IDDINGS, Joseph Paxson. (Born: Baltimore,
Maryland, U.S.A., 21 January 1857; DIED: Montgomery
County Hospital, Maryland, U.S.A., 8 September 1920)
American petrologist & mineralogist.
Iddings moved to Orange, New Jersey at age of 10. In
1877, he graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School of
Yale University, where he became interested in mineralogy
and petrology. He traveled to Europe, becoming a student
from 1879 to '80 of Harry Rosenbusch [1836-1914] at the
University of Heidelberg. Upon returning to America
in 1880, he went to work for U.S. Geological Survey.
There he helped survey the Eureka district of Nevada
and Yellowstone National Park. Iddings accepted an
appointment as professor of petrology at the University
of Chicago in 1895, where he remained until 1908. Then
Iddings retired to a private life of scholarship.

SCARCE. The advance of petrology during the late
nineteenth century is clear in Iddings textbook. Here
the emphasis is on determining the mineral species that
make up rock aggregates. The numerous illustrations
show apparatus, diagrams and many excellent crystal
drawings probably copied from Dana's Sixth Edition,
which was also a Wiley publication.

IGELSTRÖM, Lars Johann. (BORN: Yngshyttan near
Persberg, Värmland, Sweden, 10 February 1822; DIED:
Gräs, Sunnemo parish, Värmland, Sweden, 15 May
1897) Swedish geologist & mineralogist.
Studied Bergsskolan Filipstad 1841-42 with special
vitsord in mineralogy and chemistry. Studied further
chemistry at the laboratory of L. F. Svanberg 1844.
Worked in Finland as fieldgeologist at gold-expeditions to
Kuusamo. Back in Sweden scholarship at Jernkontoret
to 1857. Mineralogical travels in Sweden during field
seasons where followed up with winters in laboratory. He
described several new minerals from the phosphate bearing
quartzite at Horrsjöberg, Värmland. Moved 1859 back
to his family home at Persberg, where he stayed until
1871. During this time I. continued his scientific work
even though he had no official position. Especially the
mineral recourses of Värmland was investigated. Igelström
recognized hausrnannite and braunite in the Långban-type
manganese ore deposits Långban, Nordmark and Pajsberg
and described oddities such as native lead, monimolite,
manganophyllite, pyroaurite etc. from these localities. He
even recognized a new Långban-type deposit; Sjögruvan
in Grythytte parish After I's move to Gräs 1871 follows an
idle period regarding his scientific work. The reason for this
was that I was more heavily involved in farming both at his
family home and his new home that came into the family
via his wife. Also, Gräs was much more peripheral to the
mining areas of Värmland when comparing to his earlier,
central position in Persberg. In the 1880 's he resumed
his mineralogical investigations, especially from Sjögruvan
from which he described several new species (today many
of these have been discredited).
Igelströms accomplishments has to be judged in the
light of his own time. Doing that he stands out as one of the
major Swedish mineralogists. He was extremely productive
and published more than 100 articles and short notes in
geology and mineralogy in the major Swedish journals of
the time many of thes went out in translated versions in
several german and french scientific journals.

IMPERATO, Ferrante. (BORN: Naples, Italy, cl550;
DIED: Naples, Italy, cl631) Italian naturalist &
pharmacist.
Little is known of Imperato's life. He owned a
prosperous pharmacy in Naples, and founded the botanical
gardens of city. Imperato also corresponded with many of
the famous naturalists of the time, including Aldrovandi,
Bauhin, Clusius, Mattioli. His son, Franceso, a lawyer,
inherited the collections. His numerous travels in southern
Italy allowed him to collect many mineral exemplary,
vegetables and animals, and to make many detailed
observations on geological outcrops.

including botany, mineralogy, metallurgy, mining,
zoology, etc. The dedication is to Juan Fernßndez
de Velasco, duque de Frías. In his address to the
reader, Imperato names Niccolò Antonio Stigliola as
having consulted on the text. Thorndike believes
Stigliola to be the actual author. On the question of
authorship see V. Placcius, Theatrum anonymorum et
pseudonymorum, 2 (Hamburg, 1708), p. 379, no. 1430.
See also Murray, D. (1904). There are 126 woodcuts
in the text. These are of gems, plants, sea creatures,
reptiles, and insects. Mortimer suggests Mario Cartaro
as artist of these blocks. First edition printed in a
small edition for friends of Imperato. The striking
double— page frontispiece shows his magnificent library
and museum, a vast collection of prepared animals (i.e.,
birds, fish, insects, and a huge crocodile fastened to the
ceiling) and several shelves of books. The text woodcuts
show plants, animals, minerals, etc.
Of further interest is the theory, introduced
by Thorndike and based on two 17th century
bibliogrpahies that the actual author of the book was
not Imperato but Antonio Nicolo Stelliola (or Stigliola)
[?????], friend and disciple of Galilei and author of the
earliest treatises on the construction of the telescope
(1627). For an excellent detailed description of the book
with illustr see Ruth Mortimer, Harvard College Italian

ISIDORUS HlSPALENSIS. (BORN: Cartagena or
Seville, Spain, c570; DIED: Seville, Spain, 636) Spanish
encyclopaedist.
Isidore, Bishop of Seville, became, thanks to his
remarkable Etymologies, or the Origins of Words, the chief
authority of the Middle Ages, and the presence of his
encyclopedia in every monastic, cathedral and college
library was a main factor in perpetuating the state of
knowledge and the modes of thought of the late Roman
world. He was Bishop of Seville from around 600 until his
death.

the earliest printed map of the world, a schematic "Г-
map' with areas marked as Asia, Europe, and Africa,
the whole surrounded by a circle of water, with inland
waterways between the continents — that between
Europe and Africa being marked as the Mediterranean.
There is also an illustration of the earliest printed tree
of consanguinity.
This work, the most notable of Isidore, is the
standard authority upon the state of learning at the
end of the 6th and beginning of the 7th century.
Divided into twenty books, it "defines or discusses terms
drawn from all aspects of human knowledge and is
based ultimately on late Latin compendia and gloss
collections. The books of greatest scientific interest
deal with mathematics, astronomy, medicine, human
anatomy, zoology, geography, meteorology, geology,
mineralogy, botany, and agriculture... His influence in
the Middle Ages and Renaissance was great, and he
remains an interesting and often authoritative source for
Latin lexicography, particularly in technical, scientific,
and nonliterary fields." — DSB.
In terms of mineralogy, Book XVI, "De lapidibus
et metallis," describes stones, minerals, and metals.
This was one of the principal sources available in the
Middle Ages for ideas about minerals and stones, and
was compiled by Isidorus from ancient sources, the most
important being Pliny.

Latin knowledge of chemistry in that period. We
find in them [Geber's writings] remarkably sound views
on methods of chemical research; a theory of metals
(the six metals differ essentially because of different
proportions of sulfur and mercury in them); preparation
of various substances (e.g., basic lead carbonate; arsenic
and antimony from their sulfides). Geber deals also
with various applications, e.g., refinement of metals,
preparation of steel, dyeing of cloth and leather,
varnishes to water-proof cloth and to protect iron, use of
manganese dioxide in glass-making, use of iron pyrites
for writing in gold, distillation of vinegar to concentrate

magnetic force." The study of the manuscripts and
printed texts of Geber suggests that the corpus of
the writings attributed to Geber is not the work of a
single man but, rather, that of a school. In addition
to the Latin alchemical writings, which appeared in
the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, there are older
works from the tenth century written in Arabic under
the name of Geber. The author of these Arabic writings,
however, was not the same as the author of the Latin.

JACKSON, Charles Thomas. (Born: Plymouth,

Massachusetts, U.S.A., 28 Augusti 1880) American
physician & chemist.
Jackson obtained his medical degree from Harvard in
1829. He was interested in geology as well as medicine and
chemistry and he made several geological surveys of various
parts of New England between 1837 and 1844. Always a
quarralsome type with a touch of madness underneath the
surface, he went mad in 1873 and never recovered.

widely in Europe and was thoroughly knowledgeable
on the subject of the statistics of the precious metals.
He was appointed to the comptrollership of corn
returns in 1822. "On the suggestion of Huskisson,
[Jacob] undertook an inquiry into the production and
consumption of the precious metals. This work shows
great research, but is defective, which may be attributed
partly, for the more recent periods, to the insufficient
historical information available then" (Palgravell, 471).
"Mr. Jacob has recently published An Historical Inquiry
in which he takes up the subject at the earliest
period, and continues to the present day. This work
... contains a good deal of valuable information, and
deserves the attention of all who take an interest in
such inquiries." (J.R. MacCulloch, A Dictionary of
Commerce).

plates (one double-page, 1 folding), title vignette, and
engraved head- and tail-pieces.
PLATES: All the illustrations are engraved by J.
Erichsonig after drawings executed by B. Grothschilling.
SCARCE. As the librarian of Copenhagen
University, Jacobaeus was also given the duty to arrange
the Royal Collection of Curiosities, of which this is a
printed description. It incorporates all the collections
made by OLE WORM and Bernard Paludanus [??-
??]. The text provides descriptions of the museum
specimens, some of which are shown on the fine plates.
The engraved frontispiece shows a portrait of Christian
V, the royal coat-of-arms, and a view of the "Museum
Regium." The plates show a curious mixture of
man-made and natural objects, including an Eskimo
costume, coins, medals, stuffed animals, birds, fish,
shells, serpents, insects, as well as fossils and minerals.
The depiction of items is even carried into the engraved
head- and tail-pieces as well as the engraved initials, all
of which show other collection specimens.
The Natur alia portion is divided into seven
sections: (1) Man, including mummies and other
animals and quadrupeds, (2) Birds, (3) Fish, (4) Shells,
(5) Reptiles and Insects, (6) Plants, and (7) Metals,
minerals, stones and earths. The Artificiaba has five
divisions corresponding to: (1) Artificial objects of
metal, wood, bone, horn and amber, (2) Weapons,
clothes, implements and utensils from India, Turkey,
Greenland and elsewhere, (3) Antiquities, (4) Scientific
and mechanical apparatus, and (5) Coins, medals,
seals.

JACQUIN, Nikolaus Joseph Freiherr von. (Born:
Leyden, The Netherlands, 16 February 1727; DIED:
Vienna, Austria, 24 October 1817) Austrian botanist
& chemist.
Already an established naturalist, Jacquin moved
from his native land to Vienna in 1752. There he
accepted an appointment by Francis I as the imperial
botanist, and in this capacity he made from 1755 to
1759 an extended botanical expedition to America. Upon
Jacquin's return he was appointed councilor for mines, and
professor of chemistry, metallurgy, mining and metallurgy
at Schemnitz, Hungary. In 1797, he became professor of
chemistry and botany at the University of Vienna. For his
service to the monarchy, he was made a Baron in 1806. In
1804, Jacquin was elected a member of the French Academy
of Sciences. In addition, the plant genus "Jacquine" was
named in his honor by Linneaus.

Jameson
Scottish mineralogist & geologist.
Jameson was a student of John Walker [1743-1804]
at the University of Edinburgh. In 1800, he studied
mineralogy and geology at the Freiberg Bergakademie
under A.G. WERNER. In 1804, upon the death of Walker,
he succeeded to the Regius Chair of Natural History, at the
University of Edinburgh, a position he held until his own
death. In 1808, he help found the WERNERIAN NATURAL
History Society, and cofounded in 1819 with David
Brewster [1781-1868], The Edinburgh Philosophical Journal.
Jameson is today remembered as the greatest exponent of
Werner's geological theories in Britain; however, later in
life, he accepted Hutton's views. In 1826, he was elected
a Fellow of the Royal Society. The mineral "Jamesonite"
was named for him by W. HAIDINGER in 1825.

RARE. Robert Jameson, who was decended
from a Shetland family, was interested in natural
history from childhood. When he became a student
at Edinburgh University, he attended lectures on the
subject given by John Walker [1731-1803], and was
introduced to geology. Soon Jameson was his teacher's
favorite student and was given charge of the university's
museum and taken on field excursions. In 1794, at the
age of 20, he decided to make the study of geology
his life's work. Consequently, he spent his summers
studying geology and natural history in the Shetland
Islands, and in 1797, he arranged an extended visited
to the Island of Arran. His observations on the nature
of these two locations was published as his Outline of
the Mineralogy of the Shetland Islands and the Island
of Arran, the first modern geological examination of the
region.

SCARCE. In 1798, Jameson spent the summer
exploring the Hebrides and the Western Islands, and
in 1799 he investigated the Orkneys and revisited
Arran. As a result of these journeys he published the
much expanded Mineralogy of the Scottish Isles, which
incorporated much of the material from his former
Outline of the Mineralogy of the Shetland Islands and
the Island of Arran (London, 1798).

VERY SCARCE. In the preface to this work,
Jameson reviews the classifications of Cronstedt and
Wallerius and introduces Werener's classification which
he then adopts for the work. The first two volumes
are a descriptive mineralogy, based upon Wernerian
doctrines. The third volume, published in 1808,
is subtitled "Elements of Geognosy" and comprised
the first detailed explanation in English of Werner's
geological theories and his classification of the rock
strata.

VERY SCARCE. Enlarged and corrected edition. The
present work represents the sum of mineralogical knowledge
extant in the early years of the 19th century. The first
volume opens with a list of works consulted and is followed
by a systematic description of species, according to classes,
which continues into the second volume. Here it is followed
by a series of appendices of additional species, additional
British localities, and a tabular view of other systems of
mineralogy, beginning with Linné 1736 and including all
the important classification schemes to Jameson's day. The
third volume is devoted to metallic minerals and closes with
indices to all volumes in English, German, and French. The
plates show various crystal forms.

SCARCE. This Manual contains an account
of simple minerals and mountain rocks. Jameson
has extracted descriptions of the most common
minerals and abstracted the information from the fuller
treatment he provides in his three volume System
of Mineralogy (London, 1820) to create the more
concise treatment given in this work. The rocks
are arranged according to their geological relations,
and the descriptions and history are given in such a
manner that the student will be able to determine
the nature of the veins and strata of a country. The
introduction begins with a sketch of Mohs classification
system, and the basic characters used to distinguish
between species. The text then presents a descriptive
mineralogy arranged in the Classes and Orders of Mohs
classificatory system. Also contained is a long section
on the description and arrangement of mountain rocks.
It is based on Mohs' classification system which first
appeared in 1820.

SCARCE. The text was originally printed in the
supplement volume to the Encyclopaedia Britannica;
however, it was printed in this separate form to
make it more readily available for the use of the
students of mineralogy. Although written for the
beginner, it could also be consulted by more advanced
mineralogists. Jameson bases his classification upon
the system proposed by Friedrich Mohs, which was the
reigning natural history method.
In the Characters of Minerals, all the typical
physical properties such as cleavage, hardness,
specific gravity, color, lustre, fracture, transparency,
crystallization, etc. Jameson then presents his system
of arrangement, and his method for determing the mode
of a mineral, so that it could be placed correctly in the
system. More than half of the volume is then given over
to presenting a descriptive mineralogy arranged in the
system.

Rare in complete copies. First appearance
of this comprehensive and well illustrated treatise
on theoretical and practical metallurgy, published
posthumously by Gabriel's brother, M.G. Jars, who
had accompanied him on his journey through Belgium,
Holland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, England and
Scotland. The French government commissioned
Antoine Gabriel Jars to visit mines in these countries,
studying their techniques and methods. In this way
Jars observed the use of coke in melting iron, and
he was the first French metallurgist to apply this
technology in an experiment, melting copper with coke
in 1769. At first his reports to the French government
remained unpublished for fear that foreign governments
would profit from this specialist knowledge. However
in 1769 after his sudden death Jars's brother began
to publish the writings in this first French edition.
"Ce livre très estimé, offre, non un itinéraire, mais
divers mémoires sur les mines des pays visités par
l'auteur: elles sont décrites avec beaucoup d'exactitude;
Jars donne leur histoire, les règlements et la forme
de leur administration, le mode de leur exploitation
..." (Quérard). The text gives descriptions of mines
producing all kinds of metals, the manufacture of azure,
white lead, zinc, minium, brass, sulfur, alum, salt,
vitriol, bricks, pottery, tiles, coins, etc. The plates show
accurate layouts and cross-sections of mines, furnaces,
iron and steel works, shafts, mining equipment, plans,
and some maps with mining veins indicated.

mineral resources. In his descriptive mineralogy, the
author uses a classification scheme probably derived
from some German system, which groups the minerals
into: 1. gaseous minerals, 2. liquid minerals, 3.
soluble minerals, 4. crude minerals (German: erdige
Mineralien), 5. metallic minerals and 6. flammable
minerals. He also provides good descriptions of several

Societät für die gesammte
JENA, Germany.
Mineralogie.
Founded 1797. This is the first scientific society
devoted exclusively to mineralogy. It was established
through the efforts of Johann Georg Lenz [q. v.], a professor
at the city's University. Lenz together with 18 other
founding members elected Count Domokos Teleki [1773—
1798], an amature mineral collector as chairman, and this
set the tone of cooperation between scientists and collectors
within the organization.
By 1801, the Societät für die gesummt Mineralogie
zu Jena had a membership of 595 members, including
many enthusiastic amateurs and professional mineralogists
and students throughout Europe. Many of the best
known mineralogical authors of the time held membership.
Unfortunately, the complete roster of names as not
survived, only some interesting statistics. Of the
membership, a high percentage were probably students
since 126 lived in Jena and 73 others were Hungarian in
nationality.

VERY SCARCE. Authored by Johanna Salomon
[1920-1989] this thoroughly researched volume is the
only modern history of the first mineralogical society.
The author who died before seeing his book in print has
written a concise and accurate statement of the Sozietät
für die gesamte Mineralogie's role in mineralogy and
German science in general. Using the previously
overlooked archives of the University of Jena as well
as many other sources a vivid biography is crafted of
this Society from its founding in 1796 until its demise
in 1830. Included within the 1170 notes are many
biographical referneces to the Society's members.
The contents may be described as: I. History
of the Society from 1796 to 1830. II. Biography
of the founder Johann Georg Lenz. III. Goethe as
president. IV. Dominik Teleki von Szék and members
from Hungary and Transylvania.

Rare. The Provincial Museum in Königsberg,
Prussia, was largely destroyed during World War II,
but before its demise it held a large geological section
featuring fossils, stones, minerals, and rocks found in
Prussia and adjacent lands. This is the only description
of its contents before its destruction. Incidental
information on the mineral resources of the Prussian
state are also contained in its specimen descriptions.
The folding tables show a chronological summary of
the geological formations, their nature, thickness, and
fossils found of East and West Prussia.

JOANNES DE SANCTO GEMINIANO. (Born: San
Gimignano, Italy, 1270?; DIED: Siena, Italy?, 1323)
Italian Dominican, preacher & encyclopaedist.
Giovanni de Goro (or Gorini), Giovanni Coppo (or de'
Coppi), Joannes Gorinus de Sancto Geminiano or Giovanni
da San Gimicnano assumed the Dominican habit in Siena,
Italy. He was middle-aged by the beginning of the 14th
century and by 1314 he was famous throughout Italy as a
popular lecturer. He authored many ecclesiastical works,
including sermons, orations and commentaries on the
Gospels, but his lasting monument is a large encyclopedia
intended for use by the Dominican preachers. He is also
credited with documenting the legend of his home town's
patron saint, Santa Fina (i.e., Serafina).

Joannes de Sancto Geminiano
Extremely rare. A large encyclopedia of
natural, legal and moral knowledge to provide as many
concrete illustrations as possible in support of medieval
sermons. The original manuscript to this work was
completed by 1313, if not earlier, and first printed in
this edition by Richardus Pafraet [see note below].
Joannes de Sancto Geminiano divides the text
into 10 books, each of which is in-turn divided into
various chapters. The commentary is devoted to setting
forth resemblances, chiefly those of material things, to
things of the mind and spirit. Typical of his age, the
author sometimes indulges in what are now viewed as
far-fetched examples, but would have been standard
views of the educated class of the period. Although not
explicitly stated, the ten books probably relate to the
ten divisions in the Ptolemaic heavens. The ten books
provide numerous examples or "Resemblances" to each
of the following subjects in succession: (1) De Ccelo et
Elementis, or those to be found in the "Heavens and the
Elements," (2) De Metalliset Lapidibus, in "Metals and
Stones," (3) De Vegetabilibus et Plantis, in "Vegetables
and Plants," (4) De Natatilibus et Volatilibus, in
"Fishes and Birds," (5) De Animalibus Terrrestribus,
in "Terrestial Animals," (6) De Homine et Membris
eius, in "Man and his Members," (7) De Visionibus et
Somniis, in "Dreams and Visions," (8) De Canonibus
et Legibus, in "Canons and Laws," (9) De Artificibus
et Rebus Artificialibus, in "Arts and Artificial Things,"
(10) De Acitbus et Moribus Humanis, in the "Actions
and Customs of Men."
Book II covers the metals and stones. Descriptions
within it say that sapphire is the act of divine
contemplation, while asbestos resembles hell fire, and
bitumen bears a resemblance to charity. Some of the
comparisons are strange and startling to say the least.
For example, the comparison between asbestos and hell
fire are based upon a misconception of this mineral.
The name, "asbestos," is derived from the Greek
(Cisbestoz) and means 'unquenchable," an allusion to
the fact that even though it can be reduced to a fibrous
condition that resembles the fibers of cotton or wool, it
cannot be destroyed by fire. This property gave rise to
the myth that it was a substance which when heated
to the point of combustion, it would burn forever, and
could never be extinguished. Hence, the resemblance to
the fire of hell is derived.
Numerous editions of this book appeared.

VERY RARE. With a foreword written by MARTIN
Heinrich Klaproth, this is the first volume of a
series of six that contains the analytical memories of
the author. This initial volume works as a good
general textbook on practical chemistry techniques in
the laboratory. It concentrates on the chemical analysis
of natural objects including minerals, with information
on the reagents used in the manipulation. Other
volumes of the series contain analyses of natural objects
from the plant, animal, and mineral kingdoms. With
regard to mineral analyses, John investigated zinc ores,
meteorites, columbite, tantalite, aragonite, manganese
oxides, native silver, copper, and arsenic. He also
investigated colored rock salt and found that yellow and

determine the cause for the blue coloring, definitively

SCARCE. First published in 1632, Jonston's
Thaumatographia is a compendium of wonders of the
world of nature. It is a collection of observations and
references of natural marvels, retrieved from all ancient
and contemporary literature, and organized by the author
into a series of distinct sections. Jonston organizes the
text into ten classes that describe: the heavens, the
elements, meteors, minerals, plants, birds, quadrupeds,
insects and bloodless animals, fish and men. The second
on fossils and minerals is quite extensive with references
to Albertus Magnus, Pliny and Theophrastus. A section
within the class of plants, discusses tobacco and includes
early references to nature in America.

included/understood it, finds its expression succinte
in the opuscule of Jean Jonston, published in 1661
with Leipzig, heading Notifia regni mineralis seu
subterraneorum catalogue. Coming from a Scottish
family established in Poland, Jonston said itself one,
Scoto-Polonus " . Born in Szamotuly in 1605, it took its
doctorate of medicine in Leyde; the major part of its life
ran out in Leszno at the court of Boguslas Leszczynski,
of which he was the doctor and the tutor. It starts its
treaty by a review of the gases which are released from
the ground and by that of water which results from
this. It distributes the matters of mines themselves
in five groups, namely: 1), glèbes, 2) solidified juices,
3) resins, 4) stones, 5) metals. We cannot occupy us
here of the detail of the classification of Jonston. It
is based on qualities less essential, external, like state
of aggregation, degree of limpidity, color. It could not
be of it differently. At that time, analytical chemistry
was hardly at its beginnings;the bases of systematic
reasonable of minerals did not exist yet.
It should be believed, according to the final words
of the opuscule of Jonston, that it conceived it like a
draft of a broader work. But this work never appeared.

VERY SCARCE. Jourdan's Dictionary of the Terms
Used in the Natural Science gathers the technical terms
in general contemporary use including their etymology,
history, synonyms, and foreign equivalents. Among the
thousands of terms defined are included those used in
geology and mineralogy. It is one of several science
dictionaries published in the mid-19th century, but

JUGEL, Johann Gottfried. (Born: Oberlausitz,
Austria, 1707; DIED: Berlin, Germany, 12 May 1786)
German alchemist.
In 1742 Jugel was appointed the director of mining
activities in Prussia. He gathered a considerable reputation
for his knowledge of the world of science and nature,
especially chemistry, mineralogy, mining, and iron making.
All his life had been devoted to the investigation of nature,
and in some 36 books and papers he had recorded his
views in the mathematical, mining, and occult sciences. On
account of his reputed knowledge of chemistry, he became
a member of the Rosicrucian Society. He was, however,
attacked by Kopp, who calls his work a "coagulum of
nonsense" and considers that he has given proof that the
science of the later Rosicrusians was "pseudo-science of the
most contemptible kind." He believed strongly in alchemy.
At his retirement in 1771, he moved to Berlin.

RARE. Jugel was a director of mining activities in
Prussia and gathered a considerable reputation for his
knowledge of the world of science and nature, especially
chemistry, mineralogy, mining, and iron making. All
his life had been devoted to the investigation of nature,
and in some 36 books and papers he had recorded his
views in the mathematical, mining, and occult sciences.
On account of his reputed knowledge of chemistry,
he became a member of the Rosicrucian Society. He
was, however, attacked by Kopp, who calls his work
a 'coagulum of nonsense' and considers that he has
given proof that the science of the later Rosicrusians
was 'pseudo-science of the most contemptible kind.'

Jungius was educated in philosophy at the University
of Giessen and received in 1618 his M.D. from Padua,
Italy. He was appointed professor of mathematics at the
University of Giessen where he remained from 1608 to 1614.
Subsequently, Jungius became professor of medicine at the
Universities of Rostock (1624-25) and Helmstadt (1625-26).
Appointed as Rector of the Hamburg Gymnasium (1628-
29). Jungius founded in 1622 in Rostock the short lived
philosophical society Societas Ereunetica. He was an early
champion of the atomic theory and developed a method
of plant classification based on genus and species which

VERY RARE. Edited by Christian Bunck [
1659] and Johann Vaget [1633-1691]. During his lifetime
Jungius published little, but left directions in his will
that his very large collection of papers (which were
difficult to read) should be arranged and published,
and a bequest was left for this undertaking. Among
these was the Mineralia that consists primarily of
excerpts from printed books and criticisms of Agricole
principally on philosophical points. Jungius also refutes
Agricola's classification of minerals into earths, concrete
juices, stones and metals, substituting a system of
metals, sulfur, salts, and stones. However, Jungius'

criticism of contemporary mineral chemistry and his
support of an atomic theory was an important step
in the development of chemical theory comparable to
Agricola's work with respect to the physical theory of
minerals.

KALM, Pehr. (BORN: Angermanie, Finland, March
1716; DIED: Uppsala, Sweden, 16 November 1779)
Swedish traveler, botanist & geologist.
Kalm was born the son of a Lutheran minister.
In 1735, he was admitted to Åbo University (Finland)
and then to Uppsala University (Sweden) in 1740. The
following year Kalm became a student and friend of Carl
von Linné (Linneaus), the famous naturalist. Under the
latter's influence Kalm developed a profound interest in
the application of botany to agricultural and industrial
problems. In 1747 he was designated by the Swedish
Academy of Sciences to travel to North America to collect
seeds of plants that might prove useful for feeding people
or animals, or have some other industrial, domestic or
medical purpose. Kalm remained in America, mainly in
New England, from 1748 to 1751. After his return to
Sweden, Kalm became an instructor at Abo University,
where he remained until his death.

