. Next follows the systematic data 
for minerals arranged alphabetically from abichite to 
euxenite. For each mineral listed the crystal system, 
axial ratios, cell elements, etc. are given. The next two 
volumes continue these listings for the other minerals. 
At the conclusion of volume three is a supplement 
listing synonyms and corrections. The work was issued 
in a series of sections. Volume one appeared in two 
Lieferungen 1. Einleitung 8¿ 2. Abichit to Euxenit. 
Volume two was published in seven Hefts covering the 
minerals Fahlerz to Pyroxen. The concluding volume 
also appeared in 7 Hefts, with the first 6 dealing with 
the minerals Quarz to Zunyit. The last Heft was a 
supplement.

VERY RARE. This rare set is an exceptional and 
unique work in crystallography. It was a by-product 
of Goldschmidt's extraordinary compilation Index der 
Krystallformen der Mineralien (3 vols., Berlin, 1886— 
91), which listed the known crystal forms for many 
minerals. The Krystallographische Projectionsbilder 
uses the forms of some of the minerals listed in the 
earlier work and plots them in goniometric projection. 
Because the minerals Goldschmidt choose to publish 
in this fashion had tremendous variety in their crystal 
forms, the only practical method of conveying the rich 
variety of forms on one projection was to use a very 
large format in the publication of the atlas, and it is. 
Measuring 78 x 68 cm, or over 2.5 x 2 feet, the plates 
of this work display the culmination of goniometeric 
projection. In the time preceedingx— ray diffraction, the 
only method available to describe the exact symmetry 
of crystallographic data was to measure crystal faces 
on a goniometer. The measurements obtained were 
then conveyed to other researchers in a number of ways 
the most computational of which was the goniometric 
projection. This procedure involved projecting an 
imaginary axis orthogonal from a measured crystal face 
to the surface of a hemisphere lying outside the crystal. 
Where the axis projection intersected the sphere an 
imaginary point was created on the surface of the 
sphere. These points were then plotted on to a special 
graph known as a Wulff net. By this means a simplified 
visual picture of the crystal symmetry and form is 
produced. In addition, if other crystal forms of the

same mineral are projected on to the same circle, a very 
visual, simplified picture of all the species crystal forms 
is created. This allowed any research who thought they 
had discovered a new crystal form to check its projection 
against Goldschmidt's work and quickly determine if in 
fact a new form had been discovered.

grapher to determine without calculation whether the 
forms observed on a crystal were already known or were 
new. Short approximations to these tables had ap- 
peared within monographs for single mineral species, 
but no one before this work had attempted the min- 
eral kingdom as a whole. It had been impractical be- 
cause the prevailing method was to list the interfa-

cial measurements between crystal faces which for any 
given form required an enormous number of angles to 
be given. However, the invention of the two— circle go- 
niometer first proposed by Evgraf S. Fyodorov [q.v.] 
and constructed by the mechanic Peter Stoë [7—1931] 
for Goldschmidt allowed each face of a crystal to be 
measured independently of all others. The crystal's po- 
sition was determined with reference to a fixed pole and 
meridian by two angular coordinates making it possible 
to create a complete table of angles. For such a table 
now need only contain for each form two angular values, 
T and / (corresponding to geographical longitude and 
latitude for a point on the earth's surface). Kristallo- 
graphische Winkeltabellen contain these values for each 
well established crystal form of each mineral calculated 
from the axial elements of the substance and the symbol 
of the form. There are also given for each form several 
angles that facilitate the comparision of these angular 
coordinates with the results of the ordinary interfacial 
measurement. Lastly a set of linear coordinates enable 
the rapid plotting of the form in a gnomonic projection. 
The introduction to the work gives the necessary expla- 
nations of the values contained in the work, and the 
schemes employed in each system for the calculation of 
the values are shown. Some idea of the enormous labor 
employed by Goldschmidt in this work is given by the 
statement that it contain upwards of 70,000 values. Of 
this number about half are values recurring more or less 
often, such as angles of 45° and 60°, but of the remain- 
ing each required a separate calculation. An appendix

VERY SCARCE. In this strange theoretical 

crystallography, Goldschmidt attempts to relate 
musical harmony with the symmetry of crystals and 
the preception of color. As a counterpoint he then 
discusses complications found in nature, art and 
counting systems. Goldschmidt wrote in the preface 
that the essentials of this book had been written down

influence. Goldschmidt was so inspired, he decided 
to make the study of crystallography his life's work. 
The relationship between these two is also clearly

Rare. The encyclopedia of crystal morphology, 
whose purpose was to collect, index and reproduce in 
one work all the crystal forms observed for every mineral 
species. In 1913, a Prospectus for this work consisting 
of 8 pages of text and 8 plates was given a lengthy 
notice in the American Journal of Science [See: 4th 
Series, 35, 553]. After reminding the readers that a 
previous attempt by ALBRECHT SCHRAUF to publish 
such an atlas had collasped after only a single volume 



had appeared, the review goes on: "... the work will 
embrace from 25,000 to 28,000 figures; these will be 
included in five or six volumes of about 250 plates 
each, with a like number of volumes of text." One 
wonders if the readers of this notice actually expected 
to see Goldschmidt's Atlas to be completed. Most 
probably did not realize this was the keystone to the 
author's crystallographic work. With the Index der 
Krystallformen der Mineralien (3 vols., Berlin, 1886—91) 
and Kristallographische Winkeltabellen (Berlin, 1897), 
it forms the last segment of a trilology Goldschmidt had 
intended to publish from the start of his carrer, and 
which incidently defined modern crystal morphological 
studies. In the preface to the text, Goldschmidt 
explains the broad standpoint that has led him to 
develop this work. His desire was to bring together the 
material necessary for solving many of the problems of 
crystals and their growth, particularly with respect to 
habit, the frequency of occurrence of certain forms and 
the relative size of the faces. The tremendous depth 
of the work is astonishing, with most mineral species 
represented by several hundred to a few thousand 
crystal drawings. The reproduction of these figures 
is excellent as well. Goldschmidt did not attempt 
to redraw each of these figures as Schrauf had done. 
Instead original figures were reproduced by the printer 
using photographic techniques onto the zinc plates used 
for printing. This enabled Goldschmidt to size, adjust 
and rotate the original drawings as needed. The text is 
arranged alphabetically by mineral name, and consists 
of two parts. The first and most important of these are 
the plates, for they create the esthetic value of the work. 
Reproductions of many thousands of crystal drawings 
illustrate graphically all the variations in form observed 
for every mineral. Supporting these figures is the text, 
which lists the various characteristics of the minerals, 
and gives a detailed accounting of the locality and exact 
reference sources for each figure pictured.

VERY SCARCE. Edited by Hans Himmel [1897-7]. 
This handsome work was published to commerate the 
anniversary of Goldschmidt's birth. It begins with a 
somewhat overglowing review of Goldschmidt's life and 
contributions by L. Milch. Next comes a chronological 
listing compiled by Himmel of Goldschmidt's 177 
publications printed from 1876 to 1925. Following this 
are 32 papers published in the native languages of the 
authors on various mineralogical and crystallographic 
subjects. The tremendous influence Goldschmidt had 
as a teacher is somewhat indicated by the five languages 
reproduced in the papers. Each of the authors 
was either a former student of Goldschmidt's or a 
professional colleage, many making their own important 
contributions to these sciences.

VERY SCARCE. Edited and published postumously 
from a nearly complete manuscript by Hans Himmel 
[1897-?] and Karl Müller [?-?]. Goldschmidt's last work 
is designed as a an authoritative textbook of crystal 
measurement using one and two circle goniometers. 
Coming from one of the great practitioners of the art, 
it is perhaps the finest monograph on the subject. 
The work gives instruction by the same methods 
Goldschmidt had applied in teaching forty years worth 
of post graduate students in his laboratory. It is divided 
into two sections. The first, the introduction, describes 
methods of generating gnomonetric, stereographic and 
orthoscopic projections of crystals. The second covers 
the measurement of crystals on one and two circle 
goniometers. By using examples of increasingly 

complex crystal forms, the theories discussed in the 
text are reinforced by application. It concludes with 
examples of measuring twinned crystals. Within the 
discussion are references to crystal models, crystal 
making apparatus, and goniometers. The numerous

GOLITSYN (Gallitzin), Dmitrii Aleksyevich. (Born:| 

Russia, 21 December 1738; DIED: Braunschweig, Ger- 
many, 21 March 1803) Russian diplomat & mineralo- 
gist. 

Golitsyn (French: Gallitzin) was appointed Russian 
ambassador at Paris in 1763 and later in 1773 at the Hague. 
He retired to Braunschweig. Golitsyn was a member of 
many different learned societies and author of a number of 
scientific publications, especially in the field of mineralogy. 
He bequeathed his mineral collection (30,000 specimens) 
and library to the JENA MlNERALOGICAL SOCIETY, which was 
subsequently disbanded. The collection has since been 
dispersed into the general collection of the University of 
Лепи.

"Arrangement Méthodique | Des Minéraux." 

VERY SCARCE. In this methodical arrangement of 
mineralogy, the minerals are arranged into a natural 
history structure based on Orders, Classes, Families 
and Species. In the introduction, the author notes 
the great prevalence of quartz around the globe. It is 
found in every environment from mountain tops to the 
sands of the oceans. He then concludes that it would 
be appropriate to create a systematic classification of 
minerals based on the relative proportions of various 
materials found within the earth. Thus, the most 
common material, quartz, will head the system, with 
other substances found in lesser amounts listed below. 
Here Golitsyn utilizes the eight Orders of (1) Quartz, 
(2) Native metals, (3) Calcium minerals, including 
gypsum, calcite, marble, stalactites, etc., (4) Products 
of vegetables and animals, (5) Acids, (6) Mixtures, 
including zeolites, lapis-lazuli, fluorite, concretions, 
etc., (7) Combinations of metals and semi- metals, 
including pyrite, argentite, cuprite, oxides of lead, 
copper, bismuth, nickel, manganese, and (8) Products 
of volcanoes. Synonyms to mineral names are provided, 
and footnotes cite authorities for text comments.

Rare. A large, comprehensive mineralogical 
dictionary, that is encyclopedic in nature. Its rarity 
may be a result of a stopped production, with the 
appearance of HaÜY's Traité de Minéralogie and its 
reform of nomenclature being the cause. It is clear from 
the entries that Golitsyn was a proficient mineralogist 
with a keen instinct for including the best information. 
The species and varities are named in French, with 
synonms in German and other common names, then 
under each entry details on identification and physical 
properties, citing other authorities.

VERY SCARCE. An alphabetical classification of 

minerals, metals, earths, stones with their different 
descriptions, accompanied by extensive descriptions and 
references to the literature on the subject. The appearance 
of HaÜY's Traité de Minéralogie (1st ed., Paris, 1801), in 
which he revised the nomenclature of mineralogy, caused 
Golitsyn to publish this corrected and enlarged second 
edition. The introduction discusses the principles of RENÉ 
JUST HaÜY's mineralogical nomenclature. The text then 
presents an alphabetical list of mineralogical terms that 
provides alternate names from other authors and a short 
descriptive commentary of the subject. Histories of some 
mineral species are also provided. At the conclusion of 
the alphabetical list is a table of lithology that compares 
the relative composition of earths, silica, alumina, calce,

RARE. Basically this is a treatise on gems and 
other precious stones, compiled from many ancient 
and contemporary sources, with little or no originality 
on Gonnelli's part. The first portion of the text is 
divided into three parts describing: (1) the nature of 
the lapidifying juice, (2) how gemstones derive their 
color, and (3) the rôle of water in mineral formation. 
Afterwards is an alphabetical glossary containing 
descriptions of many gemstones. A somewhat lengthy 
bibliography of cited authorities occurs on pages 225 to 
234. Appended at the end are the regulations of the 
library of the convent of the Blessed Mary de Monte 
Carmelo at Venafro.

8°: 215 p. 

RARE. The work describes a portable laboratory 
designed by Göttling. It was intended for use not 
only by analytical chemists, natural philosophers, 
mineralogists, and metallurgists, but also by doctors, 
technologists, and manufactures. The equipment 
consisted of thirty-five chemicals, together with small 
scales and weights, a blow-pipe, and some glass 
apparatus, housed in two boxes approximately 12 x 9 x 
9 inches. 

Göttling includes in this work descriptions of over 
a hundred and fifty reactions that can be preformed 
with the materials provided. These were all reactions 
in solution; the author planned to write a second 
book describing reactions in the dry way, but this was 
apparently not achieved.

The collection consisted principally of natural history 
objects, but also held a considerable number of artificial 
objects, antiquities and works of art. The collection en 
bloc was purchased by Peter the Great and transported 
to St. Petersburg for incorporation into the Royal 
Museum.

1713], arranged for the publication in two parts of a 
limited edition of the plates prepared years before by his 
father to illustrate a never published catalogue raisonne. 
At the end of the 18th century, the portion of the plates 
concerning shells were again reissued with a text by 
Johann Schröter under the title, Mvsei Gottwaldiani

as a mining engineer. He specialized in the minerals, mines 
and geology of parts of the French Alps, authoring several 
works. At one time he proposed a system of defense against 
the destruction caused by the deforestation of the Alps, and 
took measurements to support his view. He concluded his 
career as the chief of mines in Grenoble.

GRATACAP, Louis Pope. (BORN: Brooklyn, New 
York, U.S.A., 1 November 1851; DIED: 1917) American 
mineralogist & naturalist. 

Gratacap was graduated at the College of the City of 
New York in 1869 and at the Columbia school of mines 
in 1876. Subsequently he received the appointment of 
assistant curator in paleontology and mineralogy in the 
American museum of natural history in New York, where 
the arrangement of the specimens in the present building 
was largely conducted under his supervision. Mr. Gratacap 
has also held the office of chemist to the Metropolitan 
gaslight company in New York for many years. He has 
been a large contributor to scientific journals, and, besides 
botanical notes in the" Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical 
Club," has published a series of papers on "The Ice Age" 




Gratacap 

in the Popular Science Monthly for 1878, a series on 
" Gas and Gas-Making " in the " Scientific American 
Supplement" (1880), and a valuable series on archaeology 
in the "American Antiquarian" (1883-'4). Mr. Gratacap is 
also the author of " Philosophy of Ritualism, or Apologia 
pro Ritu" (New York, 1887).

SCARCE. An enlarged and revised edition of Vade 
Месит of Minerals (New York, 1903). The text is 
intended chiefly for the use of visitors to public cabinets 
and collections of minerals, but is so arranged that 
it forms an adequate text for elementary teaching 
in mineralogy as well. The book contains a section 
on crystallography, followed by a discussion of the 
physical and chemical properties of minerals. The 
section devoted to the description of mineral species 
— in harmony with the purpose of the book — has 
been entitled "Guide to the Collections." An extensive 



history of the development of mineralogy follows and 
the book closes with a description of the fine Bernent 
mineral collection which belongs to the American 
Museum of Natural History in New York City and of 
which the author of the book is curator. There are text 
illustrations, 74 photograph plates and a map showing 
the distribution of minerals in the United States.

Rare. Descriptive catalog of Grauel's mineral 
collection published some years after his death. 
The text describes the earths, stones, including 
precious and semi-precious types, a few native metals, 
and petrifications contained in the cabinet. The 
classification followed in the text is derived from that 
first proposed by Wallerius, as are the basic descriptions 
of the specimens. Schröter considers these descriptions 
to be very exact and this work to be a valuable 
reference.

GRAVENHORST, Johann Ludwig Carl. (Born: 
Braunschweig, Germany, 14 November 1777; DIED: 
Breslau, Germany, 14 January 1857) German entomol- 
ogist & zoologist. 

Early on Gravehorst developed an interest in insects. 
He attended the University of Helmstadt and the death of 
his father in 1799 left him a fortune that allowed hirn to 
persue his interests. In 1810 he settled in Frankfurt an der 
Oder where he taught at the town's university. Later, he 
transferred to the University of Breslau. In 1825 he began 
to develop a mental disorder that progressed throughout 
his life.

Son of Robert Hyde Greg, who had purchased the 
mineral collection formed by THOMAS ALLAN and his son 
ROBERT in 1833. The father himself did nothing to add 
to the collection, but Robert for the period 1850 to 
1859 actively enriched the cabinet through purchases and 
exchanges. This collection then formed the cornerstone of 
research for his important Manual of Mineralogy (London, 
1858). In 1860, the Allan-Greg collection as it was known 
was sold en bloc to the British Museum.

took his degrees in chemistry and mineralogy at Oxford 
University. He was a demonstrator and junior lecturer 
at Oxford before joining the British Museum (Natural 
History) of which he eventually became a Principal 
Scientific Officer in the Department of Mineralogy. He 
also was curator of the national mineral collection from 
1956 until his retirement in 1989. He co-authored several 
mineralogical works, including Minerals of Cornwall and

Prior to 1858 and before going to Mexico, Lettsom sold 
his mineral collection to William Nevill. Eventually, 
this collection was incorporated into HENRY LUDLAM's 
accumulation, which was ultimately acquired by the 
Institute of Geological Sciences, London.

Grew 



GREW, Nehemiah. (BORN: Mancetter, Warwichshire, 
England, 1641; DIED: London?, England, 25 March 
1712) English physician. 

Grew was the son of a clergyman and schoolmaster. 
After an early education at Coventry, he received his B.A. 
from Cambridge in 1661. He then received his M.D. from 
the University of Leiden, and returned to England, opening 
a medical practice first in Coventry then in 1672 in London. 
Because of Grew's interest in plant anatomy, he was elected 
a fellow of the Royal Society, where he came in contact with 
many notable scientists, including Robert Hooke. Through 
Hooke, Grew was introduced to techniques of microscopic 
examination, which he used in throughout his scientific 
researches. Today, Grew is principally remembered for his 
outstanding contributions to plant anatomy, which were 
collected together and published in his The Anatomy of 
Plants (London, 1682).

SCARCE. Early collection catalog of the Royal 
Society of London's natural history specimens. This 
book contains relevant early botanical and natural 
history observations, and many of the plates depict 
minerals, crystals, shells, fishes, birds, insects and 
animal fossils. Many of the specimens, particularly 
the plants, were American in origin, especially from 
the West Indies. In fact, the first 386 pages comprise 
a detailed catalogue of the natural history specimens 
owned by the Royal Society and then housed at 
Gresham College. Grew divides this portion of the 
work into four parts: (1) animals, including human 
rarities, quadrupeds, serpents, birds, fishes, shells and 
insects, (2) plants, including trees, shrubs, herbs, 
mosses, mushrooms, and plants of the sea, (3) minerals, 
with descriptions of stones, including bezoar, corals, 
fossils, gems, metals, salt, amber and other sulfur s, 
and (4) artificial matters, including things related to 
chemistry and natural philosophy, mechanics, coins, 
and medicines. Appended at the end is another treatise 
on the comparative anatomy of stomachs and guts 
which is an early classic in the field. Some of the plates 
show specimens relevant to this section. 

A frontispiece engraving of Daniel Colwall (who, 
as mentioned, financially supported the establishment 
of the museum) and 31 engraved plates (also paid for by 
Colwall) comprise the illustrations. Of these, 18 show 
plant and animal specimens; included are various skulls 
and skeletons, tortoise shells, a rattlesnake's rattle, 
preserved fish, birds' nests, shells, starEsh, insects, 
nuts, sponges, and a specimen identified as "skin on 
ye Buttock of a Rhinoceros." Plates 19 and 20 show 
fossils (and two small chiastolite sections); plates 21 and 
22 show mineral specimens (including calcite, quartz, 
gypsum, silver, copper, hematite, and what appears to 
be cerussite or pyromorphite); and plates 23 through 31 
show stomachs and intestines. 

The text is divided into four major parts: (I) 
Animals, (II) Plants, (III) Minerals, and (IV) Artificial 



Matters. All sorts of highly curious objects are 
represented: An Egyptian mummy given by Prince 
Henry, Duke of Norfolk; a human fetus; the "Throttle 
Bone of a male Aqui-qui" monkey; tiger claws; a stuffed 
"Pigheaded Armadillo", the "Horns of a Hare" ("So I 
find them inscribed," says the author, "Although it is 
probable that they are the homes of a small kind of 
German Deer"); a 7 /2 foot crocodile (stuffed); the leg 
of a dodo; more than 30 lodestones; a porpoise skeleton; 
butterflies; coins; and a wide array of scientific and 
mechanical instruments and devices. There is an index 
of medicines, and a list of donors. 

The catalog gives a good view of the extent of 
mineralogical knowledge in England three centuries ago. 
Grew made a crude effort at categorizing the fossil and 
mineral specimens, firstly into three broad divisions: 
(1) Stones (fossils, gems, "stones regular," and "stones 
irregular"), (2) Metals (gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, 
iron, antimony, mercury, etc.), and (3) "Mineral 
Principles" (salts, "sulphurs" and "earths"). In the 
first division, he attempted to distinguish gems by their 
colors, "stones regular" by the external shapes, and 
" stones irregular" by their hardness. These distinctions 
served hirn poorly and resulted in an irrational jumble, 
but inasmuch as the proper tools did not yet exist for 
structuring a rational crystallochemical classification, 
he can hardly be criticized for his approach. 

He then gives a brief description of each specimen. 
Although he had available very little established 
descriptive terminology, he plunged ahead, coining his 
own terms where necessary and drawing frequently 
on the pre-existing reference works. Grew's citations 
show that he was well- versed in the early mineralogical 
literature, such as it was. He refers regularly to 
Agrícola, and also Johannes Kentmann (1565). Pliny, 
Tavernier, Gesner, de Boodt, de Laet, Robert Boyle and 
Kircher are all cited.

GRIFFIN, John Joseph. (BORN: London, England, 
22 January 1802; DIED: London, England, 9 June 1877) 
English chemist, author & publisher. 

Griffin recieved an early education in chemistry in 
Paris and Heidelberg. His family determined that he would 
enter business, and therefore, Griffin was apprenticed 
as a bookseller to the firm of Tegg &z, Co. After his 
1832 marriage, he opened with his eldest brother an 
establishment in Glasgow. From these premises, Griffin 
became a successful bookseller, publisher and a dealer in 
chemical apparatus. In 1852, the partnership was disjoined. 
The publishing branch was continued by Griffin's nephew 
as Charles Griffin ic Co. and the firm of chemical apparatus 
dealers was moved to London and became J.J. Griffin Sc 
Sons. Griffin's interest in chemistry caused him to translate 
Heinrich Rose's Handbuch der analytischen Chemie (??,??). 
He also assisted in the foundation of the Chemical Society 
in 1840. Throughout his life, Griffin always attempted to 
popularize chemistry.

RARE. This work is the first independent work 
on the application of the blowpipe in English, and 
the first published work by its author. Its purpose 
was to first be a manual of instruction on the 
manipulation of the blowpipe and second to be an 
introduction to the determination of mineral species. 
The introduction gives a philosophical overview of 
mineralogical classification that is applied in the third 
part of the work. The text divided into four parts 
then begins. Covering pages 1 to 91, the first section 
is a practical treatise on the blowpipe. It begins 
with an history of the blowpipe. Following this are 
descriptions of the various types of insturments, the 
flames employed for reactions, exterraneous apparatus 
used with the blowpipe, and the operations performed

with the blowpipe, and various veiws of the reactions 
of minerals before the flame. Part two describes in 
summary on pages 92 to 142, the reactions of various 
elements that commonly make up minerals and their 
behavior before the blowpipe. Part three (pages 143 to 
268) gives a systematic arrangement of simple minerals. 
The fourth section covering miscellanea describes the 
use of other types of blowpipes in actually determining 
the composition of a mineral. Included are Lavoisier's, 
Hare's, Clarke's, Gurney's, Toft's and Phillips' "Spirit 
Lamp." Two comprehensive indexes close the book.

SCARCE. A comprehensive treatise on crystallog- 
raphy, claiming to be the first to easily classify min- 
erals. After discussing the difficulties of other texts, 
Griffin introduces his own system. The first part is 
theoretical. It describes the principals of crystallogra- 
phy including axes of crystals, prisims and pyramids 
and their combinations, classification of crystals, a new 
system of crystallographic notation, cleavage, primitive 
forms, simple forms and combinations, a theory of crys- 
tallization, application of trigonometry to crystallogra- 
phy, and logarithmic tables. The second part treats the 
applications of crystallography to mineralogy. A tabu- 
lar arrangement of minerals according to Gustav Rose's 
[q.v.] method of six systems of axes of crystallization 
is presented. This is followed by a catalog of crystal- 
lized minerals, showing the crystallographic combina- 
tions that occur in nature, and a systematic arrange- 
ment of crystals, with a list of the minerals common 
to each crystal form. A descriptive catalog of crystal 
models sold by the publishers is included at the end. 
An index to the minerals described ends the work.

Grill studied natural history subjects at the 
University of Söderfors. He possessed a large cabinet 
of natural history objects including about a hundred 
mammals, sixty birds, thirty fishes and lots of corals 
and petrifications. After having been offered for sale 
abroad, these collections were donted in 1828 to the 
Vetenskapsakademien in Stockholm. Grill was a member 
of the Swedish Musical and Scientific societies.

SteinafrjEÕi, 1878 

Rare. A mineralogical work written in 

Icelandic (SteindafraeÕi=mineralogy). Various aspects 
of mineralogy including crystallography, and physical 
and chemical properties, together with a short 
descriptive section are treated on pages 1-94. A 
description of the most common rocks, almost all 
volcanic, occurs on pages 95-121. The work is 
illustrated with 32 illustrations, contained mostly on 
the two accompanying plates. This appears to be the 
first mineralogical text book for Icelandic students cast 
in a modern structure.

Father of LAURENTIUS Theodorus. In 1725, Gronovius 
opened a medical practice in Leiden. He was often a 
Councillor, Alderman and Borgomaster of Leiden. A large 
natural history collection of all types was gathered by him, 
the greater part of which was inherited by son, Laurentius.

VERY RARE. This is the preliminary catalog of 
Grovon's growing collection of minerals, stones and 
fossils. In it, he indexes the specimens in his collection 
through a systematic approach. He divides the species 
into three divisions: (I) Petras sive Lapides Simplices 
(pp. 1-3), (II) Mineras sive Lapides Compósitos (pp. 
4-13), and (III) Fossilia sive Lapides Aggregatos (pp. 
14-29), which are the equivalent of simple stones, 
composite minerals and stones, and stone and mineral 
aggregates. There is no introductory text, leading to 
speculation that this rare work was circulated among 
his scientific friends for comment and commentary, in 
preparation of the expanded 1750 edition.

around the world. It is one of the earliest mineralogical 
works to document American localities, with numerous 
references to minerals found in Pennsylvania that had been 
supplied by the naturalist and botanist John Bartrarn 
[1699-1777]. There are also several minerals listed from 
Virginia; however, no indication is given of who supplied 
them. Besides being his friend Gronov was a patron of 
Linnaeus, to whom he dedicated this work. This second 
edition is the one more commonly encountered, although it 
is itself rare.

The Netherlands, 1 June 1730; DIED: Leiden, 
The Netherlands, 8 August 1777) Dutch lawyer & 
naturalist. 

Lorenz was the son of JOHANN FRIEDRICH GRONOV. 
Counciller and alderman of Leiden, he possessed an 
extensive cabinet of corals, fishes, lower animals, insects, 
reptiles, mammals, shells, stones, plants, etc. Elected a 
Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1763, Gronov's 
library was sold on 5 October 1778, followed by his Museum 
on the 7 October.

Anst. v. J.G. Bach, Leipzig]. Tafel III. [Shows 10 figures of

Groth del. Lith. Anst. v. J.G. Bach, Leipzig]. 

VERY SCARCE. Groth was professor of mineralogy 
at the University of Munich, who inspired a generation 
of other crystallographers with his vivid, and well 
organized lectures. He was one of the outstanding 
crystallographers of his age, publishing numerous 
articles and several editions of the work described 
here. This is perhaps his most important and lasting 
contribution explaining in great depth the connections 
between chemical composition of minerals and their 
crystal structure. This textbook and its subsequent 
editions were used by every important crystallographer 
and mineralogist of the time, and Groth's format 
was adopted, knowingly or unknowingly, by many 
subsequent authors. The book described here is based 
upon his lectures on the subject supplemented by an 
excellent, heavily illustrated, section on the theory and 
use of various scientific instruments (goniometers etc.) 
used in mineralogical research. On its publication, the 
work was deservedly praised for its clear explanations, 
and it is frequently cited in publications that came after 
its appearance. 

The text is divided into three major sections. 
I. The physical properties of crystals, including the 
descriptions of the optical, thermal, magnetic and 
electrical properties of crystals. II. The geometrical 
properties of crystals, including detailed discussions of 
the seven crystal systems, and their minerals. III. 
The apparatus and methods of physical crystallography 
investigations, includes information on goniometers, 
instruments for measuring polarization, stauroscopes, 
angle measurments, and crystallographic projections, 
including the drawing of crystals. This section contains 
wonderful steel engraved illustrations of the apparatus.

of crystallography published before the X-ray diffraction 
experiments of Von Laue performed in 1912 showed the in- 
ternal structure of crystals, and is therefore an important 
source providing the best, current theories of atomic ar- 
rangements in crystals before it could actually be seen.

RARE. With the development of optical go- 
niometry, polarized light microscopy, and other phys- 
ical techniques, 19th-century chemists and crystallog- 
raphers focused on macroscopic properties of crystals 
such as birefringence, optical activity, pyroelectricity 
(electric polarization caused by temperature change), 
and, later, piezoelectricity (electric polarization under 
external stress), which was discovered by Pierre and 
Jacques Curie in 1880. These efforts culminated in 
Groth's Chemische Krystallographie, which documents 
in five volumes what was known about the external form 
and physical properties of more than 7,000 organic and 
inorganic crystals that had been characterized by the 
beginning of the 20th century. 

Groth was a pioneer in the development of the 
optical goniometer, and compiled the monumental col- 
lection of crystallographic data Chemische Krystallo- 
graphie, in five volumes between 1906 and 1919. The 
volumes arranged by chemical compound tabulate the 
morphological, optical and other properties of over 
7,000 crystalline substances (both organic and inor- 
ganic), but it contains no information about internal 
crystalline structures and no discussion of exp er mental 
techniques used to arrive at the data. It is a refer- 
ence still used as a resource for organic chemists who 
investigate inclusion compounds. The later volumes, 
published during WWI concentrate on benzene ring 
structure and aromatic structures that was probably 
related to the manufacture of posion gas by the Ger- 
man chemists. There are over 3,300 crystal drawings of 
the described substances.

SCARCE. Updated to include the species new since the 
previous edition of 1889. Also the changes among the old 
species made necessary by recent investigations. Groth also 
includes the new system of crystallographic nomenclature 
developed in the author's Physikalische Mineralogie (Leipzig, 
1895).

und К. Mieleitner. München, Berlin, R. Oldenbourg, 1921. 
4 : [4], 176 p. The final edition of Groth's popular tables 
written with the assistance of Karl Mieleitner [see note 
below]. 

Karl Mieleitner. (BORN: Munich, Bavaria, Germany, 
31 March 1890; DIED: Munich, Bavaria, Germany, 15 March 
1923) German mineralogist & historian of mineralogy. Born 
the son of a shoemaker, Mieleitner became in 1913 assistant 
for the Bavarian state mineral collection at the University 
of Munich, where in 1919 he succeeded F. Grünlung 
as 'Konservator.' He was an enthusiastic and energetic 
worker, producing several papers within a few years. He 
developed an interest in the history of mineralogy and 
published before his early death German translations, with 
authoritative notes, of the old works of Steno, Bartholin 
and Cappeller.

Rare. This essay, which developes an historical 
perspective on the mineralogical sciences as seen from 
the view point of discoveries in crystallography, is 
especially interesting having been written by one of the 
greatest mineralogists. The text is divided into two 
sections: "Krystallkunde" and "Mineralkunde," with 
the period covered going to the end of the nineteenth 
century. The first section contains chapters that cover 
geometrical and chemical crystallography, as well as 
the recognition of a connection between the forms of 
crystals and their optical properties. Information is 
also given concerning the then recent develop ements in 
X-ray crystallography. The mineralogical section has 
chapters devoted to the crystallography of minerals, 
the optical determination of the rock-forming minerals, 
paragensis and the chemistry of minerals, including 
the study of their alteration and artifical reproduction. 
Important regional mineralogies are mentioned, and 
very short accounts of important national mineral 
collections are also given. An appendix gives 37 
biographical sketches of prominent mineralogists and 
crystallographers from the past. The work concludes 
with two short indexes, one of subjects and the other of 
names. The latter is incomplete with many more names 
mentioned in the text than appear in the index.

Rare. A beautifully produced book of which only 
a few special copies were meant to contain the portrait 
of Gualtieri, which is usually missing. This title is 
one of the most curious and beautiful conchological 
works ever printed. The plates depict many of the 
specimens standing on their apices, and the engraving 
and typography throughout the work is exceptional. 
Gualtieri's patron, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, was 
a keen collector of shells and by many accounts had 
a magnificent cabinet including 360 species sent to him 
by RUMPHIUS. Gualtieri apparently was given his choice 
of any duplicates.

GUETTARD, Jean Etienne. (Born: 22 September 
1715; DIED: 8 January 1786) French physician, 
geologist, botanist & naturalist. 

Guettard was curator of the natural history collection 
of the French scientist René de Reaumur (1741) and a 
member of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris (1742). From 
1747 to 1752 he was médecin botaniste to the French prince 
Louis, duc dOrléans, and later was also supported by Louiss 
son Louis-Philippe. He discovered the volcanic nature of 
the Auvergne region in France, mapped the mineralogical 
distributions of much of Europe, and collaborated with the 
French scientist Antoine Lavoisier on the preparation of a 
geological survey of France.

Rare. The present work was first published in 
1779. It is here part of the large series Description 
Générale et Particulière de la. France, with a separately 
printed title. Guettard wrote a number of works on the 
geology and mineralogy of France. He is best known for 
his discovery of the volcanic nature of Auvergne and his 
attempt to consruct a geological map of France. 

This is the rare second edition of the first book 
on fossils and minerals of the province Dauphine in 
France published within the "Description de la France, 
departement du Rhone, gouvernement de Dauphine, in 
3 parts in one, including also XXIV, 102p.: Abrege de 
l'Histoire du Dauphine et des Princes Dauphins with 
a nice engraved text vignette showing the "Price des 
possessions du Dauphine en 1349" and the third part: 
Idee generale de ce gouvernement suivant ses principales 
divisions géographiques, physiques, économiques, ses 
productions, agriculture, commerce, manufactures, 
with 240p. and its own titlepage published in 1784. 
By far the most important part is the mineralogical one 
authored by Guettard. This later edition seems to have 
less pages although it's printed in 2 columns but has 20 
plates instead of 19 and may be this is a revised and 
enlarged edition.

RARE. No more published. Guettard had been 
officially commissioned to prepare an atlas of the min- 
eralogical wealth of France and in 1767 was authorized 
to begin his work and visit Alsace and Lorraine in order 
to collect the data for that region. He invited a young 
ANTOINE LAVOISIER, to accompany him. Unfortunately 
political intrigue and funding issues were to prevent the 
completion of the publication of the atlas. 

The first part was published under the joint au- 
thorship of Guettard and Antoine Grimoald Monnet 
although Lavoisier did much of the preparatory work. 
He had not only taken the field notes during his 1767 
trip with Guettard, but he also collated and arranged 
the mass of collected information, and prepared most of 
the detail work of the geological maps. By 1770 he had 
supervised the engraving of 16 plates for the expected 
series of 230 maps for the whole of France. Lavoisier 
also invented the feature of showing on the maps the 
heights of geological strata. But Monnet who added 
16 plates and a long text did not credit Lavoisier, al- 
though the latter angered by the treatment protested 
bitterly. Monnet published the whole as a first part

GUGLIELMINI 



GUGLIELMINI, Domenico. (Born: Bologna, Italy, 
27 August 1655; DIED: Padua, Italy, 12 June 1710) 
Italian physician & hydraulic expert. 

At the University of Bologna, Guglielmini studied 
mathematics under Geminiano Montanario [1633—1687] 
and medicine with Marcello Malpighi [1628-1694]. In 1678, 
he graduated with his medical degree, and soon thereafter 
became associated with the city's famous Museum of 
Aldrovandi. In 1686, he accepted a position with the water 
works of the Bologna state. In this post, Guglielmini began 
a lifelong study of fluid mechanics and hydrology, on which 
he wrote several books that are considered among the first 
scientific works on the subject. He returned to Bologna in 
1690 as professor of mathematics at the city's University. 
He accepted a. professorship in mathematics at Padua in 
1698, where in 1702 he was also named a professor of 
medicine. He died there after a long illness in his 55th 
year.

Extremely rare. An important contribution 
to the development of crystallography, Riflessioni 
Filosoñche is among the first publications to scientifi- 
cally treat the internal structure of crystals. The author 
entered into the study on the evening of March 21, 1688 
at the Accademia Filosoñca Esperimentale (Academy 
of Philosophical Experimenting) of Count Luigi Ferdi- 
nando Marsigilli in Bologna. At this particular meeting, 
Gugliemini demonstrated several experiments in the

precipitation of crystals from various saline solutions. 
Careful study of the resulting specimens led Gugliemini 
to conclude that only four primary crystal shapes ex- 
isted, and that all other geometries observed arose from 
various internal combinations of these four basic shapes 
and their associated salt. The four salts that possessed 
these forms were common salt (the cube), salt of vitriol 
(the rhombohedron), niter (the hexagonal prism), and 
alum (the octahedron). The author further hypothe- 
sized that although endowed with unalterable shapes, 
these four base types were built from collections of very 
small, unseeable pieces of the named salt. Even though 
the concepts rely upon seventeenth century doctrine, 
Gugliemini's studies into the nature of crystals was a 
significant advance in the emerging science of crystal- 
lography. Apparently printed in a small edition, this is 
a very rare book, with no copies recorded in NUC or 
the British Library Catalog.

FilosoRche (1st ed., Bologna, 1688). According to Mieleitner 
(1923), there is a Latin translation of the Riñessioni 
FilosoRche contained within the work (see: 1, 65-104). He 
does not consider this to be a good rendereing of the work, 
either. This collected edition also contains a fine engraved 
portrait as well as a long biography of Guglielmini by John 
Baptista Morgagni.

of Volterra in 1725 dedicated to Ferdinand II, and 
published at Venice a treatise De Minerahbus by one 
of his ancestors who lived from 1464 to 1530, and there 
was another printing of the book in 1627" (Duveen). 
This is not however a justified position, since the volume 
is principally concerned with legal questions concerning 
alchemists, gems and the like. Guidi also includes his 
own commentary and includes much information on 
the working practices of silver- and goldsmiths, gem 
merchants, cutters and polishers, etc. "The section on 
gems referred to by Thorndike appears on pages 64-73, 
and as in the other portions of the work, consists of 
a series of questions raised by Guidi and answered by 
quotations or statements taken from other authorities, 
among them Pliny, Isidore of Seville, the Bible, etc. The 
questions on gems are general and jump from topic to 
topic with little solid information divulged. Questions 
on pearls are included. More on gems appears in 
the section entitled "De Ornamentis," pp. 174-80" 
(Sinkankas). The British Library Catalogue claims 
that although the volume was authored by Joannes 
the Elder, it was edited and published by Joannes the 
Younger.

GUILD, Frank Nelson. (Born: Jaffrey, New 

Hampshire, USA, 28 December 1870; DIED: Tucson, 
Arizona, USA, 12 March 1939) American educator, 
geologist, chemist & mineralogist. 



Son of a clergyman, Guild attended the University of 
Vermont, graduating with a B.A. in 1894 and his masters 
in 1903. He later studied in Chicago, Paris and Heidelberg 
under Goldschmidt, but it was Stanford University that 
conferred on him a Ph.D. in 1917. He came to the faculty of 
the University of Arizona in 1897 as professor of chemistry 
and mineralogy, remaining throughout his career except 
those periods when ho studied abroad or í¡t. Stanford. He 
maintained contact with all the best known mineralogists 
of Germany, France, England and Sweden until his death. 
Guild was a recognized authority in optical mineralogy, a 
study he continued after his retirement in 1934. However, 
his investigations of the paragensis of silver minerals are the 
subject most prevailant in his publish writings. Over more 
than thirty years he trained numerous students in mining 
and allied industries. By presidential appointment he 
served several times on the United States assay commission.

Rare. This is a richly and elaborately illustrated 
work on economic mineralogy, petrology, and related 



topics. Published as the sixth part of a general series 
the publisher spared little expense in the production of 
this book. The original binding is an ornately decorated 
cloth, highlighted in gold, while the title pages are 
expertly printed in red and black ink. Through out the 
text, numerous illustrations depict descriptions in the 
text, and are additionally enhanced with the inclusion 
of eight plates (two chromolithographs) showing mining 
scenes, crystals, precious stones, mineral specimens, 
etc. The introduction (pp. 1-147) covers the basics 
of mineralogy, including definitions, crystal forms, 
instrumentation, physical and chemical properties, etc., 
and is based on the work of Groth, Schrauf, Doelter and 
Bauer. Precious stones and semi-precious stones are 
then described (pp. 148-301). Quarried stones, such as 
marble and granite are discussed (pp. 302-458), followed 
by various metallic ores (pp. 459-615). The economics 
and occurrences of coal are treated (pp. 616-697), as are 
salt (pp. 698-740). Comprehensive name and subject 
indexes close the work. Eight pages of advertisements 
are unusual in that they are printed in red and black!

In 1820 Gurney settled as a surgeon in Wadebridge, 
spending his leisure time in the study of chemistry. He 
succeeded Dr. Thomson in the lectureship of the Surrey 
Institution. Gurney invented steam carriages were the first 
self propelled road vehicles employed to carry passengers. 
They were used them to run a service from Gloucester to 
Cheltenham.

and disseminating scientific, technical, and literary 
knowledge and understanding among a wider public. 
The Institution offered its proprietors and subscribers 
the use of an extensive reference library and reading 
rooms and, most importantly, the opportunity to attend 
courses of lectures on scientific, technological, and 
other subjects. Though popular in approach, the 
lectures conformed to high educational standards and 
were delivered by recognized authorities in their fields. 
In the Surrey Institution's celebrated auditorium, 
the 'Rotunda', there appeared over the years such 
notable scientists as Accum, Thomson, and Gurney on 
chemistry, Millington, Mason Good, and Woodward on 
natural philosophy, Bakewell on geology, and Shaw on 
natural history; literature was brilliantly represented 
by Coleridge and Hazlitt. During its relatively brief 
life-span (1808-23)-cut short by financial stringencies- 
the Surrey Institution provided access to scientific 
knowledge and thinking to a wide and appreciative 
audience. As a meeting place of scientists and men of 
business with mercantile and manufacturing interests, it 
performed an important function in cross-fertilizing and 
reinforcing ideas on innovation and enterprise against 
the background of the ongoing Industrial Revolution. 

Gurney's course of chemical lectures was attended 
amongst others by Michael Faraday. While at the 
Surrey Institution he made his first invention, a 
oxyhydrogen blowpipe. He appended at the end of his 
course text an extensive description of this insturment 
together with 3 illustrative plates. For this invention he 
was the recipient of the Gold Medal of the Society of 
Arts.

VERY RARE. In a previous treatise, Lithophy- 
lacium Mitisianum, Güssmann under the heading of 
'native iron' described the large Krasnojarsk meteorite 
in some detail and various theories as to its origin. It 
was probable, Güssmann concluded that it had fallen 
from the sky. In this small work, written for the young 
Count Eugen Wrbna, Güssmann writes opposing the 
hypothesis that meteorites are ejecta from lunar volca- 
noes, and complains that his previous treatise had been 
completely ignored by other researchers.

to mineralogical studies that includes overviews of 
A. C.G. Batch's, Haüy's and Werner's classification 
methods. General principals are described in the areas 
of crystallography, mineral determination, chemical and 
physical properties, but the bulk of the volume is taken 
up by a descriptive mineralogical classification system.

VERY RARE. This is another of the very odd 
crystallographic works intended to be cut apart by the 
buyer, so that paper crystal models could be folded 
and glued together. The purpose was to allow the 
buyer to study crystal forms with cheap 3-dimensional 
forms rather than the typical flat pictures found in 
most crystallographic works. In this instance, Haberele 
has created a text in which 106 such models could 
be constructed. Due to its intended purpose of being 
cut apart, very few copies of this title appear to have 
survived to the present time.

HACQUET, Balthasar. (Born: cl739; Died: 

Vienna, Austria, 10 January 1815) Austrian naturalist, 
mineralogist & geologist. 