VERY SCARCE. This work describes Kalm's
extensive travels in northern Europe and North
America taken between 1747 and 1749. The first
two volumes treat the author's travels in Norway
and England, while the third contains observations
on Canada and New England. The voyage was
undertaken at the request of the Swedish government
for the purpose of discovering whether any North
American plants could be introduced advantageously
into Sweden. Kalm being one of the ablest naturalists
of his time, however, includes numerous observations
on the landscape, mountains, rivers, geology and
mineralogy of the regions visited.
Pehr Kalm's journey to North America originated
in a suggestion to Linnaeus by a member of the
Swedish Academy of Sciences. It was proposed that
a collecting trip be made to regions lying in about
the same latitudes as Sweden, with the purpose of
discovering new plants of economic and medicinal value.
Linnaeus enthusiastically supported the project. He
was particularly interested in bringing the Morus rubra,

a kind of mulberry tree, from America to Sweden
so that a domestic silk industry could be started.
On Linnaeus' recommendation the Academy approved
the trip, selected Pehr Kalm as its emissary and
the necessary funds were provided. Kalm arrived in
Philadelphia in 1748 and after numerous excursions in
the districts around that city and New York, he set out
for Canada in 1749. He travelled by way of Al-bany
and Saratoga and eventually reached Montreal, Three
Rivers and Quebec. The next year he visited Lake
Ontario and- Niagara Falls. He returned to Sweden
in July of 1751 bringing with him a large collec-tion of
plant specimens and seeds which he considered might be
use- fully grown in Sweden. His collections are preserved
in the Botanical Museum at Uppsala. Kalm's account
of his travels, En resa till Norra America, contain-ing
detailed descriptions of conditions in the new country,
became very popular and was translated into German,
French, English (three editions), and Dutch.

KANT, Immanuel.
Kant is one of the most influential philosophers in
the history of Western philosophy. His contributions to
metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics have had
a profound impact on almost every philosophical movement
that followed him.
German philosopher and founder of critical philoso-
phy. The son of a saddler, Kant was born and educated
in Königsberg (Kaliningrad) in East Prussia. After leav-
ing the university he spent a number of years in private
tutoring, but taking his master's degree in 1755, he set-
tled to teach a variety of subjects as Privatdozent. In 1770
he was appointed to the chair of logic and metaphysics at
Königsberg. It was after this that he entered on his great-
est, "critical" period. His life was orderly to the point of
caricature: he never left Königsberg, and never married.
In spite of notorious difficulty of reading Kant, made
worse by his penchant for scholastic systematization and
obscure terminology, his place as the greatest philosopher
of the latest three hundred years is well assured.

VERY SCARCE. The text for this Physical
Geography was prepared from manuscript notes by
Friedrich Theodor Rink [1770-1811]. Pages 87-102 of
the second part describe the mineral kingdom in a very
genetic way.
Kant arranged geography into six ranges, about
which, physical geography, when basis of the five
of other ranges was regarded (mathematical, moral,
political, economic and theological geography). Kant
kept the Kolleg over physical geography of the
beginning of his Privatdozentur (1755) up to the end
of his lecture activity in the summer constant 1796
after ' own dictatis ' and not at the manual one
printed available text book. On the basis of different
manuscripts Rink, a pupil of Kant, has that available

its edition work was finished, the first two volumes
appeared one of K. did not authorize expenditure. A
certain Vollmer finally brought 1801 out in Hamburg
publishing house the two first volumes of one 1805
expenditure increased up to four volumes. It is still
unsettled, in which extent the Vollmer' expenditure
decreases/goes back actually - as indicated - on
materials, which originate from Kant's lecture-room.

VERY SCARCE. This is a descriptive catalog of the
mineralogical portion of Nathanael Gottfried Leske's
[see note below] natural history collection. Since its
publication this work has also been known by the name
Museum Leskeanurn. An earlier part comprising a
single volume and not described here, dealt with the
entomological collection.
Leske was one of the most prominent student's
of Abraham Gottlob Werner. Between 1782 and
1787 it was under the supervision of Werner that Leske
arranged his large mineralogical collection according
to Werner's theory of mineral collections. Upon
Leske's death and at the urging of his heirs, Karsten
another supporter of Werner continued to enlarge the
collection and wrote this descriptive catalog. It was
an important publication for presenting a practical
example of Wernerian doctrine, thus helping to cement
the theory in geological science. This publication also
helped secure the sale of the 7,331 specimen collection
to the Dublin Natural History Museum in 1792 for 1,350
pounds.
The collection is divided into five separate
parts, in conformity with the rules outlined by
Werner in his article "Von den verschiednerley
Mineraliensammlungen, aus denen ein vollständiges
Mineralienkabinett bestehen soll" [see Sammlungen
zur Physik und Naturgeschichte: 1 (1778), 387—
420]. According to Werner each part represented a
separate study in mineralogical science as a whole,
and therefore a complete cabinet of minerals must
consist of as many distinct collections. The five parts
correspond to: (1) oryctognosy, or the knowledge of the
external characters of minerals, (2) systematics, or the
arrangement of minerals into genera and species in a
natural order, (3) geognosy, or the knowledge of the
earth's internal structure, (4) mineralogical geography,
or the distribution of minerals in the earth's crust, and
(5) economic mineralogy, or the study of which minerals
were valuable.
The "Vorrede" contains an extended table of
Werner's Mineralogical system, and the text is divided
into five sections, each corresponding to a separate
collection.
Nathanael Gottfried Leske. (BORN: Muskau, Lusatia,
Germany, 22 October 1751; DIED: Marburg, Germany,
25 November 1786) German physician. Following the
award of a medical degree in 1774, Leske was appointed
extraordinary professor of natural history in 1775 and
ordinary professor of economics in 1778 at the University
of Leipzig. Shortly before his death he was made professor
of public finance and administration at the University of
Marburg.

Karsten
(Wien, 1790). Estner had attacked Wernerian theories
as presented by Karsten in his description of the Leske
mineral cabinet [see entry above]. In this work, written
in the form of a letter addressed to Estner, Karsten
vigorously defends the Wernerian doctrine. After giving
several pages in the way of a general introduction,
he takes on Estner's work point by point, giving first
a quotation from Estner's monograph followed by his
response.

of the time. The second section treats rocks in a similiar
way, but Rio has modified it according to Friedrich Heinrich

new minerals described by Haüy [q. v.] in his Traite de

show that he was keeping abreast of the latest theories even
though separated from Kurope.

RARE. More of a geological work rather
than mineralogical, the two parts of Keferstein's
Naturgeschichte des Erdkörpers covers the Physiology
of the Earth, Geognosy, Geology, and Paleontology.
There is some information regarding the formation of
the minerals inside the earth, based apparently on the
ideas of Werner.

Rare. A mathematician and astronomer, Keill
was known mainly for his exposition of the Newtonian
principles and for his arguments against the theory
of 'natural philosophy' championed by Whiston and
Burnet. With the appearance of his Examination of Dr.
Burnet's Theory of the Earth his reputation increased,
although his serious use of long trigonometrical proofs
to oppose the Theory by testing its hypotheses is to the
modern reader ridiculous.

VERY SCARCE. This juvenile work is a rather
formal Victorian treatment of the hobby of mineral
collecting in the form of a conversation between two
Ohio boys visiting their uncle in Denver, Colorado. It
is an entertaining read, giving a practical education in
mining, minerals, and gemstones, with the additional
colored frontispiece showing uncut jewels and minerals.
A variety of subjects pertinent to mineralogy are
covered in the 20 chapters.

KELLNER, David. (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.

Illustrierte Mineralogie
In 1859, Johann Gottlob Kurr published Das Mineralreich a
very popular coffee table book that beautifully illustrated
minerals on 25 color plates. After Kurr's death, Kenngott
took on the role of author and the result were these four
issues that contain essentially the same text. Variations on
the title pages differentiate the various issues.

SCARCE. This finely illustrated volume is divided
into two sections. The first is the introduction which
covers the forms of minerals and crystals, hardness,
specific gravity, properties dependent on light and color,
electricity, magnetism, and heat, chemical relations and
a table of chemical elements. The remainder of the
text is devoted to special or descriptive mineralogy.
Here the various species and mineral groups are
described. These include precious stones, hornblende or
augite minerals, felspathic minerals, zeolithic minerals,
micaceous minerals, calcareous minerals, compounds of
baryta, compounds of strontia, salts of potash, salts of
soda, salts of magnesia, salts of ammonia, combustible
minerals, and metallic minerals or ores.
The chromolithographie plates, first prepared in
1859 are reproduced in beautiful renderings. See Kurr,
Johann Gottlob for additional information.

KEPLER, Johannes. (Born: Weil der Stadt,
Württemberg, Germany, 27 December 1571; DlED:
Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany, 15 November 1630)
German astronomer.
One of the great geniuses of humanity, Kepler studied
theology and classics at the University of Tübingen.
There he became interested in mathematics and astronomy
and became an adherent of the heliocentric theory of
planetary motion first developed by the Polish astronomer
Nicolaus Copernicus. Kepler accepted Copernican theory
immediately, believing that the simplicity of Copernican
planetary ordering must have been God's plan. In 1594,
when Kepler left for Graz, Austria, he worked out a
complex geometric hypothesis to account for distances
between the planetary orbits-orbits that he mistakenly
assumed were circular. Kepler later deduced that
planetary orbits are elliptic; nevertheless, these preliminary
calculations agreed with observations to within 5 percent.
Kepler then proposed that the sun emits a force that
diminishes inversely with distance and pushes the planets
around in their orbits. Kepler published his account in a
treatise entitled Mysterium Cosmographicum (Cosmographie
Mystery) in 1596. This work is significant because it
presented the first comprehensive and cogent account of
the geometrical advantages of Copernican theory.
Kepler held the chair of astronomy and mathematics
at the University of Graz from 1594 until 1600, when he
became assistant to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe
in the latter's observatory near Prague. On the death of
Brahe in 1601, Kepler assumed his position as imperial
mathematician and court astronomer. In 1612 Kepler
became mathematician to the states of Upper Austria.
Relocated to Linz, Austria, he began publishing a book
that took three years to appear. The Epitome Astronomiae
Copernicanae (Epitome of Copernican Astronomy, 1618-21),
which brought all of Kepler's discoveries together in a single
volume. Equally important, it became the first textbook
of astronomy to be based on Copernican principles, and
for the next three decades it was a major influence in
converting many astronomers to Keplerian Copernicanism.
Kepler also made contributions in the field of optics and
developed a system of infinitesimals in mathematics, which
was a forerunner of calculus.

VERY RARE. Kepler's Sterna- Seu de Niue
Sexángula is the first scientific treatise concerning
crystallography. This small tract, written in the
form of a letter, was presented as a new year's gift
to Matthaus Wackher von Wackenfels. In it Kepler
ponders the problem of why snowflakes are always
sixsided. But every explanation the author formulates,
he also rejects and eventually Kepler concludes that
the true explanation remains for future investigators
to resolve. The crystallographic importance of this
work arises from the author's discussions of space
filling and symmetry. Published here for the first time
are Kepler's discussions of how ordered symmetrical
shapes arise from the packing together of similar bodies,
even though the bodies are not symmetric themselves.
Included in these observations are accounts of cubic
and hexagonal closest packing, an important concept
of modern crystallographic studies.

Rechter Gebrauch d' Alchimei, 1531
with meanings and the table of contents.; Folios 3r-27v,
Text.
VERY RARE. This is the first in a series of
books whose text was perennially copied, abstracted,
enlarged and incorporated into books of differing titles
down to the 18th century. Sometimes Kertzenrnacher's
name was invoked in these works or as in this first
appearance other times not. Based upon the reuse
of the typeface, floral motifs and a woodcut with in
the text, Ferguson (1888) assigns this first printing to
the Frankfurt- am- Main publisher Christian Egenolph,
whose establishment would print several other editions
and reworkings of the text through out the 16th
century.
The contents of the book are of an entirely
practical nature with little speculative alchemy. This
is affirmed in the title of this little work that says the
correct use of alchemy was not solely to transmute the
metals, but to produce different substances that were
in demand for every day uses. It is a collection of
chemical receipts that probably had long been known
to alchemists, metallurgists and others but had never
before been categorized and laid before the public.
Therefore the work paints a fairly accurate picture
of the practical chemical knowledge at the beginning
of the 16th century. Although not directly related
to mineralogy, these little receipt books that dealt
with alchemy, assaying, mining and such had the very
practical value of disseminating techniques in chemical
processes to a large audience. This in turn would
influence the development of mineralogy, metallurgy
and chemistry as they in turn became true scientific
disciplines.
The receipts are not arranged in any regular
fashion, but may be divided into two main headings:
1. substances and 2. processes. Among the substances
mentioned are gold, silver, mercury, antimony, tin,
lead, bismuth, copper and iron. Operations mentioned
are combinations that made brass, amalgams of gold
and silver, and the separation of gold by aquaregia.
The processes described are all simple in nature, and
relate mainly to gilding, tinning, silvering, oxidizing the
various metals, precipaitation, crystallization, roasting,
fusion, and cupellation. In no instance is any
explanation provided of why the process works, not
even in rudimentary concept. This would be left for
the chemists of later years to work out.

VERY RARE. "Of the utmost rarity" according
to Duveen, this is an early treatise on the practical
applications of technological chemistry, including the
manufacturing of colors, poisions and asphyxiating gases.
The second portion describes the transmution and
separation of gold and silver. Appended to the work is
a treatise by Gilbertus Cardinal giving information on
methods of putting metals into solution and the polishing
of gemstones. Ferguson did not know of this edition, and
he thought the first appearance was in 1539.

VERY RARE. According to Ferguson, this is the 4th
issue of Kertzenmacher's book. Early work on minerals
and mining, still full of supernatural belief but also
full of observations and facts gained from nature and
experience. The first edition, with the title still beginning
with: "Alchirni und Bergwerck" , was published in 1539 at
Strassburg by Jacob Cammerlandern. Ferguson states that
the preface revealing the author's name was only added
since the edition of 1570, but Duveen proved that is was
already present in the second edition of 1546, which he had
in his collection. This preface is headed as follows: "Petrus
Kertzenmacher, etwann Bürger zu Meyntz, ein berühmpter
Alchimist, wünscht dem Leser alles guts". On the person
of Kertzenmacher however, nothing is known. He compiled
his book from a number of earlier works, including the
Rechter Gebrauch d'Alchimei from 1531. The book gives
numerous recipes on colours, oils, distilled waters, and
all sorts of minerals and metals, including a large section
devoted to the transmutation and separation of gold and
silver, and at the end a treatise by Gilbertus Cardinal is
added on solution of metals, polishing of gems, and other
practical applications of chemistry.

SCARCE. A standard textbook of mineralogy
which uses a classification of classes, orders, genera, and
species. Listed with each species are the synonymes
by which it is known and locality information. At the
beginning of the book there is a glossary of terms used
in mineralogical science. At the conclusion is an index
to the mineral species described.

Kidd received his M.D. degree from Oxford in 1801.
In 1803, he was made professor of chemistry at Oxford,
where the duties required that he also present lectures
in mineralogy and geology. Kidd was the first to distill
naphthalene from coal tar in 1819.

VERY SCARCE. Probably written as a companion
textbook to the mineralogical lectures delivered by
the author at Oxford, Outlines of Mineralogy is a
derivative work that reflects the state of mineralogy
during the first decade of the nineteenth century. It
is principally based upon the earlier mineralogical
writings of Richard Kirwan and René Just Haüy.
For example, the system of classification that divides
the mineral species has been lifted from Kirwan and
uses the divisions of Earthy, Saline, Inflammable and
Metallic Substances. An appendix handles rocks and
other aggregates. The crystallographical information
scattered through out is derived from Haüy.

KIRCHER, Athanasius. (BORN: Geisa a. d. Ulster,
Germany, 2 May 1601; DIED: Rome, Italy, 30 October
1680) German polymath.
Kircher was the youngest of six sons, whose father
held a doctorate degree in theology. Kircher was provided
an education in various Jesuit institutions, receiving a good
classical education. In 1616 he elected to enter the Jesuit
Order and in 1628 he was ordained a priest. Kircher
was a polymath with interests in cartography, exploration,
natural sciences, mathematics, natural philosophy, Greek,
Latin, Hebrew, Syriac and oriental languages. In 1633,
he answered a call to Rome by Pope Urban VIII and was
appointed professor of mathematics, physics, and oriental
languages at the Collegio Romano. He resigned in 1641
to pursue independent studies, however. Kircher was a
voluminous author writing on a wide variety of subjects
that interested him.

Rare. First published in 1656, Itinerarium
Exstaticum is one of Kircher's most curious works. It
is written in the form of a narrative, consisting of two
dialogues, in which a certain Theodidactus is caught up
in a dream journey and is guided through the heavens
by a spirit named Cosmiel. In the first dialogue,
Kircher recounts the journey to the moon, which he
finds scarred with mountains and craters, contrary to
the Aristotelian view. He flies on to Venus, which he
discovers is made of the four elements, and son on to
each of the other planets and through the region of the
fixed stars. In the second dialogue, he deals with the
creation of the earth, its position in the universe, its
various characteristics and limitations, and finally, its
eventual destruction. The second edition of 1660 was
prepared by Kircher's friend and disciple Gaspar Schott
[1608-1666].

VERY SCARCE. First edition, first issue (engraved
titles are dated 1664), of this famous and appealing
book; it "must always command a high place in the
literature as the first effort to describe the earth from
a physical standpoint." (Zittel, p. 25). This work is
concerned with geology, mineralogy, mining, astronomy,
chemistry, and physics. The first two books contain
a consideration of the center of gravity of the earth
and the form and constitution of the sun, moon, and
earth. Book III is devoted to hydrography and Book
IV to the earth's interior, volcanoes, and winds. Books
VI- VIII treat the earth's composition. Book X is
devoted to minerals and mining. It is in this book
that Kircher expressed for the first time the theory
that the temperature below the earth's surface increases
in proportion to depth. There are also sections on
distillation (with some fine illustrations of distillation
equipment) and glass-making.
Mundus Subterraneus is Kircher's textbok of the
physical sciences and is replete with illustrations. It
was Kircher's most broadly known work during his life-
time, and is the best known in ours. Many chapters
deal with geology, mineraology, mining and metallurgy.
But the work is not solely geologic. Kircher reports
many fantastic speculations about the interior of the
earth, its hidden lakes, its rivers of fire, and its strange
inhabitants. Major topics include gravity, the moon,
the sun, eclipses, ocean currents, subterranean waters
and fires, meteorology, rivers and lakes, hydraulics,
minerals and fossils, subterranean giants, beasts and
demons, poisons, metallurgy and mining, alchemy, the
universal seed and the generation of insects, herbs,
astrological medicine, distillation, and fireworks. In
this work he discloses his experience with palingenesis:
he had allegedly resuscitated a plant from its ashes.
Much of the work deals with alchemy. Kircher ridiculed
Paracelsus' belief in transmutation and discredits the
work of alchemists in general, complaining about the
obscurity of their writings. This diatribe brought him
vicious criticism and abuse later in life from alchemists
who no longer feared the authority of the Jesuit order.
In this book Kircher expressed for the first time the
theory that temperature below the earth's surface
increases in proportion to depth. Kircher's Mundus
subterraneus contains the first appearance in book form
of Eustachio Divini's (1610-1685) "Lunae Facies", a
moon map first published in 1649 in broadsheet as an
advertisement for the quality of his lenses.

Rare. "China, like Egypt, was to Kircher an
ancient and mysterious land, highly civilized, filled
with strange creatures and unimaginable marvels, and,
above all, having an origin and universality common
with all nations... China had been open to Christian
missionaries for only a few decades when Kircher, at
28, applied to go there. He was refused, but the
refusal only whetted his curiosity. Over the next 37
years he maintained a voluminous correspondence with
fellow Jesuits in China, gleaning all the information
he could from their letters and journals." Included in
the observations and materials Kircher received about
China were mineralogical specimens.

KIRWAN, Richard. (BORN: Cloughballymore, County
Galway, Ireland, 1733; DIED: Dublin, Ireland, 1
June 1812) Irish chemist, mineralogist, geologist &
meterologist.
In 1750, Kirwan enrolled with the Jesuits at the
University of Poitiers (France), but in 1755, upon death
of his brother, he returned to Ireland to inherit the family
estates. Kirwan frequently traveled to London, remaining
there ten years beginning in 1777. In London, his house
became a well known meeting place for those distinguished
Kirwan
by birth, position, or achievement in science. In 1787, he
returned to Ireland. Among the many societies Kirwan was
elected to were the Royal Irish Academy, of which he was an
original member and subsequently its president. In 1780,
he was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London,
which awarded him the Copley Medal in 1782. The mineral
"Kirwanite" was named for him by T. THOMSON in 1831.

VERY SCARCE. The first systematic mineralogy
in English that classifies minerals by their chemical
composition. In the preface, Kirwan deplores the
insignificant position that mineralogy holds in British
science. He contrasts this to the progress made in
Europe, especially Sweden, Germany and France. He
then presents his reasons for writing the work. Citing
that until recent advances in chemistry, mineralogy
had never had an adequate base on which a system of
classification could be founded, Kirwan discusses other
methods of classification. While describing these other
arrangements, he questions the merits of systems such
as Rome de l'Isle's based on crystal form and Werner's
based on external characters. He concludes that
mineralogy must be considered a branch of chemistry.
In this regard, Kirwan follows Cronstedt and uses
the later's basic classification, subjugating the mineral
species into Earths and Stones, Salts, Inflammables and
Metals, based upon the species' chemistry.
Kirwan copies from other author's in his mineral
descriptions but gives interesting notes that suggest he
duplicated the analyses of some species. He appends a
chapter to the first part of the work that describes in
some detail the procedures for determining analytically
a minerals chemistry. Later, several tables are provided
that give the results of many analyses. A table listing
the specific gravities of gemstones is also included.
The section of "Geological Observations" was of great
controversy among the geologists of the day.
Of particular historical interest to the properites
of minerals is a section on pages 171—73 proposing
a hardness scale for minerals. The original to this
was published in Stockholm by Bengt Andersson Quist
[q. v.] as "Försök pä en del Kisel arter och i synnerhet
de hårdare så kallade Akta stenar," Kong!. Swenska.
Wetenskaps Acad. Handlingar: 29 (1768), 55. This scale
of hardness slightly modified by Kirwan is the first to be
published in an English book. It is comprised of twenty
divisions ranging from chalk (3) to diamond (20).
Related work, 1799: Geological Essays. Besides his
mineralogical works, Kirwan also authored Geological
Essays (London, 1799) in which he vigourously opposed
James Hutton's geological theories.

VERY SCARCE. An enlarged and entirely rewritten
work based upon Wernerian theories. Kirwan the greatest
mineralogist in Ireland was called upon by the parliment
in 1792 to participate in a committee to purchase the
mineral collection of Nathanael Gottfried Leske [q.v.]. To
negotiate the matter he travelled to Germany where he met
and became a disciple of Abraham Gottlob Werner [q.v.].
Kirwan was so enthusiastic about Werner's theories, that
when he became involved in setting up the newly acquired
collection in Ireland, he arranged its specimens according
to his friend's ideas of classification. In the preface, Kirwan
states that it was this experience that allowed him to
write the the second edition of the Elements. The book's
considerable enlargement is due in no small matter to the
many more analyses and descriptions the author was able
to include because of his access of the Leskean minerals.
The arrangement of the text follows closely that of the first
editii ai.

VERY SCARCE. Translation by Francisco Campuzano
from Elémens de Minéralogie (Paris, 1785). This rare book
is the first work in Spanish dealing solely with the science
of mineralogy. In Campuzano 's notes, a case is made
for the study of the science. The translator suggests
that great knowledge and national prestige will be gained
from discovering how minerals interact with chemistry,
a question which then agitated the scientists of Kurope.
Following Kirwan, the mineral kingdom is divided into four
groups: earths and stones, salts, inflammable substances
and metallic substances. The principal characters of
each group are described together with the minerals that
belong to it. An Appendix contains a brief account
of geology and its principal phenomena, as well as a
short description of the blowpipe and its use which is
illustrated by the accompanying plate. That mineralogy
was in flux as a science is evident throughout the volume
from the translator's difficulty with dealing in the various
terminology.

RARE. Separate issue of a paper first published
in the Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy of
Science [See: 8 (1800), 53-76]. Kirwan was prompted to
author this article as a réponse to Guyton de Morveau's
attacks against his mineralogical terminology (Annales
de Chemie [See: 23 (1797), 103-4].
Kirwan being the leader of the old school of
chemistry became the lightning rod for attacks by
supports of the the new chemistry. Morveau, a man
Kirwan greatly admired, was an enthusiastic supporter
of Lavoiser's [q.v.] new chemistry and one of
the principal reformers of chemical and mineralogical
nomenclature. However, these attacks contributed to
Kirwan's growing disenchantment with chemistry and
mineralogy and eventually led to his retirement from
the studies.

RARE. Catalogue over the mineral collection
of Stora Kopparbergs mining company, that were
operating the copper mine at Falun. The collection
consist, it still exists, of four parts: the Bielke collection;
a collection of minerals and rocks from the copper
mine at Falun; a small collection of minerals from the
Grängesberg iron ore field; a less important collection
brought together by mine officials from abroad as well
as material from the mine at Falun. The collection
of count Nils Adam Bielke [1724-1792] is the most
important as it is the only complete private 18th
century mineral collection in Sweden (and maybe
the whole of Scandinavia) that is complete and not
dispersed within a larger collection. It was first donated
to the Adelfors goldworks but later transferred to
Falun by Bielkes widow. It consists of 7000 specimens
distributed over approximately 5300 no's of which 2/3
are minerals. [Entry by Johan Kjellman]

KJERULF, Theodor. (BORN: Christiania [now Oslo],
Norway, 30 March 1825; DIED: Christiania [now Oslo],
Norway, 25 October 1888) Norwegian mineralogist &
geologist.
Kjerulf was educated in the University at Christiania,
and subsequently studied at Heidelberg, working in
Bunsen's laboratory. In 1858 he became professor of
geology in the university of his native city, and he was
afterwards placed in charge of the geological survey of the
country, then established mainly through his influence. His
contributions to the geology of Norway were numerous and
important, especially in reference to the southern portion
of the country, and to the structure and relations of the
various rock structures and the glacial phenomena. His
principal results were embodied in his geological work
Udsigt over det sydlige Norges Geologi (Kristiania, 1879). He
also authored some poetical works.

of Berlin's Philosophical Faculty (1810-17). Klaproth
was the outstanding analytical chemist of his time, being
the discovery or co-discovery of the elements: zirconium
(1789), uranium (1789), titanium (1792), strontium (1793),
chromium (1797) and cerium (1803). He also confirmed
thi' previous discoveries of tellurium (1798) and beryllium
(1798). He was influential in spreading A. Lavosier's
theories throughout Germany, and earning him the
description, "Father of analytical chemistry." Klaproth
also pioneered the application of chemistry to archaeology.
Among many memberships in 1795 he was elected a Fellow
of the Royal Society and in 1804 a foreign associate of
the Institute of France. The discredited mineral species
"Klaprothite" and "Klaprotholite" was named for him in
1811 and 1872.

KLAPROTH, Martin Heinrich. (BORN: Wernigerode,
Germany, 1 December 1743; DIED: Berlin, Germany, 1
January 1817) German apothecary & chemist.
Klaproth was the third son of a tailor. In 1759, he
was apprenticed to a Quedlinburg apothecary. In 1766,
he moved to Hannover, then in 1768 to Berlin, where he
managed the apothecary shop of the deceased Valentin
Rose the Elder. In 1780, using his wife's dowry, he
purchased his own apothecary shop. In 1782, Klaproth was
named to the Prussian medical board, and he successively
moved through the bureaucracy as assessor (1782-97),
councilor (1797-99), and high councilor (1799-1817). He
had teaching posts that included: private lecturer at the
2690. English, 1787.

VERY SCARCE. Translated by John Gottlieb
Groschke. This treatise by the greatest German chemist
of his time, deals with the chemical analysis of tin
and copper ores from Cornwall, England. Although
originally published as an article (see: Schriftteller der
Gesellschaft für Naturforscher in Berlin, 7, 1786), the
thoroughness of the study was considered important
enough to have this English translation prepared. It is
based on research done in cooperation with the English
geologist, John Hawkins, who supplied samples of the
ores. Using these specimens, Klaproth preformed many
chemical experiments, and the descriptions of his tests
together with their results makeup the content of the
book. The frontispiece illustrates various specimens of
wood tin (cassiterite).