In 1778, Hacquet was appointed a professor at 
the University of Laibach, which were followed by 
appointments at the Universities of Lemberg in 1785 and 
Krakau in 1805. He was a naturalist and is regarded as one 
of the first true Alpine geologists.

Rare. A catalog of the minerals in the Royal 
collection at Vienna, fully annotated with references 
to the leading mineralogists of the day. It is divided 
into the following classes: metals, combustible minerals, 
salts, earths, and stones. There is also a description 
of the collection's volcanic products and fossils. The 
first pages, which act as an introduction, provide a 
short history of the collection. This is apparently the 
first published account of the mineral collection of this 
remarkable institution.

HAIDINGER, Wilhelm Karl Ritter von. (Born: 
Vienna, Austria, 5 February 1795; DlED: Dornbach, 
near Vienna, Austria, 19 March 1871) Austrian 
mineralogist & geologist. 

Haidinger received his basic education in Vienna, 
but moved to Graz in 1812, where he became assistant 
to F. MOHS. Mohs recommended him as a traveling 
companion to Count Breunner, and it was during these 
travels he was introduced to Georges Cuvier [1769—1832] 
and J.-B. Biot [1774-1862] in Paris and George Greenough 
[1778-1855], David Brewster [1781-1868] and T. ALLAN 
in Edinburgh. Haidinger must have made an impression 
in Edinburgh as he was hired to arrange Allan's mineral 
collection in 1823. While in Scotland, he began to publish 
papers on the determination of mineral species as well as 
his first major work, an English translation of Frederich 
Mohs Grundriss der Mineralogie (2 vols., Dresden, 1822— 
4), which was published in 1825. After 1827, Haidinger 
also became interested in pseudomorphs and the absorption 
of light in crystals — the later studies probably sparked 
by his association with David Brewster. In 1827, he 
returned to Elbogen, Austria where he worked in a china 
factory founded by his two brothers. He remained there 
until 1840 when an appointment as an inspector of mines 
(Bergrath) took him to Vienna. Through many years of 
patient lobbying, Haidinger helped establish the Austrian 
Geological Survey in 1849, of which he was named its first 
director. Haidinger also was a co-founder and member of 
the Imperial Royal Geographical Society in Vienna, co- 
founder of the Werner Association for Geological Research 
in Moravia and Silesia, co-founder of the Geological 
Association for Hungary, and co-founder of the Società 
geológica Milan. Haidinger is also credited with discovering 
a phenomena that enables detection of plane polarized 
light, now known as "Haidinger's brushes" in his honor.

ein vollständiges Mineralienkabinett bestehen soll" 
(see: Sammlungen zur Physik und Naturgeschichte, 1 
(1778), 387-420). Although the title of this work 
and Hailstone's position as Woodwardian Professor of 
geology at Cambridge would dictate otherwise, it is not 
clear that he ever delivered a single lecture.

HALL, Frederick. (BORN: Grafton, Virginia, U.S.A., 
1780; DIED: Peru, Illinois, U.S.A., 27 July 1843) 
American chemist & mineralogist. 

After graduating from Darthmouth in 1803, Hall 
tutored there for a year before accepting a position at 
Middlebury College. He taught mathematics and natural 
philosophy there until 1824. In 1808 he visited Europe, 
meet many of the notable scientists and sent back word 
of Humprey Davy's isolation of potassium and sodium — 
probably the first announcement to reach America. During 
his forties, Hall studied to become a physician, receiving his 
M.D. from Castleton (exinct) in 1827. From 1824 to 1828, 
he taught chemistry and mineralogy at Trinity College. 
He then went to Baltimore as president of Mt. Hope 
College (exinct) and from 1835 onwards he also lectured 
on mineralogy at Columbian College in Washington, D.C. 
In 1840, he was elected to a professorship in chemistry and 
pharmacy in Columbian's Medical School. Perhaps to seek 
information on mineral resources, Hall traveled west in the 
spring of 1843. Several weeks later word arrived back that 
he had succumbed to some form of cerebral disease.

state mineralogy. Approximately 140 mineral species 
are alphabetically arranged and described within this 



slim volume. Most species mentioned have localities 
within the state boundaries of Vermont, while a few are 
found only in the adjoining states. For his research, Hall 
relied heavily upon the mineralogical texts of PARKER 
Cleaveland and Henry Schoolcraft, as well as the 
periodical The American Journal of Science.

VERY RARE. Hall was probably self-taught as 
a mineralogist there being few formal classes in the 
subject in New England. Even so, he excelled in the 
subject and was able to offer in the winter of 1835-6 
a course on the subject. It consisted of 30 lectures. 
Students were also allowed to view more than 5,000 
specimens from his own collection to reenforce concepts 
taught. Non-students could also attend at a cost of $10 
per head. In 1838, he gave Darthmouth $5,000 to endow 
a professorship of mineralogy, plus specimens appraised 
at $5,000. In addition, he bequeathed the college, his 
alma mater, land valued at several thousand dollars and 
the remainder of his collection for the same purpose.

History 



Hamilton 




Hamilton 

his embassy became a cultural and musical centre; he 
entertained many travellers on the Grand Tour, studied 
Vesuvius (recording his observations in Campi Phlegraei: 
Observations on the Volcanos of the Two Sicilies, 1776), 
collected so-called Etruscan vases and paintings, and in 
1791 married, as his second wife, Emma, Hart (born Amy 
Lyon) who was to achieve notoriety as the mistress of 
Nelson. The Hamiltons were recalled to England in 1800, 
where Sir William died, with both Emma and Nelson 
attending his deathbed. His friends and correspondents 
included Beckford and Horace Walpole, and his collections 
exerted a wide influence on neo-classicism in Britain; one 
of his most important collections of vases, terracottas, 
coins, etc., sold to the British Museum in 1771, laid the 
foundation for its department of classical antiquities. 

Fourth son of Lord Archibald Hamilton. In 1758 
he married Catherine Barlow, the daughter of Member 
of Parliament Hugh Barlow. He became ambassador of 
England in Naples in 1764. He studied the excavations 
at Pompei and published scientific books on vases. His 
first collection of vases he sold to the British Museum, 
the second collection went down with the ship that was 
transporting them to England on 12 Oct 1798. 

After Catherine's death he married Emma Lyon when 
he was sixty years old. Emma eventually became far more 
famous than her husband as the mistress of Lord Nelson. 

Hamilton was elected FRS in 1766,

VERY SCARCE. Edited by the publisher Thomas 
Cadell. While he was the British Envoy to the 
Court of Naples, Hamilton made many important 
observations on the volcanoes of the region including 
Etna and Vesuvius as well as the extinct volcanoes of 
the Rhineland. With the companionship of the geologist 
and naturalist Hugh Strickland [1811-1853] the pair 
studied the vulcanology and geology of Asia Minor. 
Their observations were sent to the Royal Society in 
a series of important letters, which were gathered 
together and published as this study. Later, Hamilton 
would follow up on this work with his magnificently 
illustrated and monumental Campi Phlegraei [which see 
entry below].

Hamilton, of papers first published in Philosophical 
Transactions. 

Hamilton was elected FRS in 1766, and these papers 
were the first published the results of his extensive studies 
on volcanoes - he climbed Vesuvius at least twenty-two 
times. These detailed reports were important in the 
development of "vulcanism" (Porter Earth Sciences 5-14). 
His great colour plate book of views of volcanoes, Campi 
phlegraei, was not published until 1776.

RARE. A monumentally beautiful work, highly 
prized for its beautiful plates showing panoramas of 
Italian volcanoes, as well as minerals found around 
volcanoes. Text is in parallel columns of English and 
French. 

Also on view are striking hand-colored etchings 
by Pietro Fabris that depict the eruptions of Mount 
Vesuvius and the fiery fields of the Campi Phlegraei. In 
The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius on August 9, 1779, 
Fabris dramatically records the spectacular views that 
drew 18th-century travelers to the region to sketch and 
to collect rocks, shells, and antique fragments found on 
the path of the flowing lava. 

This huge tome describes volcanic areas around 
Pozzuoli to the west of Naples, Vesuvius, islands in 
the Bay and Mount Etna in Sicily. Campi Phlegraei 
was expensive to produce but provided clear, precise, 
more useful and much more detailed explanations of 
volcanic activity than had previously been published, 
and included Sir William Hamilton's own theories that 
volcanoes were creative rather than destructive forces. 
Published in both Italy and England it sold widely 
throughout Europe and was hailed as a masterpiece. 

Sir William Hamilton, the diplomat and archae- 
ologist, served as British envoy to the court of Naples 
from 1764-1800. It was at the end of his second year 
of residence in Naples that Vesuvius began a series of 
great volcanic eruptions, all of which he witnessed, in 
1767, 1779 and 1794. He produced several treatises on 
earthquakes and volcanoes, including these observations 
on Vesuvius and Etna, published in 1776. The text - 
the first major contribution on volcanology since the 
Renaissance - is Hamilton's own, while the fifty-four 
hand-coloured plates which describe the activity of the

volcanoes are the work of Pietro Fabris. A spectacular 
night view of the eruption of Vesuvius on 11 May 1771 
is shown here, the lava forming a beautiful cascade of 
fire; Hamilton is depicted drawing the original in the 
lower left corner. Knighted in 1772, Hamilton was a 
notable collector. He aided his friend, William Hunter, 
the original owner of this volume, in acquiring coins and 
medals from Italy. He was also the husband of Emma, 
Lady Hamilton, the mistress of Admiral Horatio Nelson. 

Fabris was the sole distributor of the work, which 
was originally published at 60 Neapolitan ducats for 
Part I and Part II; the price of the Supplement is not 
recorded. Jenkins and Sloan state that 'some copies 
have bodycolour and gum arabic added to the etchings, 
perhaps indicating that they were de luxe versions'.

Hungary is richly illustrated with engraved plates. It is 
not clear if this work has any connection to mineralogy, 
but it is listed in Gatterer's bibliography. 

The greater part of this work, which is a sort of 
German Coryat, is filled with a history of the wars between 
Hungary and Turkey, but it has also a special interest 
for the American collector, as it contains a series of 
fifteen curious representations of the aborigines of America, 
all with detailed descriptions of their manners, customs, 
religion, etc. We find among them representations of the 
natives of New-France, New-Nether- land, Virginia, a King 
of Florida, Californians, Peruvians, Chilians, Mexicans, 
etc. — Sabin

HARIOT, Thomas. (BORN: Oxford, England, 1560; 
DIED: London, England, 1621) English explorer, 
navigational expert, mathematician, scientist & as- 
tronomer. 

Hariot was tutor to Sir Walter Raleigh, who sent him 
in 1585 to Virginia as surveyor with Sir Richard Grenville. 
Returning to England, Hariot wrote A Brief and True Report 
of the New Found Land of Virginia (1588), one of the earliest 
known large-scale statistical surveys. He made valuable 
contributions to algebra, introducing new symbols and 
notation. His Artis analyticae praxis appeared in 1631.

EXTREMELY RARE. The science of North America 
began with Thomas Hariot and his Brief and True 
Report of the New Found Land of Virginia, a thin 
volume in quarto, printed at London in 1588. This 
narrative appeared in the English market in an attempt 
to entice others to emigrate to the recently founded 
colony of Roanoke in the Virginia colony. It is now 
one of the rarest and most precious works relating to 
America and is full of interest to the naturalist. Hariot's 
description of the Indians and their customs and 
beliefs, though strongly tinctured with prepossessed 
ideas concerning them, is thorough and scholarly, and 
one of the fullest and most reliable of the early treatises 
upon the inhabitants of North America. In addition, 
Hariot gives a good description of the natural history 
of the territory surrounding the colony, included are 
descriptions of the plants, roots, berries, fish, animals 
and minerals that were readily available to the colonists. 
Among the mineral substances desecribed are pyrite, 
clay, slate, pearls, and iron and copper ores. These 
are the earliest printed descriptions about mineralogical 
items found on the North American continent. 

Hariot's Report is an abstract of a now-lost 
Chronicle written while he lived in Virginia in 1585- 
6. Although in the Report Hariot states his intent to 
publish the full Chronicle at a later date, it was never 
printed. The first edition of A Briefe and True Report 
was published in quarto in 1588. It does not appear in 
the Stationers' Register, nor does any printer's name 
or mark appear in the text. However, Randolph 
Adams identifies the printer's device on the title page as 
belonging to London printer Robert Robinson. There is 
no record of how many copies of the 1588 edition were 
printed, but the run is assumed to be small. The book

HARKORT, Eduard. (Born: 1797; Died: August 
1834 or 1835) German geographer & mineralogist. 

Harkort entered the Freiberg Bergakademie in 1826, 
but in 1827 he emigrated to Mexico and probably became 
for several years the manager of the Santa Ana Smelter 
on the Rio Yavonio. The political turmoil swept him 
up however, and he joined the Mexican revolution in 
1833, participating in the battles as Chief of the Corps of 
Engineers. Later he served as colonel of the artillery in the 
Texas army, dying of fever in Galveston.

RARE. Published at the expense of the author this 
single section dealing with blowpipe and assay tests for 
silver is all that appeared of a general work describing 
the assay art utilizing the blowpipe. In 1826 Harkort 
came to the Freiberg Bergakademie and was taught 
blowpipe analysis by JOHANN FRIEDRICH AUGUST 
BREITHAUPT. He excelled at the work, developing a 
method of identifying potassium by blowpipe analysis 
in which the sample was mixed with nickel hydroxide 
and borax and fused. A characteristic blue coloration of 
the glass bead appeared in the presence of potassium. 

In his Die Probirkunst mit dem Löthrohre he 
introduced quantitative analysis to blowpipe technique. 
Descriptions are given that provide procedures for 
testing the percentage of silver present in samples 
of minute size. In essence Harkort applies in 

miniature the ancient techniques that were used to 
test large quantities of silver ore in the muffle furnace. 
Unfortunately, no other sections of the book were 
published and innovations that Harkort might have 
brought to blowpipe art never appeared. However, he 
is credited with introducing the blowpipe assay scale as 

standard equipment.

HARTMANN, Carl Friedrich Alexander. (Born: 
Zorge near Walckenriedt, Harz, Germany, 8 January 
1796; DlED: Leipzig, Germany, 3 August 1863) German 
mineralogist, mining expert & metallurgist. 

Hartmann was the son of a foundry official in the 
Oberharz, a prolific mining/mineral district in Germany. 
From these roots, he developed an early interest in mining 
and metallurgy, and through family connections secured a 
position as a student at the mining school in Clausthal, 
Austria. Although his studies were interrupted from 1813 
to 1816 by a stretch in the German army fighting Napoleon, 
he resumed his education afterward, becoming an assistant 
to Christian Samuel Weiss at the University of Berlin. 
In 1821, while still a student, Hartmann entered into a 
marriage that he could not financially support: therefore, 
he was obligated to leave the University and accept a 
bookkeeping position in Brunswick to provide for his 
family. His discretion and conscientiousness often meant 
being entrusted with important assignments. However, all 
spare time away from work or family was devoted to private 
study in the areas of geology, mining and mineralogy. His 
publications and translations in these fields brought him 
recognition and opportunities to travel throughout Europe.

Hausmann 

HAUSMANN, Johann Friedrich Ludwig. (Born: 
Hannover, Germany, 22 February 1782; DIED: 
Göttingen, Germany, 26 December 1859) German 
mineralogist. 

Hausmann received his formal education at the 
University of Göttingen, from which he graduated with 



a Ph.D. in 1806. Afterward he made an extended one 
year geological tour of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. An 
appointment as General Inspector of Mines for Westphalia 
carne in 1809, and in 1811, Hausmann accepted a position 
as professor of technology and mining at the Göttingen. 
Later he became professor of geology and mineralogy. In 
1811, Hausmann was elected a member of the Königl. 
Societät der Wissenschaften in Göttingen, a body for which 
he served as secretary from 1840 to 1859. The mineral 
"Hausmannite" was named after him by W. HAIDINGER in 
1831.

Hausmann 



VERY SCARCE. The first attempt at applying 
spherical trigonometry to crystallographic description. 
In the preliminaries, Hausmann writes of being 
influenced by RENÉ Just HaÜY's Traité de Mineralogie 
(1st ed., Paris, 1801). After some thought, he decided 
to apply the techniques of spherical trigonometry to the 
problem of crystal description, and the results of this 
research is reproduced in this work. 

The text is divided into six sections. The 
first (pp. 2—20) give a short account of Haüy's 
theory of the structure of crystals. Each of the 
remaining five sections describe the crystallization of 
a single mineral. Described species are boracite (from 
Lüneburg, Germany), feldspar, barite, sphalerite and 
magnetite (from Ilefeld, Germany). For each mineral, 
information from Haüy's work is provided, and then 
Hausmann presents the application of his mathematical 
treatment to the crystallographic problem.

as an introduction to mineralogy, Hausmann has 
carefully compiled and digested everthing known 
about mineralogical science, occasionally interweaving 
the text with his own personal views. After a 
short introduction to mineralogy, a long section 
giving definitions of terminology and another covering 
systematics is presented. A general index completes the 
work.

an appropriate system by which mineral substances 
could be organized. After Schwartz's death, Hausmann 
endeavored to fullfill a promise made to his collaborator 
and published this discourse, which outlines their

VERY SCARCE. A thorough compendium 

classifying every known mineral species. Following the 
introduction is an overview of the classificaiton system. 
The system Hausmann follows in this enterprise, was 
originally presented in his Entwurf eines Systems der 
unorganisirten Naturkörper (Cassei, 1809) [see above 
entry]. Only slight modifications have been made to 
the system from the earlier work. After this overview 
the more detailed descriptive mineralogy arranged 
according to the outline is presented. It is divided 
into the classes of combustibles, incombustibles, earths, 
oxides, acids and salts. Throughout the volumes 
Hausmann has applied careful and judicial judgement 
in expressing his own views and the mention of new 
discoveries and theories. Volume three concludes with 
two indexes. Each lists the described mineral spieces, 
one referencing names in German, while the other lists 
names in French.

PLATES: There are two folding plates at the end of part

VERY SCARCE. Part one of this work, comprising 
the first volume, is a comprehensive, well thought 
out introduction to mineralogical science. In the 

forward, Hausmann writes that this new edition of his 
Handbuch is made necessary by the many changes in 
the science of mineralogy, particularly with regard to 
chemistry and crystallography. All parts of the science 
had undergone transformation and there had been new 
discoveries. After presenting a generalization of these 
events, Hausmann explains that these changes are digested 
into this introduction. In this first part, the basic 
concepts of the science are covered. Included is material 
on terminology, theoretical principles, nomenclature, and 
systematic classification. The second portion of the 
work was published in two volumes and consists of the 
descriptive mineralogy. As in the previous edition, all know 
mineral species are described in the classification devised 
by Hausmann. 



The first volume was also issued under the title: 
Versuch ei ner Ei nleitung i n die Mineralogie (Göttingen, 1828) 
[see entry below].

Haüy 

HAUY, René Just. (Born: St.-Just-en-Chaussée, 
Oise, France, 28 February 1743; DIED: Paris, France, 
1 June 1822) French mineralogist & crystallographer. 

Born to a poor family, Haüy received a good classical 
and theological education by means of a scholarship to 
the College de Navarre in Paris. In 1770, after he was 
ordained a priest, Haüy was assigned a teaching post at 
the College Cardinal Lemoine. There he became interested 
in botany, but after attending DAUBENTON's lectures on 
mineralogy he turned his attention to mineralogy. Haüy 
was elected an associate member of the Paris Academy of 
Science in February 1783. In 1793, after the publication of 
his Essai d'une Théorie sur la Structure des Cristaux (Paris, 
1794), Haüy left teaching to devote his full attention to 
mineralogical studies. During the French revolution, he 
placed himself in jeopardy by refusing to swear the oath 
required by the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. He was 
arrested, but through the efforts of his former student, 
E. GEOFFROY Saint-Hilaire, Haüy was released the night 
before the others prisoners were executed. In 1793 he was 
appointed to the Commission of Weights and Measures. 
Also, in 1793, he attempted unsuccessfully to gain the 
release of A. LAVOISIER. In 1795, he was appointed an 
instructor of physics and mineralogy at the Ecole des Mines 
(School of Mines). After the death of D. DOLOMIEU, he 
succeeded to the post of professor of mineralogy at the 
Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle (Museum of Natural History), 
where he greatly enlarged the mineral collection. In 1809, 
Haüy also assumed the newly created chair of mineralogy 
at the Sorbonne. He retained these posts until his death. 

Haüy's own 12,000 specimen mineral collection was 
sold in 1823 to the Duke of Buckingham. In 1848, it was 
returned to France when the Jardine des Plantes purchased 
it from the Duke's heirs. Today, over 6,000 specimens 
labeled in Haüy's handwriting have been identified.

VERY SCARCE. Haüy's first printed book, this work 
was insturmental in establishing a solid foundation on 
which modern theories of crystal structure rest. In it, 
Haüy brought together the advances in crystallography 
made by Rome de l'lsle, Bergman and others into a 



coherent structural theory, based on the structural unit, 
the "molecule constituante" (later renamed by him to 
"molecule integrante") . Haüy's model depicted crystals 
as built up out of these molecular units which were 
polyhedral in form. Haüy also theorized a common 
"nucleus" or "primitive form" for all crystals of the 
same "species." This primative form was often revealed 
by cleavage of a crystal symmetrically along its angles 
and edges. Haüy's theory of crystal structure changed 
little in its essentials during the remainder of his 
career, which went on for almost forty years after the 
publication of the Essai. 

After the introduction, the text is divided into ten 
articles, the first two of which describe the structure 
of crystals based upon primary and secondary forms. 
The next seven articles apply the theory to various 
minerals, while the final chapter gives observations and 
conjectures on the formation of crystals.

VERY RARE. Prior to the publication of his great 
work, Traité de Minéralogie (Paris, 1801) and perhaps 
at the urging of the French revolutionary council, Haüy 
published an extract of the first volume in the Journal 
des Mines [see 29, ?????]. It apparently generated 
enough interest that this very scarce book containing 
a reprint of that article and the accompanying 3 plates 
was prepared from it. In the advertisement, Coquebert 
informs the public that Citizen Haüy is totally engaged 
in completing the manuscript of his great work that will 
contain many new observations about cyrstallography 
and mineralogy as outlined in this Extrait.

EXTREMELY RARE. This is a different earlier issue 
of the complete text of the Traité de Minéralogie in 
a quarto sized volume. The text has been reset to 
utilize the larger paper size, and based on the Errata, 
this appears to be an earlier issue of the Traité, which 
perhaps for economic reasons of paper and binding 
material was reduced in size to the more common octavo 
issue. The Freilich Sale Catalog calls this a large paper 
issue, which it is not. The text is completely reset, 
rather than being printed on a larger paper size stock. 
So far only four copies of this issue has been located.

SCARCE. This work is arguably the most influential 
work written in the historical development of mineralogy 
and crystallography. It far superseded any previous 
attempt to create a mineralogical classification. It is a 
work of comprehensive insight, and much of it, written in 
literary fluency, repays the casual curiosity of mineralogists 
and historians of science. Haüy's magnum opus containing 
his theory of crystal structure and his system of mineral 
classification. Haüy's law of decrement states led his 
successors directly to the law of rational indices, one of the 
fundamental laws of modern crystallography. This work 
was immediately recognized as the most important offered 
by France to the science of mineralogy, one that placed 
the country at the forefront of the European nations in 
this science. In it the author makes crystallography the 
basis of his determination of mineral species, relegating the 
data derived from chemical analysis to second rank. The 
mathematical precision with which the crystallographic 
facts could be presented provided an absolutely exact basis 
for mineralogy which it had lacked before that time, as the 
correctness of the crystallographic determinations could 
always be proved by rigid geometrical tests. 

In his mineral classification, Haüy believed that 
chemistry played a secondary rôle to crystallography in 
determining species groups. The work also contains Haüy's 
discovery of piezo-electricity. 

The work opens with a Preliminary Discourse that 
assumes the character of a literary dissertation, generally 
philosophic, frequently eloquent, and always dignified 
and learned. Haüy first draws comparisons between the 
study of minerals and the obvious charms of zoology and 
botany, with their living subjects to study. He then 
explains the mysteries of the science. The polyhedral 
shape of crystals for example can bring mathematical 
precision to the science. Haüy notes the easy separation 
of natural substances into stones, salts, bitumens, and 
metals, the quick recognition of crystals, the artificial and 
purely empirical classification of minerals, by their external 
characters, combined with a few simple reactions, as the 
effervescing of carbonates, the later systems of Cronstedt, 
Bergman, Born, Kirwan, etc., when analysis usurped the 
place of mere inspection. He emphasizes the importance 
of distinguishing varieties, as in calcite, a conviction he 
incorporated into his description of the minerals. He also 
illustrates the value of analysis in alluding to the mineral 
smithsonite that was first regarded as a zeolite, later 
as heavy spar, and then shown conclusively by chemical 
analysis to be a salt of zinc.

SCARCE. In 1809, Haüy issued his Tableau 
Comparatif, which had the stated objective that it 
would give those who had followed his course of lectures 
a complete tabulation of his mineralogical methods, 
updated to include the discoveries and observations the 
science had gained since the publication of his Traité de 
Minéralogie (Tableau, p. i). 

Yet the Tableau Comparatif was more than a mere 
compendium of recent mineralogical statistics. Since 
the publication in 1801 of the Traité, Haüy's theories 
had come increasingly under attack. Specifically, his 
fundemental concept that every definite crystalline 
form or "molecule integrant" is characteristic of only 
one substance of definite chemical composition, and 
conversely that every substance of definite chemical 
composition can occur in only one definite crystalline 
form, drew Haüy into the Proust/Berthollet controversy 
about fixed versus variable proportions in chemical 
compositions. 

Haüy's insistence upon the "molecule integrant" 
being the unique, fixed criteria for determining every 
mineral species lead him to implicitly accept the 
chemical law of fixed proportions long before Proust 
had declared it (Hooykaas, 1952). This position was 
in direct opposition to Berthollet, who believed that 
chemical composition was not fixed as Proust and Haüy 
claimed, but rather was of a variable nature. Therefore, 
in his 1803 Essai De Statique Chimique, Berthollet 
assailed Haüy's ideas about fixed mineral species in 
an elaborate note (Essai, 1, 433—449; Hooykaas, 1952). 
In answer to Berthollet's criticisms Haüy wrote the 
Tableau Comparatif which defended his position on the 
"molecule integrant" and its importance in uniquely 
defining a mineral species. 

The book is divided essentially into two parts. The 
first is a "Methodical distribution of mineral species 
principally determined with the aid of crystallography," 
while the second is titled, "Notes relating to the results 
of the analyses and other points on the philosophy of 
mineralogy."

VERY SCARCE. A landmark book in the science 
of gemology, described by Sinkankas (1994) as "the 
first determinative gemology worthy of the name." 
This book marks a transition from earlier descriptive 
lapadaries to works based on scientific studies. The 
volume describes the crystallography and physical 
properties of various gemstones, and characterizes how 
these qualities might be used in identifying a stone, 
whether rough or cut. To facilitate this an identification 
table is provided. The three plates show various crystal 
forms, a Nicholson's hydrometer (used for measuring 
specific gravity) and other laboratory apparatus for 
testing electrical properties.

VERY SCARCE. Haüy's last work containing the 
culmination of his studies in crystallography. It greatly 
enlarges the number of species described, but the theory 
first published in his Essai d'une Théorie (Paris, 1784) 
remains essentially the same. Haiiy also recognizes 
hernitropical crystals (so named by him, but first 
observed by Rome de l'Isle).

HEBENSTREIT, Johann Ernst. (Born: Neustadt- 
Orla, Germany, 15 January 1702; DIED: Leipzig, 
Germany, 5 December 1757) German physician, 
botanist & natural historian. 

From 1719, Hebenstreit studied the subjects of 
medicine and natural hisotry at the Universities of Jena 
and Leipzig. At Leipzig in 1728 he was awarded the 
degree of master ol philosophy, and in 1730 he graduated 
as a doctor of medicine based upon the dissertation, De 
viribus minerarum et mineralium medicamentosis (Leipzig, 
1730). While at Leipzig, Hebenstreit had come under 
the influence of August Quirinus Rivinus [1652—1723], who 
introduced him to the field of botany. Upon his graduation, 
Hebenstreit found a position at the royal botanical gardens 
of the city. On behalf of Saxon King August II, Hebenstreit 
along with five companions, including Christian Gottlob 
Ludwig [q. v.], travelled from 1731 to 1733 on an extended 
expedition throughout North Africa. Their task was 
to collect natural history specimens as well as living 
animals, and bring them back to Leipzig. Upon the 
expeditions return, Hebenstreit took over as ordinary 
professor of physiology at the University of Leipzig. When 
the oppurtunity arrived, he also moved in succession to 
the professorships of anatomy and surgery, pathology and 
therapy. 

Hebenstreit published works deal mostly with the 
anatomical and physiological aspects of medicine. His 
writings are based upon practical experience, and his 
Anthropologie Forensis (Leipzig, 1751) is among the first 
publications to show a connection between forensic 
medicine and the law. Hebenstreit was also interested 
in ancient medicine as it compared to his contemporary 
knowledge. He authored Erklärung Greich. Wörter von 
Krankheiten des menschlichen Körpers (1st ed., Leipzig, 
1751), which is a glossary explaining Greek words that 
describe diseases of the human body. In natural history, 
Hebenstreit attempted to improve the system of plant 
classification by dividing plants based upon their fruits, 
and he devised a system for crustaceans and fish after their 



outer organs. Hebenstreit was voted a membership to the 
Leopoldian Akademie in 1731.

VERY SCARCE. A lavish book, describing and 
illustrating the minerals, fossils, gems and other objects 
of natural history contained in the collection of Johann 
Christoph Richter [see note below]. Richter had studied 
in his youth philosophy and literature; however, he 
succumbed to family wishes and pursued a successful 
career in business, which included dealing with glass 
making sands and coloring agents. Curious about the 
origins of the products he sold, Richter traveled to the 
mines that produced the agents. There he had his first 
introduction to the mineral specimens that he would 
spend the remainder of his life collecting. Richter wrote 
in the preface to this book: "The collection ... grew 
from day to day, to such an extent that it became 
necessary to sort the specimens into categories and 
arrange them on shelves and in display cabinets. As the 
number of shelves kept growing, my love for these things 
grew also, so that after a while, whatever time I had left 
over from the management of my personal or business 
affairs, I dedicated to their study and care" (Wilson 
(1994). Fortunately, Richter decided that some record 
of his collection and its organization should be preserved 
so that others might learn from his experience. For this 
purpose the services of Johann Ernst Hebenstreit were 



retained to write the systematic catalog and Christian 
Friedrich Boëtius [see note below] to illustrate the book 
with faithful engravings. The resultant book is Mvsevm 
Richterianvm. 

The volume begins with a dedication to Saxon 
Prince Friedrich Christian and Richter's preface 
describing the development of his collection and the 
preparation of the catalog. Following this is a 

detailed discussion of the development of natural 
history collecting and systematic mineralogy. For 
this Hebenstreit draws upon earlier authorities and 
books by Pliny, Dioscorides, Aldrovandus, Henckel, 
Agrícola, Gesner, Woodward, Linnaeus, Theophrastus, 
Caesalpinus, Mercati, etc. Ordered by the principal 
metal contained, the minerals and ores are then 
methodically discussed. Each metal is covered is in 
its own chapter, with the different mineral species 
and varieties that contain the metal listed underneath. 
Other chapters cover the sulfides, bitumen, salts, clays, 
"earths," quartz, and the gems. In each chapter 
after the systematic presentation, Richter's specimens 
are described with notes about association, habit and 
locality. Following the large mineralogical section of the 
work, other objects of Richter's collection are described. 
Included are marble, fossils, and preserved biological 
specimens. Finally, appended at the end and illustrated 
by three plates is a dissertation concerning the antique 
gem cameos contained in Richter's collection by Johann 
Friedrich Christ [see note below]. This work is titled: 
Mvsei Richteriani Dactyliotheca Gemnas Scalptas 
Opere Antiqvo Plerasqve Complexa Interprete loh. 
Frider. Christo. It follows the main treatise by 
Hebenstreit and may have in its history been separately 
issued as its own book. For further information on 
Christ and this work see, Sinkankas, J.S. (1993): nos. 
1297 and 1831. 

A significant feature of Mvsevm Richterianvm 
are the splendid plates. These include a large 

folding engraved frontispiece showing the interior of 
the museum, a full page portrait of Richter engraved 
after a 1739 painting by M. Bernigerothi and thirteen 
other plates realistically depicting 114 fine mineral 
specimens from Richter's collection. Two states of 
these plates exist. The most common issue are the 
uncolored which for their early date outshine many 
black and white mineral illustrations of later centuries. 
The second much rarer state is when the plates are 
superbly colored. More than likely, these were colored 
using the specimens themselves as models because 
very few colored mineralogies show the realistic, 3— 
dimensional quality present in almost everyone of the 
illustrations. Unfortunately, no information has been 
uncovered pointing to the colorist who tinted the plates, 
but with their skill, they created what is perhaps the 
finest hand— colored mineralogy.

Heddle 



1751) German banker & mineral collector. A wealthy 
Leipzig banker, he built a large mineral collection of 2,309 
specimens, plus gems, rocks, fossils and botanical examples 
for a total of 5,631 items in all. The museum was sold 
in 1751, with a few specimens being acquired by JOHANN 

Heinrich Linck. 

Christian Friedrich Boëtius. (BORN: Leipzig, Germany, 
1706; DIED: Dresden, Germany, 1782) German copper 
engraver. Boëtius was born the son of a bookseller 
and auctioneer. At an early age he was apprenticed to 
the Leipzig goldsmith Johann Friedrich Lauch. Boëtius 
was further artistically trained at the Zeichenakademie 
in Leipzig, where he remained four years. His highly 
developed skill as a copper plate engraver soon provided 
him with a steady flow of customers in Leipzig; however, 
sometime after 1736, Boëtius accepted a position in 
Dresden as court etcher and instructor at the local art 
academy. He remainded there until his death.

HEDDLE, Matthew Forster. (Born: Melsetter,

mineralogist. 

Heddle graduated with an M. D. from the University 
of Edinburgh in 1851. When he attended the University of 
Edinburgh, Heddle took R. Jameson's lectures on natural 
history topics. While he was practicing medicine in 
Edinburgh, Heddle became interested in mineralogy and 
geology, particularly as they related to his native land. 
Around 1856, he was appointed assistant professor of 
chemistry at the University of St. Andrews. He became 
a full professor in 1862, and continued to teach until his 
retirement in 1885. It is recorded that Heddle used a 
portion of his income to purchase equipment and supplies 
for the mineralogical laboratory at St. Andrews. Heddle 
decided early in his career to focus his considerable energy 
on the study of mineralogy in Scotland. To this purpose, he 
made many excursions throughout the country, collecting 
minerals. Even the most remote deposits were accessible 
to his unflagging energy and ingenuity. As a consequence, 
Heddle amassed a large collection of minerals and agates, 




Heddle 

particularly rich in Scottish localities. The collection is now 
housed in the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh. Heddle 
was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and 
president of the Geological Society of Edinburgh in the year 
1851. He was also elected President of the Mineralogical 
Society of Great Britain in 1879.

VERY SCARCE. This unsurpassed compilation 
of Scottish minerals is among the best topographical 
mineralogies yet written. It was the product of the 
author's lifelong desire to publish a comprehensive work 
on the mineralogy of his homeland, but at his death the 
manuscript remained unfinished. The notes were left to 
Alexander Thorns, who placed the work of completion 
in the competent hands of the mineralogist John George 
Goodchild [1844-1906]. 

Goodchild's responsibility was to sift through the 
mass of detail recorded in the notes and with as little 
alteration as possible create the two volumes of the 
present work. It must have been difficult. Many of 
the localities were laborious to identify, having been 
phonetically spelt by Heddle in his early journeys and 
not existing on any maps. Further, it was not clear 
what specimens related to the many figures the author 
had created, or what is the meaning of their symbols. 
Heddle was a competent draughtsman, and there are 
no less than 103 plates each containing about eight 
figures that accompany the two volumes. However, 
many of these figures come from other sources, having 
been redrawn by Heddle, with no clear indication as 



to their value in the identification of Scottish species. 
Goodchild not knowing the importance of the drawings, 
decided to include them all. 

In addition to the plates, a remarkable feature 
of the book are a number of beautiful and elaborate 
stereographic and gnomonic projections drawn by 
Wilbert Goodchild. The only book prior to The 
Mineralogy of Scotland that had included such 
illustrations was Alfred Louis Olivier Legrand Des 
Cloizeaux's [q. v.] Manuel de Minéralogie (2 vols. Sz 
atlas, Paris, 1862—93), and they are not as elaborate as 
those in the present work. 

Volume one begins with Thorns memoir on the 
life and accomplishments of Heddle, and progresses 
through systematic and alphabetical lists of Scottish 
minerals. James Currie has added a complete list of 
Scottish pseudomorphs. Concluding the introductory 
material is an index of minerals arranged according to 
the counties where they are found. The bulk of the 
work is then presented. This is a descriptive mineralogy 
arranged upon a chemical classification of the just over 
200 mineral species found in Scotland. Every locality 
where the species is known to occur is enumerated. 
The description includes the kind of rock in which the 
mineral occurs, and a statement of other associated 
species. In addition, an account of the crystalline forms 
and of the physical and chemical properties is given for 
each species. Under some minerals can be found an 
interesting historical commentary. Goodchild has also 
added greatly to the work's value by the inclusion at 
the end of a very complete synonymic index of locality 
names, in which he has taken great pains to give the 
exact situation of the place.

Heinitz (or Heynitz) was a member of an important 
aristocracy family in Saxony. He attended the Universities 
of Dresden and Freiberg, where he studied mining and 
smelting. In 1765, he was put in charge of mining, 
smelting, and forestry in Saxony and immediately founded 
the Bergakademie Freiberg, now the oldest mining school in 
the world. He is considered as the reformer of the mining

describes minerals, rocks, stones, ores, etc. while 
the second part provides descriptions of techniques 
in assaying and metallurgy. Typical of the period, 
all types of mineralogical objects are described 
including such odd materials as fossils, figured stones, 
precious and semiprecious gems and other curiosities 
derived from the earth. Also included are recipes 
for manufacturing colored glasses and discussions of 
artificial gemstones. Basic facts are included in the 
descriptions such as localities, physical properties and 
uses in medicine and industry.

SCARCE. Christian von Hellwig published this work 
under the pseudonym Valentin Kräutermann. The text 
describes all aspects of mineralogy but with special 
attention paid to the medical benefits. The author 
describes historic uses of minerals and provides quite 
detailed commentary on specific species. These include the 
noble metals of silver and gold as well as the technological 
materials of copper, tin, lead, and zinc. Procedures for 
assaying ores are outlined and information on how to 
overcome purity problems are given. The frontispiece shows 
a woodcut scene of a mine with wench and ore hoist in the 
foreground and a scenic view in the background. 

The text is divided into two parts. The first treats 
metals and their associated minerals and covers, gold, 
silver, copper, iron &¿ steel, zinc, lead and mercury. The 
second provides methods for distinguishing between gold 
and silver by means of acids, heating, and combinations 
with other fluxes and compounds like antimony, lead and 
copper. Another section explains how to differentiate 
between gold and silver and the other metals like copper, 
iron, zinc, lead and mercury. Methods and procedures for 
assaying various ores are then presented.

HENCKEL, Johann Friedrich. (Born: Merseburg, 
Germany, 1 August 1678; DIED: Freiburg, Germany, 26 
January 1744) German mining expert. 

The son of the town physician, in 1698, Heckel 
enrolled at the University of Jena to study theology; 
however, he switched to medicine and in a few years 
transferred to Dresden, where he opened a medical practice, 
without obtaining an M.D. In 1711, he resumed his medical 
studies at the University of Halle, taking an M.D. under 
G.E. STAHL. Subsequently, Henckel relocated to the mining 
town of Freiberg in Saxony. There he practiced medicine 
for 18 years, becoming district physician in 1718 and 
town physician and mine physician in 1721. For pleasure, 
Henckel provided courses in chemistry and preformed 
chemical experiments. This lead to his publication of 
several works important works [described below]. In 1730, 
under the patronage of an influential noble, he resigned his 
post. Eventually he was appointed councilor of mines, and 
was able to establish a large laboratory in Freiberg. There, 
he resumed his annual course in metallurgical chemistry, 
teaching six students of a time. Among his distinguished 
pupils were A.S. M ARGGRAF and M.V. LOMONOSOV. This 
course became renowned throughout Europe, and was 
probably instrumental in the founding of the Freiberg 
Bergakademie in 1765.

SCARCE. Henckel, director of the mining works at 
Freiberg, was called by Partington the "father of min- 
eral chemistry." In the famous Kieshistorie he has writ- 
ten a monograph on the single topic of pyrite. Henckel 
recognizeds three types: golden iron pyrites, golden 
copper pyrites and white arsenic pyrites. Within the 
body of the text, he proceeds to describe, experiment 
and speculate upon each of these types. Henckel uses 
physical properties such as hardness and crystal form, 
chemical composition including the amounts of sulphur, 
arsenic, copper, etc contained, and speculates on why 
pyrite is usually found in association with rich veins 
of ore. It is an encyclopedic work on the subject, and 
exerted a strong influence of subsequent investigators 
engaged in mineral analysis. 

The attractive and charmingly primitive fron- 
tispiece depicts ore being transported from the mine to 
a smelting shed and other aspects of mining life. The 
plates depict pyrites in their various forms.

SCARCE. Henckel, director of the mining works at 
Freiberg, has been called the "father of mineral chemistry." 
In the famous Kieshistorie he has written a monograph 
on the single topic of pyrite. Henckel recognizeds three 
types: golden iron pyrites, golden copper pyrites and 
white arsenic pyrites. Within the body of the text, he 
proceeds to describe, experiment and speculate upon each 
of these types. Henckel uses physical properties such as 
hardness and crystal form, chemical composition including 
the amounts of sulphur, arsenic, copper, etc contained, and 
speculates on why pyrite is usually found in association 
with rich veins of ore. It is an encyclopedic work on 
the subject, and exerted a strong influence of subsequent 
investigators engaged in mineral analysis. 

The text is divided into 16 chapters. (1) Introduces 
the subject of the book and the method Henckel will use to 
explain the topic, (2) discusses the names of the pyrites, (3) 
distinguishes several species of pyrites, (4) beds (outcrops) 
of pyrites, (5) the production and generation of pyrites, (6) 
description of iron pyrites, (7) description of copper pyrites, 
(8) examines the unmetallic earths found in pyrites, (9) 
sulphur in pyrites, (10) arsenic in pyrites, (11) silver in 
pyrites, (12) gold in pyrites, (13) discusses theories of the 
formation of pyrites, (14) vitriol of pyrites, (15) explains 
several uses of pyrites, especially in reference to making 
sulphur, and (16) a history of Hessian pyrites, called Terra 
martis Hessiaca, communicated by M. Rosinus. 

The attractive and charmingly primitive frontispiece 
depicts ore being transported from the mine to a smelting 
shed and other aspects of mining life. The plates depict 
pyrites in their various forms.

HENKEL, Johann Friedrich. 

See: Henckel, Johann Friedrich. 

HENSLOW, John Stevens. (BORN: Rochester, Kent, 
England, 6 February 1796; DIED: Hitcham, Suffolk, 
England, 16 May 1861) English botanist. 

Born into a large family, Henslow was educated in the 
country, where he developed a love for nature. He kept this 
interest when he entered in 1814, Cambridge University, 
where he studied mathematics, chemistry, and mineralogy 
(under Clarke). Botany was his true interest, however. He 
eventually became a professor of Botany at Cambridge, a 
position which he kept the remainder of his professional 
life.

VERY RARE. In 1818 Henslow was elected a fellow 
of the Linnean Society and in 1819 a fellow of the 
Geological Society of London. He prepared an extensive 
geological survey of the Island of Anglesea that was 
published as "Geological Description of Anglesea," 
(Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1 
(1822), 359-452). This led to his election to the chair of 
mineralogy at Cambridge in 1822. In that capacity he 
gave lectures on the subject to his students, of which the 
present work is the accompanying text to those classes. 
However, Henslow was more interested in botany, and 
in 1825 when the position opened, he offered himself as 
a candidate and was elected unopposed to the chair of 
botany. So Henslow's Syllabus was in use at Cambridge 
for only a few years.

HENWOOD, William Jory. (BORN: Perron Wharf, 
Cornwall, England, 16 January 1805; DIED: 5 August 
1875) English mining expert. 