VERY SCARCE. The index contained in volume
5 covers the previous volumes. Klaproth expressed
doubt that the publication would continue; however,
the rare sixth volume, which is not present with many
copies appeared in 1815. It was issued as a supplement
to the previous volumes and contains its own index.
Throughout his professional life, Klaproth published
a large number of chemical researches, mostly in the
field of analytic chemistry. These studies were based
in large measure on thorough examination of various
mineral species. The labratory techniques shown off
in these studies were far in advance of their time,
as is evident by the several new elements Klaproth
discovered and the accuracy of the anaylses, which
are comparable to present standards. Periodically,
Klaproth would collect his papers together, and publish
them together in Beiträge zur chemische Kenntniss
der Mineralkörper. These volumes must, therefore, be
considered one of the greatest works in chemical and
deter minitive mineralogy ever published.

SCARCE. Based upon comments in the American
Journal of Science reviews, this single volume was
distributed in two parts. The first consisted of pages
1-208 appeared in 1875, while the second incorporating
pages 209-393 appeared in 1876.
EDWARD S. DANAreviewing the work wrote Klein
"develops the subject of Crystallography from the
standpoint of Quenstedt, according to whom the
relations of the planes of a crystal are shown by the
lines in which they are projected upon a given plane of
projection. He does not confine himself to the somewhat
unwieldy formulas of Quenstedt, however, but makes
all calculations of axial relations and parameters by
means of spherical triangles in the manner employed
by von Kobell. The author has worked out with
much care and completeness the solutions of the various
problems which arise, and accompanies each with an
example performed in full, so the student cannot fail to
comprehend the method." Reviewing the second part,
Dana continues, "The present part includes a detailed
description of the methods of calculation applicable
to the monoclinic, triclinic, and hexagonal systems,
the whole being characterized by the same clearness
and thoroughness to which attention was before called.
A chapter upon the drawing of crystals forms the
conclusion of the work.

VERY SCARCE. This is the first appearance of a
popular series of textbooks of mineralogy that would
continue to be revised and expanded through other
editors and authors to the present day, becoming known
simply as Klockmann 's Lehrbuch. The basic themes of
the science typical of all great textbooks are covered,
including crystallography, the physics of minerals and
chemical properties. The second part is a descriptive
mineralogy. The work became widely used in the
German education system.

RARE. By the late nineteenth century, chemistry
and mineralogy were considered two distinct studies,
although earlier in their history they were considered
one and the same. Mineralogy had developed into a
study of the materials, characteristics, properties and
chemistry of various objects that naturally form part
of the earth's crust. Using this image, Knop did not
think minerals belonged to a special class of materials,
but should in fact be treated as objects of general
inorganic chemistry. He therefore called his mineralogy
"Anorgranographie" and wrote a textbook on the
subject that he titled, System the Anorganographie
(Leipzig, 1876). In this work, he gives a classification
of minerals together with all the chemical elements
known at the time, as well as some naturally occurring
organic compounds. Although this volume does propose
a mineral system based on chemistry, it is so mixed
with the other materials Knop includes as to be almost
unrecognizable.

paleontologist & naturalist.
Knorr was a palaeontologist, painter, engraver and
art dealer in the scientific center of Nuremburg. He made
exceptional engraved portraits, landscapes and animal
studies after Dürer that are today valued for their accuracy.
Knorr is considered a protogeologist intermediate between
collectors of natural history objects and those who first
used fossils for identification and mapping of stratigraphie
succession. But his renown is for the detailed and accurate
scientific copper plates he created and used to illustrate the
many works on natural history and paleontology authored
by himself and others.

RARE. First appearance of this magnificently
illustrated and popular natural history book. The
work's purpose was to accurately describe and
show the contents of a typical private museum
or 'Wunderkammer' of the time. A descriptive
text in German was prepared by Philipp Ludwig
Statius Muller [see note below] and it describes each
rendered specimen, including anecdotes and interesting
observations but little true science. A long list of
citations to naturalists of the 16th to 18th centuries is
given in the preliminaries, including Linneaus' Systema
Naturae, which is not followed. To appeal the book to a
wider market, Knorr incorporated a French translation
of the text by Mathieu Verdier de La Blaquière [7-1769]
into parallel columns within the book. However, the
lasting value and desirability of the book are the 91
truly magnificent folio size hand-colored engraved plates
showing a wide variety of specimens, including corals,
shells, butterflies, minerals, metals, spiders, fish, birds,
animals and reptiles. These plates prepared under
Knorr's supervision are among his finest productions at

Knorr.
a time when Knorr was perhaps the leading publisher
of such plates. Often it is said that the beauty of these
illustrations exceeds that of the models, which is why
copies of this work are frequently broken.
This is true of the six mineralogical plates that
are among the best representations of hand-colored
mineral illustrations ever produced. A total of about
seventy specimens are rendered, including a fine azurite,
whose intense blue color is derived from the inclusion of
crushed lapis lazuli in the pigment and a large hematite
spike that was illustrated several times in other books
over the next two centuries.
In the 18th century, Nuremberg became a
leading center in the publication of finely illustrated
natural history books. This was due in large part
to the influence of J. Trew, a wealthy Nuremberg
physician, who gathered around him leading scientists
and artists. Trew's natural history cabinet and
menagerie stimulated others in his circle to build their
own collections, and it is from this source material
that Knorr has drawn upon to illustrate the Delicias
Naturas Selectas. This is indicated on the plates by
text indicating from which collection the illustrated
specimens were obtained. Trew is mentioned many
times but so are P.L.S. Muller, D. Schadelock and Knorr
himself.
Bibliographically, the Delecias was originally
published in two parts. The first appeared in 1754 with
38 plates, including an additional engraved title page
dated that year. In 1766, the second part containing
the reaming 53 plates appeared. This has caused some
bibliographers to suggest the work made two separate
appearances, 1754 and 1766. However, this is not the
case.

1750 to 1762, he returned to Vienna, where he opened
a successful medical practice, in 1762, he made a trip
of scientific discovery through Holland and France, and
was named in 1763 ordinary professor of medicine and
anatomy at the University of Erlangen. He authored many
publications, but nothing that is considered a great work
He also translated many German publications into French

KOBELL, Franz Wolfgang Ritter von. (Born:
Munich, Germany, 19 July 1803; DIED: Munich,
Germany, 11 November 1882) German mineralogist &
poet.
From 1820 to 1823, Kobell studied chemistry and
mineralogy at the University of Landshut. In 1826 he
was appointed professor of mineralogy at the University
of Munich. There he introduced new methods of mineral
analysis, and in 1855 invented the stauroscope for studying
the optical properties of crystals. Sometime before January
1839 he invented a process for fixing images of the camera
obscura on paper coated with chloride of silver which led
to the development of photography. Kobell described many
new mineral species. But today, he is best remembered as

VERY SCARCE. This is Kobell's first major work
in mineralogy, and it gives detailed descriptions of
the characteristics used to distinguish minerals from
one another. Emphasis is placed on the physical
properties including discussions of crystallography,
hardness, color, luster, etc. The section on descriptive
mineralogy arranges the species according to the Mohs
system of classification.

Rare. First edition of a very popular work that
provides a series of tables showing the characteristics for
frequently encountered mineral species, and that can be
utilized in determining an unknown mineral. Included
are physical properties, such as color, streak, fracture,
etc. and chemical makeup, such as behavior before the
blowpipe, reactions to acids, etc. Many students in
the universities of Germany and abroad faithfully used
these tables in their mineral species determination. As
an indicator of the text's usefulness, it went through
17 German editions and was translated into French,

Oebbeke's Stewardship
In 1882 after the death of Kobell, authorship of the Tafeln
transferred to Konrad Oebbeke. Oebbeke [1853-1 Febr.
1932] was professor of mineralogy and geology at the
Technical High School of Munich from 1895 to 1927. He was
a competent mineralogist who continued to update the text
writing the final six editions until the last issue appeared
in 1921.

RARE. Kobell's enlargement of Berzelius' system
which classified minerals according to their chemical
composition. In this important work, Kobell expands
the chemical analyses of minerals in new directions.
It is based upon the newest discoveries in mineralogy,
especially the work carried on by THOMAS THOMSON in
Outlines of Mineralogy, Geology and Mineral Analysis
(2 vols., London, 1836), as well as Kobell's own
researches. He utilizes the theories of Naumann in
crystallization. He ignores species about which their
chemical composition is not known.

VERY SCARCE. An attempt to set mineralogical
nomenclature into a common system. The author
divides the subject into names derived from: 1.
Greek and German mythology, 2. mineralogists and
friends of mineralogy, 3. localities, 4. crystallization
and structure, 5. color, 6. physical properties such
as hardness, specific gravity, luster, etc., 7. chemical
composition and reaction, 8. peculiarities, uses or
allusions and 9. unknown or questionable origin. After
discussing the importance of a universal nomenclature
for different countries, Kobell gives several rules for
naming minerals. For example, names derived from
persons or localities should be written according to their
original orthography, and not altered for each different
language. Greek should be preferred over Latin, and the
first name given a species should be preserved only when
it adheres to these principles. The author commanded
great authority in mineralogy, and many of the species
names he suggested or endorsed are still in use today.

VERY SCARCE. Among the best histories of
mineralogy is Kobell's treatment of its progress from
1650 to 1860. The book is divided into two parts.
The first of these is divided into three sections. The
first section, covering the years 1650 to 1750, includes
the period when mineralogy was first beginning to
emerge as a true scientific discipline; the second
section, extending from 1750 to 1800, examines the
advances in chemistry, physics and crystallography that
altered the course of mineralogy; the third section
describes the years from 1800 to 1860 when methods
of modern scientific investigation were applied. In
each of these sections the author examines separately
the physical, chemical, and systematic divisions of the
science. In the final section, 1800 to 1860, there
are further subdivisions into crystallography, optics,
electricity, hardness, specific gravity, nomenclature, and
magnetism. The second half of the book chronicles the
history of about 200 individual mineral species. For
each mineral listed, the time, the story of its discovery,
together with many additional details, are given. An
index to the described mineral species is included at
the end; however, the book, published as number two
of a 24 volume series about the history of science, was
probably rushed into publication, which would explain
why no comprehensive index to the history section is
included.

KOKSHAROV, Nicolai Ivanovich von. (BORN: Ust-
Kamenogorsk, Tomsk, Russia, 23 November 1818;
DIED: St. Petersburg, Russia, 2 January 1893) Russian
mineralogist, crystallographer & major-general in the
Russian mining corps.
KOKSHAROV
Koksharov was born into a family of mine engineers.
Hence he was educated at St. Petersburg Military School of
Mines (today the St. Petersburg Mining Institute), 1830-40.
Being the outstanding student, he selected to accompany
Murchison and De Verneuil, and afterwards De Keyserling
in their extensive geological surveys of the Russian empire,
1840-41. From these travels Koksharov became interested
in mineralogy, and most particularly Russian species.
Traveling extensively throughout Europe, he made the
acquaintance of many distinguished mineralogists, notably
C.S. WEISS and G. ROSE in Germany and W.H. MILLER in
England. Koksharov had a distinguished career, becoming
director of the Imperial Mineralogical Society of St.
Petersburg, 1865-92 and director of the St. Petersburg
Mining Institute of Mines, 1872-81. He also held
membership in some sixty Russian and foreign scientific
societies. Koksharov's private collection of minerals
consisting of about 3,250 specimens and particularly rich
in Siberian species, was purchased by the British Museum
of Natural History in 1865.

The bibliography of this Russian edition is difficult
because of the rarity of the work. Contrary to what
Sinkankas (1993) states this Russian edition did not
exceed volume five as a separate publication, and
contrary to what Grigor'ev &c Shafranovskii (1949)
state volume six did not appear as a separate volume.
Instead it made an appearance as an article in the
Gornoi Zhurnal. In addtion the plates are numbered I-
LXXVII. In the copy examined, plates LXXV-LXXVII
were bound in at the end of volume five and not included
in the Atlas proper. Page SIZE: 225 x 148 mm.

VERY RARE. This is perhaps the finest
topographical mineralogy published in the nineteenth
century and certainly one of the most important
to ever appear. Koksharov was a pioneer of a
new progressive line of thought concerning descriptive
mineralogy. He firmly believed that substituting
accurate crystallographic values, chemical analysis and
physical studies for the simple mineral descriptions used
until that time, would greatly advance mineralogical
studies. This is the method he used in this work,
still the best reference for studing crystallized Russian
minerals.
Originally, the text for these volumes appeared in
Russian as a series of articles published in the Gornoi
Zhurnal. Each article dealt with a single mineral species
and included meticulous notes on associations and
crystal forms. The descriptions give all the pertinent
information, including listings of all the known Russian
localities. There are also long lists of exterior angles
all meticulously measured with a reflecting goniometer
by the author. Today, these measurements are still
considered to be extremely reliable. Complementing
the measurements are exquisite crystal illustrations
in orthorhombic projection, all drawn by Koksharov.
The crystal drawings are seemingly always complete,
perfect and extremely complex. After enough articles
had appeared, they were collected together to form
individual volumes of Materiafy dlia Mineralogii Rossii.
A consequence of this procedure is, however, that there
is no apperent order of presentation within the compiled
volumes.
This work appeared sirniltaneously in two editions.
The Russian edition as described is very rare in
complete sets, even within Russia. Perhaps as an
indication of a lack of interest in the continuation of
the Russian edition, it ceased publication as separate
volumes with number five. However, the German
edition, described in the next entry, had greater
popularity outside Russia, and continued publication
for an another twenty years and comprises an additional
six volumes.

PLATES: The plates of the atlas are numbered I-
LXXXVII. They each show crystal drawings, most complex
with their faces labelled. Most of the plates are unsigned;
however, those few that are not blank are signed either
C. Kray, A. Münster or Jvanson sculp. Plates LXXXIII—
LXXXVII are signed in Cyrillic type.
RARE. Translation by Koksharov of Materiaiy dlia
Mineralogii Rossii (6 vols., St. Petersburg, 1852-70). This
German edition, typically lagged behind the Russian
original by about a year on each volume. However,
beginning with volume seven the text was translated
directly from the articles appearing in the Gornoi Zhurnal.
This translation contains the same illustrations and plates
as the original, and is the most commonly seen edition
outside of Russia, and perhaps may have had a larger
edition. Because publication of this edition was spread over
nearly forty years, this work is extremely rare in complete
copies.

VERY SCARCE. No more published. Issued
as the first part of a proposed series of lessons
in general mineralogy, the present volume examines
crystallography, by illustrating the subject with
numerous figures, reproduced from the authors great
Materialien zur Mineralogie Russlands (11 vols.,
St. Petersburg, 1853-91), and simple, thorough
explanations. The chapter on the irregularities of
crystals is particularly complete and is made up largely
of the results of his own crystallographic researches.
It contains extended tables of measurements of a
considerable number of species; and is illustrated by
many woodcuts.

KONRAD VON MEGENBERG. (Born: Megenburg
(or Mainberg), near Schweinfurt, Germany, 2 February
1309; DlED: Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany, 14 April
1374) German scientist, theologian & historian.
The dates of birth and death are not absolutely
certain, and Konrad himself calls his native place
Megenberg. His father was probably a bailiff or overseer
in the old castle of Mainberg. Conrad studied liberal arts
in Erfurt, and then went to Paris, where he became a
magister and studied and taught theology and philosophy.
He remained in Paris from 1329 to 1337, then he went to
Vienna where he was director of the St. Stephan School.
In 1342, he transvered to Ratisbon (Regensburg), where
he became a parish priest, then a canon of the cathedral.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. Printed at
the Augsburg press of Johann Bämler [see note below].
Konrad composed this work in 1349-51 as a free
translation of the De Natura. Rerum of Thomas of
Cantimpré, althought Konrad thought the source text
to be the product of Albertus Magnus' youth. It was
apparently a popular early book around Augsburg, the
city where all the incunabula editions were published.
The Latin text is reordered somewhat in this German
version, with some original material added.
Das Buch der Natur is divided as follows:
I. Von dem Menschen in seiner gemainen Nature,
50 chapters, describes human anatomy, physiology
and interpretation of character from physical signs
and dreams. II. Von den Himeln und von den
siben Planeten, 33 chapters, descibes astronomy and
meterology. III. Von den Tiern in ainer Gemain
describes animals in general, including 69 chapters on
quadrepeds, 72 on birds, 20 on the creatures of the sea
(e.g., crocidile, seal, dolphin, hippopotamus, sirens), 29
on fishes, 37 on snakes, 31 on "worms" (i.e., insects,
toads, frogs, snails, leeches, spiders, earthworms). IV.
Von den Paumen, 84 chapters, describes trees. V.
Von den Kräutern, 89 chapters, describes plants and
herbs. VI. Von den edlen Stainen, 86 chapters, describes
precious stones. VII. Von dem Gesrnaid, 10 chapters,
on various metals, including gold, silver, Gunderfai
(electrum), copper, tin, lead, and iron, quicksilver,
orpiment, and sulphur. VIII. Von den wunderleichen
Prunnen, describes the wonderful properties of streams
and waters and with human monstrosities. At the
beginning of each book is an introduction describing
the various classes.
Johann Bämler. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German printer.
Bämler is known to have been in Rome at Christmas of
1450. He is also known as a scribe and rubicator as early
as 1453 [Gutenberg- Jahrbuch, 1928, pp. 105 &c 106]. His
earliest book with a precise date was completed on the 22
April 1472 and his last was finished on the 13 April 1495.

History
Kopp
Kopp was a pupil of Leopold Gmelin [1788-1853]
and Justus Liebig [1803-1873]. He became professor of
chemistry at Giessen and Heidelberg in 1863. He is
best remembered for his Geschichte der Chemie (4 vols.,
Braunschweig, 1843-7). In his researches, Kopp worked
to deduce a relationship between the physical properties,
the molecular weights and the chemical composition of
compounds. In 1849, with Liebig, he founded the
important journal, Jahresbericht der Chemie.

VERY SCARCE. Kopp, a German chemist at
the University of Heidelberg, is best known for his
work on physical chemistry and crystallography and
publications on the history of chemistry. Prepared as a
result of teaching courses in crystallography Kopp was
able to prepare his Einleitung in die Krystallographie
(Introduction to Crystallography), a well-known text
on this subject. It is an introductory mathematical
treatise of crystallography for students of chemistry and
mineralogy and is now considered a classic work on
the subject. The first section is an introduction that
discusses the basics of crystallography, including axes,
systems, crystal physics and crystal chemistry. Each
of the seven crystal systems is then described in great
detail. Kopp gives the description and measurement of
the angles of a large number of natural and artificial
crystals. The atlas includes several plates, especially
noted for their cut-out folding crystal models, which
were used to craft examples of crystals.

History
Krantz
Krantz studied "Geognosie" at the Freiberg Berga-
kademie earning a Ph.D. In 1833, he founded in Freiberg
the "Mineralien-Geschäft von Krantz" (Krantz' Mineral
Shop). In 1837, he moved the firm to Berlin, and in 1850,
he reestablished the company in Bonn, changing its name
to "Rheinisches Mineralien Comptoir." In 1841, Krantz
made the first geological map of Elba, Italy, and in 1866,
he purchased the mineral business of the Paris dealer, Sae-
mann. By July 1847 Krantz was able to claim in an adver-
tising brochure that he had 750 different mineral species
in stock with between 2500 and 3000 varieties and locali-
ties represented. In addition, various rock types and fossils
could also be suppled. Krantz' personal mineral collection
of about 14,000 specimens was acquired by the University
of Bonn in 1872.
The Krantz mineral dealing firm survives to the cur-
rent time. After the founder Adam August died in 1872,
his son-in-law, Captain Theodor Hoffmann managed the
company for 16 years, but he knew nothing of mineralogy.
In 1888, the son of the founder, the mineral dealer and
crystallographer FRIEDRICH LUDWIG ROBERT KRANTZ, took
over management of the firm. Under his leadership the
firm of Krantz became famous worldwide. He died in 1926.
His wife Olga and nephew Fritz took over the business.
Olga operated the firm through World War II by trading
goods for specimens. Fur example, sewing material for fos-
sil cronoids. The nephew, Fritz Krantz, managed the firm
from 1948 until 1974. His interests were primarily palaeon-
to logical. His daughter, Renate Krantz, who had a degree
in geology, managed the firm from 1974 until her death in
1995. In turn her daughter, Ursula Müller-Krantz manages
the firm to the present time.

is aimed to present the essential factors of geometrical
crystallography, from the standpoint of symmetry.
Each of the thirty-two possible classes of symmetry are
described, even though several of the classes have never
been observed in the mineral kingdom. No treatment on
the projection or measurement of crystals is given, and
no theories of structural crystallography are provided.
However, the text is heavily illustrated to enforce points
described in the text. Overall this is one of the best
beginner texts ever published in crystallography.

SCARCE. An excellent and popular textbook
of mineralogical science that includes nuggets of
historical perspective. Illustrations, particularly in
the crystallography section show line drawings and
photographic reproductions of wooden crystal models
to depict the various crystal forms. A flaw in the text is
the nonexistence of any bibliography or citation to older
literature, which distinguished the textbook of Edward
Dana.
One of the best textbooks in English. Treats
crystallography, properties, polarizing microscope
techniques, genesis, blowpiping, descriptions, precious
stones, glossary, etc. Tables for the determination of
150 minerals by physical properties, occurrences and

museum curator.
Krefft attended St Martin's College, Brunswick,
in 1834-45 and then worked in a mercantile firm in
Halberstadt. In 1850 he migrated to the United States
and in November 1852 reached Victoria, Australian. He
worked in various goldfields until 1857 when he went on an
expedition to the Lower Murray and Darling Rivers. He
built a large natural history collection and was employed
by the National Museum, Melbourne, to catalogue it. He
eventually was appointed curator of the museum. Theft of
several gold specimens in 1873 led to his dismissal, however.
Subsequent legal action, forced Krefft into bankruptcy.

KREUTZ, Stefan. (BORN: Lwow, Poland, 6 June
1883; DIED: Krakow, Poland, September 1941) Polish
mineralogist, crystallographer & petrologist.
Kreutz was the son of Szczçsny Kreutz, who had been
professor of mineralogy at the University of Krakow. He
was educated at the University of Vienna under F. Becke,
and in 1908 he worked under H.A. MlERS on the parallel
growth of crystals. Afterwards, he became assistant to
J. MOROZEWICZ professor of mineralogy at the University
of Krakow, succeeding him in 1919. Eventually, Kreutz
was appointed director of the Mineralogical Institute of the
Jagiellonian University, Krakow. His research was related
to the relationship between optical properties and chemical
composition, twinned crystals, and the amphibole group.
He also wrote on Polish minerals and rocks. In 1941, under
the German occupation of Poland, Kreutz with the other
professors of the University was executed.

EXTREMELY RARE. In a work meant to be useful
to mineral collectors, Krikende classifies the minerals
and fossils according to Vogel's system as outlined in
Practisches Mineralsystem (Leipzig, 1762). The species
are arranged into classes and their subdivisions, and are
printed in rows on one side of every page, so that they
could be cut apart and affixed to the specimens. At the
end are 4 leaves of numbers (1-1992) that could also be
cut apart and afixed to specimens.

Kunckel's father was a master glassmaker (as the
family had been for a couple of centuries) and some kind
of chemical analyst and alchemist in the service of duke
Friederich of Holstein. He had no university education. He
was taught glassmaking and the chemistry of glassmaking
by his father and other glassworkers. He learned the

VERY RARE. Kunckel recognized the presence of
sulfur in cinnabar but overlooked it as a component
of other common sulfide minerals. Kunckel wrote
primarily on inorgranic chemistry and he was important
in the discovery of phosphorus.
Translations: Partington lists a number of translations
that need to be researched.

Rare. A collected edition of the author's
alchemical and chemical works compiled after his death
by J.C. Engelleder, a physician who had a practice
in Hamburg. It is a famous chemical handbook,
perhaps the most important work in the German
school of the second half of the the seventeenth
century. Partington (2, 361-77) gives a bibliographical
account with commentary to the many references to the
discoveries contained in this book, including as it does
"an interesting account of the large laboratory ('gold
house') in Dresden, as big as a church, with furnaces and
tall chimneys, of the old manuscripts, and of the harsh
treatment of former alchemists who failed to achieve
results."
Other editions: 1722, 1738 and 1767.

KUNDMANN
KUNDMANN, Johann Christian. (Born: Breslau,
Germany, 26 October 1684; DIED: Breslau, Germany,
11 May 1751) German physician.
Kundmann studied medicine and mathematics at
the Universities of Frankfurt an der Oder and at Halle.
Afterward he made an extensive scientific excursion
throughout Germany and Holland. In 1708, he established
a medical practice in Breslau, and eventually was named a
medical official for the city of Breslau. He was among the
first to collect comprehensive medical statistics of births
and causes of death. He held membership in the Leopoldino
Academiae.

KUNZ
KUNZ, George Frederick. (Born: New York City,
New York, U.S.A., 29 September 1856; DlED: New
York City, New York, U.S.A., 29 June 1932) American
gemologist.
Kunz was the son of immigrant parents. At the
age of ten his family moved to Hoboken, New Jersey,
where he attended the public schools. Being poor, he
was unable to afford college, however, Kunz taught himself
enough mineralogy that he was able to secure in 1879 a
position at the famous jewelry manufacturer, Tiffany &c
Company. He remained with the firm until his death,
rising to vice president and finally trustee. He was highly
successful in locating American sources of gems to be used
in Tiffany's jewelry designs, and this brought him the
honorary position of special agent of precious stones for the
United States Geological Survey (1883 to 1909). Among
many honors, Kunz was a founder and president of the
New York Mineralogical Club. In 1903, a pink variety of
the gem mineral spodumene was named "Kunzite" in his
honor.

over the continent. These were the same people
that supplied local information for inclusion in Kunz's
annual contribution to the Minerai Resources of the
U.S., for which Kunz wrote the "precious stones"
chapters for many years. In addition, being a vice
president of the famous jewelry firm of Tiffany &¿
Co. Kunz actively encouraged the exploitation of
gem deposits and stood ready to purchase recovered
material to financially assist such ventures. While much
of the contained information has been augmented or
improved upon in intervening years, the unique nature
and value of this work is unquestioned and it is still
of value today. The handsome colored lithographic
plates included in this book together with those found in
Hamlin's tourmaline monographs are among the finest
chromolithographie plates of minerals ever produced in
the United States.

VERY SCARCE. Kurr prepared this work as
both a text book and reference work to mineralogy.
It begins by defining the purpose and use of
the science and giving reasons why it should be
studied. The first part describes Oryktognosie or the
physical and chemical characters of minerals, including
crystallography, fracture, cleavage, hardness, specific
weight, transparency, color, etc. This is followed by
a systematic mineralogy that divides the species into:
combustible minerals that don't contain metals, which
are then divided by organic versus inorganic origins,
minerals that contain "light" metals, including the
precious stones, epidote, tourmaline, etc., and minerals
that contain "dark" metals, including rutile, tantalite,
wolframite, zincite, etc. A long section describing
Geognosie follows the desciptive mineralogy. An index
concludes the work.

SCARCE. This finely illustrated volume is divided
into two sections. The first is the introduction which
covers the forms of minerals and crystals, hardness,
specific gravity, properties dependent on light and color,
electricity, magnetism, and heat, chemical relations and
a table of chemical elements. The remainder of the
text is devoted to special or descriptive mineralogy.
Here the various species and mineral groups are
described. These include precious stones, hornblende or
augite minerals, felspathic minerals, zeolithic minerals,
micaceous minerals, calcareous minerals, compounds of
baryta, compounds of strontia, salts of potash, salts of
soda, salts of magnesia, salts of ammonia, combustible
minerals, and metallic minerals or ores.
The hand-colored plates, prepared for this first
edition, were sold by the publisher to other distribution
houses throughout Europe. These were used to issue
translations of this popular "coffee-table" book in
English (1859) and French (1859). A decade later, after
chromolithography had become available to produce
realistic colored illustrations by a cheaper method, the
publisher had the plates redone. These new plates
are easily identifiable with the absence of the word
"Tab." from the top of each plate. The publisher
then issued many subsequent editions and variants of
the basic work in German. These included several
editions prepared by ADOLF KENNGOTT after Kurr's
death. In addition, the chromolithographs were sold
by the publisher to firms in other countries, where
the rather simple text was translated into the native
language, issued with the German plates and a new
mineralogical work published. As a result, a multitude
of translations, some with multiple editions appeared
causing a bibliographical knot. The following entries
will hopefully provide guidance on the known editions.