English mineralogist and mining expert. From 1832 
to 1838, Henwood was the supervisor of tin production in 
Cornwall. He then became a consulting engineer until 1843 
when he took charge of the Gongo-Soco mines in Brazil. He 
reported to the Indian government on the potential metal 
production of Kumaon and Gurhwal in 1855. In the late 
1860's he retired to Cornwall and became in 1869 President 
of the Royal Institution of Cornwall. He was elected Fellow 
of both the Royal Society (1840) and the Geological Society 
(1828); from the later he received the Muchison Medal in 
1874. A hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum named

SCARCE. This is perhaps the first modern attempt 
to correlate the entire world's metalloferous deposits 
against one another in order to develop relationships 
and similarities with their mineralization and internal 
structure. Contained in the text are descriptions 
of many of the major world-wide mineral resources 
of the time, all examined by the author during his 
distinguished career. The text is then divided into two 
major parts. The first provides descriptions of mineral 
resources in North- Western India, Kumanon, Guhwal, 
Bengal, Chili, including Chañarcillo &õ Copiapò, Brazil, 
especially Minas Geraës, North America, including 
Virginia, Michigan and New Brunswick, Jamaica, 
Spain, France, The Channel Islands, Ireland, and Great 
Britain, especially Perthshire and Cornwall. The second 
portion of the work describes the author's meticulous 
records on the water temperatures of mines described 
in the first part. Many folding plates and tables 
at the end of the second section illustrate methods 
of ore production and cross-sections of various mines 
described in part one.

HERBALS. 

See also: Arbolayre (or Grant Herbier). 

In a descriptive bibliography of mineralogy, it would seem 
that the merits of the early herbals would seem limited, but 
the facts are quite different. As a group, this type of book 
records the late medieval view of the natural world in terms 
of how nature could be used to benefit man. Relationships 
and the uses of plants, animals and minerals discussed 
in these texts offers insight into the early development of 
medicine, agriculture and pharmaceutical therapies for the 
common person. In short, the herbals retain their relevancy 
to early mineral studies. 

The early printed herbals are among the most 
remarkable of the stream of books printed in the incunabula 
period because they are milestones in the history of printing 
and scientific illustration. Although the name implies a 
strictly botanical treatise, this class of book refers to a 
practical medical text intended for both physicians and the 
common folk. It appeared in reaction against the expensive 
apothecary, calling attention to a wide range of easily 
available natural remedies derived from plants, animals and 
minerals. In their time, these volumes were a very popular 
technical literature, and regularly relied upon by their 
readers to provide cures for various ailments. However, 
because of this career, many copies of these volumes were 
destroyed, and the long history of the survivors is reflected 
in their usually sad condition. 

The beauty, rarity and inaccessibility of the herbals 
has both spurred and stymied bibliographical research, 
and caused much in the way of publication. As a result 
errors in the literature have been introduced or permitted 
to stand. Besides elucidating the mineralogical content 
of these books, the purpose of this study is to hopefully 
unravel the bibliographical knot of the herbals. 

Most of the information related to the herbals has 
occurred due to bibliographical scholarship in botany. 
However, a perplexing problem in this field is the confusion 
over the various titles by which the early herbals are 
known. For the current study, the system proposed by 
Arnold Klebs in his description of the Becher collection 
is used. Klebs assigns priority to the 1484 printing by 
Schoeffer of the Herbarius, which contains 150 illustrated 
chapters. All subsequent appearances of this work will 
incorporate as a compiler's comment the word HERBARIUS 
at the beginning of the title. Schoeffer's second herbal

History 



Herbals: Herbarius Latinus 



comprising 435 chapters, was published at Mainz in 1485 
and was termed Der Gart by Klebs but in this study is 
referred to as GART. This designation will appear at the 
beginning of each appropriate title. The final member of 
the herbal triad consists of 1,066 chapters and is referred 
to by the descriptor HORTUS. In the past, these three 
distinct families have been bibliographically confused, with 
some researchers stating that they are translations of each 
other, which is not possible. By relying on the number of 
chapters within the text, 150, 435 and 1,066 respectively, it 
is possible to untangle the bibliographies of the Herbarius, 
Gart and Hortus.

Editio PRINCEPS. Very rare. This is the first 
herbal printed in Germany, from the shop of Peter 



Schoeffer [see note below], one of the first printers, 
which issued from his press at Mainz in 1484. Herbals 
were so called because they described medical remedies 
derived chiefly, but not solely, from herbs and plants, 
which were then the major source of medicines. As 
is shown by it rapid transmission through original and 
pirated editions, Schoeffer's Herbarius rapidly became 
one of the most popular and useful handbooks for 
the general public and medical communities. The 
woodcut illustrations of plants helped to sustain it 
popularity, and these pictures were copied and recopied 
in subsequent editions. 

The Herbarius shows every sign of being a 
compilation rather than an original work, for it quotes 
material drawn from classical, Arabic, and medieval 
sources, none of which appeared later than a century 
before the Herbarius was printed. No manuscript of 
it has been discovered as yet, and the original source 
of its illustrations remains unidentified. However, the 
plant species described are all found in central-northern 
Europe, which perhaps points to a Germanic source 
of the text. Schoeffer probably discovered an older 
manuscript which he cornmited to the press. 

The text of the book is divided into seven 
parts: (1) De virtutibus herbarum, which is the major 
portion describes 150 German herbs and plants in 
brief chapters, each illustrated by a woodcut, (2) De 
sirnplicibus laxativis et lenitivis, provides information 
on 12 simple laxatives, (3) De sirnplicibus comfortativis, 
describes in 16 chapters various spices, (4) De fructibus 
et serninibus et radicibus, 22 chapters on fruits and 
nuts (5) De gummis et eis similibus, 10 chapters on 
gums, (6) De generibus salis et mineris et lapidibus, 
16 chapters on minerals, stones and salts, including 
alum, silver, coral, lapis lazuli, sulphur, tartar, and 
(7) De animalibus et provenientibus ab eis, in 20 
capters describes pharmacological products derived 
from various animals. 

The first edition of the Herbarius exists in several 
variations, none of which constitutes a separate edition, 
but rather each reflects a condition that occurred during 
the printing of the book. For convenience they are 
listed as Al, A2, A3, Bl, B2, and B3. Al has the 
title on its first leaf, printed in red or black, and 
also bears the date of 1484 and Schoeffer's device. 
A2 transposes the woodcuts for chapters 42 and 48 
(Cuscuta and Cannabis), and misnumbers chapter 75 
as 73. A3 corrects the misnumbering but allows the 
exchanged illustrations to remain uncorrected. Bl 
has its first leaf blank (i.e., no title page), B2 places 
the woodcuts for chapters 42 and 48 in their proper 
positions, but misnumbers 75 as 73, and B3 corrects the 
misnumbering, but retains the transposed illustrations 
in chapters 42 and 48. 

Johann von Cube. (BoRN: ; DIED: Franckfurt

Dronnecke (or Wonnecke) von Caub or Cuba) lived at the

city physician. For centuries, he was considered the author 
behind the Herbarius (1484), but more recent research 
shows that he was at most an editor. 

Peter Schoeffer. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German printer. 
Schoeffer started as a calligrapher in Paris before coming 
to Mainz where he served as foreman in Guttenburg's shop. 
After Johann Fust repossessed Gutenburg's equipment in 
1455/56 he employed Schoeffer to do the printing as well 
as produce type for it. Later, Schoeffer married Fust's 
daughter and ultimately inherited the business.

Extremely RARE. A short time after Schoeffer's 
Herbarius appeared in 1484, the printers Johann and 
Conrad Hist [see notes below] issued a pirated edition 
of the book from their press at Speya. While the 
arrangement of the material and the text is identical to 
Schoeffer's work, the woodcut illustrations for the most 
part are reverse the direction of the original work — 
a necessecary consequence of tracing the unreveresed 
originals into the cutter's block. The woodcuts in this 
Hist edition of the Herbarius also show a bit more 
artistic flare in their execution. 

Of the many editions of the Herbarius the one 
printed by the Hist brothers is probably the rarest, and 
it is among the rarest of all printed herbals. In late 
1484, a short while after it was printed, the printing 
activities of the Hist brothers were interrupted, and 
they made no further use of the Herbarius type until 
1489. Consequently, eventhough this edition bears no 
printed date, its year is firmly fixed at 1484, but after 
the publication of Schoeffer's edition. 

Conrad Hist. (BORN: ; DIED: 1531) German printer. 

and Johann Hist (BORN: ; DIED: before 1492), brothers 

and German printers.

differing primarily in some of the German synonyms 
due to local differences in dialect and to the fact the 
many illustrations are mirror images of the originals.

first of several editions of the herbal to issue from his

press. 

The woodcut illustrations are generally the same 
as those in the Mainz edition, but they are slightly 
different and usually reveresed. Two plants (nos. 28 
and 30) have different numbers than those in either the 
Mainz 1484 or the Passau 1486 editions. In some copies 
of this edition woodcut numbers 96 and 148 are printed 
upside down. 

Johann Petri. (BORN: 1441; DIED: 1512) German 

printer. The earliest work bearing a date with which Petri 
has been connected is the Herbari us of 1485, the latest a 
Calendar for 1493.

VERY RARE. Veldener 's Latin edition of the 
Herbarius. Earlier bibliographies considered this 

edition to have been published before Schoeffer'sherbal. 
However, Veldener printed this edition after having 
issued at Kuilenburg a Dutch translation dated 1484. 
He returned later that year to Louvain and issued this 
Latin edition for the academic market of the town. 
Therefore, it is probably later than Schoeffer's edition. 

Klebs/Becher: "The figures, except one, are all 
the same as in the Mainz edition, but generally reversed; 
plant 2 (Abrotanum) is from a different drawing. 
Generally, Veldener's woodcuts have a little more work 
in the way of crossed lines." The text is identical with 
Schoeffer's edition except that the German names of 
plants have been replaced with Netherlandish names.

InCIPIT TrATATUS DE UIRTUTIBUS HER.BARUM, 1491 

Herbarius to be printed in Italy, which is why the 
German synonyms have been omitted. It was printed 
by Leonardus Achates and Guilielmus de Papia [see 
notes below]. The woodcuts of the plants have been 
influenced by the the design of the German cuts, but 
in this edition they are newly executed with somewhat 
finer detail. The text and arrangement are identical to 
Schoeffer's edition, but without the German synoyms. 

Although new to this work, the title woodcut 
of two figures was used the year before in an edition 
of Piero Crescentio's Opus Raralium Commodorum to 
represent Crescentio preparing the book for his patron 
Charles of Anjou. In the present work, the cut is used 
to represent Arnoldus de Villa Nova discussing botany 
with Avicenna. The omission of the woodcut figures in 
subsequent editions where the names of Arnoldus and 
Avicenna were retained in type in their present location 
led to false idea of authorship of this work by Arnoldus. 

The numbers to the woodcuts 113 and 119 are 
exchanged by misprint. 

Leonardus Achates. (BORN: ; DIED: 1491) Italian 

printer. Achates was the first printer in Vicenza. 

Guilielmus De Papia. (BORN: ; DIED: ) Italian 

printer.

D. Villi, die. xv. march. Page SIZE: 210 x 150 mm. 

Rare. This is the third edition of the 'Herbarius 
Latinus' printed by Johannes and Bernarinus Rubeus 
in Venice, and the fourth printed in Italy. With two 
exceptions, these are the blocks cut for the 1491 Vicenza 
edition, which were transferred to Venice and used by 
Simone Bevilacqua for his 1499 edition; two of the 
blocks are copies of the originals, with one reversed. 
The blocks were used again for the 1502 Giunta edition, 
which the above is a page-for-page reprint of. The 
preface attributes the work to Arnoldus de Villanova, 
as does the 1502 edition, which was copying an error in 
the text of the 1499. 

Despite the fact that the 'Herbarius' originated in 
Germany, it 'sold as well in Italy, as it did in Germany, 
if not better. There its second section may have 
contributed to its success, for it was concerned with 
materials of medicine that were commonly available 
in the shops of apothecaries and spice merchants... 
The second section has 96 chapters, though many of 
them are very brief. They deal with the following: 
laxatives; aromatice, fruits, seed, and plants of garden 
and orchard; gums and resins; salts; minerals and 
stones; and a variety of animals and their products, such 
as goose-grease, cheese, honey, and ivory" (Anderson, 
An illustrated history of the herbals p. 86). The 
Italian woodcuts are based on the German'Herbarius' 
cuts 'but all are newly designed, being finer in execution 
and the lines more delicate, and for the greater part 
quite different' (Klebs). Nissen considered them more 
delicate and Arber 'more ambitious... and, on the 
whole... more naturalistic' (Herbals p. 192).

RARE. Second edition of the Italian translation. The 
order of the herbs is slightly different than the 1522 edition. 
Two additional chapters are present: Mele (Honey) and 
Vino e aceto. The illustrations for these additions (one 
representing two tree trunks with bees, the other a wine 
cellar with casks) are not copied from any edition of the 
Herbarius, but are copied from the Latin Hortus Sanitatis. 
The title woodcut is probably printed here for the first time 
and copies of it appear in the later Herbolario editions. 
Essling reproduces two variants of this cut with the two 
medical saints (2, p. 462) from later editions of the Italian 
translation (1536 and 1539).

Schoeffer], 28 March 1485. 

2°: 1-43 8 44-45 4 46 8 (unsigned; 46/8 blank); 
360£.; no pagination, foliation or signiature marks. 
Capital spaces. Full-page woodcut on the verso of the

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. The second 
herbal to be printed by Peter Schoeffer came from 
his press at Mainz on the 28th of March, 1485. It 
immediately eclipsed all previous works of a similar 
nature, and formed the foundation for all herbals that 
followed it. Although it bore no title page, Der Gart was 
clearly and definitively named by Schoeffer in the book's 
own foreword. There it was called Ortus Sanitatis 
and its German equivalent, Gart der Gesuntheyt, the 
Garden of Good Health. Despite that fact, cataloguers

Herbals: Gart der Gesundheit 



and bibliographers, for nonsensical reasons best left to 
them to explain, decided to call the work variously 
Herbarius zu Teutsch, Hortus Sanitatis Germanice, 
and the Smaller Hortus or Hortus Minor. None of 
that identified the book properly, but it did succeed 
in confusing three entirely separate publications, 
Schöffer's Herbarius and Gart der Gesuntheyt, and 
Meydenbach's Hortus Sanitatis of 1491. The works 
held 150, 435, and 1066 chapters respectively, so it 
is impossible to understand how anyone could fail to 
distinguish them. Nothing, however, is beyond the 
powers of the cloistered specialists. It was not until 
1925, when Arnold Klebs established the system of 
referring to the books as the Herbarius, Der Gart, and 
the Hortus, that the tangle was resolved. The sad 
fact remains, though, that not all libraries have taken 
Klebs's advice even as yet. 

The 435 chapters of Der Gart are written in 
the dialect of southern Germany, 368 of them dealing 
with plants of medicinal value; and eleven with animal 
substances. Each of those is illustrated with a woodcut 
picturing its subject, and the majority are highly 
identifiable, well drawn, and artistically executed. 
Understandably the cuts of material outside the artists' 
direct experience are either poorly done or fictitious. 
That was a consequence of their arrival in Europe, 
from distant parts of Asia and Africa, in dry, shrunken, 
broken, or powdered condition. Some fifty-six chapters 
were left unillustrated since their commonly known 
substances, such as cheese, water, flour or lead, did not 
seem to call for picturization. Among them are four 
liquids, fourteen items of animal origin, fifteen plant 
drugs and products, and twenty-three minerals. 

The artist responsible for the designs remains 
unknown, although the name of Erhard Reuwich, or his 
studio, is most often put forward on stylistic grounds. 
That remains debatable in the absence of any contract 
or other record. The same anonymity attaches to the 
text, which is obviously a compilation, and of which 
no original manuscript exists. There are, however, 
some signs of a single guiding editorial intelligence 
in the consistency of stylistic mannerisms and certain 
practices. For instance, none of the extracts from 
earlier works, save for direct quotations, have been 
allowed to stand in a raw, unrevised state. There is 
also evidence of cleverly concealed padding through the 
use of rare synonyms to disguise repeated matter; for 
example, Tormentill also appears as Filia, and Manna as 
Tereniabin. These appear to be a deliberate contrivance 
since more common synonyms, but easily recognizable 
ones, were available. The name of one physician who 
would have been familiar with such terms actually 
appears in Chapter 76, on Armenian bole, as Master 
Johan van Cube. This has been thought to refer to one 
of Schöffer's associates, Johann Wonnecke van Caub, 
Town Physician of Frankfurt, site of Schöffer's home. 
No record exists, however, that substantiates such an 
identification. 

In the meantime, while Der Gart's mysteries may 
persist, the work remains a masterpiece, and is the 



earliest printed monument of scientific illustration.

VERY RARE. Second edition of Der Gart and the 
first issued by Schönsperger. It is a rapidly prepared 
reprint (within 5 months) of Schoeffer's first edition 
dated March 28 of the same year. The speed with 
which the original was pirated is a testament to the 
efficiency of an early press and indicates that several

compositors must have been employed on the project. 
However, because Schönsperger at the time only had 
access to a large type, the book increased from 369 
leaves, instead of Schoeffer's 359. In time Schönsperger 
became the most productive of the early printer of 
Herbals, with eight or nine different editions coming 
from his press between 1485 and 1499, or more than 
half of the German editions published that century. 

The woodcuts are copies of Schoeffer's originals, 
mostly reveresed and somewhat smaller. Choulant 
believes these illustrations to be of better quality than 
Schoeffers. The full-page woodcut on the verso of the 
first leave is an almost exact copy of the Mainz edition 
but with the shield at the top containing a pine-cone, 
the arms of Augsburg. 

Johann Schönsperger. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German 

printer. Schönsperger 's earliest dated book is 1 September 
1481, and he continued to print into the sixteenth century.

Gart der Gesundheit, 1486 (Augsburg) 



2201. German, 1486 [5 June]. 

[Gart] Der Gart der Gesundheit 



Augsburg, 



Johann Schönsperger, 5 June 1486. 

2°: a-i 8 k-t 6 v-z 8 A-D 8 E 6 F 8 G-H 6 I 7 (17 blank); 
258/.; no pagination or foliation. Two column, Gothic 
letter, 42 lines, with full-page woodcut on the verso of 
the first leaf (three sitting savants with two attendants 
in a chemist's shop, behind them an apprentice with a 
mortar), a smaller cut (a physician with a urine flask 
and a women), and 394 other text woodcuts of plants 
and animals. 

VERY RARE. This is Schönsperger's second 
printing of Der Gart, and has substantial differences 
from the first, which was simply a copy of the original 
Schoeffer edition. Here the format has been completely 
changed by reducing the size of the illustrations to fit 
onto double-columned pages. That practice not only 
effected a saving in paper costs, but also resulted in a 
book of a much handier size. So successful was this 
adaptation that Schönsperger issued it eight times in 
all between 1486 and 1502. 

Ten new woodcuts were added to the book, and 
one, Bone from a Deer's Heart, was redesigned, while 
both the frontispiece and the heading for the Book of 
Urines were altered, the latter only slightly. In the case 
of the frontispiece Schönsperger reduced the number of 
physicians shown to only five, and placed them inside 
an apothecary's shop where an assistant was preparing 
herbs, rather than in the garden setting that they had 
originally inhabited. 

The woodcuts of this edition possess a high degree 
of artistry and some features of note. The appearance 
of silver, for instance, has been cleverly counterfeited 
by the use of powdered tin, and is still untarnished 
after nearly 500 years. And in the image of the 
gourd, Cucurbit, the typical white flower is portrayed 
accurately by reserving a blank space for it against a 
green leaf, a detail that demonstrates to perfection the 
quality of medieval craftsmanship.

VERY RARE. Schoeffer's Der Gart inspired a 
second plagiarism of the original with the issuance of 
Johann Grüninger's edition at Strassburg. Although it 
bears no date it is virtually certain that it was published 
in 1486 and almost at the same time as the Augsburg 
version by Schonsperger. Because of the date's 

omission, controversy about priority of publication 
between these two plagiarisms has continued to the 
present. Since Schodgsperger had already issued 
an exact copy of Der Gart in 1485 it is entirely 
possible that his previous familiarity with the work 
gave him a slight edge in beating out Griininger to the 
bookstalls. As Arnold Klebs, the noted bibliographer, 
has stated elsewhere, the notion of a more economical 
format may very well have occurred to both printers 
simultaneously out of the natural logic flowing from 
their own experience. But only one observation can 
be made with certainty, namely, that while both copied 
Schoeffer neither copied the original cuts of each other. 

Griininger added only five woodcuts of his own, 
and eliminated but one physician from his adaptation 
of the frontispiece. What is more, some of his chapter 
headings are left blank although model illustrations 
for them were already available. Despite its slightly 
restricted repertoire of im- ages this edition served as 
the model for Conrad Dinckmut's publication in 1487, 
and later for that of Michael Furter at Bash, с 1490. 
Through this latter work it influenced the pictorial style 
of the famous French herbal, Arboiayre, later called he 
Grant Herbier, and also its English translation, The 
Grete Her ball. 

Only one copy of the original edition is known 
in the United States, and there is no record of any 
having received contemporary coloring. Yet despite the 
extreme rarity of the Griininger original its use by other 
printers has made its woodcuts the most familiar and 
widely distributed among the early herbals before those 
of Brunfels and Fuchs in the sixteenth century. 

Johann (Reinhard) Griininger. (BORN: ; 

DIED: Strassburg, Alsace, France, 1529?) German printer. 
Grüninger's earliest dated book is the Petrus Comestor's 
Historia Scholastica, completed 28 August 1483.

Furter about 1486/1487. 

2 o : 224 leaves (the last blank). Two columns, 
Gothic letter, 43-44 lines, with full-page woodcut 
(assembly of 12 physicians, three sitting and nine 
standing), smaller cut of physician and a woman, and 
hundreds of text cuts of plants, animals, etc. Floreated 
initial letters. 

VERY RARE. The only herbal to be printed in 
Switzerland before 1500 and is nearly an exact reprint 
of Grüninger's edition of 1485/1486, showing only slight 
variations of orthography. The cuts with chapter 
numbers are printed from Grüninger's woodblocks. The 
full-page woodcut is reversed from Grüninger's edition 
while the heraldic shield is left blank. Furter adds 
for the first time floreated woodcut initials, white on 
black, to most of the chapters. There exists some 
connection between between this edition and the first 
French herbal (Arboiayre, Besançon, Metlinger) where 
the same woodcuts and initials are used.

VERY RARE. The only herbal edition printed by 
Conrad Dinckmut [see note below]. The woodcuts 
have a resemblance to the corresponing ones in 
the Griininger's edition. Klebs/Becher believes the 
Grüninger edition to be earlier than Dinckmut's edition 
because the woodcuts in the later are cruder and 
appear to have copied from the former and not vice 
versa. Dinckmut's edition contains also five woodcuts 
to chapters 37, 50, 142-144 which appear already in 
Griininger's edition but are not found in Schoeffer's 
herbal. Of these chapters, Schönsperger illustrated only 
chapter 37, 50 and 143, but with cuts different from 
Griininger's edition. 

The full-page woodcut is likewise copied from the 
one in Griininger's edition, reveresed and with slight 
differences, the shield for instance is not blank, but 
contains the arms of Ulm. Eight woodcuts (to chapters 
38-40, 42, 44, 48-49, and 81) have no corresponding 
ones in either the Schoeffer or Grüninger editions, and 
are instead copied from Schönsperger. 

Dinckmut's books are all very rare and in great 
demand by collectors. 

Conrad Dinckmut. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German 

printer. Dinckmut seems to have begun his career as a 
printer around 1482, when he produced at least four books, 
but he is listed as a 'Buchdrucker' in the Ulm rate- lists of 
1476, and a calendar for 1478, which is in his type and 
presumed to have been printed by him. He continued to 
print at Ulm through 1496. He left the city in 1499.

vessel), and many smaller text cuts of plants and genre 
pictures. [Part 2: 1509] 2°: a-o 6 A-O 6 (Об blank); 
174^.; no pagination or foliation. Two columns, Gothic 
letter, with three large woodcuts (1/2: patient in bed

skeleton), over 500 smaller text cuts of animasl, fishes, 
birds and precious stones. Four of these smaller cuts 
are on the title page. 

VERY RARE. A compilation of the German Gart 
with parts of the Latin Hortus Sanitatis translated into 
German. The first part is a reprint of the German Gart 
der Gesundheit. The second part is the first German 
translation of the Latin Hortus Sanitatis, comprising

and precious stones. The portion on the plants is not 
translated as that material is covered in the first part. 
The greater part of the smaller woodcuts are derived

Reynmann, 1508. 

2°: 240 leaves (the last blank). Gothic letter, 
with large woodcut on the title page (apothecary and 
physician in a chemist's shop), two full-page woodcuts 
(magister and four pupils; three savants in a pharmacy, 
attended by two others, behind them an apprentice), 
very many woodcuts of plants, animals, precious stones 
in the text. Initial letter at the beginning. 

VERY RARE. Only a few copies of this edition 
are known. It is printed by Hanns Otmar [see note 
below] and is a reprint of the preceding editions 
of Schönsperger, 1496 and 1499, with only the 
orthography showing variations. Otmar has used 
the same page make-up and the same woodcuts and 
types as Schönsperger. However, by introducing 
broader columns, he reduces the contents to 239 
leaves. A curious woodcut at the end shows Christ (or 
Godfather?) with the holy lamb, and the convocation 
of the Last Judgement. (Klebs/Becher) 

Hanns Otmar. (BORN: Reutlingen, Germany, ; 

DIED: Augsburg, Germany?, ) German printer. 

Between 1479 and 1501, Otrnar printed many books at 
Reutlingen and Tübingen, but in 1501 reestablished himself 
in Augsburg, where he published his first title from this, his 
third press, in 1502.

ones to replace lost wood blocks.

Low German Dialect editions 

2223. German, 1492 [Low German Dialect]. 

[Gart] Gaerde der suntheit ... Lübeck, Steffen 
Arndes, 1492. 

2°: 324 leaves, 41 lines, with a full page woodcut 
on leaf 305 (a physician holding a urine flask against 
the sun, to the right a male cripple with hamper), and 
519 text woodcuts of plants, animals, precious stones, 
etc. Woodcut initial letters. 

VERY RARE. Printed by Steffen Arndes [see note 
below], this is a remarkable herbal for several reasons: it 
is among the earliest and most extensive of books to be 
printed in the Low German dialect, it possesses splendid 
initial letters in ornamental Gothic style, and it blends 
the texts from Schoeffer's Der Gart and Meydenbach's 
Hortus Sanitatis. 

About two-thirds of the work is drawn from Der 
Gart, and the remainder from the Hortus Sanitatis. It 
is a Low German version of Schoeffer's original text, 
greatly augmented by translations added from the Latin 
Hortus. The "van den edelen stenen" (de lapidibus), 
with 146 chapters has been adapted from Meydenbach's 
Hortus and 107 new chapters on vegetable and animal 
subjects have been added to the main part, making a 
total of 688 chapters (except the tract on uroscopy). 
Thus, this is the edition with the greatest number of 
plant descriptions. However, the order of the text and 
the placement of the images differ considerably from 
both of its sources. There are numerous duplications 
of individual chapters, and frequent use of uncommon 
or exotic synonyms to conceal the padding, a fairly 
common practice at the time. In general its illustrations 
are of a high caliber, sometimes improving upon the 
originals, yet not quite equal to Schreiber's claim that 
they "surpass by far all the High German editions." 
370 of the text cuts are exact copies of Schoeffer's 
illustrations, while other illustrations are derived from 
Meydenbach's Hortus. 

Klebs/Becher: "The translation of the whole work 
including that of the Latin tract on precious stones, 
is very exact, sometimes two Low German names are 
added to the Latin names of herbs; the aspect of the 
compilation is very harmonious, indeed." 

Steffen Arndes. (BORN: Mayence, Germany, ; 

DIED: Lübeck, Germany, 1519) German printer. Arndes was 
the greatest of the Low German printers, having published 
in 1494 the famous Lübeck bible. He began his printing

[ornaments] | [Four small woodcuts arranged in a 
square with woocut pieces on either side forming a 
border]. 

2°: [6], CXC (i.e., CLXXXV), [19]f. Gothic 
letter. Four small woodcuts on the title page arranged 
in a square within two vertical borders. One full-page 
woodcut (human skeleton after Griininger's cut) and 
over 400 text woodcuts (several repeated) of plants, 
animals, genre pictures. Initial letters. 

SCARCE. Third edition of the Dutch translation of 
the Gart; the first printed by Claes de Grave. Many of 
the woodcuts are copied and reduced from the Latin 
Hortus Sa.nta.tis, especially Priiss' edition. The cuts 
of the genre pictures are somewhat finer in detail 
than their models. (Klebs/Becher) The Dutch version 
contains an additional treatise Cautelen attributed to 
Arnaud de Villeneuve.

Herbals: Hortus Sanitatis 



cut of a human skeleton, and over 450 text woodcuts of 
plants, animals, etc. 

VERY RARE. The only herbal edition printed by 
Jan Bernts, and especially interesting for the numerous 
splendid illustrations. The title woodcut and the cuts 
of the plants are mostly printed from blocks used 
formerly in the Grete Herball (London, 1526). This 
interesting fact explains why the 1539 edition of the 
Grete Herball was published without illustrations, the 
old block having been secured by Brent for this Ultrecht 
edition. Besides the cuts of plants, etc. that are printed 
here with nice borders along the vertical sides, this 
edition contains a large number of new illustrations, 
executed by artists of merit.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. Printed 
by Jacob Meydenbach [see note below] as his first 
book, the Hortus Sanitatis, completed June 23, 1491, 
provided a most glorious sunset for the incunabula 
herbal, outdoing all previous works of its time in the 
scope of its concept and setting the standard for the 
future. It contained 1,066 chapters, each with its 
own woodcut depiction, placing it among the most 
extensively illustrated books of its time, and one of 
the finest illustrated works of this early period. It is 
a descendent of the Herbarius and Der Gart in both its 
text and illustrations but it is also a wholly independent 
work. 

The text is divided into the following sections: 
(1) Prohemium, being a translation of the preface to 
Der Gart, (2) Tractatus de Herbis consisting of 530 
chapters describing medicaments of plant origin, (3) a 
treatise on land animals in 164 chapters, (4) a treatise 
on birds in 122 chapters, (5) a treatise on fishes in 106 
chapters, (6) a treatise on stones and minerals in 144 
chapters, and (7) a treatise on urines. Following are a 
long therapeutical index of diseases refered to in each 
division of the book, and an alphabetical index to each 
part. It concludes with an epilogue by the printer, in 
which he claims credit for producing this book and 
for the city of Mainz the credit of the invention of 
printing. In essence this volume was a medieval natural 
history, but one that mingled medicine with folklore, 
and from its pages can be reconstructed both the state 
of knowledge and the spirit of its age. 

Since it was published in 1491, this was the last 
large European work of natural history to predate 
the discovery of the New World, thus it provides a 
clear historical time capsule. In some measure the 
text obscures its wealth of detail by retaining the 
contractions used by scribes of the manuscript era in 
its typography. Moreover, there are frequent examples 
of padding by the book's compiler, who hides his 
duplications under rare and unusual synonyms drawn 
from Greek and Arabic sources. That practice creates 
still further problems in that there are misspellings, as 
well as mistranscribed manuscript material, sometimes 
beyond any clarification. But despite its flaws the 
Hortus Sanitatis contains a record of unique value, and 
a charm that has not dimmed in over 500 years. 

The 7 full page woodcuts are: (1) three sitting

savants and six attendents, (2) three savants and eight 
different animals, (3) two men and several birds, (4) two 
men and fishes, (5) jeweller's shop with 12 persons, (6) 
apothecary's shop with nine persons, (7) two physicians 
and six patients. These as well as the hundreds of text 
cuts were executed in the maner of the Master of the 
Ulm Aesop, another illustrated work of the period. 

Jacob Meydenbach. (BORN: cl444; DIED: Mainz, 

Germany?, after 1495) German printer. Jacob Meydenbach 
is assumed to be the son of one Johann Meydenbach 
who is recorded by Sebastian Münster to have moved 
with Gutenberg from Strasbourg to Mainz and formed 
a partnership with the later and Fust. Four items, 
dated 1491, 1492 and 1495 are known to be from Jacob 
Meydenbach's press, as well as four undated items, 
including an edition of Der Totentanz (=Dance of Death).

RARE. This is the first of Prüss' [see note below] 
reprints of Meydenbach's Hortus. By increasing the 
number of lines in each column and going to a smaller 
type Prüss reduced the size of the book from 454 to 
360 leaves. It is apparently this edition, rather than 
Meydenbach's original that seems to be the model for 
the subsequent Latin editions and translations into 
other languages. The "Tractatus de animalibus" and 
"Tractatus de urinis" have divisional title-pages with 
full-page woodcuts on verso; these woodcuts also appear 
in Gruninger's edition of Hieronymus Brunschwig's 
Cirurgia (Strasbourg, 4 July 1497). Illustrated with 3 
full-page and 1,061 smaller woodcuts in text, modelled 
after those in the first ed. (Mainz, J. Meydenbach, 23 
June 1491). 

Prüss was the publisher who really profited from 
the Latin Hortus (Meydenbach never issued subsequent 
editions). He produced his editions with economy of 
paper by printing in a small type in 55 lines. Instead 
of the seven full-page woodcuts used in Meydenbach's 
edition, Prüss only includes three, the first and third 
taken from Brunschwig's Cirurgia, the second (the 
human skeleton) from Brunschwig's Anatomia. He 
also copies the textcuts from Meydenbach, but some of 
them are repeated, as if similar figures were involved. 
Of the new cuts, "The most interesting of the genre 
pictures (especially those to the parts of zoology 
and mineralogy), for the draughtsman worked on 
these more individually with regard to the costumes, 
which represent those in use in Alsace at that time." 
(Klebs/Becher). 

There are three find full page woodcuts: (1) 
magister sitting at his desk, with students, (2) human 
skeleton, (3) apothecary sitting in his shop and 
physician. The depicition of the skeleton appears here 
for the first time in an edition of the herbals. It was used 
repeatedly in almost all the subsequent herbal editions 
issued in Latin, French and some German editions upto 
about 1540.

Two columns, Gothic letter, 54-55 lines. 

Rare. Probably the second edition of Priiss' 
reprint of Meydenbach's Hortus, which shows only a few 
slight variations to his first reprint edition (see previous 
entry). Although identical, the woodcuts are sometimes 
not as fresh as those used in the earlier edition.

2°: 360^. Two columns, 56 lines per page in 
Gothic character. 

Rare. Third edition of Priiss, being an almost 
exact reprint of his prior editions, with only slight 
variations in the text arrangement. The block of the 
large woodcut (apothecary and physician) is reduced 
in hight in this edition. Before the second part (the 
tract on animals, etc.) appear four cuts, each with 
special headings arranged in a rectangle. Before the 
tract on the urine, there is a new woodcut of a patient 
in bed with three attending physicians, taken from 
Brunschwig's Ciurgia. Otherwise, the text figures 
appear to come from the same blocks as the preceding 
editions. Choulant believes this edition to be different 
than that quoted by Hain 8943. 

The four full page woodcuts consist of: (1/2) 
apothecary sitting, and physician (repeated), (3) 
human skeleton, (4) patient in bed, and three attending 
physicians.

Rare. Printed in Venice, by BernardinusBenalius 
and Joannes Tacuinus de Cereto de Tridino in 1511. 
The first reprint of the Latin Hortus in Italy, valued 
for its fine woodcuts. The model for this reprint 
was according to Schreiber the Priiss edition of 1509, 
from which most of the cuts were copied. These cuts, 
being reveresed copies show many times considerable 
variations from those in the editionsof 1497-1509. They 
were modified to be more attractive to the Italian 
purchaser of the book. Several of the cuts appear to 
be newly added. 

Two of the full page woodcuts by a Venetian 
master appear here for the first time. Both are 
surrounded by an ornamental border, white on a black 
background. Essling says that the second of these is a 
free copy of a similar image found in Kentham Fascículo 
de Medicina (1493). The image of the skeleton is a 
direct copy from the Priiss edition, as is indicated by 
the inclusion of some German names for the bones, 
eventhough this book was printed in Italy for the Italian 
market. After the tract on urine, there follows a short 
tract from Galen, "Liber de Facile Acquisibilibus," 
translated by Nicolaus de Regio. 

The three full page woodcuts consist of: (1) 
consultation of six physicians, surrounded by a fine 
border, (2) human skeleton, (3) four physicians examine 
urine flasks, with three attendants, surrounded by a fine 
border.

VERY SCARCE. First edition of the Hortus 
produced by Renatus Beck, the successor of Priiss. 
Except for the skeleton cut, all the other full page 
woodcuts are omitted. The text cuts are the same 
as those used by Priiss, and are apparently imprinted 
from Priiss' woodblocks, some retouched, some are 
substituted by others. 

Like the Priiss edition of 1499, after the section on 
plants there follows a leaf with four woodcuts with the 
headline, "Sequuntur alii tractatus" below. However, 
the cut of fishes is substituted by another, very similar 
one. At the start of the urine tract is a new small 
woodcut showing a physician, examining the urine flask 
presented him by a women. The fine title border was 
cut by Urs Graf, and shows naked children and vine.

Rare. Edition not noticed by most of the

the Venice, 1511 edition, with a new title page, printed 
in red and black and dated 1538, and with several other 
variations in the text. The sectional title page to the 
treatise on animals is printed in Roman letter, but in 
the 1511 edition is printed in black letter. The large 
woodcut on the urines is partly changed and reduced. 
Some quires are taken from the 1511 edition, the printer 
apparently still being in possession of a part of the older 
1511 edition. This is shown on the last printed leaf 
where a slip of paper with the 1538 colophon is pasted 
over the original 1511 colophon.

Herbals: Hortus Sanitatis 




Ortvs Sanitatis, 1500 

initials with grotesque human faces throughout. Woodcut 
printer's device on the last leaf. 

VERY RARE. First French edition and the only 
complete translation of the Hortus Sanitatis, printed in Paris 
by Anthoine Vérard [see note below]. It is a magnificent 
monument of early French typography, and one of the finest 
of the Hortus editions, of which only a few examples are 
known. The first volume describes the herbs, the second 
beasts, fishes, and stones, and includes the tract on urine. 
At the end are extensive indexes. 

The fine large woodcuts represent: (1, verso of title 
leaf and repeated on leaf Rlv of the second volume) an 
ecclesiastical person seated in a chair, with several other 
figures, one of them presenting a book, (2, leaf K5v) 
an author presenting his book to King Charles VIII on 
horseback with other persons engaged in flying hawks, 
(3, leaf aaalv) apohtecary's shop, (4, leaf Alv) human 
skeleton. The full page cuts 3 and 4 appear to be 
copied from the original Grüninger cuts, although the text 
illustrations appear to be derived from the second Latin 
edition of the Hortus (assigned to Strassburg, Prüss, not 
after 21 October 1497). 

Anthoine Vérard. (BORN: ; DIED: Paris, 

France, 1513) French illuminator, wood engraver, printer & 
bookseller. Vérard flourished in Paris from about 1485 to 
1512. Scarcely anything is known of his life, other than his 
shop occupied a series of buildings in Parir-, and that he 
illustrated and published a series of works. He is thought 
to have illuminated a Danse Macabre printed on vellum, of 
which only two copies exist.

Gothic letter, 54 lines. Title printed in red and black, 
with a fine woodcut (repeated on the title to the second 
part), large woodcut on the verso of the title leaf, two other 
large woodcuts (1: human skeleton; 2: apothecary's shop), 
over 1,000 smaller text woodcuts of plants, animals, birds, 
precious stones, etc. Woodcut initials. Pritnter's device 
(large initial with head and bird). 

VERY RARE. Second edition of the French translation 
of the Hortus Sanitatis. It contains nearly the same 
illustrations as the Vérard edition. The text cuts reappear 
with few exceptions, printed from the old blocks, also the 
skeleton and the apothecary's shop, borrowed by Vérnard 
from Strassburg. There are also some newly added cuts 
not copied from any German herbal, but probably derived 
from some work on chivalry. (Klebs/Becher)

HERNANDEZ, Francisco. (Born: Near Toledo, 
Spain, cl514; DIED: Madrid, Spain, 1578) Spanish 
physician & naturalist. 

Hernandez studied medicine at the University of 
Alcalß. He was a friend of Vesalius and followed his 
lead in dissecting. One of the early defenders of the 
lesser circulation. In Mexico City he experimented on the 
medicinal properties of the local drugs. He did his best to 
establish a Mexican pharmacology based on local plants. 
His translation of Pliny contains extensive geographical 
commentaries. During his final year in Mexico, he was 
in charge of the battle against the terrible epidemic, 
cocoliztle, that wiped out half of Mexico. He left an 
important clinical study of the disease. Apparently began 
his career as physican to the Duke of Maqueda (near 
Toledo) for a brief time, then practiced several years in 
Seville. 

He occupied the most important medical position 
in Spain at that time, physician of the hospitals of the 
Monastery of Guadalupe. He was probably there in the 
late 60 's. This position was virtually the antechamber to 
the royal chamber. He directed the botanical garden, and 
botanized in the area. Here also his anatomical studies. 
When he returned to Toledo apparently about 1567, he 
was in contact with the court; by about 1568 he became 
physician to the Chamber of the King. 

By order of Philip II, went to Mexico to study the 
flora and fauna, with particular attention to medicinal 
properties, 1570-77. While in Mexico he was protomedico 
for the colony. The two pinnacles of Spanish medicine 
were the royal chamber and the office of protomedico, 
both of which he held (the latter for Mexico). Both 
positions salaried. The expedition to Mexico carried a 
salary of 2,000 ducats. He dedicated the translation (with 
commentary) of Pliny to Philip II; this work was not 
published during his life. When Hernßndez returned to 
Spain, his friends at court were no longer in such influence, 
and Hernßndez was rewarded for his herculean endeavors 
largely by indifference. His great natural history was not 
published as, of course, he had hoped. He left behind 



a revealing memorial to the court and a Latin poem to 
his friend Arias Montano. During his final years he was 
appointed physician to the young prince who became Philip 
III. Hernßndez learned the indian language and translated 
some of his materials into it because he was convinced the 
pharmacological information would be useful to them.

Very scarce. REWORK THIS COMMENTARY 
VERY RARE. This is the first book on plants and 
minerals published in the New World. The translator 
was Francisco Ximenez [1666-cl722]. 

The Quatro Libros was the first milestone after 
the publication of the Index medica-mentorum by 
Barrios was a much more substantial text, based on a 
manuscript of Recchi's selection. The manuscript itself, 
unknown today, had been "signed" by Francisco Valles. 
We now know that it belonged, at least as late as 1609, 
to Barrios. In 1615 fray Francisco Xirnenez saw through 
the press Quatro Libros. De la. naturaleza, y virtudes 
de las plantas, y animales. The text of the Quatro 
Libros is organized into four books, each subdivided into 
sections. The first three books are on aromatice, trees, 
plants, and fruits; herbs with a sharp taste; herbs that 
taste salty or sweet; and herbs that have a bitter taste or 
no taste at all; the fourth hook deals with animals and 
minerals whose derivatives can be used as medicines. 
Two tables list illnesses and remedies (not based on the 
Index medicarnentorum) . Altogether the book contains 
478 chapters translated into Spanish from Hernandez's 
work, with some annotations and additions supplied by 
Ximenez. The stated purpose of this book was to be a 
handbook for use in places where there was no accessible 
pharmacy. 

Until the appearance of the Complutense 
manuscript, it was not always clear where Hernandez 
ended and Ximenez began, because although the editor 
was deferential to the author, he would occasionally add 
a note from his own experience without distinguishing 
it as such. Apart from a frontispiece portrayal of 
Saint Dominic, the book has no illustrations, so that 
identification of plants with confus-ingly similar names 
is sometimes impossible. A lay hos-pital brother who 
arrived in New Spain in 1605, Ximenez worked at some 
time in the Hospital de la Santa Cruz, where he was 
in charge of the hospital's pharmacy. He apparently 
had received no formal medical training, but he did 
write a book, Memoria para la salud, now lost. His 
only tangible contribution to the history of medicine is 
thus his edition of Hernandez. 

The Huntington Library copy of the Quatro 
Libros, which Henry Harrisse bought in Paris in 1871, is 
not only in exceptionally good condition for a handbook 
that was meant to be used frequently: it is also 
annotated. The ink has faded, but the barely legible 
annotations reveal that someone wrote in the margins, 
in Spanish, key words, mostly indicating parts of the 
body that are mentioned in the text. Clearly, the 



annotations were meant to serve as a quick finding aid 
for practical purposes, and so they confirm exactly what 
the book was intended to do. 