La Taille studied the humanities in Paris under Muret
and law at Orleans. He was a Huguenot, but later
converted to a mild Catholicism. Wounded in a military
action in 1570, he retired to his estate at Bondaroy. There
he began his writing career with political pamplets. Today,
he is remembered for his dramas and comedies.

Rare. This very early topographical study
contains mostly descriptions and good woodcut
illustrations of the fossils and minerals discovered by
the author in the area around Hildesheim, Germany
and then held in his personal collection. The text
illustrations and the folding plates figure various objects
from this collection, including crinoid stems, crystals,
and an Egyptian sarcophagus. Gatterer notes this is
the first use of now obsolete term "Oryktographia"
that was used through out the eighteenth century as
a synonym for mineralogy. It is invoked in Greek on
the title page as "0РУКТ0ГРАФ1А" . This is also the
first book describing the mineral species found within
a single geographical region and therefore it may be
considered the first topographical mineralogy (at least
the compiler knows of no other earlier work!).

VERY SCARCE. Based on several previous French
mineralogists as well as Lacroix's own researches, this
series concerning France and its colonies is among the
best of topographical mineralogies. In each volume after
the introduction, the individual minerals are arranged
according to a chemical classification. Through Lacroix
personal researches he was able to add a great many
new mineral species to those already known.

SCARCE. With the aid of the provincial governor,
General Galliéni, Lacroix was able to arrange the
methodical collection of specimens throughout locations
in the island of Madagascar by using civil servants,
military chiefs, correspondents of the Natural History
Museum in Paris, etc.
A classic work in the category of regional
mineralogies is this set devoted to the Island of
Madagascar. The work consists of six parts. The
first of these (vol. 1, pp. 1-148) describes the geology
and geography of Madagascar. The second (vol. 1,
pp. 149-604) is a descriptive mineralogy of the island
which lists the 195 species known to occur, together
with information on occurrences, analyses and optical
determinations. Included in this section are 27
photographic plates, 504 crystal drawings and a large
map of the island. The third part treats economic
mineralogy (vol. 2, pp. 1-218). Described here are
all substances that are mined on the island for profit,
including precious metals, common metals, graphite,
salt, mica, etc. Twenty— three of the plates as well
as a number of sketch maps serve as illustrations.
Lithology is covered in the fourth part (vol. 2, pp. 219-
665). It includes descriptions of intrusives crystalline
massif, the schistose rocks, as well as the pegmatites.
A number of plates illustrate thin sections of the rocks.
Volume three continues and concludes the fourth part,
devoting pages 1-90 to Lithology. The alteration of the
rocks to latérite and red earth is described in part five
(vol. 3, pp. 91-149), and part six (vol. 3, pp. 150-294)
considers the mutual relationships of the rocks, citing
comparisons with similar rocks in other parts of the
world. Appendices to all three volumes occur after part
six on pages 295-334. This is followed by a bibliography
(pp. 335-350), and geographic and subject indices (pp.
351-431), which conclude the volume.

VERY SCARCE. An amazing compilation of
biographies of French scientists, who turn out to be
mostly naturalists, geologists and mineralogists. The
articles are long, in-depth reviews of the life and work
of the subject, which is usually richly illustrated with
portraits and examples of their correspondence and
signatures. The last two volumes, which deal with
scientists who worked in French colonies around the
world, appear to be especially difficult to acquire.
Among the people covered are Georges Cuvier, Marcelin
Berthelot, Déodat Dolomieu, Michel Adanson, and
Louis Pasteur.

In 1785, Lampadius was apprenticed to a Göttingen
apothecary, but his interest in natural history caused him
to enroll in the local University in 1791. In 1795, on the
death of C.E. Gellert, he was named professor of chemistry
at the Freiberg Bergakademie. He traveled a great deal,
including a lengthy trip to Russia.

Rare. Gives details of the equipment necessary
for the analysis of minerals, as well as instructions for
their use. It also describes various analytical methods,
giving a list of reagents. The analysis of individual
minerals is then described.
Lampadius' methods are generally as good as
Klaproth's, and there are portions of the book that
foreshadow textbooks of a later period. For example,
it contains a detailed list of equipment and apparatus
required for analysis, as well as instructions for their
use. In the introduction a long passage describes the
preparation of the necessary reagents, and methods
for testing their purity. Szabadváry (1966) says
these "descriptions are the earliest record of standard
methods used for testing the purity of analytical grade
reagents and in many cases are very similar to present
day methods."

pseudomorphs. The work is then divided into two
large parts. The first covers mineral pseudomorphs
and contains sections on mineral casts (pp. 8—24) and
mineral metamorphosis through chemical exchange (pp.
25-245). The second part (pp. 246-343) describes the
chemical transformation that occurs to create petrified
wood and fossilized bones and plants. Incorporated
within the body of the text are all references to
pseudomorphs that the author discovered conducting
a systematic review of both German and foreign
mineralogical literature.

RARE. One of the earliest studies of Swiss
mineralogy and paleontology, this work describes the
figured stones, minerals and fossils of the country.
Lang was an aggressive collector who amassed a
large collection of natural history objects found
in his native land. These formed his "Museum
Lucernense Langianum" which included preserved
plants, animals and birds, as well as a large component
of mineralogical objects, t 1 ! In this work Lang provides
original descriptions of many of them.
For this work, Lang choose his best specimens for

illustration. Lang was a proponent of the formation
of fossils within the rocks. He believed that the fossils
had developed from moist seed-bearing vapors which
had risen from the seas and entered into the earth's
strata and strongly argued against the diluvialists that
fossils were the result of the " Great Flood" . Lang's
fossil descriptions and theories were used by Beringer in
his ill-fated 1726 work "Lithographie Wurceburgensis" .
The beautifully engraved title frontispiece page drawn
by the artist Besutius and engraved by Blancus shows
a collection of mineral and fossil cabinets. The plates
illustrate minerals, fossil vertebrates and invertebrates,
and fossil plants.
Hoover 505; Ward &c Carozzi 1321. A very scarce
work on the minerals and fossils of Switzerland. In
1735 a small supplement with 10 pages and 1 plate
was published. Lang was one of the last authors
who believed in the direct origin of the fossils in the
rocks and particularly argued against the conception
of the diluvialists that fossils were animals destroyed
by the Flood. "Lang's fossil descriptions were used
and his theories discussed by Beringer, and Lang is
said to have been a colleague of Scheuchzer. Yet the
closeness of the relationship with Scheuchzer is open to
question since the latter was a diluvialist" (D. S. B. VIII,
p. 4). The beautifully engraved frontispiece drawn by
Ambrosius Besutius and engraved by Paulus Blancus
shows a geological cabinet, containing minerals and
fossils. "The physician and senator Karl Lang (1670-
1741) established his 'Museum Lucernense Langianum',
in Lucerne; it contained mostly minerals and fossils. In
1858 it was purchased by the Natural History Museum
of Lucerne" (Wilson. The History of Mineral Collecting
p. 119). The plates show minerals, fossil plants, fishes,
a human skeleton, and shells. A good copy.

A very rare work on the fossils of Switzerland with
the beautifully engraved frontisp. showing a mineral
Cabinet, drawn by A. Besutius and engraved by Blanus.
The plates depict minerals, fossils, plants, fishes and
mainly shells and one plate gives a view of the famous
Mons Pilatus by Melchior Füessli which was one of the
first mountains to be described in a mineralogical way.
See also DSB vol.8 p.4.
Notes: [1] Wilson (1994): The collection was
acquired by the Natural History of Lucern (which Lang
founded) in 1858.

From 1858 to 1860, Lapparent studied at the Ecole
Polytechnique, becoming an engineer in the Corps of
Mines, and participating in drawing up a geological map
of France. In 1875, he was appointed professor of geology
and mineralogy at the Catholic Institute in Paris, where
he remained. Lapparent was elected president of the
French Geological Society in 1880. For his work Lapparent
recieved many honors and was among others awarded a
honory doctorate by Cambridge University.

of the Harzgebirge in Germany contain much on the
natural history of the region including its mineralogy.
Apparently two issues of this work exist. One that
was printed for the subscribers and another (somewhat

on where and how they are recovered. Oddly, although
a very competent work, it never received the credit it
should have and was largely ignored in its time and

LAURENT, Auguste. (Born: 1807; Died: 1853)
French chemist & crystallographer.
French chemist who, as a student of Dumas was
given the responsibility of determining the problems with
the candles in the French King's 1833 soiree. He braved
Berzelius's criticism and demonstrated that hydrogen was
being replaced by oppositely changed chlorine atoms,
evolving hydrogen chloride gas. This contradicted
Berzelius's radical theory, which forbid the replacement of
an electronegative element with a more electropositive one,
and brought him ridicule from the established chemical
community. Laurent used ideas from crystallography
to represent organic compounds by three-dimensional
structures. However, he believed these structures to be
merely symbolic. He collaborated in experiments with
Gerhardt, and further developed the type theory proposed
by Durnas.
French organic chemist. He devised a systematic
nomenclature for organic chemistry. His studies on
naphthalene and its chlorination products led him to
propose a nucleus theory that foreshadowed modern
structural chemistry; he proposed that the structural
grouping of atoms within molecules determined how the
molecules combined in organic reactions. This theory
conflicted with the then current notion that the product of
organic reactions depended solely on the electrical charge
of the atoms involved. His theory greatly influenced the
theory of types proposed by J. B. Dumas and C. F.
Gerhardt.

Rare. Editied by August Ludwig von Schlözer
[??-??]. In 1769 when Laxmann was traveling in South
Karelia accumulating information for a book he was
then writing Sibirische Nebenstunden, the Sibirische
Briefe appeared in the bookstalls. It was written by the
St. Petersburg academician-historian A. L. von Schlözer
a correspondent of Laxmann's, with the help of J.L.
Beckmann who was a close friend of Laxmann. The
book included several of Laxmann's letters from Siberia
and a letter from Linneaus to him. Laxmann had
written them to Schlözer to describe his discoveries but
they were never intended for publication. Although
the volume received good reviews it caused Laxmann
to abandon his intended book Sibirische Nebenstunden,
which was never published.

LEBLANC, Nicolas. (BORN: Issoudun, France, 1742;
DIED: St. Denis, France, 10 January 1806) French
chemist.
French chimist which developed a process preparation
of the sodium carbonate which bears its name.
E N 1780, Nicolas Leblanc became surgeon on behalf
of the duke of Orleans. It is in 1786, thanks to its
work on the crystallization, which it became famous. In
1789, it discovered a method of preparation of the sodium
carbonate (soda), and allowed the development of the
mineral chemical industry. It opened in 1791, close to
Saint-Denis, thanks to the financial support of the duke
of Orleans, a factory using this new process. Ruined, it
committed suicide in Saint-Denis, in 1806.
Leblanc became interested in the large-scale manufac-
ture of soda because of the offer of a prize. He developed
a process for making soda ash (sodium carbonate) from
common salt, making possible the large-scale manufacture
of glass, soap, paper, and other chemicals. The factory
he set up with others was confiscated during the French
Revolution, and he later committed suicide.

One of Martin Frobenius Ledermüller's (Nürnberg

the 18th century microscopical observation became
very fashionable and Ledermüller's publications enjoyed
great popularity. He produced a number of splendid
microscopical works, all beautifully illustrated of which
'Mikroskopische Gemüths- und Augenergötzungen' is
his best known. They were all published in
Nuremberg, the flourishing center of fine natural history
iconographies.

This collection was formed by Ferdinando Cospi [see
note below], Marches di Petrioli, who was a great
collector of natural objects as well as paintings and
sculptures. The book documents this with inclusion
of the works of Andrea del Sarto, Primaticcio and
Michelangelo. The woodcuts represent various kinds of
animals, terra cottas, arms, stones, minerals, etc. The
large folding plate shows the interior of the museum.
Arranged according to the theories of Aldrovandi.
The volume is divided into five books. The first
lists human and animal specimens, birds and monsters.
The second covers reptiles, fish, corals, shells and fossils,
minerals, crustaceans, and plants. The third treats
'exotic' books and manuscripts, mathematical, scientific
and nautical instruments, weapons, vases, funerary
tablets and games. Book four describes medals and
coins, while the last book classifies religious images from
localities throughout the known world.
The famous collections of Aldrovandi, as well as
his library and manuscripts, were bequeathed to the city
of Bologna. A list of these items has been incorporated
here with the rest of the Cospi Museum.
Ferdinando Cospi. (BORN: Bologna, Italy, 19 January
1606; DIED: Bologna, Italy, 1686) Italian politician. Italian
senator and purchasing agent in Bologna for the Medici
family, Cospis large and varied collection was given to the
senate of Bologna. It was first housed in an annex to
Aldrovandi's museum. In 1743, a large portion was moved
to the Instituto delle Scienze, which was incorporated into
the Museo Civico di Bologna in 1871.

VERY RARE. Lehmann's Abhandlung von
Phosphoris provides a short account of a broad
variety of luminescences. It is one of his earliest
publications and professes to give the preparation and
uses of phosphors as well as remarks on fire and
light and his theory of the origin of the luminescence.
Lehmann divides the subject into natural and artificial
luminescence, with the latter being prepared either by
chemistry or mechanical manipulation, which Lehmann
realized was electrical in nature. However, Harvey does
not think his treatment was very good.

Rare. An important work on the origin of metals
by the famous German geologist. Lehmann recognized
that whatever might be the genetic processes which
resulted in the appearance of metals and metallic ores,
there were certain situations or places which were more
favorable to their development than others. These he
referred to as the "matrices" of the metals, stating that
metals do neither originate in the air, as believed by
many of the older writers, nor in animals or plants, but
in the earth's crust, in rocks, or in fossiliferous and other
stones.

Extremely rare. No copy has been traced.
Although the author directed this work to the use of the
beginner, it includes many noteworthy ideas, which are
the author's opinions rather than a reflexion of the state
of mineralogical science. The divisions of the minerals
are arranged not according to specific chemical tests,
but rather after general principals reported elsewhere
on the behavior of the various bodies in fire, water, etc.

RARE. Translated by P.H.T. baron d'Holbach
from a number of Lehmann's published works. Each
volume has a half-title Traités de Physique, d'Histoire
Naturelle, De Mineralogie et de Métallurgie that
accurately describes the variety of contents of this work.
Volume one begins by describing mines, mountains and
rivers in general. This is followed by a discussion of
mineralogy (pp. 35-226) with emphasis on economic
metals. A treatise on "moufettes" and on the formation
of mines follows. This is followed by translations of
seven treatises on natural history that speculate on
the interior structure of the earth, volcanoes, mineral
waters, natural history around Halberstadt, types of
marbles, and copper minerals. Volume two provides
information on the formation of metals, on mines and
their construction, while volume three is orientated on
geology, with discussions of the earth in general, and
Lehmann's commentary on the theories of Woodward,
Whiston, Burnet, Moro, etc., on mountains, and the
relationship of metals and minerals to the mountains,
and the causes of earthquakes.
Contents: 1. L'Art des Mines ou Introduction aux
connoissances nécessaires pour l'exploitation des Mines
Métalliques. 2. Traité de la Formation des Métaux, et
de leurs matrices ou Minieres. 3. Essai d'une Histoire
Naturelle de Couches de la Terre.

LEHMANN, Otto. (BORN: Constance, Baden,
Germany, 13 January 1855; DlED: Karlsruhe, Germany,
17 June 1922) German crystallographer & physicist.
After studying at Strasbourg, Lehmann was succes-
sively professor of physics at the Technical High Schools
of Aachen (1883), Dresden (1888) and Karlsruhe (1889).
Early on, he devised a heating microscope so that poly-
morphic modifications of crystalline substances could be
observed at different temperatures. Liquid crystals of
cholesteryl benzoate were discovered by F. Reinitzer in
1888, and having a close relationship to his own work,
Lehman did much to develop the new subject, on which
he wrote many papers and books.

jurist, contemporary of Newton (1642-1727), who left
behind no philosophical magnum opus, but who is still
considered to be among the giant thinkers of the 17th-
century. Leibniz believed in "pre-established harmony"
between matter and maid, and developed a philosophy
of Rationalism by which he attempted to reconcile the
existence of matter with the existence of God. Bertrand
Russel wrote that Leibniz's intellect "was highly abstract
and logical; his greatest claim to fame is as an inventor of
the infinitesimal calculus."
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was born in Leipzig as the
son of a professor of moral philosophy. He received his
masters degree from the University of Leipzig at the age
of 18 and his doctorate in law at Altdorf in 1667. Leibniz
preferred a courtly to and academich career and in 1669
he entered into the service of the elector of Mainz. Some
years later he traveled to Paris to try to persuade Louis

XIV to expel the Turks from Kgypt in order to distract
his attention from marching on Holland. The ploy did not
work.
In 1675 Leibniz made his most important scientific
discovery, the differential and integral calculus which
became the basis for modern mathematic. The discovery
resulted in a controversy with Isaac Newton over whether
he or Newton was the inventor. Nowadays it is generally
agreed that they both discovered the basic foundations
the calculus independently, Newton first but Leibniz's
publication prededed that of Newton. Leibniz's system of
notation is superior to that of Newton, and is still in use
today. Newton's absolute space also was something Leibniz
could not accept: "I hold space to be something merely
relative, as time is; . . . For space denotes, in terms
of possibility, an order to things which exist at the same
time, considered as existing together."

Rare. A great geological classic, which was
published by this important mathematician and
physiologist, who accepted in his "Protogaea" the
Cartesian view, that primitive matter has a fluid
consistency owing to the tremendous initial heat and
that the earth's spherical form was derived from the
aggregation of whirling ultimate elements or "monads"
of matter. In place of the Cartesian principle of
momentum, Leibnitz starts from a dynamical basis
and assumes a force which accomplished the separation
of light from darkness or as he also expressed it the
separation of the more " active" elements of the universe
from the more "passive." (Zittel) The part dealing
with mineralogy is much more practical as he became
acquainted with the mines of the Harz in Germany and
he gives account of the mode of occurences of metals,
minerals and fossils in Hannover and Brunswick.
The first description during his lifetime (1646-
1716) was published in only 3 pages in the Acta
Eruditorum in 1693 without the plates, and this paper
remained in a manuscript until it was posthumously

Leigh graduated with a B.A. from Oxford in 1683,
then in 1689 he received his M.D. from Cambridge. He
had a medical practice in London, which he later moved to
Manchester. He also had an extensive practice throughout
Lancashire. Leigh was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society
in 1685, and before that organization he read many papers.

VERY SCARCE. Leigh, remembered primarily as
a naturalist and a Fellow of the Royal Society, was a
physician by profession. He published serveral works,
the most important of which is a Natural History of
Lancashire, Cheshire, and the Peak of Derbyshire"
(Thomas).
The text of this volume is most intriguing: it is a
catalogue of antiquities, an archaeological survey, and,
excuse the modern parlance, a freak show, all in one.
One of the authors many goals is to demonstrate and
prove, by producing artifacts and animals from far-flung
corners of the world, that a huge flood covered the whole
earth and dislodged hippos from the home lands, and
planted them in the mud of Lancashire. In addition to
the text, one is treated to illustrations of such rare and
wonderous objects as the The devils arse and a woman
with horns, among others.

Lenz
LENZ, Johann Georg. (BORN: Schleusingen,
Germany, 2 April 1748; DlED: Jena, Germany, 28
February 1832) German theologian & mineralogist.
Lenz went to the University of Jena in 1765, receiving
his Doctor of Philosophy and Theology in 1770. He became
a private docent with in the fatuity of the department 'if
philosophy. He continued to pursue theological studies for
a time, but eventually he became interested in scientific
studies, especially mineralogy. The study of minerals
suited Lenz, and the newly invented system of A.G.
WERNER, opened new worlds of discovery for him. Lenz
choose to pursue a career in the field, and consequently,
he was made a professor of mining and mineralogy at the
University of Jena. When the University acquired J.E.I.
W'ALCH's mineral collection, Lenz was made its curator.
Lenz was a founding member and driving force behind the
SÖCIETÄT FÜR DIE GESAMMTE MINERALOGIE in Jena, which
was the first society devoted to exclusively to mineralogical
studies. A mineral collection he assembled for his own
studies was purchased in 1799 by the Dutchman Marinus
van Marum [1750-1837] and eventually incorporated into
Teyler's Museum in Haarlem.

VERY SCARCE. This is a reissue of the text
of Mineralogisches Handbuch (Hildburghausen, 1791),
together with a new title page and preliminaries. Lenz
was a strong advocate of Werner's doctrines and his
Handbuch, i.e. Grundriß, is one his more elaborate
expositions. The author makes frequent reference
to other mineralogists, including Gerhard, Gmelin,
Achard, Kirwan, Wallerius and Cronstedt. Lenz also
provides synonyms, references to the relavant literature,
and detailed notes for each mineral described.

VERY RARE. Based on Wernerian principals,
Mustertafeln uses the physical qualities of minerals
to create an elaborate, early field guide to mineral
determination. In the forward, Lenz states that these
"Mustertafeln" or specimen tables are intended to
help friends of mineralogy become acquainted with
the simple minerals. This book is admirable for that
purpose as it consists of tables divided into color,
external form, break or facture, transparency and
lusture, hardness and finally the name of the mineral.
Unique to this work are the four hundred water color
drawings of minerals that are placed in the color
column. These figures, each about one by one inch, are
all rendered with quality and exactness as they were
modeled from specimens contained in Carl August's
[see note below] mineral collection. This volume is
undoubtedly one of the rarest colored mineralogies. In
the forward, Lenz laments that due to the high cost of
production, only as many examples will be published
as there are subscribers. This list is included in the
volume and includes the names of Goethe, von Trebra,
and Bertuch. But based on Lenz's statement, one can
assume that the 26 copies purchased by the subscribers
are all that were ever produced.

Carl August. (BORN: 1757; DIED: 1828) German
monarch. Born the eldest son of Ernst August Constantine
[??-1758]and Anna Amalia [1739-1807], Carl became Duke
of Saxe— Weimar at the age of one year when his father died.
He attained the title of Grand Duke in 1815. His mother,
who acted as his Regent until he came of age in 1775, had
a profound influence upon her son. It was through her
guidance that Carl developed an early interest in literature,
art and science. Through friendships with Goethe and
Lenz, he eventually became a mineral enthusiast, and
consequently founded in 1779 the mineral collection at the
University of Jena with the purchase of JOHANN ERNST
IMMANUEL WaLCH's mineral and fossil collection.

Rare. This is the descriptive work refered
to in Lenz' very rare "Mustertafeln" (Jena, 1794).
The individual illustrations of the Mustertafeln are
correspondingly numbered to descriptions in Lenz'
" Versuch einer vollständigen Anleitungen" . In this
work volume one (1794) describes the earth's, stones,
salts, organic minerals and petrifications. Volume 2
(1795) covers the metals and petrology.
Contents: 1. Erd— und Steinarten, Salze, ölige
mineralische Körper und Versteinerungen; 2. Metalle

headings.
VERY SCARCE. This work is divided into two
distinct parts, which perhaps indicates that the second
portion was issued separately. The first part lists
the external characteristics used in Wernerian doctrine
to determine the species of a mineral. Under each
property, the equivalent names of the property in Latin,
Italian, French, Danish and Hungarian are also listed.
For example, the first external character listed is "Die
Farbe." Underneath this property are listed color
(Latin), il color (Italian), la couleur (French), Farven
(Danish) and à Szin (Hungarian). At that time, this
work would have been useful as a translation dictionary
for studying the proliferation of mineralogical literature
published in langauges other than German.
After page 150, with its own sectional title
page is the second part of the work. This portion
provides a tabular overview of the mineralogical
basics for the species. The headings of the columns
are "Klassen," "Geschlechter," "Gattungen" and
"Arten," with individual species names listed under the

RARE. In this famous lapidary, Leonardi classifies
over 250 types of hard gems and stones according to
their color, hardness, porosity, weight and transparency.
A third of the book is devoted to an alphabetical listing
and description of particular stones, while another
third is occupied with astrological and magical images
carved on gems and their occult significence. The
author, physician to Caesar Borgia, had gathered his
matierals from many of the older writers, but "he shows
some indications of having come under the influence
of the newer methods of study which were about to
be advoacted by Agrícola and his followers, in that
he treats of certain physical properties of minerals..."
(Adams). Leonardo da Vinci is mentioned in a chapter
on the masters in the art of gem cutting.

SCARCE. The superb notes and references make
this work more than a standard mineralogical text. The
author had a good knowledge of the science, as is
shown by the many instances where a complete synoptic
history of the subject being described is added in a
note. The work is divided into two portions. The
first treats crystallography, physical properties, specific
weight, optical characters, magnetism, electrical qualities,
phosphorescence, and concludes with a discussion of the
chemical properties and the theoretical framework and
nomenclature for the proposed mineral classification. The
second portion arranges the species into the system.

LEONHARD, Karl Cäsar von. (Born: Rumpenheim
near Hanau, Germany, 12 September 1779; DlED:
Heidelberg, Germany, 23 January 1862) German
mineralogist & geologist.
Leonhard was the father of GUSTAV VON LEONHARD.
He was a professor of mineralogy and geognosy at the
University of Heidelberg from 1818 onwards. Earlier,
he was land assessor in Hanau. He was the founder
and publisher of one of the first mineralogical magazines,
Taschenbuch får die gesammte Mineralogie, which is the
ancestor of today's Jahrbuch [Neues] får Mineralogie,
Geologie, und Palaeontologie. Leonhard built a personal
mineral collection of over 8,000 specimens from the Harz,
Switzerland, Poland, Vesuvius, Eifel, France, Iceland and
elsewhere. This collection was acquired by the University
of Göttingen after his death.

Rare. Co-authored with Ernst Karl Friedrich
Merz [see note below] and JOHANN HEINRICH КОРР.
This volume consists of a systematic survey of various
mineralogical properties in the form of a series of
tables. The lengthy descriptions give ample reference
to external characters and the chemical qualities. In
many instances throughout the text of this volume,
the authors have also included remarks that reflect the
inadequacies of science they had personally experienced;
they fully understood the limitation of mineralogical
science in their own time and attempt to convey
this information to the reader. Leonard wrote the
oryctognosy section, Merz the oryctology, and Kopp the
chemical sections.
Ernst Karl Friedrich Merz. (BORN: Hanau, Germany, 28
February 1776; DIED: Bruchköbel, Germany, 19 November
1813) German clergyman & naturalist. Merz was a priest
first in Hanau, then at Bruchköbel near Hanau.

Rare. Co-authored with Johann Heinrich Kopp
and Carl Ludwig Gaertner [see note below] , this remark-
able mineralogy was the product of two years cooper-
ation between the authors. It was intentionally writ-
ten as an introductory volume to Leonhard, Merz and
Kopp's earlier, Systematisch— Tabellarische Uebersicht
und Charakteristik der Mineralkörper (Frankfurt am
Main, 1806) [see previous entry].
After the short introduction which covers general
information and definitions, the Propaedeutik is divided
into seven major sections. The first of these concerns
mineralogy in general, and covers outer characteristics
like color, crystal form, cleavage, and taste, inner char-
acteristics like hardness, phosphorecenze, magnetism,
and electricity as well as classification schemes and
nomenclature. Section two gives a distinctly Wernerian
view of geognosie and how the earth is geologically or-
dered, ore deposits, a theory of the planet's structure,

and geological nomenclature. The third section con-
cerns fossils. Section four is a highly interesting account
authored by Leonhard on the collecting of minerals. De-
tails include instructions for the numbering and label-
ing of specimens as well as the importance of cataloging
ones collection. Section five briefly lists the epochs thus
scene in the history of mineralogy, with Werner [q. v.]
being given the most prominent typeface, followed next
by Haüy, Agrícola, etc. The sixth section is an impor-
tant and extensive bibliography covering mineralogy,
geognosie, and paleontology. Compiled before the avail-
ability of other major bibliographic works, this miner-
alogical bibliography listing 2740 items is a remarkably
complete list of books available to the mineralogist of
the period. This classified bibliography was prepared by
Gaertner, and it is divided into seventeen general cat-
egories including literature Sc history, ancient mineral-
ogy, periodicals, nomenclature, dictionaries, textbooks,
systematic, topographical works, chemical, geology, and
paleontology. Concluding the work is the seventh sec-
tion, which gives an alphabetical list of all the authors
mentioned in the bibliography together with short bi-
ographical notes. In some instances, this is today still
the only biographical information availiable about the
authors. A very scarce book, probably due to a high
cost in production.
Johann Heinrich Kopp. (BORN: Hanau, Germany,
17 September 1777; DIED: Hanau, Germany, 28 November
1858) German physician & chemist. Kopp held an
advanced degree in chemistry and was appointed professor
extraordinary in 1843 and professor ordinary in 1853 in
physics and chemistry at the University of Giessen.
Karl Ludwig Gaertner. (BORN: Hanau, Germany, 7
January 1785; DIED: Hanau, Germany, 3 October 1829)
German apothecary. Gaertner opened a pharmacy in Hanau
and became director of the Wetterau Society for the
collecting of natural objects in that city.

theory of classification. This is followed by the
descriptive mineralogy that is comprehensive and lengthy.
Interestingly, the descriptions of most of the various species
include tables of the various chemical analysis which are
some of the earliest examples of comparative mineral
chemistry published. Another feature is that with each
species full references are given to the previous literature
of the mineral. A classified bibliography of mineralogical
literature is given on pages 103-106.