We do not know the extent of the print run of 
the Quatro Libros, but it was probably small-perhaps 
a few hundred copies-as most Mexican imprints of its 
time seem to have been. Copies of the Quatro Libros 
have always been rare, especially in Europe, where, as 
we shall see, only one or two copies turned up in the 
seventeenth century. They were promptly put to good 
use.

Very scarce. REWORK THIS ENTRY. Book 
10 (pp. 335-344) of this work concerns minerals. It 
provides a glossary and description with Aztec name 
and a Latin equivalent. There are no illustrations. 

The earliest published version of Hernandez's 
great natural history of Mexico appeared in Spanish 
translation, unillustrated, at Mexico City in 1615. The 
Latin edition, with considerable additions to the text as 
well as numerous illustrations, was prepared in Rome by 
the Accademia dei Lincei and was first printed in 1628, 
but only a few copies had been distributed when its 
patron, Prince Federico Cesi, died, leaving the project 
without funds. Due to the efforts of Francesco Stelluti 
of the Accademia dei Lincei, who succeeded in obtaining 
the patronage of the Spanish ambassador in Rome, 
Don Alfonso Turiano, publication was revived and the 
original sheets were reissued in 1648, 1649 and 1651. 
The present copy is the last of these issues in terms 
of the title-pages; however it retains the three original 
dedications to Cardinal Barberini, which were cancelled 
in some copies, and has in addition the dedication to 
Roderico de Mendoza which was substituted for the 
third of them. There are numerous 'complexities of the 
bibliography and the printing of the Lyncei edition, for 
such it remains ... The compiler has not seen nor heard 
of any two copies which are exactly alike in arrangement 
or in the presence or absence of the name Barberini in 
the dedications' (Arents). 

Hernandez, physician to Philip II of Spain, was 
sent in 1570 to study the flora and fauna of Mexico, 



where he worked until 1577. His researches remained 
unpublished at his death in 1587 and his successor as 
royal physician, Leonardo Recchi, was entrusted with 
the task of examining anew the mass of materials left 
by Hernandez and of preparing a suitable abridgement 
for the press. Recchi in turn died before he was able to 
publish his work, but it is his rendering of Hernandez 
that was used for the 1615 Spanish translation and 
which forms the basis of the Rome edition: 'with 
its brilliant appended treatises, it was here at last 
that Hernandez's work received the recognition that it 
deserved. Though only a small part of all that he had 
written, it is a monument of industry and erudition, the 
more remarkable as being the first on the subject, and 
even today it still holds its place as a book of the highest 
authority. Hernandez was henceforward referred to as 
"the third Pliny"' (Hunt).

This volume consists of a selection of English 
translations from the extensive writings of Dr. Francisco 
Hernandez [1515-1587]. Celebrated in his own day as 
one of Spain's leading physicians and naturalists, he is 
now best remembered for his monumental work on the 
native plants and materia medica of central Mexico. Sent 
to New Spain in 1570 by King Philip II to research 
and describe the natural history of the region, to assess 
the medical usefulness of the natural resources, and 
to gather ethnographic materials for an anthropological 
history, Hernandez was the first trained scientist to 
undertake scientific work in the New World. For seven 
years he gathered information throughout the Valley of 
Mexico, learning Náhuatl, recording local medical customs, 
studying indigenous medicines, and writing down all his 
observations. The result was The Natural History of New 
Spain, written in Latin, which consisted of six folio volumes 
filled with descriptions of over 3,000 plants previously 
unknown in Europe (along with descriptions of a much 
smaller number of animals and minerals) and ten folio 
volumes of paintings by Mexican artists illustrating the 
plants and animals he described.

From 1801 to 1807, Héron de Villefosse was an 
engineer ordinary of mines, then Napoléon appointed him 
General-Inspector of all mines and manufacturing from the 
Rhein to the Weichsel. As such, he moved to Clausthal 
in Austria in 1809. After the restauration he became an 
advisor to the new government in a number of positions. 
In 1816, he was elected to the Academy of Science in Paris.

RARE. The most significant work on the mines 
and the metallurgy at the beginning of the 19th century. 
The first volume describes the mines and the factories 
of Germany and other countries of Europe. The second, 
techniques of exploitation of the mines. The third, 
techniques of ore processing and metallurgy. A very 
large folio Atlas supplements the work. It is illustrated 
by a beautiful engraved title and 65 plates engraved by 
Weiss and Baltard and 3 double-page maps. A great 
number of these plates have extendible and moving 
parts attached. The title page of the atlas says that it 
describes the mineral richness, collection of geognostic 
and industrial facts, noting the current state of art of 
the mines and the factories. The work was begun in 
1810 and lasted for nine years. 

A superbly produced atlas which belongs to Héron 
de Villefosse very scarce work 'De la richesse minérale, 
considérations sur les mines, usines, saline etc. Paris 
1810-1819. The first large double-page map has the 
following title 'Carte des pays entre l'Elbe et le Rhin 
suivant le cours du Weser, indiquant la situation des 
mines, usines, salines, carrières et autres ateliers relatifs 
à la richesse minérale; the second large double plate 
'Carte des montagnes du Hartz (Bergmännische Karte 
vom Harz)', the third large double-plate 'Carte des 
montagnes métallifères qui séparent la Saxe de la 
Bohème (Bergmännische Karte vom Erzgebirge)', the 
other plates show plans of mines, machinery etc.

VERY RARE. Translation by CARL HARMANN of 

De La Richesse Minérale (Paris, 1819). The rare text 
volumes consist of translations of Héron de Villefosse's 
text, together with two volumes of supplements published 
1839-40. According to the register, only 117 copies of this 
translation were ordered in advance. The exceptional atlas 
illustrates the main volumes and provides extraoridnary 
and faithful plates. These renderings show mining 

insturments, profiles of silver mines, mills, crushers, various 
steam engines, mercury distilling furnaces, etc. With the 
supplements 20 additional plates were prepared which are 
almost always missing.

Hessel 

HESSEL, Johann Freidrich Christian. (Born: 
Nuremburg, Germany, 27 April 1796; DIED: Marburg, 
Germany, 3 June 1872) German physician, crystallog- 
rapher & mineralogist. 

Hessel attended the industrial school in Nuremburg, 
before studying science and medicine at Erlangen and 
Würzburg. He received his M.D. in 1817. At the University 
of Munich, he continued his studies and came into contact 
with K.C. VON Leonhard who convinced Hessel to become 
his assistant when the former took a position at the 
University of Heidelberg. There, Hessel developed his 
mineralogical skills, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1821. Then 
he was called to Marburg where he accepted a position as 
associate professor of mineralogy and mining technology. 
In 1825, he was appointed a full professor, a position he 
kept until his death. Over his career he published over 40 
books and papers on a wide range of subjects, but it was 
not until many years after his death that the importance 
of the Kristallometrie [described below] was recognized.

VERY RARE. This is the first separate publication 
of Hessel's proof of the existence of only thirty- 
two symmetry crystal classes, by establishing the 
fact that only two-, three-, four- and sixfold axes 
can occur. Hessel obtained his results from an 
exhaustive physical analysis of the possible types of 
symmetry that any geometrical form might possess. 
It was first published as an article titled "Krystall" 
in Gehler's physikalisches Wörterbuch (Leipzig, 1830). 
Its importance was immediately recognized by Gehler 
[see note below], who arranged its publication as 
a separate work, and added an appendix on the 
formation of crystals. Unfortunately, this attention 
did not gain Hessel's theorem the recognition of his 
contemporaries, and the discovery of this fundamental 
principle of crystal symmetry is generally attributed 



to the elegant mathematical derivation published by 
Auguste Bravais in the mid-1850's, even though 
the forgotten work of MORITZ LUDWIG F RANKEHEIM 
predates both Hessel and Bravais. I 1 ! This is Hessel's 
most important scientific work and priority over 
Bravais was overlooked until Leonhard SOHNCKE drew 
attention to its importance in 1891. [-1

HEULAND, John Henry. (Born: 1778; Died: 
Hastings, Sussex, England, 16 November 1856) English 
mineral collector & dealer. 

Heuland was the nephew of the mineral dealer Jacob 
Forster [see note under Rome de l'Isle], whose collection 
he inherited. Subsequently the collection was sold to 
Charles Hampden Turner, that was later incorporated into 
Henry Ludlam's, now in the Museum of Practical Geology, 
London. Heuland was elected to the Geological Society of

to 1828. The mineral "Heulandite" named for him by H.J. 
Brooke in 1822.

Henry Heuland's influence on mineral collecting in 
19th century England was enormous. His ability 
to bring to market a constant flow of fine mineral 
specimens from all parts of the world prompted 
every major English collector of the time to be 
a regular visitor to his shop. Probably beginning 
in 1808, Heuland held the first of a long series of 
mineral specimen auction sales that would extend 
to the end of his career. All but one of the London 
sales was held in the "Great Rooms" of the auction 
company in King Street, Covent Garden founded 
around 1759 by the bookseller Samuel Paterson. 
These auctions would leave as a legacy a run of very 
rare sale catalogs that described the specimens that 
were for sale. A listing of the known sales is given 
below.

HIÄRNE (Hjärne), Urban. (Born: Skworitz, 
Ingermanland, Sweden, 20 December 1641; DIED: 
Stockholm, Sweden, 22 March 1724) Swedish physician 
& polymath. 

At the age of five, Hiärne began his studies with 
private tutors. He then attended in Nyen what was called 
a trivial school where he studied logic, rhetoric, poetry, 
grammar, Swedish, German, Latin, Greek, Russian and 
music. In 1657 he decided to study at Uppsala, and in 1658 
moved to Stockholm where he was employed as a teacher. 
At this time, Hiärne decided to study medicine at Uppsala. 
To support his University education, he painted portraits, 
and wrote numerous poems and plays, some of which were 
performed. He taught himself chemistry. He completed his 
studies at Uppsala before 1666. He then became personal 
physician to the governor-general of Livland, which enabled 
him to study abroad in Holland, England and France. He 
eventually took his degree in medicine from Angers in 
1670. Three years of study in Paris provided him with a 
good foundation in analytical and experimental chemistry. 
Hiärne was a dedicated Paracelsian, and his work in 
chemistry was directed to supporting Paracelsianism. In 
1674, he settled in Stockholm, where he opened a medical 
practice. For a long time he was Sweden's leading authority 
in medicine, and his practice became very profitable.

VERY RARE. An important contribution to 

mineralogy, which focused the activities of other 
Swedish researchers to the chemical anaylsis of minerals 
and mineral waters. Many subsequent naturalists 
considered this work to be one of the key publications 
setting mineralogy on a chemical foundation. The 
monograph describes the results of various analyses on 
stones and mineral waters that Hjärne performed. For 
example, he notes that carbon dioxide evolves from 
some minerals after treatment with acid. Underlying 
the descriptions is a classification showing elements 
of a traditional type. The author distinguishes seven 
divisions: water, earths, stones, metals, semi- metals, 
salts and sulphurs. Other subdivisions are noted under 
some of these categories including common stones, 
precious stones, figured stones, useful stones, and stones 
derived from animals. 

Contents of the three "editions" above are the 
same, allthough with small differences in spellings here 
and there and to the layout due to the différencies in 
page format. There is a short introduction signed Urban 
Hiärne (4 p. in the 8°, 3 p. in the 4° and 2 p. in the 
folio). "En kort anledning..." is a questionaire in 13 
short chapters, each inquiring into the local existence of 
different parts of the Regnum Minerale such as water, 
landscape, soils, rocks, common stones, useful stones, 
gems etc. sent out to the Swedish provinces by Hiärne. 
Kort Memorial is an abridged reminder of the previous 
since, as it states, "En kort anledning" ... hasn't met 
too much response ... especially not from the clergy. 
The intention was to publish the answers received 
with comments in parts corresponding to each of the 
13 questions/chapters. Two parts (Hiärne used the 
Swedish word flockar - flocks) of these were published, 
Den Korta Anledningen (1702) and Den Beswara.de och 
Förklarade Anledningens (1706), the former treating 
water and the latter about the earth and landscapes 
in general. 

This work was also reprinted in the first 
supplement to FRANZ Er.NST BrÜCKMANN's Magnalia 
Dei in Locis Subterraneis ( Wolff enbüttel, 1734) [which 
see]. [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

HILL, John. (BORN: Peterborough, England, cl707; 
DIED: London, England, 21 November 1775) English 
apthecary & naturalist. 

Hill calling himself "Sir John" on account of his 
knighthood in the Swedish order of Vasa flourished as 
an apothecary and quack doctor in James Street, Covent 
Garden. He conducted the British Magazine from 1746 to 
1750 and contributed articles to various other periodicals. 
He vigorously attacked the Royal Society, which steadfastly 
ignored Hill's scientific contributions. He was a prolific 
author of compilations and translations dealing with 
medicine, botany, horticulture and natural history. His 
most celebrated contribution was The Vegetable System 
(London, 1759-75).

VERY SCARCE. This is the first volume of Hill's 
three volume treatise, A General Natural History, which 
described nature's three realms, i.e., mineral, plant and 
animal. In the present work, A History of Fossils, 
minerals are divided into series, classes, orders, genra 
and the analog of species. They are then described 
according to their behavior in fire and acid, their 
cleavage or lack thereof, their surface texture, and 
their appearance under the microscope. An interesting 
feature of the book arises from the odd naming of the 
various species. Hill invented a unique nomenclature 
that took a mineral's distinguishing properties, and 
recast them into their Greek equivilents to form 
descriptive polysyllabic names, which is very useful if 
one is conversent in Greek. Unfortunately, even in Hill's 
time, the lay public and probably most of the scientific 
community were ignorant of the language, and therefore 
of the author's innovation. As a consequence, the 
valuable contributions this work made to microscopic 
mineral examination and to descriptive mineralogy 
in general had less impact on the science then they 
deserved. 

Occasionally, a very rare copy of Hill's History 
of Fossils is found with the plates hand— colored. A 
note on the back of volume three's title page states, 
"There are a small number printed for the curious on 
Royal Paper; and the cuts of these are colored under the 
immediate inspection of the author." Exercise caution, 
however, when examining such copies because the plates 
may not have been originally colored. Sometimes the 
"faked" volumes can be recognized due to the whimsical 
colorings of the figures, but normally comparision with 
an authenticated copy is necessary.

VERY SCARCE. One of the rarer of the author's 
many publications in which minerals and physical 
properties such as hardness, color, weight, surface 
texture and uses are arranged in a series of tables. 
The large folding diagram outlines the intricate system 
employed to distribute the minerals. The purpose was 
to lay down an arrangement of minerals and fossils 
founded upon their obvious characteristics, such as 
form, hardness, weight, surface, color, localities, use, 
without need of chemical experiments. Hill proposed 
using the outward qualities of a mineral exclusively, 
and these were determined by sight, smell, taste and 
touch. The text makes heavy use of tables to organize 
the characteristics of each species, and it is clear that 
Hill did not require all features to be defined for a 
given mineral. For example, sulfur is said to have a 
distinct odor. For each species, the author has provided 
synonyms to Wallerius, Bomare, Linneaus and his 
earlier History of Fossils (London, 1748). In this work, 
Hill anticipated Werner in the use of physical characters 
to distinguish between mineral species; however, his 
text is so convoluted and irregular that it is difficult 
to derive a true picture of the system Hill is proposing.

SCARCE. This work collects together the results 
of various mathematical theories of crystallography, 
which had not previously been published in English. 
Through a careful examination of their properties, 
Hilton was able, with minor adjustments, to derive 
in a simple manner the 32 point groups and the 230 
space groups. However, no practical applications of the 
results obtained are included. Hilton provides a full 
account of the geometrical theory of crystal structure 
as outlined by Bravais, Jordan, Sohncke, Fedorov, 
Schoenflies and Barlow.

HINTZE, Carl Adolf Ferdinand. (Born: Breslau, 
Germany, 17 August 1851; DIED: Breslau, Germany, 
28 December 1916) German mineralogist. 

Hintze attended the schools of Breslau before entering 
the city's university. In 1872 he became assistant to 
the crystallographer P. Groth, then at the University of 
Strasbourg. In the fall of 1880, Hintze took a position as 
scientific consultant to the mineral dealing establishment 
of F.L.R. Krantz in Bonn. In 1884, he also accepted a 
position as instructor of mineralogy and crystallography 
at the University of Bonn. In 1886, he accepted a 
similar post at his alma mater, the University of Breslau. 
There in 1892, after the death of F. Roemer, Hintze 
was appointed professor ordinary and director of the 
Mineralogische Instituts. He remained in that position the 
remainder of his life.

VERY SCARCE. One of the great, monumental 
classics of mineralogical literature. In the first 

American notice of this work, Edward S. Dana 
prophetically wrote, "The publication of the first part 
of a new Descriptive Mineralogy which promises to 
be, when completed, the most exhaustive work ever 
written, is an event of no small importance to those 
interested in the science" [See: American Journal of 
Science, 38 (1889), 251]. 

No other mineralogical work has ever achieved the 
encyclopedic nature of Hintze's masterpiece. Individual 
descriptions of minerals give first the crystallographic 
characters, axial ratios, lists of forms, calculated 
angles. The physical characters and optical properties 
are then elaborated upon with full references to 
the original papers. The mineral is then given an 
exhaustive historical review with careful attention to 
its name, composition and earlier researchers. A general 
statement on the species occurrence follows, with a very 
detailed discussion of all important localités, an account 
of the crystals forms from each and references to the 
authors who have treated them. The figures of crystals 
are scattered through this part of the text as referred to. 
An account of the artifical mineral and an exhaustive 
list of previous analyses, including alteration products, 
closes the species descriptions. Seemingly, nothing is 
left to conjecture as there appears to be little attempt 
at condensing the descriptions, and this adds to the 
authority of the work, with many individual mineral 
descriptions running several pages. 

The Handbuch der Mineralogie was published 
as a sequence of parts. The first section of volume 
two was the first to appear in 1889 with the volume 
finally being completed in 1897; this part describing 
the silicates and titanites was completely the work of 
Hintze. Thereafter, the sections for volume one began 
to make their appearance. After Hintze's death in 
1916, Gottlob Linck took over the editing of volume 
one, parts 3 and 4, which was eventually completed 
in 1933. Described below are several Ergänzungsband 
which were published in an effort to keep this massive 
work current. 

Gottlob Eduard Linck. (BORN: Oetisheim, 

Württemburg, Germany, 20 February 1858; DIED: Jena, 
Germany?, 1947) German crystallographer. From 1879 
to 1883, Linck studied in Stuttgart, Strasbourg, and 
Tübingen. In 1883, he received his Ph.D. from the 
University of Strasbourg. In Strasbourg, he became 
assistant for mineralogy (1885-94), professor extraordinary 
(1894) and from 1894, professor ordinary in mineralogy and

VERY SCARCE. To insure that Hintze's Handbuch 
der Mineralogie would remain current, Gottlob Linck 
periodically published supplemental volumes describing 
all the new minerals and correcting mistakes of the 
former volumes. These descriptions were not nearly as 
comprehensive as Hintze's originals, although they did 
follow the same format. In this supplement nearly 800 
species are arranged alphabetically.

and a span of 16 years, the publisher's enlisted K.F. 
Chudoba [see note below] to write another supplement to 
Hintze's Handbuch der Mineralogie. The format has been 
significantly changed. 

Karl Franz Johann Chudoba. (BORN: Writzow, 

Czechoslovakia, 10 September 1898; DIED: Bonn, Germany, 
14 March 1976) Czech mineralogist & crystallographer. 
Chudoba was an assistant in the Museum of Natural 
History at the University of Vienna, before becoming 
a professor of mineralogy at the University of Freiberg- 
am-Breisgau (1926-8). Subsequently, he was appointed 
professor of mineralogy at the University of Bonn (1928- 
68). Chudoba applied himself principally to the study of 
German minerals, but also wrote a papers on the minerals 
of Madagascar, Brazil and Southwest Africa.

Hisinger was a wealthy landowner and proprietor of 
a foundry, and for amusement, he worked privately as 
a scientist. In 1803, together with J.J. Berzelius he is 
credited with the discovery of the element cerium. Hisinger 
researched the electrolysis of salts and found the amount 
of decomposition proportional to affinity of compound 
components and to surface contact with the conductor. 
The extensive mineralogical and geological collections he 
accumulated during his lifetime were bequeathed to the 
Swedish Natural History Museum in Stockholm.

geographical distribution, the text starts with separate 
chapters each covering a province of Sweden (the north 
is not treated). The general petrography is followed 
by short descriptions of the mines known to the region 
and their minerals. Provinces covered are Dalarne, 

Vestmanland, Upland, Södermanland, Nerike, Vermeland, 
Dahlsland,Vestergöthland, Ostergöthland, Småland, Skåne 



and Gottland. The plates show a cross-section and various 
maps of the Swedish country. [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

sachusetts, U.S.A., 23 May 1793; DIED: Amherst, Mas- 
sachusetts, U.S.A., 27 February 1864) American geolo- 
gist. 

Hitchcock was educated as a clergyman, and from 
1824 to 1845 he was professor of natural history and 
chemistry at Amherst College, becoming president of 
the institution from 1845 to 1855. He then took an 
appointment as professor of geology from 1855 to 1864. At 
various times he was the State Geologist of Massachusetts 
and Vermont. He is best remembered for his work on glacial 
drift and the fossil footprints of the Connecticut Valley.

Minerals."; 679-692, Index. 

SCARCE. This is the first report prepared by 
Hitchcok of the geology, mineralogy, botany and 
zoology of Massachusetts. The text is divided into four 
parts with the (I) Economical Geology taking pages 
1-72, followed by (II) Topographical Geology (pp. 73- 
110), (III) Scientific Geology (pp. 111-542) and (IV) 
Catalogues of the Animals and Plants on pages 543-652. 
Throughout the text there are numerous references to 
the minerals and mineral deposits found with in the 
state. It was followed by several other publications on 
the subject [which see entries below]. 