SCARCE. A complex and detailed work examining
in every facet of the mineral kingdom the evidence of
God's fingerprint. Referencing and quoting hundreds
of ancient and contemporary writers Lesser assembled
a tremendous bank of information to support his
viewpoint that God alone was responsible for geology,
mineralogy, crystallography, etc. The author was
so successful in selecting his evidence that the
Lithotheologie is commonly viewed as the one of
the foundation works in reconciling theology with
mineralogy and geology.
The text is divided into nine books: (1) covers the
fundamental relationship between the earth, air, water
and life, (2) describes the origins of rocks, fossils and
minerals, (3) describes the occurrences of mineralized
bodies inside the earth, (4) covers the properties
of stones and minerals, (5) highlights precious and
semiprecious gemstones, (6) stones used in building,
manufacture and art, (7) provides descriptions of the
misuse of gemstones, e.g. mythical powers, (8) covers
artificial stones of all types, and (9) wondrous stones,
such as Lot's wife turned to a pillar of salt. At the end
are two indexes. The first provides references to sections
in the Bible, while the other lists subjects covered.

VERY SCARCE. A comprehensive introductory
treatise on practical mineralogy that includes chapters
on crystallography, optics, physical properties, chemical
constitution, and illustrated with good color plates of
various mineral species. The first portion of the text is
divided into 6 sections. Topics covered are definitions,
crystallography, optics, physical properties, chemical
composition, practical determination of mineral species,
and an overview of the systematic classification.
The second portion is a descriptive mineralogy that
illustrates many of the described species on one of
the 26 chromolithographie plates, which show 396
mineral specimens. These renderings are of good
quality with individual species easily recognizable.
They are the same plates that accompanied Gustav
Adolf Sauer's Mineralkunde (Stuttgart, 1905-6) and
Alexander Bernard's Atlas Minerdlù (Prague, 1907).

RARE. Second augmented edition, edited by FRANZ
Ernst Brückmann, consisting of a reworking of the first
edition together with supplemental material bringing the
work up to date with a total of cl750 entries. It contains
information found no where else. For example, there
are scattered references to collection catalogues of mineral
collections with short notes on their fate. For example
"Catalogue ... über Metallen und Mineralien" of Benedict
Drechsler, a mining officer in Wunsiedel, is described,
and this is the only reference to this particular work.
Brückmann adds that his fine collection was destroyed
by fire in 1731. Two other supplements taking the work
to 1742 were published by Brückmann in his Epistolorum
Itinerariarum Centuria, 1742-50.

French physician, mineralogist & mathematician.
Levy was recognized early on to have a proclivity for
math and was given a good education in France. In 1818,
he was sent to London to study at the Royal College of
Physicians. While in England he became associated with
the successful mineral dealer Henry Heuland. Through
Heuland, Levy came to know many of the leading English
scientists, including especially William Hyde Wollaston
[1766-1828] and the astronomer John William Herschel
[1792-1871]. Levy became an instructor at the University
of Liege in Belgium from 1828 to 1830. From there he
went on to become professor of mineralogy at the College

[Atlas] 84 plates of crystal drawings on 83 leaves.
VERY SCARCE. One of the most elaborate and
important catalogs of any mineral collection. About
1806 Henry Heuland [see note below] the premier
mineral dealer of the nineteenth century obtained
a fine collection of minerals formed by his mineral
dealer uncle Jacob Forster [see note under Rome de
l'lsle]. After considerably enhancing the collection
with valuable additions, Heuland sold the collection
to Charles Hampden Turner [see note below] in 1820.
However, a condition of the sale was that an elaborate
catalogue raisonné following the classification system
of Haüy be prepared together with an atlas of crystal
drawings. For this task the services of Armand Lévy,
then resident in London, were retained.
The dilgence of Lévy as a mineralogist was
impressive. It was due to his careful examination
of this large collection and his preparation of the
illustrative crystal drawings that Levy discovered and
described the mineral species: forsterite, babingtonite,
brochantite, roselite, brookite, herschelite, phillipsite,
and beudantite. In addition, Levy also described many
new varieties of mineral species already known. These

descriptions were set forth in a number of articles
published between 1822 and 1827. Then based upon
the reputation created by these articles, he left London
to live and teach in Belgium. This move to the continent
ceased Levy's involvement with the Catalogue, even
though as Heuland states in the preface, Levy had been
given a substantial advance. In frustration, Heuland,
on the advice of Henry James Brooke [q.v.] and his son
Charles Brooke, turned the work over to M.E. Brookes
who completed the 34 remaining plates and brought
the manuscript to publication. The collection itself was
eventually incorporated into Henry Ludlam's, which
was bequeathed to the Museum of Practical Geology
in London.
John Henry Heuland. (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 London in 1813, becoming its foreign
secretary from 1818 to 1828. The mineral "Heulandite"
named for hirn by H.J. Brooke in 1822.
Charles Hampden Turner. (BORN: ; DIED: )
English mineralogist & mineral collector. Turner sold his
collection to Henry Ludlam.

Rare. The author observes in his foreword
that the field which had been assigned to mineralogy
by Werner, Haiiy and Brongniart, is invaded by
an exclusively chemical or physical approach of this
science. Its course is based essentially on the combined
principles of Werner and Haiiy. Illustrated by 356
figures engraved in text. Leymery, professor at
the Faculty of Science of Toulouse, is the author
of a "Description géologique et paléontologique des
Pyrénées" (1878-81). He died during an excursionin the
Pyrenees. Some parts of this course has been published
in "Journal des Mines."

Rare. Published in a series of four Theilien or
parts, this catalog describes a comprehensive collection
of minerals put up for sale beginning in May 1772.
In the preface to the first Theil, Leysser extolls the
virtue of mineral collecting as a pleaurable pastime
per suit, and in particular, he directs the reader to
the fine selection of specimens offered for sale in this
publication. Unusual for the time, each specimen
described has a fixed price for which the individual piece
could be purchased.

RARE. No more published. According
to the preface, Leysser collected earths, stones,
minerals, metals and petrifications for over 60 years,
accumulating over 10,000 specimens. He had collected
minerals to enrich his knowledge of the science, and
pursue in his own measured way, the theoretical aspects.
No species escaped his notice and the collection includes
examples of almost all the known ones, and many of
their seemingly endless varieties. He writes at the end
that his age and lack of time to study mineralogy have
caused the collection to be put up for sale, through a
Herrn Buhle, Inspector of the reform Gymnasium.
This work, the only part published of two (the
other to list the salts, inflammables, metals, semi-
metals, and petrifications), classifies and describes the
specimens of the earths and stones of this extensive
collection, and includes besides the species name,
information on the locality, and infrequently the
year acquired, the source and references to other
minealogical works. The collection was ultimately
purchased by a collector of the name Bahr (finance
advisor in Köthe) between 1806 and 1826, and was
aftwards lost.

LHWYD (Llhwyd, Lhuyd, Llwyd), Edward. (Born:
Probably Glan Ffraid, Cardiganshire, Wales, 1660;
DIED: Oxford, England, 30 June 1709) English
antiquarian & naturalist.
Lhwyd had very limited means while he was a student
at Oxford, to the extent that he took rather miserable
employment before completing a degree. Created an M.A.
by Convocation, 1701. Lhwyd collected plants around
the hill mass of Snowdon in Wales and established the
existence of a distinct alpine flora and fauna there. Ray
published Lhwyd 's list of plants around Snowdon in his
Synopsis, 1690. He assisted Lister in cataloguing mollusks
and fossils in Oxfordshire. This topic became his primary
scientific interest and resulted ultimately in Lithophylacii
botannici ichnographia, 1699. Fossils involved him in
geology. Ichnographia included six letters on geological
subjects. The fossil content of stones led him to question
the deluge account. Lhwyd undertook a general natural
history of all the Celtic parts of Britain (including also
Ireland and Brittany). Achaeologia britannica, 1707, was
to have been the first volume of this work, but Lhwyd did
not live to publish the rest. That volume is more linguistic
than scientific; it inaugurated the study of comparative
Celtic philology. Lhuyd was assistant to Robert Plot, keeper
of the Ashmolean Museum from 1683 to 1691. He took
over the post after Plot's death? and became Keeper
of the Ashmolean Museum, 1691-1709. Apparently the
keepership carried no salary; Lhwyd derived his income
from fees paid by visitors. Ellis says that his income
from the museum never exceeded ¿50 per annum. Lhwyd
undertook to collect material on Wales for a new edition
of Camden's Britannia, published in 1695. For this he
received a modest single payment from the publisher.
He was partially supported by subscribers to his natural
history of the Celtic parts of Britain, 1696-1700. In the
first of these years he received more than ¿100; by 1700
the amount had fallen off to about £11. Elected Esquire
Beadle of Divinity at Oxford, 1709. This carried a salary
of ¿100, but Lhwyd died after only a few months.
Lhwyd undertook his contributions to Camden's
Britannia explicitly to encourage Welsh gentry to support
a bigger project, and immediately after Britannia appeared
he did begin to garner support. In 1695 he published
a proposal (see Ellis) solliciting support for a pension
to finance his projected Archaeologia britannica, and
he received enough to proceed, though not everything
promised actually came in. He dedicated the volume of
Archaeologia that did appear to Sir Thomas Mansell. He
assisted Martin Lister with lists of Oxfordshire species of
mollusks and fossils. Quarrelled with Dr. Woodword about
the origin of marine fossils. Became a Fellow of the Royal
Society in 1708.

He attended the Universities of Wittenberg and Jena, and
finally Basel from which he received his M.D. In 1581, he
became a teacher at Illmenau. In 1586, he was appointed
"Stadt- und Raths-Schulen Rector" (rector of the schools)
in Coburg. From 1588-1591, Libavius worked as professor

of history and poetry at the University of Jena. In 1591,
he moved to Rothenburg, where he became municipal
physician. In 1592, he was also appointed inspector of
schools and received a teaching position. Endless quarrels
with the rector of the town schools led to his early
departure. Libavius returned to Coburg in 1607, where
he was named rector of the newly-founded Gymnasium
Casimirianurn Academicum.

Rare. Called the first systematic and practical
textbook of chemistry, the 1595 edition listed by some
bibliographers is a ghost. Within this work Libavius
displays his full command of both the theoretical and
practical sides of chemistry. Included in the text are
frequent references to analysis of mineralogical exam-
ples. The author also provides an amazingly detailed
account for setting up a complete chemical institute: a
main laboratory, an analytical laboratory and a private
laboratory for the director. There was also a chemical
store, a preparation room, a crystallizing room, store
rooms, , cellars, a wine cellar, a wood store, a room
for the assistants, and a steam bath. Upper stories of
the facility contained living quarters, study rooms and
a well stocked library.
Sometimes bound with the Alchernia. is the au-
thor's commentary on alchemy. It has the ti-

SCARCE. An important chemical text by one of the
founders of chemical analysis. Second edition of the first
modern chemical textbook, which is generally considered
one of the most beautiful of the seventeeth century because
of its heavy use of illustrations. It contains over 200 designs
and pictures of various sorts of chemical glassware, vessels,
apparatuses and furnaces, as well as detailed architectural
plans for building the chemical institute first outlined in
the first edition.
"Libavius's Alchernia is an excellent practical text-
book in the sense that the author shows a full mastery
of his sources and a clear, concise and sensible style,
entirely different from the rambling, bombastic, and
obscure verbosity of Paracelsus or the alchemical authors."

VERY RARE, especially in complete sets. This
series of authoritative essays on a wide range of subjects
probably reproduce Libavius' lectures and may have
been used as a text book in his classes. Included is
a great deal of practical and speculative information
on the mineral wealth of the earth: the nature and
transmution of metals, amber, fossil teeth, asphalt,
bitumen, naptha, petroleum, coal, turf, and belemnites.
Throughout Libarvius includes references to medicinal,
alchemical and chemical properties. Also described in
this compendium are Paracelsus' legacy, the flight of
witches, posions, manna and honey, astrology, cornets,
the phases of the moon, silk and silkworms, mineral
waters, frogs, toads, and other diverse matters.

Rare. A work on the phosphorescent stone of
Bologna. Kopp says that the first chemical preparation
known to show phosphorescence was a paste made from
a barite found near Bologna, and that it was described
in this book. This is the most comprehensive 17th
century work on the subject, and at the same time it is
the least scientific approach. In the 55 chapters there
is a detailed account of the various names by which the
Bolognian stone was known, its discovery, the places
where it occurred, and an attempt at explanation of its
luminescence.

LINNAEUS (Linné), Carl. (Born: Rashult,
Provience of Smaland, Sweden, 23 May 1707; DIED:
Uppsala, Sweden, 10 January 1778) Swedish physican
& botanist.
Linneaus was educated at the Universities of Lund
and Uppsala, where he studied medicine. He became
adunctus to Olaf Rudbeck, at the University of Uppsala in
1730. On a government sponsored expedition, he traveled
4,600 miles in Lapland and Upper Scandinavia, discovering
100 new species of plants. In 1732, he taught students
how to assay ores. In 1738, he became naval physician in
Stockholm. Appointed professor of medicine and botany at
the University of Uppsala in 1741, Linneaus became widely
known as the greatest botanist of his time.

RARE. One of the most famous and important
books in the history of science, as well as one of
the rariest. This first edition covered not only the
animal and plant kingdoms but the mineral kingdom
(regnum lapideum) as well. Although Linné would
refine the system through extensive additions and
alterations, its main principals would remain unchanged
through the many subsequent editions. In creating
a mineral classification, he attempted to duplicate
what he had done for plants and animals. This
method, which does not take chemical composition into
account and inherently assumes organic propogation,
is not suited to the inorganic products of nature,
and the mineral system could never be as useful as
his biological systems. Nevertheless, Linné and the
principals of his mineralogical system, first outlined
in this work, exterted a tremondous influence in
mineralogical science.
This first edition was printed at the request of
Johann Friedrich Gronovius, one of the dutch admirers
of the young Linné, for the "intention only to have a
few copies ... to communicate it fully ... to the learned
world" [see: Gronovius' letter to Sir Hans Sloane,
reproduced in the Soulsby catalog of Linneaus]. Hence
the extreme rarity of an original.
Contains:
Observationes in Regna 3 naturae.
Caroli Linnaei Regnum Lapideum.
Observationes in Regnum Lapideum.
Clavis Systematis Sexualis.
Caroli Linnaei Regnum Vegetabile.
Observationes in Regnum Vegetabile.
Observationes in Regnum Animale.
Caroli Linnaei Regnum Animale.
The equivalent Swedish names are given in the
Mineralogical portion only of the work.
The chief criticism of Linneaus' mineralogical
classification was that it took into account only external
characteristics without any attention to their chemical
composition. Nevertheless, his observations in this field
as well as geology and paleontology were in advance of
his time. For example, he correctly attributed the origin
of fossils to be the petrified remains of formerly living
creatures.

plates belong to the mineralogical volume, which occupies
volume four.
The twelfth edition of the Systema Naturse incorpo-
rated Linnaeus' most mature thought concerning individ-
uals of the mineral kingdom. There were, Linnaeus stated
in the preface to this section, three methods one might use
to investigate the stones, minerals and fossils found in the
natural enviorrnent. The first was the physical, which "de-
scended through the obscure generation of minerals" ; the
second was the natural, which "considered the superficial
and visible structures" ; and the third was the chemical,
which ascended through to the middle course, and, having
thus provided a justification of his methodology, Linnaeus
proceeded to make a systematic classification of various
crystalline substances. — Burke (1966).

to a large market and therefore contains a large amount
of information not usually included in other works on
natural history. For example, in the first volume is included
material relating "to the occult influence of Nature over
Man, founded on the exploded doctrine of astrology" on the

physical and chemcial properities of mineral substances. In
this work, he proposes an all— inclusive systematization of

natural productions. By means of a careful application of
rules of classification to minerals, plants, and animals, he
had devised a scheme of classification that reduced Nature's
infinite variety to a generalized conceptual scheme. This
was an outstanding accomplishment in its time. Although
Linné's theories would be replaced by other methods, the
classification he developed for plants is still in use. The
mineralogical portion together with a "Life of Linné" and
an "Explanation of Terms" occupies the seventh volume.

VERY SCARCE. Linneaus' account of his journey
to Oland and Gotland on behalf of the goverment
in 1741. The purpose was to find a clay suitable
for making chinaware and survey the land for other
natural resources suitable for manufacture processes
so that the country could become less dependent on
imports. Linneaus was not successful in his assignment,
but at the same time he made many observations on
the people and their land. The work is of interest
not only for the botanical results, which discovered
over one hundred new plants, but also for many other
observations relating to mineralogy, especially iron. A
very rare book.

These two journeys to Swedish islands in the Baltic
Sea were made in 1741 at the request of government
authorities. Linnaeus was com-missioned to try to find a
clay suitable for making chinaware and fur-ther was to take
note of any raw material which might be used in manu-
factures so that the country would be less dependent on
imports. He was not successful in this specific assignment,
but at the same time he made many observations of the
antiquities of the islands, the people, the mechanic arts
and fishing. More than one hundred new plants were
discovered, some of them useful in medicine, dyeing and
the rural economy.

RARE. A journey undertaken by Linnaeus in
1746 to various places in the central provinces of
Sweden. It was one of several such trips financed by
the government.
On the pages shown here Linnaeus discusses
Fdrgegrdsen or plants used to make dyes. He describes
three varieties one of which is Wejde (Isatis tinctoria).
This plant, often growing to a height of about three
feet, bluish green in appearance and with a yellow
flower, was used prior to the discovery of sea routes to
India, to prepare indigo. This and other native colors
were used in the provinces to dye peasant yarn and
woven materials. The illustration, drawn by Linnaeus
is Wejdeqwarnen or the Isatis mill which was used to
pulverize the leaves of the plant. Domestic dyes made
from plants are now being used again in Sweden because
of the renewed interest in peasant crafts.

VERY SCARCE. A catalog of the collection of
minerals and fossils belonging to Count Carl Gustaf
Tessin [see note below] and stored in his castle at Åkerö,
Sweden. Tessin was a great friend of Linneaus and
used his influence to help the botanist establish his
reputation. In appreciation, Linneaus dedicated many
of his books to either Tessin or his wife. Finally,
Linneaus prepared this catalog of his benefactor's
mineralogical cabinet. Although Linneaus' name does
not appear on the title page and contrary to custom,
Tessin dedicated the work to Linneaus "as he alone
should have the honor."
The text is written in both Latin and Swedish,
which is presented in parallel columns throughout. In
the book's preliminaries, Linneaus sets forth various
observations about the nature of the mineral kingdom,
and various methods of classifying its members. The
text of the catalog is then presented. Linneaus has
divided the minerals into simple stones, composite
minerals and fossils. Following are pages describing the
specimens illustrated on the plates. At the conclusion
of the volume are indexes to the species mentioned. The
first provides the names in Latin while the other gives
the Swedish. Soulsby (1933) says the count only had a
few copies printed for private circulation. A rare book.
Carl Gustaf Tessin. (BORN: Stockholm, Sweden, 5
September 1695; DIED: Åkerö, Sweden, 7 January 1770)
Swedish aristrocat & politician. Tessin was the son of the
architect and court superintendent. He was educated in
France and Italy, and became the founder of the 18th-
century parliamentary Hat Party and an influential adviser
to the court of Adolf Frederick. In 1725 Tessin was
appointed ambassador at Vienna. From 1746 to 1752
Tessin was president of the chancellery, the equivalent
of today's prime minister. Tessin was one of the most
brilliant personages of his time, and the most important
representatives of French culture in Sweden.

SCARCE. This is Linneaus' first work dealing
with the mineral kingdom. The manuscript is dated
Dalecarlia, Sweden, 1734, but was not published until
Pluto Svecicus appeared in 1907. However, the
information contained therein formed the foundation
for the regnum lapideum section in the many editions
of the Systema. Naturas. The prime criticism of his
classification was that it relied upon the external form
on minerals and did not account for the minerals
chemical properties. None the less, Linneaus was in
many ways in advance of his time with respect to his
observations in mineralogy, geology, and paleontology.

VERY SCARCE. The Amoenitates Académicas,
or "Academic Amenities" is a collection of the 185
academic dissertationsto which Linnaeus' name is given
as Praeses. The word Praeses in modern academic
terminology is approximately equal to "thesis adviser."
One additional dissertation is included in the collected
edition for which Linnaeus' son acted as Praeses. These
dissertations however, contain nothing but the results
of Linnaeus' own ideas and research. In the eighteenth
century professors dictated most of the theses to their
students and only rarely did a candidate for a degree
author the the work himself. The student did have
to put the text into good or passable Latin and this
was often not an easy task when the subject was
complicated. The candidate also had to pay for the
publication of the thesis.
The Amoenitates Académicas has an extremely

VERY SCARCE. A thorough well digested work on
the local mineralogy of a large area of the Australian
continent that is of great value to the mineralogical student.
The author had already published two earlier memoirs
on this subject, but this third edition has a much wider
scope and constitutes the best edition of this work. The
subjects of the metals, as gold, silver, copper, tin, are
treated with especial fullness and have more than a local
interest. Liversidge has also included the results of his own
original work on many of the species. A large and well
executed colored mineral map forms the frontispiece to this
unusually handsome volume. A scarce work.

Rare. Printed at the author's own press, this
work, which ranks with Agrícola, is among the rariest
of the early mining books. It was the first and only
book printed at Zellerfeld, due to the destruction of
Bericht vom Bergkwerck, 1617
the press and most of the first edition during the
thirty years war. Löhneysen designed the plates,
woodcuts and initials, employing as engraver of the
cuts the German Moses Thym. The plates illustrate
the construction, machinery and work in the mines,
the processes of metallurgy, etc. Especially valuable
for giving an accurate description of German mining
and metallurgical methods at the beginning of the XVII
century.

RARE. A description of the mineralized forms of
the silver chloride and bromide mineral species found
in the German mines. Because of their particular
crystallization characteristics, they resembled the horns
of animals when encountered in the mines, hence the
nickname given by the miners "horn- sil ver". The first
portion of the text recounts the history of hornerzes,
including its first discovery, the origin of the name, its
occurance, and the probably origin of the ore in the
mines. The second portion provides a natural history
of the species including external characteristics and its
forms and crystal structure. The plate shows 6 figures
of various crystallized specimens.

LOMONOSOV
LOMONOSOV
LOMONOSOV, Mikail Vasilievich. (Born: Deniskov-
a [now Lomonosov] near Archangel, Russia, 8 November
1711; DIED: St. Petersburg, Russia, 4 April 1765)
Russian polymath.
Lomonosov's father was a farmer and fisherman, and
as a youth he travelled the northern seas. Karly on
he learned to read and write. In 1730, he travelled by
foot to Moscow where he studied ancient languages in
the city's academy. In 1736 having shown himself to be
one of the best students, he was first sent to the St.
Petersburg Academy of Science and then for three years to
Marburg University in Germany where he was instructed
by the philosopher Christian Wolff [1679-1754]. In 1739,
Lomonosov travelled to Freiberg in Saxony to work in
the laboratory of JOHANN FRIEDRICH Henckel. There he
became immersed in problems of mineralogy, mining and
metallurgica chemistry. He returned to St. Petersburg
in 1741. Lomonosov was made an associate professor of
physics at the academy in 1742, followed by a professor of
chemistry in 1748. From this post, he opened in 1745 the
first chemical laboratory in Russia, and in 1758 became
director of the geographical department.
Through out his carrer at the St. Petersburg
Academy, Lomonosov was continuously fighting the
imported European scientists to make Russia a true
scientific power. His believe was that his homeland was
the equal of any country in Europe, but the dominance of
foreigners on the committee disregarded his patriotic views.

EXTREMELY RARE. In this the official catalogue
of the imperial collections housed in St. Petersburg,
the mineralogical portion was prepared by Lomonosov.
It formed the fourth part of the general contents that
also included scintific and musical insturments, and
objects from the Middle East and the orient, especially
China. It was written after Peter the Great's buying
expeditions in Europe.
In 1724, Peter the Great placed his scientific
collections under the administration of the St.
Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Many of the
mineralogical specimens survive today as part of the
enormous gem and mineral collection preserved in the
Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Moscow.
One of the first works that Lomonosov wrote
on his return from Germany was the Catalogue of
Minerals in which was a detailed description of the
gems and fossilized stones collected in the minerals
showroom in the Kunstkammer of the St. Petersburg
Academy of Sciences. This work eventually became
to a great extent the source for the successive theses
of his on mineralogy, mining and metallurgy. The
work he began in 1741 in compiling a catalogue of
the mineral collections of the Academy of Sciences
called for the careful study of many minerals and thus
provided practical support for his ideas regarding the
structure and the processes involved in the formation of
crystals. In his dissertation, 'On the Origin and Nature
of Saltpetre', which he wrote in 1749, Lomonosov gave
a detailed version of his views on the structure of
crystals. 'His conceptions of the structure of crystals
formulated in this dissertation', wrote the well known
crystallographer I. I. Shafranovsky, 'are so significant
that the year this dissertation was written might well
be considered the time of the origin of Russian scientific
crystallography'.

CONTENTS: Translated title: First essentials of

Rare. This is the most significant work
dealing with aspects of mineralogy, mining and
metallurgy published in 18th century Russia. Although
Lomonosov supports several basic ideas that were
first proposed by AviCENNA, the work displays an
especially comprehensive display of mineralogical and
geological details. Lomonosov classifies minerals into
six categories: (1) metals, (2) semi-metals, (3) fatty
minerals, (4) sulphur, (5) stones and earths and
(6) ores. He emphasises the geological deposits of
ores and gives suggestions for successfully locating
other valuable formations. These observations include
looking for rocks that appear broken over a good
size area, looking for fragments of rock that are
known to exist with ores, minerals that leave a
residue of sulphur when heated, and sickly vegetation
and trees that have pale leaf colors. Lomonosov
was clearly among the first researchers to observe a
substantial relationship between valuable minerals and
their surrounding enviorment.
This work was written as a textbook and practical
guide for workers at the mines. As such, Lomonosov
included everthing that might be of use in the field.
For example, Lomonsov provides details for various
metallurgical processes used to extract metals from
the ore. The work was considered so successful in its
execution that copies were sent to the Ural Mountains,
the Altai, and other mineralized areas throughout
Russia.

a professor of mathematics in Nürnberg. In 1554, he was
awarded a medical degree from the University in Mainz
and became city physician in Frankfurt am Main. 1545-
1546, began teaching at the Gymnasium in Frankfurt,
but returned to Marburg because of disturbances caused
by war. While a student in Mainz, he was a private
tutor in the home of Dr. Wilhelm Osterod, professor
of medicine at Mainz. 1553, professor of mathematics,
University of Marburg. 1554-1586, appointed municipal
physician in Frankfurt, at a salary of 40 gulden. He also

worked as a proofreader in the printing shop owned by
his father-in-law, who specialized in reviving old herbáis.
After the death of Egenolf, Lonicerus inherited a share
of the business, one of the most prosperous in Germany,
and ran it with his brothers-in-law. 1554, he married
the daughter of Frankfurt printer Christian Egenolph (d.
1533). He then inherited a share of this substantial
business. Upon marrying Magdalena Egenolf, he became
a citizen of Frankfurt. He dedicated the second part of his
natural history (1555) to the city, and received a 10 taler
honorarium. He also dedicated a 1573 book to the city.

RARE. First edition in German of this popular
herbarium, which also included descriptions of animals,
birds, fish, fossils and minerals, along with details of
distilling apparatus. This popular herbal had many
editions after its first appearance in 1557, and is a
compilation based on previous works, principally Eucharius
Rösslin's Kreuterbuch of 1533 and T. Dorsten's Botanicen.
The numerous woodcuts are copied from the herbáis of
Brunfels, Fuchs, Bock and others. These illustrations
show depictions of animals, plants, distilling apparatus,
metals and gems to which human figures were added
in later editions. Although Lonitzer's herbáis had little
influence on Linneaus and post— Linnaean taxonomy, they
were popular works until the 18th century.
This is not a new work in any sense but is, instead,
a combination of an earlier version of Der Gart der
Gesundheit and Brunschwig's Das Buch zu Distillieren.
The first edition appeared in 1533, and was edited by
Dr. Eucharius Rosslin. After Rosslin's death, the herbal
portion was edited by Theodore Dorsten and entitled the
Botanicon. Both of these publications were then brought
together, re-edited, and combined with Lonicer's own
contributions in 1557 to form the Kreuterbuch. Most of
the illustrations were pirated from other sources, including
herbáis of Brunfels and Fuchs. There is no "standard"
edition of this work, since through its many editions the
order of entries has been rearranged repeatedly. Fact is
not always distinguished from fiction because publishers
learned that the mention of fictitious animals and plants
appealed to the masses and bolstered book sales. For
20th century readers the text provides quaintness and
medieval charm, but those who followed some of the
misleading advice must have suffered greatly. However,
what might seem to us to be outrageous remedies were
usually harmless because no one could procure the exotic
ingredients. Some of the medications mentioned were
based on ancient remedies dating back to Egyptian papyrus
records; for example, the healing properties advanced for
Ricinus, the castor bean, were almost the same in ancient
papyri as in works printed 3,000 years later. One remedy
mentioned here is the Bezoar stone, made up of lime and
magnesium phosphate, which was found in deer stomachs
and intestinal tracts. These stones reputedly provided a
miraculous antidote to poison, so they were often placed
in goblets to protect against poisoned wine. They were
in vogue in Europe from the 12th century on. There was
a good market for them at the time of Louis XIV when
such stones might sell for 50 times the price of an emerald
of equal size. Patients who could not afford to purchase
them outright could rent them by the day. Elizabeth I
owned a large one which was set in gold and became a part
of the crown jewels. The Shah of Persia presented four
Bezoar stones to Napoleon I, hoping they might help cure
his many ailments. This book caught the popular fancy and
sold many copies. It was considered a real money-maker.
Printed repeatedly, it remained a best seller for 250 years.
One of the most recent editions was issued in 1783.

description of the names of the same in Six Languages— Namely

PLATES: The six folding engraved plates all show
shaded diagrams of various crystal forms. They each have
a "Tab." number in the upper right— hand corner and
a description of the type of crystal form depicted upon
the plate. Only the first plate is signed at the bottom,
"Loescher delin:1800 F.E. Müller sc." AU other plates are
unsigned.
The plates consist of: Tab. I. Würfel [=cubic;
showing figures 1—36]; Tab. II. Säulen [=prismatic; showing
figures 37—69]; Tab. III. Säulen [=prismatic; showing
figures 70—101]; Tab. IV. Säulen [=prismatic; showring

RARE. Löscher was a manufacturer of crystal
models in Freiberg, and Fischer (1939) records that he
worked under the supervision of Werner in suppling his
collections, which consisted of upto 200 models. Löscher
wrote this work as a response to the many mineral
enthuiasts who requested that a printed description of
the models accompany his collections. The plates show
figures of the crystal models in plan and side views.

LOVELL, Robert. (BORN: Lapworth, Warwickshire,
England, cl630; DIED: Coventry, England, November
1690) English naturalist.
Lovell was born the younger son of the Rector of
Lapworth. He became a student of Christ Church, Oxford
in 1648 graduating B.A. in 1659 and M.A. in 1653. He
studied botany, zoology and mineralogy, and his works
on these subjects were published between 1659 and 1661,
apparently while he still was resident at Oxford. Later, he
relocated to Coventry, where he lived the remainder of his
life.

VERY SCARCE. These two volumes that are
usually bound in one, form a quaint natural history
encyclopedia typical of the 17th century. Contained
within the first volume are an introduction to the
history of animals and minerals and extensive accounts
of all things related to animals, which deals in turn
with beasts, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. The
second volume with a separate title page concerns
minerals. This is the earliest work on minerals by
an English author, and it is perhaps only predated in
the English language in its subject by the translation
and subsequent editions of Albertus Magnus' Liber
Aggregations (Boke of Secrets, 1st ed., London, cl550).
The mineralogical descriptions are compiled from about
250 authors and deal chiefly with minerals from the
standpoint of their medicinal uses. Only the sketchiest
indications of localities are included , but the sections on
precious and semiprecious stones are quite extensive.
Lovell was a prolific reader, with an extensive
knowledge of books and a wonderful industry in the
collection of his materials, as well as a good judge in the
arrangement of text. He utilized his talents to write an
earlier work on botany (Sive Enchiridion Botanicum,
Oxford, 1659) and the present 2 volumes complete
his study of the natural kingdom with animals and
minerals. Here, Lovell systematically recorded without
judgment all that he found in the course of reading the
old naturalists. He repeats all the legends and tales
of the past without questioning their credibility. For
example, he states quite seriously, that caterpillars are
formed from dew congealed on cabbage leaves by the
sun, and that fleas are generated from the action of
sweat upon dust trapped in dogs hair. Yet, in Lovell's
time, ROBERT BOYLE was living and experimenting at
Oxford and the Royal Society was collecting Maydew —
perhaps to congeal some caterpillars — and chemistry,
physics, and astronomy were all advancing.
The text of the mineralogical volume is divided
into 4 sections, with subdivisions occurring in
each. Arrangement of the individual species within
subdivisions is always alphabetical. The sections are
(1) Geologia, which describes the Earths, including
chaulk, clay and Fuller's earth, the Mettais, including
copper, gold, iron, lead, silver and tin, the Semi—
Mettalls, including antimony, cinnabar and mercury,
Mettals Naturall Excrements, including chalcocite and
marcasite, Mettais Artificial Excrements, including
Cadmia and Plumbago, (2) Halologia, which describes
Salts, including alum, amoniack, common salt, nitre
and vitrol, (3) Theiologia, which describes Sulphurs,
including amber, arsenic, asphalt and brimstone,
and (4) Lithologia, which describes Stones, including
precious (=agates, amethyst, beryl, bezoar stone, ruby,
sapphire, topaz, etc.) and stones less than precious
(=alabaster, lapis lazuli, bloodstone, borax, crystal,
limestone, lodestone, etc.).

In 1826 he was appointed professor of surgery at the
Academy of Science. In 1834, he also became a professor of
natural history at Moscow University. He authored works
on questions of zoology, mineralogy, economy, physiology
and pathology. He was also an early investigator of
infectious diseases of humans, and held the view that they
were transmitted by parasites in the body.

EXTREMELY RARE. Lovetskii's First Foundation
of Mineralogy argues against the ideas of Neptunism
and is thus against Werner. He asserts the importance
of chemistry in mineralogy as a means of classification
and for studying the formation of minerals. Lovetskii is
among the earliest mineralogists to describe amber as
a combustible mineral of organic origin. As evidence
he bases this view on the fact that insects are held
imprisoned with in the fossilized amber.

LOWRY, Delvalle (afterwards Varley). (Born: ;
DIED: ) English mineralogist.
Lowry was the daughter of the famous artist, Wilson
Lowry [1762-1824]. After his death, she married the painter
John Varley [1778-1842]. She was apparently of short
stature and it is said that when Varley's apprentices grew
bored, they would toss Mrs Varley back and forth amongst
them. A painting on ivory of Delvalle by her father is
apparently held in the collections of the British Museum.

LUCAS, Jean-André-Henri. (BORN: Paris, France?,
1780; DIED: Paris, France, 6 February 1825) French
naturalist.
Lucas spent much of his youthful free time roaming
the Musuém dHistoire Naturelle in Paris and reading G.L.
BUFFONs monumental Histoire Naturelle (Paris, 1743-93).
He decided early on to pursue a career in natural history
and most especially mineralogy. He became officially
associated with the Museum Histoire Naturelle in Paris as
a curator and purchasing agent. Because of his extensive
knowledge, Lucas was hired to replace E.L.M. Patrin
as editor of Détervilles Nouveau Dictionnaire de Historie
Naturelle (36 vols., Paris, 1816—9). In this capacity,
Lucas performed the job with skill, correcting many of
his predecessors errors, and proving himself a very able
naturalist. He became interested in the study of Italian
volcanoes, particularly those near Naples and on the Island
of Sicily. He published first hand accounts of the eruptions
of Mt. jEtna and Vesuvius.

PLATES: The frontispiece consists of one of two
portraits of Haüy. The more common impression consisting
of an oval rendering within a rectangular frame showing
the upper torso of Haüy facing left and holding a
contact goniometer upon a rhombohedron of Iceland
spar. A description contained within a rectangular frame
immediately under the portrait reads, "René Just Haüy,
| de la Légio d'Honneur et de l'Institut National; |
Professeur de Minéralogie au Muséum d'Histoire naturelle.
| Né à St. Just; en Picardie, le 28 Février 1743." The
plate is signed "Traduit du dessin de F. Massard, par R.
LElenor. 1804." In the lower margin of the plate is the
text, "Ou savant Auteur des Traités de Physique et de
Minéralogie, | J.A.H. Lucassen Elect." In some volumes, a
more uncommon frontispiece occurs. This impression shows
the head and shoulders of René Just Haüy together with
those of his brother, Valentine [17451822]. Valentine is in
front of his brother. No description of the subjects appears
on the plate, but the style suggests this portrait to be the
work of Ambroise Tardieu [17881841].
The folding plate ...
VERY SCARCE. First issue of a major work
that appeared in support of Haüy's theories. The
publication in 1801 of Haüy's landmark Traite de
Mineralogie (4 vols., Paris, 1801) created a tremendous
dialog within mineralogical science. Some believed
wholeheartedly in Haüys theories and proposals, while
others supported views, most prominently the German
school based on Werner's ideas. For the most part
Lucas successfully attempts in the first part of this
work to support Haüy and counter the resistance to
his theories. At the same time, he also provides the
reader with what is essentially an abridgment of Haüys
master work. After the introduction, Lucas gives a
short exposition of Haüy's methods, and an outline of
the mineralogical characteristics, principal components
and the method of distributing minerals within the
classification extracted and condensed directly from
Haüys work. Lucas then provides a synopsis of the
minerals distributed into classes, orders, families and
species. The text continues with a more detailed
description of the minerals, properties and system of
classification. At the end of the volume is a table
listing the crystallization forms of each mineral species,
"corrected and augmented with new observations."
It required seven years for Lucas to complete and
publish the second part of the Tabieau Méthodique.
Part of the delay was surely due to the chaotic state
of mineralogical science during this period. This
was the time when new discoveries were routinely
being made because of advances in crystallography
with the reflecting goniometer and the improvements
in chemical analysis and atomic theory. Haüy had
published the Tabieau Comparatif (Paris, 1809) in an
attempt to support his original theories and provide
a more recent listing of mineral species according to
his classification system. Lucas begins the second
part with a general description of the collection of
minerals in the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. He then
provides a synopsis of the distribution of minerals
adopted from Haüy's 1809 work. A discussion and
description of the minerals that aggregate into products
of volcanoes is presented. This is followed by several
lists that translate the mineral species names from
French into German, Italian, Spanish, English, and
Latin. For this purpose, Lucas had gathered help from
the Italian author Giuseppe Poggi [1761—1841] and an
Englishman by the name of Russell. The text then
provides detailed descriptions of the mineral species,
some not published before, and there placement with in
the Haüyian classification. At the volumes conclusion
is a table providing descriptions of various mountain
rocks. This is an augmented abridgment of Matteo
Tondi's [1762—1835] Tabieau Synoptique d'Oréognosie
ou Connaissance des Montagnes ou Roches (Paris,
1811).

VERY SCARCE. Apparently, two variant issues of the
first volume of 1806 appear to exist. The issues differ
from each other by a substantial change in the wording
of the title page, together with smaller changes in the
beginning text. There is no evidence to suggest if these
two issues were published simultaneously or at different
times. A search of various bibliographies suggests that the
publishing firm of Levrault, Schcell et Cie. ceased to exist
around 1806, perhaps due to the death of Schcell. If this is
the case, an argument could be made that the publishing
house of Hautel bought out the business including the
remaining unsold and unbound stock of the first part of
the Tableau Méthodique. A new title page was created with
the imprint of Hautel, and subsequently added to volumes
creating the variant, perhaps later issue. The text of the
volume remains substantially unchanged. As stated earlier,
no evidence has been uncovered to suggest which issue if
either is first; however, on the whim of this bibliographer,
the copies with the second title page are considered the
second issue.

Ludwig enrolled at the University of Leipzig in 1728.
There he studied medicine and natural history, especially
botany. He must have made a favorable impression,
because in 1731, when JOHANN ERNST HEBENSTREIT was
appointed to mount an expedition to Africa to be financed
by the Saxon government, he asked Ludwig, his student,
to accompany him. On Ludwig's return to Leipzig, he
continued his medical studies, and in 1736 was awarded
an M.D. In 1740, he was named professor extraordinary of
medicine and in 1755 professor of Anatomy and Chirugie,
followed by pathology in 1758. He was elected dean of the
faculty. Ludwig wrote extensively in the fields on medicine
and natural history, particularly botany.

not only his own extensive reference collection, but a
number of other public and private ones as well; thus the
amount of study material at the authors disposal was
very large. Besides his own competent observations, the
author gives a summary of earlier literature and work
of other mineralogists. The book becomes, therefore, a
complete series of monographs covering the important
mineral localities of the region. Arrangement of the
species is by a chemical classification, with detailed
discussion of crystallization, occurance, and mineral
associations. In the case of common species, such as
galena, a greater geological description of the particular
regions involved is given. The plates show figures
of the notable species together with their spherical
projections. A chart of the region showing the mineral
viens is added as are detailed ones for Andreasberg and
Clausthal.

Lumen Animae
sermons for preachers, to explain the natural and
moral world. Collison gives the following descripton:
"The anonymous Lumen Animae, compiled about 1300,
comprises two books of 75 titles and 267 chapters
respectively. These chapters are arranged in rough
alphabetical order. The materials collected in them are
drawn chiefly from patristic sources or moral writers,
and there are few items dealing with the natural
sciences." This first printing was the work of Anton
Sorg [see note below].

SCARCE. The author was formerly Warden of
Goldfields. "We have no hesitation in placing this
comprehensive Manual before the mining community
and public generally. The extensive practical experience
of the author throughout the Australasian gold and
silver fields, as well as his recognition by the highest
English scientific authorities, gives warranty to the
deductions he has arrived at with regard to the gold
fields of the Australian colonies. The unique and
graphic description of the why and wherefore many
mines have failed to pay is in itself a useful and
instructive work to intending investors in gold mining
ventures; whilst to the practical miner, every care has
been taken to afford concise information of a nature
that will be appreciated, whether it be mining manager,
prospector, or ordinary miner." — Preface.

VERY SCARCE. This guide to the mineral
collections in the Kelvingrove Museum Glasgow,
Scotland was written to also serve as an introductory
text to the study of mineralogy. The text first
illustrates broad principals of the science, then it uses
a systematic arrangement of the collection to reinforce
those principals. A student using this guide to view the
Museum's collection can move case to case and examine
specimen properties such as crystal form, chemical
composition, physical and optical properties. Then the
student can progress to the systematic collection and
work from elements to complex oxides, pseudomorphs,
and precious stones. A concluding section gives a
history of the collection. A map on page 7 shows the
arrangement of the cases.

Ramon Rúa Figueroa. (BORN: Santiago de Compostela,
Spain, cl820; DIED: 1874) Spanish mining engineer &
science historian. Rúa Figueroa's brother Jose, doctor
and journalist, was outstanding member of the liberal
fight, ideology that had to share Ramon Rúa with greater
moderation. Engineer of mines, their writings have
importance by the critical information that they contain
as far as the procedures of mining operation in many
Spanish deposits, to which are united proposals for the
improvement. In its publications official protectionism
occurs to enhancement to the economic aspects, in
matters such as to determined industries, that it deplores;
thus, several of their works can be inserted in the
controversy around the convenience of which the State is
or nonproprietor of the mining operations. Rúa is opposite
all state interventionism and attributes to this situation
the pos-tración that the extractive industries undergo. In
collaboration with Eugene Maffei (v.), she was Rúa author
of the work the Hispanic and Latin American mining,
reviewed in the mentioned voice, fundamental repertoire for
the historical investigation in the matter and other relatives
by marriage.

Rare. Posthumously published, this remarkable
and evolutionary treatise was treated with skepticism
by contemporary researchers, although its theories
have largely been shown correct. Even when it was
published, the controversy the ideas it contained were
enough for the publisher to disguise the author's true
name by encrypting it to read "Tallimed" (the reverse
of Malliet). By using the device of an imaginary voyage
to India by a French missionary, and by presenting the
work's philosophy as the beliefs of an Indian mystic,
Maillet sought to make palatable his pre-Darwinian
theories of evolution. Malliet denied that God was
not an omniscient overseer, states that the earth is
more than two billion years in age, and believed in
the possibility that life in the sea could be transformed
into life on the land. He further concludes that such
transformations happened not only in the distant past
but is continuing to the present time.
The work was not published until ten years after
de Maillet 's death, and even then reluctantly, by his
friend the Abu Le Mareia, who was also responsible
for the work's dedication to Cyrano de Bergerac. Even
though it was a posthumous publication, Le Mascrier
still found it easier to attribute the work to an Indian
philosopher by the name of Telliamed rather than give
Malliet as the actual author, perhaps in an attempt
to avoid controversy. It is thought that Diderot
was heavily influenced by this work in his shift from
deism to atheism, and Sabin comments that it was
'long supposed to have suggested to Mr. Darwin his
celebrated theory'.

petrified crabs and snakes in the form of an epistle, to
which Philipp Jakob Sachs von Löwenhaimb [1627-1672]
replied in the same year with another on the marvelous
nature of stones. The finding of a snake of stone in the
stomach of a stag caused Major to wonder why only
the snake was petrified and no portion of the stag, and
to declare that human life hardly suffices to explore
even a tenth part of the portents which are of daily
occurence." — Thorndike

Rar.E. This catalog, attributed to C.G.
Malacarne by Partsch, describes a mineral collection
purchased by the Italian goverment from the Freiberg
Berakademie. It was intented that this acqusition
would be used to instruct students in mineralogy, and
this book is in part a product of that goal. The
volume begins with a long introduction describing
the criteria used to identify various species and
stressing the importance of chemistry and crystal
structure in mineral determination. A review of
the classification systems of Werner and Haiiy is
then given, after which the catalog is presented. It
is arranged according to the second mineralogical
system of Abraham GOTTLOB WERNER, as outlined in
Beschreibung einer auserlesenen Mineraliensammlung
(Dresden, 1807). Each of the 462 mineral specimens
listed is carefully portrayed with references to
synonyms, localities, physical and chemical qualities
and crystallography. Indexes listing mineralogical
synonyms and an alphabetical list of the described
minerals conclude the work.

Rare. In his Traité de Cristallographie Mallard
presents the subject with clarity, and describes the
geometrical and physical properties of crystals and
proposes a classification system. Taking as his
starting point the researches of AUGUSTE BRAVAIS,
Mallard studied those crystals that appeared to have
greater symmetry than their optical properties would
indicate and which the important new polarizing
microscope showed the importance of twinning in these
"crystalline edifices." He introduced the concept of a
pseudosymmetry as an explanation of such crystals. He
summarized his ideas in the Traité de Cristallographie
that began to appear in 1879. The first volume
described geometrical crystallography, lattice theory,
and crystal morphology. In 1884 the second volume
was published and it described crystal physics. In
this work, for the first time, the difficult mathematical
concepts introduced by Bravais to lattice theory were
reduced to a comfortable and understandable clarity
for nonspecialists. Unfortunately, a planned third
volume that was to cover isomorphism, polymorphism,
twinning, pseudosymmetry, and crystal growth, was
never completed, although individual articles especially
with respect to twins were published separately. In
all his work, Mallard developed and extended Bravais'
lattice theory, especially with respect to the importance
of crystal faces and twins.

within the framework of an emission theory of light.
Malus was a skilled mathematician and during 1807
he had carried out experiments on double refraction.
By December 1808 Malus had finished his experimental
investigations, which verified the Huygenian law. What
remained was a theoretical deduction of the law. In
January 1809, Laplace published a memoir in which
he deduced Huygens' law within the framework of
Newtonian mechanics, using the principle of least
action, and Malus considered this an insolence which
deprived him of the priority. In 1810 Malus won the
prize for his 'Théorie de la double réfraction,' published
in 1811 [sic]. Here he deduced the law following the
same method as Laplace, by means of the principle
of least action. Malus won the prize therefore mainly
because of his original experimental researches and his
discussion of the short-range forces that produce double
refraction. Also of great importance was his law for the
relative intensities of the ordinary and extraordinary
rays."D.S.B., IX, p. 73.

Mandeville, which was probably a pseudonym, was
the author of the book generally known as Travels of Sir John
Mandeville, written in Norrnan French between 1357 and
1371. Virtually nothing is known of Mandeville. Much of
the book was borrowed from narratives written by several
world travelers and compiled into an entertaining first-
person narrative, a compendium of medieval knowledge and
speculation concerning such places as Jerusalem, India, and
China.

EXTREMELY RARE. Editio Princeps. Attributed to
Mandeville this lapidary written in the French language
first appeared in manuscripts that date from the middle
14th century. Pannier (1882) describes and compares
several such manuscripts that had come under his
inspection, and concludes that the text was probably
not an authentic work of Mandeville. Instead, Pannier
believes it to be the work of an unnamed jeweler.
The text describes the most important precious
stones and many others of a fantastic nature. It begins
by coping from Mar.BODE, the leading lapidary of the
period, descriptions of about two dozen stones. Then
'с&ы
Le lapidaire en francoys, c1495
are given descriptions of other stones and minerals both
imaginary and real including pumice, mica, alabaster,
and lapis lazuli. Stones formed in the human body
or the bodies of animals are very prominent, as these
bezoar and eaglestones were believed to bestow on their
owner marvelous or supernatural power.
Due to the extreme rarity of all of the early
editions the printing history of this work is a
difficult bibliographical problem. The widely unknown
incunabula edition described above was first noticed
and examined in detail by David J. Shaw, whose
information is copied (person communication). This
is most probably the first printing of Mandeville's
Lapidaire, although Klebs (1938) who copies Claudin
(1900) briefly describes a tantalizing Lapidaire written
in French and published at Lyon in 1477 that is perhaps
a still earlier printing. The difficult to read manuscript
description of this 1477 book published in Pellechet
(1970) does not mention Mandeville's name, but the
work deserves closer examination.

Marbode, whose true name was "de Marboeuf,"
received his early education at Angers. After teaching some
time at the cathedral school of Angers, he was put at the
head of the educational system of the city and Diocese
of Anvers in 1067. Later he became archdeacon and in
1096 Urban II appointed him Bishop of Rennes. In his
youth he indulged in many excesses, but from the time he
became bishop his life was without reproach. In 1104 he
was present at the Council of Tours, and in 1109 he was
made administrator of the Diocese of Angers. At the age
of eighty-eight he resigned his diocese and withdrew to the
Benedictine monastery of St. Aubin at Angers where he
died soon after.

In the historians' task to determine the origins
of the Scientific Revolution, some few have looked
no further back than the nineteenth century while
most have concentrated instead on the drama of the
Copernican Revolution. The search seldom delves back
to the allegedly superstitious middle ages except as a
contrast to the rational, modern scientific age or the
scientific-becoming age. In his monumental Etudes sur
Leonard de Vince (Paris, 1906-13) and other works,
Pierre Duhem did much to persuade historians to look
still further back in time; but his effort' was a pioneer
work in the search for the antecedents to sixteenth
century science. Lynn Thorndike (History of Magic
and Experimental Science, 8 vols. [New York, 1923-
58]) contributed heavily to a search for the medieval
origins of science but his effort was so tremendous, so
detailed, that he never synthesized the meaning.
As early as the eleventh century some medievalists
see a changing world-outlook - a phrase used by
Jacob Burckhardt to describe the Italian Ren-aissance.
Some few believe that science was a gradual process,
stimulated by economic revival and a new attitude
toward manual work, of separating the supernatural
from the natural and of believing that knowledge was
power. In this context Marbode of Rennes' De lapidibus
("On stones") is studied. There is a new spirit in his
work, not seen in earlier lapidaries, which emphasizes
that the knowledge of stones is useful and a means
of power for men. Marbode's lapidary then becomes
the model for numerous subsequent treatises. More

important, the utility of the stone-lore, however magical
some of it may seem to moderns, was a constant
theme. This trend toward practicality makes a study
of De lapidibus a revealing in- sight into the formulation
period of the 'Renaissance of the Twelfth Century'.
Riddle in a compliation of manuscript lapidaires
A total of 616 lapidary manuscripts, mostly in
Latin, were noted and of these 125 were Marbode's De
lapidibus in Latin.' At once, this makes lapidaries one
of the more popular, if not the most popular, types of
medieval scientific literature. By far Marbode's treatise
was the greatest "best-seller" for many centuries in
its category. In addition to the Latin text, there are
also numerous vernacular translations. Little studied
by historians of science, the lapidaries are regarded
as little more than superstition. Linguists have paid
some attention to lapidaries because some translations
of Marbode's poem were among the earliest examples
of vernacular dialects.' But why this immense and
extraordinary popularity? That is the question which
led me to study Marbode.
A probable answer to the question of Marbode's
popularity was that his work was employed as a
practical guide to medicine. Its study reveals a
glimpse of how medicine was actually being practiced.
Marbode's in-tention in writing was, as he tells us in
his Prologue, to reveal the secrets concerning stones.
He says that King Evax of Arabia sent information
about the stones to the Emperor Tiberius (14 A.
D. - 37). There is a danger, he feared, that the
mysterious powers would be diminished by vulgari-
zation, but, nonetheless, he feels compelled to pass
them on to his priv-ileged readers. His concern is
with the stones' descriptions, locations and powers,
specifically mentioning the 'art of medicine'. Marbode's
modern reader may feel less privileged in knowing the
secrets and more disturbed that the age so ascribed to
inanimate objects such miraculous qualities admixed
with glimpses of 'enlightened' pharmacy. Doubtlessly
Marbode would be equally disturbed by modern man's
reaction. Life has individu-ality, he might argue, in
man, beast, herb and stone. Each stone's character,
its life as it were, can be known by God's grace. God
has given each its own special powers. Important to the
understanding of the origins of modern science is noting
that a new attitude of how to 'use' knowledge was
developing. There was a new critical judgment which
led to Bacon's proposition that knowledge is power.
Antiquity and the early middle ages were not concerned
with a quantitative analysis of a mineral's components.
Indeed, there was no recognizable definition of what
constituted a mineral. The explanation sought of
a mineral or stone was: "What is its virtus?"
Only indirectly related is the matter of its physical
composition, as Diet-linde Goltz recently observed in
her general study of pre-rnodern mineral nomenclatures
Constantly Marbode tells his readers that the stones
are power-laden and this power is to be exploited
by men, who know the secrets. Perhaps beginnning
with Marbode, the late medieval lapidarists placed an
emphasis on the mystical and practical virtues of each
stone which starts a line of development from his De
lapidibus to Albert the Great's De mineralibus and to
Georg Agricola's De re metallica. The emphasis on
the use of stones is a new development of the late
eleventh century - although Marbode certainly took his
information from ancient sources.'
In general, there are three types of lapidary
literature. The scientific lapidary was derived from such
writers as Theophrastos, Dioscorides, Damigeron and
Galen. Secondly, the magical or astrological lapidary,
traced by some authors to Alexandrian writings, did not
enjoy the pop-ularity of the first category. Finally, the
Christian lapidary or Christian symbolic lapidary was
an ever popular from, especially in the early middle
ages.' The Christian symbolic lapidaries describe the
twelve stones men-tioned for Aaron's breastplate in
Exodus or in the Apocalyptic literature." Although
formulated by such scholars as Joan Evans and George
Sarton,7 these three categories are handy for casual
classification; but they are not mutually exclusive, and
in fact often overlap. In this light, Marbode's De
lapidibus should be regarded as an example of the
scientific variety; however, Marbode would probably
neither understand nor have any patience with such
sophistic categories, since most lapidarists drew on all
knowledge about stones and were not so restricted as to
form. Marbode, in fact, wrote three smaller lapidaries
which are not so readily classified.
All three discuss the twelve Christian stones which
would seemingly make them a member of the third
category. Marbode's first small lapidary in verse would
routinely be of the Christian symbolic, as well as the
third lapidary whose content is also mostly Christian
symbolism. The middle one, however, discusses the
medical uses of the twelve Christian stones, thus making
it possible also to classify it as a scientific lapidary.
Thus, even these three small Marbodean lapidaries defy
the categorical classi-fication system.