The "Atlas of Plates" refereed to on the title page 
almost never accompanies the text volume. It appears 
to have consisted of a few pages of text together with 
a large 240 x 300 mm. folding colored(?) map of the 
state of Massachusetts.

of mineralogy is covered in the section (pages 288- 
356). It describes the precious stones known to the 
ancients, the first theories of fossils, history of research 
on igneous rocks, the story of topographical mineralogy, 
meteorites, and discoveries in crystallography. The final 
section details the evolution of geology (pages 357-408). 
It gives the story by looking at the geological theories 
of Burnet, Whiston, Woodward, Steno, Leibnitz, and 
Buffon. Other sections describe volcanism, neptunism, 
Werner's theories, theory of metamorphism, and the 
rise of modern paleontology.

VERY SCARCE. This work is one of the 

greatest encyclopedias of Werner's mineral theories ever 
published. It was the only authorized publication of 
Werner's mineral system. It was begun by Hoffmann 
who died after the first two volumes were published, 
and continued on by the young August Breithaupt, 
who completed the third and fourth volumes. In 
this monumental treatise, the Wernerian doctrine of 
mineralogy is propogated in its fullest treatment. The 
authors accept all of Werner's theories concerning 
mineral formation and classification, and includes 
numerous illustrative examples. The text is extremely 
generous in its treatment of the subject, sometimes 
devoting long detailed sections to minute points. 
Werner did not publish much on his theories but his 
students and followers insured that his ideas would 
reach a larger audience by authoring their own works 
following his guidelines. 

The first volume provides a short history 
of mineralogy, definitions, descriptions of physical 
properties, including color, optics, streak, hardness, 
specific weight, transparency, luster, and crystal 
form, chemical qualities, the use of the blow-pipe, 
nomenclature, and a synopsis of the classification 
system. Later volumes contain essentially a descriptive 
mineralogy. Under each species, all that was known is 
included in the descriptions.

HOFFMANN, Friedrich. (BORN: Halle, Germany, 19 
February 1660; DIED: Halle, Germany, 12 November 
1742) German physician. 

Hoffmann was the son of Friedrich Hoffmann [1626- 
1675], a well-known municipal physician of Halle. In 1675, 
he lost both his parents and a sister within a few days. In 
his youth, he was educated at home, including instruction 
in anatomy and pharmacology. From 1678 to 1680, he 
studied medicine at the University of Jena, receiving his 
M.D. in 1681. Afterward, Hoffmann embarked on an 
extended tour of Belgium, Holland, and England, studying 
medical methods. In 1681, he accepted a position at the 
University of Jena, but soon left due to jealousy from the 
senior faculty. For the next decade he successfully practiced 
his craft in Minden and Halberstadt. In 1693, Hoffmann 
was named the first professor of medicine at the University 
of Halle and charged with organizing the medical school. 
Except for a couple of tenures as court physician in Berlin, 
he remained in Halle.

the time. 

Johann Jacob Lerch (Lerche). (BORN: Potsdam, ??, 

27 December 1703; DIED: St. Peterburg, Russia, 23 March 
1780) German physician. Lerch emmigrated to Russia in 
1731, becoming from 1732 to 1736 a field doctor in the 
Russian army stationed in Persia. Between 1745 and 1748, 
he made two extensive trips throughout the region. He 
participated in a war between Russia and Turkey in 1770, 
before retiring to St. Petersburg.

VERY SCARCE. This is the third edition of the 
collected works of Hoffmann and second edition of all 
the supplements to the original Opera Omnia (1740- 
53). Hoffmann was a prolific writer, covering a wide 
scope of contemporary medicine. Included here is his 
most important medical contribution, the Medicinae 
Rationalis Systematicse, as well as works on pediatrics, 
physiology, pathology, medical ethics and personal 
hygiene. Hoffmann was the first to provide descriptions 
of appendicitis, chlorosis, rubella and convulsive asthma 
with dropsy. 

The son of a prominent German physician, 
Hoffmann (1660-1742) studied at Jena, and later 
worked with Robert Boyle in England before returning 
to teach medicine at Halle. He was a prominent 
practitioner and for a while served as physician to 
Frederick I of Prussia. Hoffmann is best known as the 
designer of the mechanico-dynamic system, in which 
health is conceived of as normal movement and disease 
as disturbed movement.

HOLLANDUS, Johan Isaac. Dutch alchemist. 

Thought to be contemporary with Basilius Valenti- 
nus, Hollandus and his son are probably inventions, and 
never actually lived. They are said to be the first alchemists 
of Holland, and their techniques praised by Paracelsus, 
Boyle, and Kunckel. They are said to have lived in the 
fifteenth century because they do not cite any later au- 
thority, but no evidence has ever been found as to their 
true identity.

8°: A-Ee 8 ; 224/.; [16], [1]-431, [1] p. With dozens 
of small woodcut illustrations in the text, 2 woodcut 
initial letters, one woodcut tailpiece, cast fleurons, and 
roman and italic type. 

VERY SCARCE. A classic among the alchemical 
texts, although the authorship is doubtful. It is 
written in a canting alchemical and almost unreadable. 
(Partington) "Of the person or persons called Hollandus 
very little is known. By those who consider 

thern two persons, Isaac is regarded as the father 
and John Isaac as the son... The dates assigned to 
the Hollands are very various. They have been 
put in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth 
centuries... Boerhaave said: 'they describe all the 
operations to the most minute circumstances..., write 
excellently of distillation, fermentation, putrefaction, 
and their effects, and seem to have understood at least 
as much of these matters as any of the moderns'." They 
describe very skillful operations in enameling and in 
imitating precious stones. 



The first edition of any work by the mysterious 
Johannes Isaac Hollandus, a Latin translation of a 
German manuscript of his treatises on mineralogy, 
alchemy and the philosopher's stone, and especially 
on the use of metal oxides to colour stones and 
crystals to make fake gems and precious stones. The 
charming little woodcuts show distilling and other 
equipment. The preliminaries include verses by the 
Zeeland notables Petrus Hondius, Enoch Sterthemius, 
and Cornelis Herls (d. 1625), and a 12-page dedication 
to Count Everard of Solms. The first and most 
important edition by the mysterious Hollandus, and a 
lovely little book with instructions for making fake gems 
and precious stones.

VERY RARE. Very rare second edition of collection 
of alchemical works in German by mysterious Johannes 
Isaac Hollandus. There are many uncertainties about 
his person. Firstly, it is unclear whether there is one 
Hollandus, Johannes lsaaci, or two persons, Johannes and 
Isaac. The date has long been a matter of controversy, but 
most scholars now maintain the latter half of the sixteenth 
or the beginning seventeenth century. The confusion was 
caused by the great similarity to Paracelsan writings, who 
was accused by some of having plagiarized Hollandus. 
It has now been established that Hollandus wrote after 
Paracelsus but wanted to pretend that he antedated his 
writings. He therefore omitted any mention of sixteenth 
century authorities, because Paracelsus died in 1541. 

According to Partington, p. 207, Hollandus writes 
in a "canting alchemical style," "some of the recipes 
are clearly described," and furthermore that Hollandus 
believed that "each metal contains in its interior the

According to Ferguson, the present work was first 
published in Frankfurt in 1667, in an edition of 384 pages. 
This is the greatly enlarged (752 pages), second edition.

HOOKE, Robert. 

Hooke's father John Hooke was the local vicar. It 
was the ambition of his parents that Robert should receive 
an education befitting him for Holy Orders, but he had 
a delicate constitution and although sprightly and quick- 
witted was unable to study on account of frequent and 
severe headaches. 

After his father's death in October 1648, Robert 
Hooke went to Westminster School and soon displayed an 
outstanding ability in mathematics. In 1653 he entered 
Oxford University where his knowledge of mechanics and 
inventive skill was noticed by Robert Boyle who engaged 
Hooke as his assistant. Through Boyle's influence Hooke

History 



HOOKE 



was appointed Curator to the Royal Society on I th 
November I66z and on 3rd June the following year was 
elected a Fellow. 

The genius of Hooke was justly rewarded by the 
Royal Society when they perpetuated his appointment as 
Curator with a good salary, providing him with apartments 
in Gresharn College, Bishops- gate Street, where he resided 
for the rest of his life. 

Elected Professor of Geometry at the College on 
zoth March 1665 Hooke concentrated on the invention of 
mechanical devices, the development of the microscope and 
the study of astronomy. From sth October 1677 to 30th 
November I68z he acted as Secretary to the Royal Society 
in addition to his other duties and edited seven numbers 
of the Philosophical Collections, substituted by him for 
the Society's Transactions. In spite of poor health since 
childhood Hooke was a prodigious inventor and his mind 
was so prolific that there was scarcely a discovery made 
which he did not claim to have conceived himself. 

Hooke was involved in a Chancery suit concerning 
his salary in 1696 and although he won the case the ordeal 
brought about a further deterioration of his health. During 
the last year of his life blindness and swelling of the legs 
rendered him helpless and he died at Gresham College on 
3rd March 1703 at the age of sixty-seven. He was buried 
in the local church of St. Helen.

the printing of the book. (Keynes) 

Hooke was much more than a naturalist and 
never happier than when studying details of animal 
and vegetable structure under the microscope. In this 
work he describes and theorises in a most accurate 
and informative fashion upon the scale of an eel, the 
underside of a nettle leaf, the sting of a bee and 
the common moulds. He was no specialist like his 
successors who considered themselves experts in the 
use of the microscope; although they may have probed

deeper their work was confined to narrower limits. 
The lepidoptera are represented by a single species, 
the White Plume Moth Alucila pentadactyla L. or, as 
Hooke calls it, 'The White Feather-winged Moth' which 
he says is sometimes found on nettles. 

The preface to the second edition contains the 
interesting information that the first edition of the 
Micrographia has 'grown extremely scarce and the price 
thereof greatly raised'. The fact is also mentioned that 
the original copperplate blocks were used for illustrating 
the second edition, with the exception of seven which 
had been lost and replaced by exact copies. 

The first edition was reproduced in facsimile 
by Robert Günther in 1938 as part of a larger 
work. Robert William Theodore Günther was born at 
Sur biton, Surrey, on z3rd August 869. After studying 
zoology at London and Oxford Universities he was 
appointed Lecturer at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 
1897. Günther published a number of works dealing 
with the history of science and died March 1940.

subsequently confined his attention to botany. In the 
summer of 1809 he made his first botanical expedition 
to Iceland, but the natural history specimens which he 
collected, together with his notes and drawings, were 
lost on the homeward voyage through the burning of 
the ship, and the young botanist himself was lucky to 
escape with his life. His good memory, however, allowed 
Hooker to publish an account of the island, and of its 
inhabitants and flora as Journal of a Tour in Iceland, 
which was privately circulated in 1811, and reprinted in 
an expanded edition in 1813.

VERY RARE. The only edition, produced for just

was a practical Derbyshire miner, and although some 
of the terms and definitions are in a dialect particular 
to the period and location, there is never the less a great 
deal of practical information concerning the mining 
practices in the lead mines of Derbyshire of the time. Of 
consequence to mineralogy are the terms and definitions 
Hooson gives various mineral forms encountered during 
mining.

Extremely rare. At the age of 18, Johann 
Heinrich Hottinger authored and was respondent to this 
disseratation over which his uncle, Samuel Hottinger, 
presided. At the time, the Collegium Carolinum in 
Zurich was one of the great educational institutions 
of Europe, and it is perhaps through the influence of 
it famous professor, JOHANN JACOB SCHEUCHZER, that 
Hottinger was inspired to write this crystallography. 
In it, he gives a history and etymology of the term 
"crystal," classifies specimens according to external 
form, makes observationson crystal habit and concludes 
that crystals grew from solution. References are given 
throughout the text to contemporary literature.

HOUTTUYN, Martinus. (Born: Hoorn, The 
Netherlands, 1720; DIED: 1798) Dutch physician. 

Born the son of Dr. Willem Houttuyn, Martinus 
studied medicine in Leyden, where he graduated in 1749. 
After graduation he went to Amsterdam, where he opened 
a medical practice. He probably was related to the 
publishing house of Houttuyn in Amsterdam, and through 



this connection was introduced to Jan Christiaan Sepp 
[1739-1811]. Their association caused Houttuyn to produce 
several important translations.

VERY SCARCE. The five volumes described form 
the complete third and concluding section of the 
author's well known comprehensive description of the 
three natural kingdoms. Although the name of Linnaeus 
is invoked in the title, this voluminous publication is, as 
Soulsby (1933) writes, "only slightly based upon on the 
Systema Naturae under which it is so often cited, but 
influenced many similar works in other countries." 

As a young man, Houttuyn decided to write 
an elaborate, well illustrated explanation of Linneeus' 
natural history method. Realizing that this project 
would take many years, he took the precaution of 
building up a large collection of natural history objects. 



From this collection, specimens were choosen for 
illustration to support various points discussed within 
the body of the work. Publication began in 1761 and 
was completed 37 tomes and over 22,000 pages later in 
1785. The complete work consists of three main parts, 
namely: zoology (18 vols., 143 plates), botany (14 vols., 
105 plates) and mineralogy (5 vols., 48 plates). Each 
volume is well illustrated with copper plate engravings, 
and as was typical of the time, either plain or colored 
versions could be purchased from the publisher. 

Mineralogy is covered in what Houttuyn called 
volume 3, parts 1—5, tomes 33 to 37. The plates 
are beautifully hand— colored examples of fossils, corals, 
marbles, stalachtites, gypsum, calcite, agates, jaspers, 
precious stones, and various metallic ores. It 

obstensibly is based upon the tenth edition of Linneaus' 
Systema Naturas; however, it is more a compilation than 
a translation.

VERY SCARCE. Hughes, who was Rector of St. 
Lucy's Parish, lived much of his life in Barbados. 
He had as his hobby, studying the natural history of 
this island. The accumulated observations of his life 
are contained in this beautifully illustrated and much 
praised work. Among his observations are descriptions 
of the islands geology and mineralogy.

SCARCE. A comprehensive dictionary in 

English on the subjects of geology and mineralogy. 
Included are references to terms in the fields of 
botany, chemistry, comparative anatomy, conchology, 
entomology, palaeontology and zoology as they are 
connected to geology. In the preface, Humble writes 
that he undertook the compilation of this work 
because he failed to locate a dictionary containing such 
technological terms as are peculiar to this branch of 
science. Since the beginning of the eighteenth century, 
there had been a great increase in the knowledge of 
geology, especially in Britain, and these advances had 
ballooned the nomenclature of the science. Humble's 
book helped the reading public discover the meaning of 
these terms. The text is arranged alphabetically, and 
references are provided for some entries.

& scientist. 

Humboldt travelled in Central and South America 
(1799-1804) and wrote extensively on natural history, 
meteorology, and physical geography. He proved that the 
Amazon and Orinoco river systems are connected, and 
ascended to 5,877 m (19,280 ft) in the Andes, the highest 
ascent ever made at that time, researching the relation of

Paris writing up his results, returning later to Berlin, where 
he served at the Prussian court. He wrote a popular work in 
several volumes, Kosmos (1845-62), describing the structure 
of the Universe as it was then known.

RARE. Published anonymously, with only the 
initials, "H-t" , at the end of the introduction to 
indicate the actual author. This is Humbolt's first 
book written while he was still a student at the 
Universities of Frankfurt-an-der-Oder and Göttingen 
and in which he attacks the theories of volcanism but

without fully supporting neptunism. During vacations, 
Humboldt made several geological excursions to the 
Harz Mountains and the Rhine and the present book 
is the result of his observations on basalt. This 
study foreshadowed Humboldt's life-long interest and 
investigations of volcanoes and earthquakes which were 
his most important contributions to geology. Humboldt 
dedicated the work to Georg Forster, who was the 
author's guiding influence and role model. Interestingly, 
the library of the Bergakademie in Freiberg possesses 
a presentation copy of the book dated 25 July 1790 
which had been sent by the author to Werner, who later 
became Humbolt's most influential teacher. 

The text is divided into two major sections. The 
first reviews the commentary on basalt by old and 
contemporary authors, with an introductory essay (pp. 
11-37). Several subsections follow. The first describes 
the Syenite of the ancients (pp. 38-40). Another 
examines the views of Pliny and Strabo on basalt (pp. 
41-67), while the file subsection describes the rocks and 
geology of the ancients (pp. 68-74). The second portion 
of the book provides Humboldt's observations on the 
basalt outcrops located along the Rhein river (pp. 77- 
126).

VERY RARE. The famous Voyage aux Régions 
Equinoctiales du Nouveau Continent, Fait en 1799- 
1804 is an account of Humboldt and Aimé Jacques 
Bonpland 1773-1858] scientific survey of Central and 
South America. It is not clear if any portion of this 
huge work contains any mineralogy; however, the 6th 
part is a famous and rare, richly illustrated botanical 
work. This massive work was published in 30 volumes 
over 25 years, describing the natural history, economy, 
ethnography and archaeology of Cuba and Central 
and South America. Considered one of the greatest 
publications in the history of exploration it is today still 
an important primary source for its contributions to 
topography, geography, zoology, botany, ethnography 
and geology. It describes three expeditions to different 
regions, each with its own scientific objectives: 

1. The exploration of the Orinoco River, 16 July 
1799 to 24 November 1800, covering 2000 square miles 
of uncharted and mostly unexplored jungle. 

2. Travels to Cuba and through Peru, Colombia 
and Equador, from 24 November 1800 to 5 December 
1802. 

3. Researches in Mexico, from 5 December 1802 
to May 1804. 

The voyages led to many discoveries and scientific 
by-products, and the participants catalogued and drew 
8000 plants, 4000 not previously described. They 
established the cause of periodic meteor showers, and 
gave a scientific basis to the geography of the territories 
visited. The many hand-colored illustrations of the 
original are today highly sought after.

VERY SCARCE. Humboldt's favorite book, 

published in 1808 this contains the author's opinions of 
nature. It expresses strongly and definitively the proof 
that experience of nature and scientific realization do 
not have to be a contradiction. Its overview reaches 
from the steps of and deserts of the waterfall at Orinoco 
up to the nocturnal animal life in the jungle. Today, the 
book is a treasure for geographers, botanists, historians, 
écologiste, meteorologists and biologists and an early, 
important work in pure science. 

Many reissues, new editions and translations of this 
book appeared.

HUMPHREY, George. (Born: 1739?; Died: 1825) 
English conchologist, collector & mineral dealer. 

Chief 'commerical naturalist' in Britain for many 
years. He was the brother-in-law of the mineral dealer 
JACOB FORSTER. He inherited the immense conchological 
and mineralogical collections accumulated by his father. 
Part of this accumulation was sold at auction during April 
and May 1779 (see: Museum Humfredianum) , while another 
portion was discovered by G.B. Sowerby: J. De Carle 
Sowerby in Mineral Conchology, 6 (1826), p. 3 wrote, "the 
collection purchased by my brother from the late Mr G. 
Humphries" and (p. 5) "which has been for many years 



unopened when my brother purchased it and disclosed its 
riches."

Hunt 




Hunt 

alogist, petrologist & chemist. 

Hunt lost his father at the age of twelve, and was 
obliged to earn his own livelihood. In the course of two 
years he found employment in a printing office, in an 
apothecary's shop, in a bookstore and as a clerk. He 
became interested in natural science, and especially in 
chemical and medical studies and entered Yale. In 1845, 
Hunt was elected a member of the Association of American 
Geologists and Naturalists at Yale— a body which in 1849 
became the American Association for the Advancement of 
Science. At Yale, he became assistant to Benjamin Silliman 
[1779-1864]. In 1846, he was appointed chemist to the 
Geological Survey of Vermont. Hunt was elected F.R.S. 
in 1859 and was an original member of the Royal Society 
of Canada.

VERY SCARCE. Hunt came to mineralogy from a 
chemical background and examined the subject from 
that stand point. In his Minerai Physiology and 
Physiography, his researches into the chemical and 
mineral composition of rocks extended the theoretical 
framework for chemical geology and how it worked with 
in the earth. 

Chapters: I. Nature in thought and language. II. The 
order of the natural sciences. III. Chemical and geological 
relations of the atmosphere. IV. Celestial chemistry from 
the time of Newton. V. The origin of crystalline rocks. VI. 
The genetic history of crystalline rocks. VII. The decay of 
crystalline rocks. VIII. A natural system of mineralogy. IX. 
History of Pre-Cambrian rocks. X. The geological history 
of serpentines, with studies of Pre-Cambrian rocks. XI. 
The taconic question in geology. The book is a through 
study if crystalline and metamorphic Rocks. It is as well a 
study of mineralogy and Precambrian Stratigraphy.

VERY SCARCE. A unique book in many 

respects and of considerable interest for the "natural 
history" method the author adopts for mineralogical 
classification. Remarkably, it advances material that 
is seldom found in other texts, and, overall, this 
book should be viewed as a highly interesting and 
instructive series of essays that give Hunt's ideas on 
various aspects of mineralogy. An excellent review of 
other important mineralogical systems of classification 
is included as are discussions on chemistry, physical 
properties, formation of minerals, theory of solution, 
crystallization, chemistry of species, nomenclature, etc. 
The text concludes with a good index.

this is an introduction to the rock forming minerals. 
The text is divided into two parts: 1. Methods of 
examination and 2. Tables for the determination of 
minerals. The work gives more completely than had 
been before attempted in a single volue a description 
of the techniques used in determining the mineralogical 
study of rocks, using optical, chemical and mechanical 
operations. A second part gives a series of tables for 
the determination of the rock forming minerals, which 
condense a large amount of information down to a useful 
size.

HUYGENS, Christian. (BORN: Haag, The Nether- 
lands, 14 April 1629; DIED: Haag, The Netherlands, 8 
June 1695) Dutch physicist & mathematician. 

Huygens studied law and mathematics at the 
University of Leyden. Afterwards he traveled extensively 
througout Europe, living in Denmark and France before 
returning to The Netherlands. He dicovered the laws of 
centrifugal force and invented the pendulum clock in 1655. 
He maintained that light was moved by waves through 
the aather, opposing Newton's corpuscular theory. He was 
made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1663.

after the appearance of Newton's Principia, it 
offered a characteristically mechanical reply to the 
mathematically based explanation of Newton. However, 
Huygens work made a profound impression on Newton, 
as can be seen in the mechanistic orientation of 
Newton's Opticks (London, 1704). In 1802, Thomas 
Young exploited Huygen's theory to explain optical 
interference, which would play an important role in the 
optical aspects of mineralogy and crystallography of the 
nineteenth century. 

Variant issue, 1690: The work comes in two issues for 
which no priority as been established. Issue A as above, 
while issue В has the line "Par C.H.D.Z." replaced with 
"Par Monsieur Christian Huygens, Seigneur de Zeelhem." 
Both titles are reproduced in Horblit.