De Gemmarum Lapidumq, 1539
VERY RARE. Edited by Alaard (of Amsterdam) [see
note below] and published by Hero Fuchs [=Alopecius].
Alaard had a much more complete and correct manuscript
that did Pictorius so that this edition contains 100
more verses of the original poem. He also added the
variants of the text, extracts from the works of Plinius,
Dioscorides, Galen, Philo, Hegesippus, Orígenes, St. Basil,
Gregory of Nazianzus, Chrysostomos, Marsilio Ficino,
Ermolao Bárbaro, as well as Pictorius' annotations and
his own scholia, which he titled "Praecipuas Gemmarum
Lapidumque Pretiosorm Explicationes."
Beginning on folio 76, in the section titled,
"Marbodaei sive potius incerti auctoris versus aliquot
hactenus desiderati," Alaard has included 93 other
verses describing 16 precious stones not included in the
original poem of Marbodaeus. These describe: capnites,
ophthalmius, obsianus, ignites, diadochos, exebenus,
lingurus, daphnius, mennonius, galactites, odontes, lapis
qui fronte nascitur asini, trisutes, phrygius, sarcophagus,
and specularis lapis. These verses have been included (with
his variants of reading) in several subsequent editions of
the work. His dedictatory letter and his preface to the
reader were reprinted in the critical edition of Marbodus
edited by Beckmann (Göttingen, 1799; see entry below),
where his variants and some of his annotations are also
to be found. Alaard dedicated this edition to Georg of
Egmont (=Haecmondensis), Bishop of Utrecht [d. 1559],
to whom he gladly offers this work of Marbodus, which he
calls "octavum orbis miraculurn."
Alaard of Amsterdam. (BORN: Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, 1491; DIED: Louvain, France, 1544) Dutch
theologian & poet. Alaard first studied at Köln, later
at Louvain, where he was interested in theology, Latin,
Greek, and Hebrew. In 1520, he became an instructor
at Louvain, where he held lectures on the grammer of
Erasmus. Most of his many writings are theological
in nature, but he was also the editor, commentator
and translator of works by Baerland, Budé, Hippocrates,
Huisman (Agrícola), Marbode, and Theophylactos, and
thus played an important role in the scientific literature
of the 16th century.

SCARCE. Edited by Johann Beckmann [see note

early edition because of the inclusion of notes and citations
from previous editions, including those of Pictorius and
Alaard.
Johann Beckmann. (BORN: Hoya near the Weser,
Germany, 4 June 1739; DIED: Göttingen, Germany, 3
February 1811) German biologist. Beckmann studied at
Göttingen from 1758 to 1762. He then taught at the
German Gymnasium in St. Petersburg from 1765-6. After
an extensive trip through Sweden and Denmark, Beckmann
secured a position at the University of Göttingen, where
he remained. He was a member of the Gesellschaft
der Wissenschaften [Society of Science] in Göttingen
1776, Leopoldina 1761, and Baryerischen Akademie der
Wissenschaften 1809.

RARE. Marcellini describes the mineralogical
world with considerable attention to the chemical
composition of the species. According to the preface,
the author's interest in the subject began in 1785 with
the opening of a new pyrite mine near Fabriano that
produced a great variety of minerals. He built a fine
collection of these specimens and other geological and
palaenotological samples from localities scattered across
Italy and Europe that formed the basis of his Trattato.

Rare. Co-authored by Pietro Palmaroli [see
note below]. This is the first appearance of an early,
important study on the manufacturing of pigments and
paints with the express aim of helping the reader to
understand the colors used by the great painters of
the Renaissance and 17th century. Since many of
these pigments were based on the mixing of crushed
minerals with some type of binder, this work has a
peripheral interest in the science of mineralogy. It
is the earliest analysis of plant-, mineral- and animal
based pigments used in the paintings of the Renaissance
masters and later artists. The various varnishes used
are also discussed, as are the many sizing, and binding
agents used. This work is expressly aimed at the
professional picture restorer, with particular emphasis
on the paints and working methods of Fra Bartolomeo,
Raphael, Titian, Paolo Veronese, and Rubens.
In 1816, the more common second edition was
published, and in 1833 a third edition appeared.
Pietro Palmaroli. (BORN: 1778; DIED: 1828) Italian
art expert. Palmaroli was the leading picture restorer
of his time and the inventor of 'rimozione a stacco', or
the technique of removing a fresco from a wall without
damaging either the fresco or the wall. In 1823, Palmaoli
was called to Dresden and appointed chief restorer of the
picture collection there.

MARIVETZ, Etienne Claude de, Baron. (Born:
Långres, France, cl728; DIED: Paris, France, 26
February 1794) French physicist.
Marivetz was the son of an extremely wealthy ice
manufacturer in Dijon but later in his life he made
poor investments where he lost much of his fortune.
Early on he became interested in astronomy and physics,
moving to Paris where he studied the sciences with great
determination. A few months after the success of the
Montgolfier brothers, he carried out his own aerostatic
experiments. From 1784 he lived in Långres, and when
the Revolution reached the town, Marivetz was sent back
to Paris, where he was guillotined.

RARE. This is the only and unfinished edition of
an ambitious project that ultimately bankrupted the
author. Prepared in collaboration with Louis Jacques
Goussier [see note below], it includes 20 partly hand-
colored plates in folio that includes very good renderings
of a microscope, a camera obscura, a telescope, and
astronomical systems. The work's scope was to provide
a description and general theory of physical geography
by developing the theory from principals of celestial
physics. Thus in this cosmogony Marivetz would
attempt to explain the earth's and particularly France's
geography and physical history and attempt through
the framework of their theory to forecast future events.
Hoefer calls the work very rare because the unsold
copies were confiscated during the Revolution and
destroyed after Marivetz's execution. The work was
never completed and ended with the publication of the
second part of volume five.

Rare. Calling itself a prospectus this is a strange
book being a long advertisement for the author's La
Physique des Gens du Monde (5 vols., Paris, 1780-7)
and partly a work of science and economics. Some
of the chapter headings are: "Plan d'un nouveau
régime pour l'Administration des Ponts &z Chaussées,"
"Observations sommaires sur les Corvées," "Sur la
Machine de Marly," "Canal de Berry," "Aqueduc de
Maintenon," "Lettre sur la maniere de bâtir des Grecs
&; des Romains," and "Dérivation de la Loire." There
are two further chapters describing the contents of past
and future volumes of La Physique des Gens du Monde.

Marsili
MARSIGLI (Marsili), Luigi Ferdinando, Conte.
(BORN: Bologna, Italy, 20 July 1658; DIED: Bologna,
Italy, 1 January 1730) Italian aristrocrat & naturalist.
Marsigli was born to a noble family of Bologna. He
did not complete his formal schooling, but he accumulated
a vast knowledge of history, politics, geography, and the
natural sciences. He undertook the exploration of two
basic subjects: the structure of mountains and the natural
condition of the sea, lakes, and rivers. He left many
local observations concerning the structure of mountains.
In 1724 he published the first treatise on oceanography,
Histoire physique de ¡a mer. In it he examined every aspect of
the subject, including the physical (or geological) formation
of basins and the plants and fish that lived in the sea.
He founded the Accademia delle scienze dell'Istituto di
Bologna in 1712. He served in the army of Emperor
Leopold I, partly as an engineer, from 1682 to 1704, and
attained high rank. He was used by the Emperor on
diplomatic missions to the Pope and in peace negotiations
with the Turks. This employment ended in dishonor when
Marsili was involved in the surrender of Breisach. In
1708, when imperial troops threatened the Papal States
during the War of the Spanish Succession, Marsili headed
the Papal army. And later, about 1715, he inspected the
defenses of the Papal States against possible Turkish raids
on the Adriatic coast. He spent considerable time during
his retirement along the French coast near Marseilles.
Much of his study of the sea stems from these stays.
Marsili participated in the Accademia degli Inquieti
in Bologna. In 1702 he built an observatory in his palace.
He collected a museum. In 1712 he founded the Academia
delle Scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna, which under his
influence, immediately became an active center of scientific
research, consisting mainly of natural history exploration
of the area around Bologna. The Institute absorbed in
Accademia degli Inquieti. In founding the Institute, Marsili
gave it his collection and gave his house to the city for the
Institute. In 1715, a member of the Académie Royale des
Sciences, replacing Viviani. He was a member also of the
Académie Royale des Sciences of Montpellier. He went to
London in 1722 to be made a member of the Royal Society.
Newton insisted on presenting hirn personally and praised
him as both an already famous scientist and a founder of
the new Academy of Bologna. He produced a mineralogical
map of the Danube basin, showing mining sites with some
geology.

RARE. The second paper in Italian describing
the famous Bolognian stone (phosphorescent barite)
was Marsigli's Del Fosforo Minerale that contained
illustrations of the subject. Originally Marsigli had
intended to publish the booklet as a present for ROBERT
BOYLE but had set it aside in 1691 after Boyle's
death. The text was abstracted in the Philosophical
Transactions of 1698 (see: 20, 306). The author was
dissatisfied with the current explanation of the light
emission and thinks the stone is reflecting more light
than it is transmitting. He also preformed chemical
analysis of the stone which he regarded as a type of talc
and found that it contained sulfur and what he thought
was mercury.

VERY RARE. Marsigli's most ambitous of literary
projects was proposed in 1700 in the Danudialis Operis
Prodromus. Copies began to circulate in 1701, when
readers everywhere could see for themselves what
Marsigli had visualised. A dedication to the Fellows
of the Royal Society of London which expressed his
gratitude, begging for advice and corrections as well
as encouragement, with an admission that he would
be dedicating to Emperor Leopold the six volumes
whose contents were described in the following pages.
There was also inserted a specimen page showing the
title of the work to be presented to Leopold, with

its lines printed alternately in red and black ink,
and using no less than ten different type faces. In
Marsigli's judgment, as in that of many contemporaries,
great works offered to great men required this sort of
ornament. Meanwhile more remained to be done to
complete the definitive manuscript volumes and arrange
for their publication. Fortunately everything seemed
well in hand at a moment when Marsigli came nearest
to what he wanted most, an elevated role in political
affairs. Events conspired however, to cause the final
work to be delayed for a quarter of a century.

Rare. An early and lavishly illustrated basic work
on the natural history of the Danube river. Marsigli
describes the natural history, antiquity, geography,
the flora and fauna, mineralogy and geology of the
Danube region between Vienna and the confluence
of the river Jantra in Bulgaria. The first volume
concerns geography, hydrography and astronomy. The
second which describes the Roman and other ancient
monuments in fact marks the beginning of the scientific
archaeological studies in Bulgaria. The third part
describes mining, fossils and minerals. This volume
is divided into eight sections describing alluvium and
stones of the Danube, metal deposits, various mines,
structure of mountains, fossils and types of gypsum,
gold, silver, copper, iron, antimony, mercury and the
formation of metals. Volume four describes fish and
other aquatic species of the river, and volume five
the birds of the region. The final volume provides
miscellaneous observations not covered in the previous
volumes on the insects, plants, birds and animals.
The maps were engraved after J. C. Müller by
G. C. Eimmart and Chr. Fleischmann. The riverbed
between the Kalenberg near Vienna and the Jantra
confluence in Bugaria is mapped on eighteen sheets.
This work was begun as early as 1703 and many of
the engravings were executed about the same time in
Bologna, the author's home town. The plates are
of outstanding quality and include illustratations of
mining by F.M. Francis and a fine series of birds by R.
Manzini with the first published illustrations of nests
and eggs. This edition, printed for subsribers only,
consists of a press run of only 350 copies.

MARTINI, Friedrich Heinrich Wilhelm. (Born:
Ohrdruf, Herzogth. Gotha, Germany, 31 August
1729; DIED: Berlin, Germany, 27 June 1778) German
physician & naturalist.
Martini had a medical practice in Arten from 1758
to 1762, before relocating to Berlin. He founded the
important and influential Gesellschaft naturforschender
Freunde (Society of nature researcher Friends).

The Compilers of dictionaries had two large banks from
which to rob: Linnaeus' Systema Naturas and Button's
Histoire Naturelle. They would abstract and arrange the
contents of these works alphabetically. As a result the
reader got Linnaeus' exactness and Buffon's fine writing in
both science and literature. Creation of such dictionaries
reached it zenith with the extravagant works of Houttyun's
Natuurkyke Historie of Uitvoerige Beschryving der
Dieren, Planten en Mineralen, published in thirty-seven
volumes (1761-85), and Valmont de Bomare's Dictionaire
Raisoné Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, that appeared
in at least five editions, and Danish, Dutch, Italian and
Russian translations. There was also Martini's Allgemeine
Geschichte der Natur in alfabetischer Ordnung (1774),
which ambitiously built on Bomare's Dictionaire and
invited its readers to participate in making anew edition by
filling out pages left blank for the purpose. The new edition
would not be complete, extending into the letter "C" in 11
volumes. In natural history, Martini said, "complete is a
harmonious sound without meaning."

Rare. Allgemeine Geschichte der Natur or "The
General History of Nature" by Friedrich Heinrich
Martini and J. Krunitz is one of a number of
large, comprehensive dictionaries of nature that were
published during the 18th century. Written in the style
of the French dictionaries like Valmont de Bomare's,
this work of natural history and botany covers animals,
entomology, plants, geology, minerals, fossils, and more,
with many of the illustrative plates designed by the
distinguished artists of the age like Seligmann, Maria
Sibylla Merian, Edwards, Catesby, Knorr, Roesel,
Martini, etc. These plates were mostly engraved by J.
Schmidt in Berlin. Unlike many of the contemporary
French works, however, this book is alphabetical in
its treatment of the subject. Apparently it was not
a profitable venture either, and was never completed,
with the 11 volumes that appeared extending only from
the letter A through entries beginning with 'Cog'.

VERY RARE. A highly respected work that
develops an understanding of concepts in what
was then modern crystallography through historical
perspective. As a result, the book covers the history
of crystallography from ancient times to 1824. The
development is told by describing the contributions of
the individuals in chronological order. The text is
divided into six sections, each representing a specific
time period. The first covers the ancient Greek and
Roman researches. The others span (2) Albertus
Magnus to Robert Boyle, (3) Nicolaus Steno to
Johann Henckel, (4) Carl Linné to Jean Baptiste Louis
Rome de l'Isle, (5) René Just Haüy to Henry James
Brooke, and (6) Abraham Gotthelf Kästner to Friedrich
Mohs. The name index lists about 300 researches,
whose contributions are described in the text. The
plates illustrate various concepts brought forth in the
discussion by reproducing recognizable figures from
important crystallographic works.

RARE. Second edition of this famous collection
of mining sermons by Luther's first biographer. This
collection of 16 of the author's sermons on mining topics,
ranging in theme from the history and mechanics of
mining to the various metals, minerals, and precious
stones (gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, bismuth, boron,
alum, saltpeter, etc.) that are mined to various smelting
processes (including that of the Old Testament miner
Malachi in Jeremiah). Other subjects include the proper
amount of precious metal to share with God, the making
of coins and glass, the role of the father in the family
household, the Phillipian miners in ancient Greece, Saint
Paul's Kpistles to the Phillipians, and the uses of various
metals for religious purposes. In each chapter, Mathesius
takes great pains to explain the relationship between the
material discussed and God, the church, etc.
After the sermons, there are four additional chapters.
Two of these are devoted to Protestant miner's hymns and
include fine examples of printed music, along with complete
lyrics and notes. Another is a commentary on the 133rd
psalm.
There are three extensive printed tables. The first
presents a chronicle of Joachimsthal from 1516 to 1563 and
includes blank forms for the following 16 years. The other
two provide information on production of the local mines
in weight and in value. Also included is a list of the biblical
passages referenced throughout the text, in biblical order,
with page references for this text.
Some scholars have argued that the second sermon
contains the first appearance in print of the famous German
proverb, "Der apffel felt nicht weyt vom bäum/ vnnd das
kalb gereth gewonigklich nach der kue" (The apple does
not fall far from the tree/ and the calf usually resembles
the cow), found on the thirteenth leaf. The title word,
Sarepta, refers to a biblical mining town in Lebanon, the
subject of the first chapter.

MAWE, John. (BORN: Derbyshire, England, 1764;
DIED: London, England, 26 October 1829) English
mining engineer, mineral dealer & mineralogist.
Mawe spent his early life at sea as a merchant marine,
but gave the life up and began dealing in minerals. Mawe
was commissioned to collect British minerals for the King
of Portugal. At the invitation of the King he made
an extensive tour of Brazil, but was for a short time
imprisioned at Montevideo. After his death, his mineral
business and stock were acquired by JAMES Tennant. He
was a member of the Geological Society of London and the
Mineralogical Society of Jena.

VERY SCARCE. The first book by this noted
mineralogist. Mawe was commissioned by the King
of Spain to make a survey of the Derbyshire mines in
England, so that "an exact representation" of them,
showing specimens from each stratum, etc., could be
prepared for the King's natural history cabinet. The
three plates show geological cross-sections, while the
map is of Derbyshire and shows the locations of the
various mines.

woman of Sao Paulo in "clothes which do not appear to
be a faithful reproduction" (Borba). Other plates show the
washing of gold, atopezmine, machines used in mining, the
appearance of goldor diamond-bearing ore, the crystalline
structure of diamonds, topaz and tourmaline, and Brazilian
shells. The author also included a map of his route from Rio
de Janeiro to Canto-Gallo, Villa-Rica, and Tejuco. Borba
mentions that the view of the mining camp at Jaragua
is the first landscape known to show the interior of Sao
Paulo.
Mawe seems to have spent many of his early years at
sea. In the late 18th c. he collected minerals in England
for the King of Spain. When war broke out between
England and Spain in 1804, he was detained at Cadiz
and then again at Montevideo. He was only released after
Beresford captured Montevideo, and soon afterward began
his journey to Rio de Janeiro and then into Minas Geraes.
After his return to England in 1811, he opened a shop in
the Strand and wrote books on mineralogy.

VERY SCARCE. Always the businessman, Mawe
knew that he had to increase his sale of mineral
collections, he had to educate his customers about
mineralogy. To facilitate this premise, he prepared
several small works that explained basic terminology
and concepts about mineralogy and geology. Mawe
also offered classes in mineralogical science on the
premises of his establishment in Soho. A Descriptive
Catalogue of Minerals (1st ed., 1815) is one of these
small texts. It begins by mentioning various collections
of minerals for sale at Mawe's shop. The text then
explains the use and technique of the blow-pipe as
well as various terrnninology that the beginner will
encounter. Concluding the introduction is a description
of the lapidary's apparatus for creating gemstones.
The main text is a descriptive catalog of various
minerals species the collector can expect to encounter,
and all presumably available for sale in Mawe's shop.
Descriptions include localities, crystal forms, chemical
makeup, etc. Appendicies list new mineral species and
various types of rocks.

VERY SCARCE. Second edition of Mawe's catalogue of
minerals. Mawe was a practical mineralogist, who made
a tour of most of the mines in England and Scotland,
collecting minerals for the cabinet of the king of Spain.
During an adventurous voyage to Spain and Montevideo,
he was given special permission to visit the diamond mines
of Minaes Geraes in Brazil. On his return to London, he
he opened a mineralogical shop in the Strand.

to teach his customers about mineralogy. In order to
facilitate this premise, he prepared several small works
that explained basic terminology and concepts about
mineralogy and geology. Mawe also offered classes in
mineralogical science on the premises of his establishment
in Soho. A Descriptive Catalogue of Minerals (1st ed., 1815)
is one of these small texts. It begins by mentioning
various collections of minerals for sale at Mawe's shop.
The text then explains the use and technique of the blow-
pipe as well as various terminology that the beginner will
encounter. Concluding the introduction is a description of
the lapidary's apparatus for creating gemstones. The main
text is a concise descriptive catalog of various minerals
species the collector can expect to encounter, and all
presumably available for sale in Mawe's shop. Descriptions
include localities, crystal forms, chemical makeup, etc.
Appendices list new mineral species and various types of
ri icks.

PLATES: The hand-colored frontispiece shows two
scenes. 1. Raked from the rivulet for gold and diamonds.
2. Section of the strata at matlock high Tor. Derbyshire.
The two engraved plates show Primitive Rocks (p. 41) and
Portable Lapidaries' Apparatus (p. 73).
Rare. An introductory work for used by the
beginning mineralogist to explain terms and introduce
concepts of mineralogy. Mawe first published this
very popular work in 1819, and continued to revise
and reissue it through 1830 and twelve editions. The
basic format of the work changed little over the
period, however. It is a wonderful work, written from
the viewpoint of practical experience, and includes
basic observations on minerals, gems, geology and the
lapidary craft. The colored plate of minerals shows 22
finely executed renderings of various mineral species.
The text was only marginally changed through the
subsequent editions [which see below].

VERY SCARCE. A textbook approaching the
description and classification of minerals through
physical-chemical properties. Within the first volume,
Mayer divides the species into those that are metallic
with a further division by one of five crystal systems,
and those that are metallic with no definite form such as
mercury. Contained in the second volume, the author
continues his descriptive scheme by classifying the non-
metallic salts by crystal morphology. A series of tables
(pp. 88-261) group the mineral species by hardness
on Mohs scale and provide information on physical
properties, crystal morphology, and chemical properties
for each species listed.

VERY RARE. Apparantly the sole edition published
of an interesting work on natural philosophy by
Benedetto Mazzota, professor of theology at the
University of Bologna and member of the Benedictine
Order. The first part contains a survey of meteorology

Mead
as it was known at the time of the writer, with particular
attention being given to comets and meteors. The
second part contains a description of minerals and
metals (pp. 153-208) and is partly alchemical while the
last portion deals with astrology.
Mazzotta still belonged to the Old School of
Bologna scientists, speculating on the powers of the
elements, the planets and precious stones, and believing
that the earth remained immobile at the centre of the
universe "against what Copernicus said and the Church
condemned." The work beautifully illustrates scientific
knowledge at the threshold of modern science, which
would increasingly be based on experiments rather than
on philosophic speculation. Mazzotta defended fire as
an element, and although in this connection he held that
comets could well pass through the sphere of fire and
be elevated above the moon, he still regarded them as
terrestrial exhalations and held elsewhere that many of
them remained below the moon. He opposed those who
contended that heat and cold were not distinct qualities.
He admitted that earth and water formed a single globe,
but affirmed that "no fixed truth" had yet been reached
with regard to the tides, although he inclined to ascribe
them to the moon with the concurrence of the sun and
stars. Earlier however, he had stated that the flux
and reflux was also caused by angelic movers of water.
Although a theologian, he continued the favourable
attitude towards astrology which had so long prevailed
in Bologna. He urged his readers to pay careful
attention to the annual prognostications, given by
Ovidius Montelbanus, Gassius, Grimaldi, and others,
and he still believed that through centuries past the
stars had produced memorable changes in the air and
the world. He sees eclipses, conjunctions and comets as
divine oracles. He grants there are popular impostors
in astrology, but astrological philosophy is treated at
length, with chapters on all points to be considered
before making a prediction. Comets especially are
seen as signs of great events, and the author makes a
prognostication for 1652-1653 based on the comet seen
from December 17, 1652 to January 12, 1653. And at
the end he gives forty general astrological aphorisms.
The work seems to have escaped the attention of
both alchemist and scientist, historians and collectors,
probably because it was only published once, closing
the alchemist era, and half-heartedly entering modern
science.
Bartolomeo Coriolano. (BORN: 1599; DIED: 1676) Italian
artist & engraver. Of special interest are the engraved plates
by Bartolomeo Coriolano (1599-1676), a pupil of his father
Giovanni Battista Coriolano, who died in 1649, and of
Guido Reni. He was especially gifted as draughtsman and
engraver.

Educated at Utrecht and Leyden, Mead travelled to
Italy where he received his M.D. from Padua in 1695. Upon
returning to England, he opened a medical practice first in
Stepney, then later in London. In 1703, he was appointed
a doctor at St. Thomas— Hospital. At the end of his career
he became physician to King George II. Mead was F.R.S.
(1704), being elected vice president in 1717. He was also
elected to the Royal College of Physicians (1716). His
wealth allowed him to finance his collecting and various
literary projects.

Very scarce. Scarce auction catalog. Dr.
Mead had developed a taste for classical learning
and antiquities during his education at Utrecht and
Leyden. Together with his fellow student, HERMANN
BOERHAAVE, he became an avid collector and formed
a museum. Meads professional success brought him
great wealth which he used to indulge his tastes. His
spacious home "became a repository of all that was
curious in nature and in art, to which his extensive
correspondence with the Learned in all parts of Europe
not a little contributed (Leman, 1755). He always made
his collections available for students and the curious
public. After his death, the heirs put the magnificent
library and other collections up for auction. These sales
occured from late 1754 to the summer of the following
year.
The Museum Meadianum here described is in two
parts. The first section describes the ancient and
foreign coins contained in the collection. The sale for
this part commenced on February 11, 1755 and lasted
for 8 days thereafter. The second part commencing
on page 211 describes the lots sold beginning on
March 11, 1755. This portion embraces Egyptian
artifacts, including mummies, carvings, vases, Etruscan
antiquities, statues, cut and sculptured gems, signette
rings, mineral specimens including native silvers and
golds, cassiterite, and an emerald crystal, vegetables
and animals.

VERY RARE. A monumental and often cited
study of the ancient lapidaries that in spite of
never being brought to completion, has become the
principal authority for any researcher interested in
studying the lapidary tradition. According to the
advertisement to the first volume, Mély originally
proposed to publish his work in five volumes comprising
the texts of the Chinese, Greek, Oriental (= Arabic,
Armenian, Hebrew, and Sanskrit), Latin, and Western
lapidaries, together with their French translations and
authoritative commentaries. Unfortunately, only the
first two volumes and the first Fascicle of the third
ever appeared, which cover the Chinese and Greek
lapidaries. Contemporary information suggests that
other portions of the text were in at different stages
of preparation so it is for unknown reasons the other
volumes were never published. But based on the works
rarity, especially in complete sets, it seems probably
that there may not have been much demand from the
public for such a large and expensive reference work of
such an esoteric study.
Volume one, which covers the lapidary tradition
of China, begins with a long and well referenced
introduction citing sources, authorities, previous
publications, the state of Chinese science and
technology, medical uses of stones, and other pertinent
historical information. Mély describes the main Chinese
treatise on the subject as the Wa Kan San Tsai Dzou
Te, an illustrated Sino-Japanese encyclopedia of which
only the portions dealing with metals, gemstones and
other stones are covered here. The original Chinese is
reproduced at the end of the French translation. Then
appears a large section called the "Diverse Textes" that
extracts from the works of oriental and western authors
information on stones and minerals. An annotated
glossary of terms, a short table of weights and measures
used in the Far East, and the index. Crude, but
effective woodcuts of various minerals, stones, fossils,
and ornamental objects made from them illustrate the
text.
Volume two, which was issued in two parts,
dedicates itself to the study of the ancient Greek
lapidaries, including the Cyranides (or Kryanides),
Damigeron, Socrates, Dionysius, pseudo-Dioscorides,
pseudo-Hippocrates, "Astrampsychus" (a nautical
lapidary), Epiphanius, Psellos, and the Méliténiotes
poem. Additions and corrections then follow, together
with a Greek index. The second fascicule contains
three appendices that give variants from and additions
from additional manuscripts. A short table of contents
concludes the volume.
The third volume starts with a long introduction
placing into context of its time the Greek lapidary,
together with a very useful glossary of mineral
terminology. The text provides French translations
of Theophrastus' Peri Lithon, Strabo's Geography,
Dioscorides' Materia Medica, Gl-Plutarch's Treatise on
Rivers and Mountains, and finally the Cyranides.
Sadly, publication of Les Lapidaires ceased before the
accompanying Greek text and the commentaries were
published. Never the less, if one is interested in the
old stone books, Mély's compilation is essential for the
study of Chinese and ancient Greek lapidaries even in
its incomplete state.

Mendes da Costa had a wide ranging interest in
natural history, and earned his living as a dealer in shells
and minerals and by writing and lecturing. He also took a
clerkship at the Royal Society from 1763 until 1767 when
his embezzlement of subscriptions led to his imprisionment.

Rare. This is the first volume of a proposed
multivolume work, which was never completed due to
an insufficent number of subscribers. It contains the
preface and descriptions of Earths and Stones. This
volume also contains an interesting description and a
frontispiece showing Giant's Causeway, a scenic geologic
outcropping of columnar basalt.
Another issue: Another probably later issue exists
where the "Vol. 1, pt. I" has been removed from the title
page. The work is in all other respects identical to the
other issue.

RARE. In the text, Mentzel compares the
luminescence properties of the naturally occurring
Bologna Stone (phosphorescent barite) and a newly
discovered preparation called Baldewinian Phosphor.
He notes that the compound more easily absorbs light
and emits at a stronger intensity than the natural
stone. However, the theoretical reasons behind these
observations are disguised in the language of alchemy
with no rational reason provided.
Gatterer says this work was reprinted in Ephem.

Mercati studied under ANDREAS Cesalpino at the
University of Pisa. Pope Pius V named director of the
Vatican botanical garden, an appointment he continued
to hold under Gregory XIII and Sixtus V. He actively
developed the garden. He was eventually elevated to
the aristocracy by the future Grand Duke Ferdinand I
of Tuscany. He was a pioneer in paleontology, and he

they were generally considered the product of lightning.

and shoulders within an oval frame, with the wording

VERY SCARCE. A landmark treatise in the
history of mineralogy and metallurgy describing what
was among the first organized mineralogical museums
ever established. Noteworthy for excellence of style
and clarity, Aletallotheca is considerably more that a
treatise on minerals and metals. It provided a uniform
generic classification for all the known minerals and
fossils. It also introduced a "remarkable discourse on
the variations of the surface and subsurface of the earth
caused by long epochs of geological evolution."
Although written in the 16th century the work was
only printed for the first time under the editorship of
the great physician Giovanni Maria Lancisi [1654—1720].
The volume is splendidly produced and illustrated,
with many examples of earths, slates, alums, sulphur,
bitumen, coral, etc., and, in the section on marbles
several remarkable plates of famous statues such as
Laocoon and the Apollo Belvedere.
In the service of the Popes, Mercati began to
accumulate in a wing of the Museum Pio-Clernentino,
a collection of rocks, minerals and fossils that he called
the METALLOTHECA (a complement to the Bibliotheca,
or library). It was certainly one of the most important
such collections assembled during the 16th century.
Its contents were systematically arranged in 19 large,

expensive, custom built cabinets. From the beginning,
Mercati worked diligently on describing the specimens,
but at his death only about half of the cabinets were
completed. The task then fell onto his former teacher,
Andreas Cesalpino, who wrote De Metallicis (1st
ed., Rornae, 1596), without any of Mercati's notes. In
fact, for years after Mercati's death, the manuscript
and 127 copper plate engravings remained unknown
and unpublished. Then they were rediscovered by the
Florentine humanist Carlo Roberto Dati [1619—1676].
He attempted to have Mercati's work published, but
failed in the attempt. However, he let some among
his scientist friends examine Mercati's manuscript. In
this way, the Metallotheca became known to NlCOLAUS
Steno and Paolo Boccone. In fact, Steno borrows
the beautiful engraving of a shark's head (Caput lami')
which he published in his own Elementorvm Myologies
Specimen (Florentiae, 1667), quoting the source. After
Dati's death, his heirs gave the Mercati manuscript
material to Pope Clementi XI, who commissioned the
great physician Giovanni Maria Lancisi to bring the
work to publication. In this effort he was assisted by
Petrus Assalti who edited the notes. The work appeared
in 1717, and is almost all that remains of Mercati's
wonderful collection, which was stolen or lost shortly
after Mercati's death.
The copper plate engravings were executed by
the Dutch goldsmith, engraver and painter Anton
Eisenhoit [fl. 1570-1619] between 1572 and 1581. These
remarkable illustrations make this work one of the most
precious publications of the Renaissance in terms of
iconography. For the text, Mercati relied principally
upon the earlier works of Theophrastus, Pliny, Albertus
Magnus, and Agrícola. He also incorporated many
notes from about a hundred of less important writers,
encyclopediaists, geographer's, etc. Interestingly,
Mercati provides direct observations to places he had
visited including Pozzuoli, Tolfa, the Tuscany hills, and
Ischia and Elba islands. But to theoretical ideas, he
confines himself to Aristotelian beliefs that fossils had
been created in rocks by heavenly influences of the stars
in the outer spheres. Reasons as to why mountains,
valleys and volcanoes exist are completely ignored.
The principal material of the text is the detailed
description of specimens contained in ten show cases,
which represent approximately half of the total
collection. These contain respectively, (1) earths,
including shales, terra rosas, kaolin earths, sands, (2)
salts, including sodium &¿ potassium chloride, saltpetre,
(3) acrid juices, including vitriol, borax, malachite,
azurite, realgar, (4) fat juices, including sulphur,
hydrocarbons, coals, amber (5) alums, including
selenite and various alums, (6) marine products,
including sponges, corals, gasteropods, (7) rocks similar
to earths (soft stones), including pyrolusite, volcanic
tuffs, muscovite, gypsum, pumice, (8) stones derived
from animals, including bezoar, deer tear, pearls, (9)
idiomorphic stones, including echinoid spines, entrochi,
staurolite, stalactitie concretions, géodes, dendrites,
belemnites, ammonites, fossil bones and teeth (10)
marbles, giving few examples. In the Appendix issued
in 1719, there are information about Mercati's other
works concerning plague and the obelisks of Rome as
well as text about the lives of Lancisi and Assalti.
If Mercati's Metallotheca Vaticana had been
published at the end of the 16th century, he surely
would be ranked with GEORGIUS AGRÍCOLA and
CONRAD Gesner as a founder of mineralogy and
paleontology. However, when the work was finally
published, its measure had been surpassed by over a
century of progress. Consequently, the contemporary
reviews of the time do not pass kindly on the work.
This first issue is distinguished by having the date
of 1717 on the title page and not 1719. The BMC points
out that a new title page dated 1719 for the whole work
was issued in the Appendix. This title was intended to
replace the orignal title page dated 1717. Such a copy
of the Appendix with the extra title page is held in
the special collections area of the University of Arizona
Library. Based on this evidence, there are no grounds
for supposing that there are two editions of the the main
work, one of 1717, the other of 1719. The Appendix is
described below.

VERY RARE. The sheets of this first edition were
destroyed in the great fire of London in 1666. Only a
few copies survived are now considered very rare. Most
copies are therefore dated 1667. This is the earliest
attempt at a classification of the plants, animals, and
minerals of England. The botanical portion contains
over 1,400 species. This work contains mainly lists of
names and enumeration of species.
An alphabetical list of English plants with
citations to other authorities is given on pages 1-127.
A classification of plants ("De Planatarum Classibus")
is provided on pages 128-138, while the pages to 154 give
a glossary of equivalence between common plant names
and their Latin nomenclature. Listings of animals and
minerals occurs on pages 155-221 in a section titled,
"Synopsis omnium Classisum quibus" .

In 1879, after graduating from the University of
Maine, Merrill became curator of mineralogy at the
US National Museum (Smithsonian). In 1897, he was
appointed head curator of the division of geology, a
post he held until his death. He was remarkable in
gathering together material on a large scale and displaying
it effectively. This was especially true of the economic
minerals collection. Because of his interest in meteorites,
he succeeded in building the collection into one of the
world's greatest repositories.

SCARCE. This is an important and well illustrated
history of early American geology. Merrill's opening
chapters deal with the Maclurean Era, 1785-1819, so
named from William Maclure who, in 1809, issued
his epoch-making Observations on the Geology of the
United States. The Eatonian Era, 1820-1829, followed
with Amos Eaton, author of the geological text-book,
as its chief figure. Then came the era of the State
survey, extending from 1830 to 1880, to be succeeded
in turn by the era of national surveys reaching to
the early 20th century. In the course of the text,
mention is made of several hundred contributors to
the development of geology in the United States, often
with accounts of their opinions, quotations from their
writings and sketches of their lives. Many portraits of
these researchers are included. An extensive index at
the end facilitates the use of the work.

METZGER, Hélène. (BORN: Chatou, near Paris,
France, 1889; DIED: In transit to Auschwitz, Poland,
1944) French science historian.
Metzger [maiden name Brühl] showed outstanding
early promise and studied mineralogy at the Sorbonne,
receiving her Diploma d'études supérieures in physics for her
Etude cristallographique du chlorate de lithium.
In 1913 she married Paul Metzger, a professor of
history and geography, but in September 1914 he was
reported missing in one of the first battles of World War
I; from then on she devoted herself to research. Her
doctoral thesis showed the evolution of crystallography (La
genese de la science des cristaux) and she then applied
her historical methods to the whole of chemistry. In 1925
she won the Prix Bordin in philosophy for Les concepts
scientifiques and she continued to seek out the philosophical
bases of science in later work. This was interrupted by
the German occupation of Paris and she moved to Lyons
and worked at the Bureau d'Etudes Israelites on a study
of Jewish monotheism. She was arrested in February 1944,
deported to Drancy, then sent to Auschwitz.

and poor quality of paper it was printed on, the original
edition may soon become extinct. This was a pioneer
effort both in its subject and its approach. Essentially,
it is a history of 18th century ideas, primarily French, on
the nature, development and structure of crystals. The
book is structured around the theme of the emergence of
crystallography as a discrete and independent science in
the work of Rome de l'Isle and, more particularly, Haiiy.
Metzger sees a fundamental development in the works
of these researchers from an emphasis on explaining
crystal formation in terms of grand speculative systems,
to a concern with the precise description of crystal
structure. Metzger's approach is novel as well and
demonstrates the historical sensitivity which marked
her later studies in the history of chemistry.

Meunier
MEUNIER, Etienne Stanislaus. (Born: Paris,
France, 18 July 1843; DlED: Paris, France, 23
April 1925) French mineralogist, palaeontologist,
stratigrapher & chemist.
After acting as 'préparateur' in chemistry at the
Polytechnic School, Meunier in 1867 entered employment
at the Natural History Museum in Paris as assistant in
geology. He also acted for a time from 1880 as professor
of natural history at the Ecole Normale. In 1892, he
became head of the department in the Museum with the
title of professor of geology, retiring in 1920 with the title
of honorary professor. He was a prolific writer and editor
of several popular magazines. His chemical research was
based on the artificial production of minerals, which he
extended to meteoric minerals and meteorites.

VERY SCARCE. This is a comprehensive
textbook describing all aspects of synthesizing mineral
compounds in the laboratory. Meunier describes
the accidental creation of minerals as well as giving
the scientific rational behind mineral creation. He
then provides detailed instructions for creating a large
number of mineral species in the laboratory including
recipes, apparatus, coloring agents, etc. The entire
text is fully referenced to original citations and includes
at the conclusion indexes to the names of the various
authors and a comprehensive subject listing.

Rare. During his lifetime, Meuschen compiled
and wrote several important catalogs of shell collections,
which sometimes contained a significant mineralogical
component. Besides their individual publication, each
catalog was also issued with a half title indictating
they were a separate volume in Meuschen 's series,
Miscellanea Conchyliologica. The eight volumes of
the series comprise: (1) Catalogus Musei Chaisiani,
1766, 116 p., (2) Catalogus V.D.M. (Van der Mieden),
1766, 53 p., (3) Catalogus V.D.M. Oudaniani, 1766,

R\RE. Catalog of Aarnout Leers' [see note below]
natural history collection. Although shells were his main
focus with specimens purchased at the sale of Seba's
cabinet in 1752, there were also some other natural
history objects including minerals. Leers' cabinet was
sold in Amsterdam on May 20th, 1767 with thousands of
specimens in 2,150 lots. This catalog, edited by Meuschen,
was republished in his Miscellanea.
A separate index in Dutch and French was prepared
after the sale by Herman de Wit listing prices realized for
the individual lots. It has two title pages, one in Dutch
with the French version printed on the verso. They read:

VERY RARE. Only edition. Among the books on
mining published in the sixteenth century, the one by
Georg Meyer is one of the rarest. In contrast to the
works by Agrícola, Entzelt. Matthesius, and Ercker,
it hardly ever appears on the market. The book is
dedicated to the Emperor Rudolph II, the patron of
Tycho Brahe and Kepler who was a strong supporter
of alchemy. At the beginning is a 4 1/2 page poem in
praise of miners. The text is then divided into thirteen
chapters dealing with ores, metals, minerals, antimony,
mercury, bismuth, sulphur, salt, and saltpeter, with a
short section on glassmaking in the last chapter.

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.

Miller
England, 10 December 1942) English mineralogist &
crystallographer.
Born the son of a civil engineer, Miers won
scholarships at Eton and Oxford, where he studied the
classics and science. He graduated in 1881 with second-
class honors in mathematics. Although he had no formal
training in crystallography, within a year Miers had
through short stays with N. Story-Maskelyne, W.J. Lewis
and P. VON G ROTH enough expertise in the science to
apply and be accepted in a position as an assistant at
the British Museum. There working under L. FLETCHER
he was primarily concerned with the descriptions of crystal
forms. For these studies, Miers constructed an ingenious
inverted goniometer for measuring crystal faces while they
were growing in solution. In 1895, Miers accepted a
professorship in mineralogy at Oxford. There, he continued
to refine the apparatus until he and his students were able
to determine the concentration of solution at the growing
crystal face through the index of refraction calculated from
total reflection. In 1908, Miers accepted the first of many
administrative appointments that eventually pulled him
away from scientific work. An adventuresome streak led
him to travel extensively including visits to the Klondide,
South Africa and Russia. Miers was elected F.R.S. in
1896 and knighted in 1912. Among many honors, he also
awarded the Wollaston Medal by the Geological Society of
London.

SCARCE. Drawing heavily upon Edward S. Dana's
System of Mineralogy (6th ed., New York, 1896), this is
an introductory textbook on mineralogy. For its time it
contains excellent discussions of crystal optics as treated
by Lazarus Fletcher in The Optical Indicatrix (London,
1892). An appendix discusses the theoretical internal
structure of crystals, which was a special interest of
Miers.

a few years he acted as a college tutor, and on the resig-
nation of W. Whewell he succeeded in 1832 to the chair
of mineralogy at Cambridge, a post which he occupied un-
til 1870. Miller was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society
in 1838. In 1843, he assisted the committee appointed to
superintend new standards in weights and measures.

VERY SCARCE. This work is the basis on which all
modern crystallographic notation rests. Extending the
previous work of WILLIAM Whewell, Miller asserted
that crystallographic reference axes must parallel
crystal edges. His method of indexing crystal faces is
based on a plane (111) intercepting the crystallographic
axes at a, b, с such that the ratio along the reference
axes is a/h: b/k: c/1, where h, k, 1, are integers. This
was an improved interpretation over the previous work
of Christian Sammuel Weiss and C.F. Naumann, and
the advantages of "Miller Indices," as they became
known, was almost immediately apparent. None of the
previous notational schemes were as easy to apply or as
widely accepted as this method, which is still accepted
today.

of Engineering in Tokyo. He became expert in the
new science of seismology, invented the seismograph,
and wrote two important books on seismology, one a
textbook(Earthquakes and other Earth Movements, 1891)
and a famous illustrated report on The Great Earthquake
in Japan, 1891, 1891.
After twenty years in Japan, he returned to England,
settling upon the Isle of Wight where he established a
seismological station, and where he died in 1913. It was
here that he first attempted to measure the velocity of
earthquake waves passing through the deeper layers of the
crust, but in this attempt he was only partially successful.

RARE. This Catalogue is a decription of specimens
held in the collections of the Imperial College in
Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunately the text was printed
on an extremely perishable paper and few copies have
survived to the present day. The classification of these
minerals is similar to that given in Dana's Manual of
Mineralogy. The short descriptions which are appended
to many of these specimens must not be considered as
having reference to anything farther than the particular
specimen to which the are attached, and this more
especially true in the case of specimens like coals, where
to judge of the coals of a district from the description
of one small specimen might lead to serious mistakes.
In many cases there are a large number of specimens
of the same species but which have been obtained from
different localities, these are classed together according
to the provinces, the a provinces being classed together
according to Gobi Shichido. With each group of
minerals a number of localities are mentioned from
which specimens have not yet been obtained. These
localities are without numbers.

The Mineral Collector., 1894
VERY RARE as issues and extremely rare in com-
plete sets. Edited by ARTHUR CHAMBERLAIN and later
with Albert Chapín Bates this magazine succeeded
Aimerais. A Monthly Magazine. Chamberlain was
a collector of minerals from his boyhood days and a
printer and publisher by profession. Together with sev-
eral brothers he was partner in a printing establishment
in New Jersey. These facts combined with his interest
in sharing knowledge of minerals led Chamberlain in
1883 to become involved in his first magazine to fur-
ther the hobby. The publications he fathered changed
names several times and grew in size and character with
each change until the Minerai Collector was founded. It
lasted from March 1894 until February 1909 at which
time Chamberlain wrote:
"This will be the last number of the magazine.
As most of my readers know, it has not been a paying
proposition, but still on account of pleasant acquain-
tances secured, and in some instances staunch friends
made through its publication, I have been loath to dis-
continue it. However, years grow apace and I feel that I
owe it to my health to ease up a little on my strenuous-
ness. Almost a quarter of a century ago I started my
first monthly, and I have been in harness ever since. As
all the work has been done on evenings and holidays, so
as not to interfere with my other work, and as I always
set all the type myself, I have hardly known a leisure
hour in all these years."
The Mineral Collector was faithfully published
once a month for 15 years and its over 6,000 pages con-
tain much valuable and anecdotal information that can
be found no where else. It may safely be said that
its publication parallels the first golden age of mineral
collecting, and that its pages helped to further that re-
markable period. At this time there were a large num-
ber of active collectors and the supplies of good quality
specimens from all parts of the world but especially the
western United States was large. These were offered
for sale by several now legendary east coast dealers at
modest prices to keep the enthusiasm of collectors at
high intensity and there advertisements abound in the
pages of this magazine. There are also reports of new
finds and notes on scientific discoveries. Much is owed
to Arthur Chamberlain for his remarkable magazines.
Facsimile reprint, 1980s: Lawrance H. Conklin produced
a fine reprint of the complete 15 year run of The Mineral
Collector in the 1980s and early '90s.
Albert Chapin Bates. (BORN: Providence, Rhode
Island, U.S.A., 1857; DIED: Newark, New Jersey, U.S.A.,
5 May 1931) American merchant & mineralogist. Bates
was a businessman who worked in the hardware business
in New York City for over 50 years, but one of his
interests in life was the collection of minerals, in which
he made a specialization of collecting and studying quartz.
His mineral collecting reminciences published in the early
numbers of Rocks and Minerals are a treasure, preserving
first hand accounts of the mineral collecting scene of late
19th century America. He was elected to membership in
the Newark Mineralogical Society in February 6, 1916 at
the fifth meeting of the society.
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 lu il <1 :■>'.

Rare. Edited by Johann Christoph Adelung
[see note below], this "Mineralogical Amusements" is
an early periodical devoted to mineralogical subjects.
It was intended as a forum for the knowledgeable
mineralogist and those that were interested in the
subject. As such, the six volumes cover all aspects of
mineralogical studies and include articles of amateur
and scientific character, with papers authored by the
great mineralogists of the day including Pott and
Lehmann.
Johann Christoph Adelung. (BORN: Spantekow,
Pommern, Germany, 30 August 1734; DIED: Dresden,
Germany, 10 September 1806) German lexicographer &
philologist. Adelung studied originally for theology, but
found he was more attracted to literature and philology.
He became professor at the Erfurt Gymnasium and
later head of the library at Dresden; wrote, Versuch
eines vollständigen Grammatisch-Kritischen Wörterbuches der
Hochdeutschen Mundart (Berlin, 1774), a dictionary of
German that was compared favorably to the dicitonary of
Dr. Johnson. However, "Adelung's is superior ... in its
definitions, and in all that relates to etymology" (Thomas).

periodicals for American mineral collectors. Published
for a number of years with one of Chamberlain's other
collector serials, the Exchanger's Monthly which was
folded into the Mineralogist's Monthly in November,
1890. In 1893 Chamberlain concluded an agreement
with W.M. Goldwaite to merge with another collector's
periodical Minerais: A Monthly Magazine, where
Goldwaite would be the publisher and Chamberlain
the editor [which see next entry]. However, Goldwaite
pulled out of the venture in March 1893. This led
Chamberlain to found the Minerai Collector [which see] .

Vols. 1-3, no. 12. Published, vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan.
1892)-vol. 3, no. 12 (Nov./Dec. 1893).
VERY SCARCE. The first number of Minerais was
published in January, 1892. It was not a profitable
enterprise for the publisher W.M. Goldwaite because
the Mineralogist's Monthly was also being published
at the time. Therefore, Arthur Chamberlain came
to agreement with Mr. Goldwaite to merge in 1893;
however, the publication was not profitable, and
Minerais ceased publication in December, 1893. This
lead Arthur Chamberlain to began publication in 1894
of the more famous periodical, The Mineral Collector.

MITSCHERLICH
MITSCHERLICH, Eilhardt. (Born: Neuende,
Oldenburg, Germany, 7 January 1794; DIED: Berlin,
Germany, 28 August 1863) German chemist.
Mitscherlich was one of the most important scientists
of his generation. He came from a pastor's family and
studied medicine and Oriental languages receiving from the
University of Giessen a Ph.D. in 1814. He studied and
taught chemistry at the University of Göttingen. In 1822,
at the age of 28, he became a member of the Royal Prussian
Academy of Sciences and a professor at the Friedrich-
Wilhelm University in Berlin. He devoted the rest of his
life to research in chemistry and mineralogy, and was very
much part of the Prussian Establishment. He also became
a protege of JÖNS JAKOB Berzelius and developed a deep
friendship with him.

VERY SCARCE. Compiled and edited by
Alexander Mitscherlich [1836-1918], the author's son.
Eilhard Mitscherlich is best known for his work in
crystallography and chemistry. He discovered that
substances with similar chemical compositions may
have the same shape of crystal, showing that one
element can sometimes substitute for another in the
crystal lattice. This phenomenon, which was named
isomorphism, was demonstrated by Mitscherlich with
crystals of potassium arsenate and potassium phosphate
and with some of the sulphates. He further noticed
that sulphur forms either rhombic or monoclinic crystals
and this led him to the discovery of dimorphism, the
capacity of some elements to occur in two distinct forms.
While visiting Paris in 1823/4 he and Fresnel discovered
that the optical axes of a biaxial crystal change with
a change in temperature. All these discoveries were
announced to the scientific world through Mitsherlich's
many articles in scientific journals. In the Gesammelte
Schriftenthey have all been collected together, and with
fine portrait of the author and Berzelius, they form an
important monument to this remarkable scientist.

Mohs was educated at the University of Halle,
graduating in 1797. Afterwards, he attended the
Bergakademie in Freiberg and studied under Werner. On
the invitation of his fellow students, George Mitchell and R.
JAMESON, Mohs traveled to Great Britain in 1802. In 1811,
he was appointed curator of the mineral collection at the
Johanneum in Graz, Austria. Upon the death of Werner
in 1817, Mohs succeeded his former teacher as professor
of mineralogy at the Freiberg Bergakademie. Then in
1826, he accepted a position as professor of mineralogy and
superintendent of the Royal Imperial mineral collections in
Vienna.

RARE. On the advice of the Irish geologist George
Mitchell [ca. 1775-1803], Mohs was commissioned to
prepare a systematic catalog of the important mineral
collection formed by the wealthy Vienna amateur Jakob
Friedrich van der Null [see note below]. It is likely
that during the examination of the collection and the
preparation of this work that Mohs first began to doubt
Werner's mineralogical ideas. A chance meeting in
1810 gave Mohs an opportunity to convince Werner of
deficiencies in his concepts. Werner remained steadfast,
however, causing Mohs to pursue a course of study that
would eventually set systematic mineralogy on a new
foundation. Van der Null's collection was incorporated
into the Imperial collections at Vienna in the 1820's.
Second issue: Another, apparently rarer second
issue exists which is indentical to the first issue except
that the year on the title page reads "1805."
Jakob Friedrich van der Null. (BORN: ;
DIED: 1826?) Austrian mineral collector. Austrian mineral
collector. Van der Null was a banker and businessman in
Vienna. Through his resources, he built an exceptionally
fine mineral collection. For a curator, he hired Mohs,
who arranged the contents according to first Werner's
then his own classification scheme. The collection begun
in 1797 concentrated on hand-size specimens (2 to 4-
inchs), and was considered within a few years to be not
only the finest mineral collection in Vienna but all of
Germany. This remarkable acheivernent was accomplished
through the purchasing of no less than eleven important
mineral collections before 1807. In 1827, the collection was
purchased by the Royal Imperial mineral cabinet in Vienna.

VERY SCARCE. Describes Mohs new approach
to a classificatory system in mineralogy. Using the
most elementary physical characteristics of a mineral,
he developes a natural history method for arranging
species. As part of the methodology, Mohs develops
for the first time his famous scale of mineral hardness.
Miners and mineralogists had long been accustomed to
scratch a mineral in determining its species. In an effort
to make the procedure more ridgid, Mohs proposed a
non-proportional scale of increasing hardness from one
to ten as follows: (1) talc, (2) gypsum, (3) calcite, (4)
fluorite, (5) apatite, (6) feldspar, (7) quartz, (8) topaz,
(9) corundum, and (10) diamond. In later writings,
he would add other minerals to obtain intermediate
degrees of hardness, but it is his first scale that every
geology student still learns today.

RARE. First separate English edition, translated
by Thomas Carlyle from Die Charaktere der Klassen,
Ordnungen, Geschlechter und Arten (1820). This work
is of importance for bringing Mohs scale of hardness
to the English speaking world. Upon its publication,
Mohs Die Charaktere der Klassen, Ordnungen Geschlechter
und Arten, enjoyed wide popularity among mineralogists
of the continent. On this basis, David Brewster editor
of The Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, commisioned an
impoverished school master to bring out ни English
translation for his Journal (see: 3, no. 5, pp. 154—76 &c no.
6, pp. 317—42 and 4, no. 7, pp. 56—57). These parts were
subsequently collected together and republished as a single
volume. As it happens, Carlyle, the translator, never again
wrote on mineralogy, although he went on become one of
the great figures in nineteenth century English literature.
Thomas Carlyle. (BORN: 1795; DIED: 1881) Scottish
essayist, historian & philosopher. Carlyle is best remembered
works are: French Revolution, Frederick the Great and Sartor
Resartus.

VERY SCARCE. The first volume of this work,
centering on crystallography reached essentially the
same conclusions as did Christian Samuel Weiss
(although Mohs does not credit Weiss with the
discovery, thus spawning a mutual dislike). Mohs
extends, however, the four crystal systems proposed
by Weiss, namely: rombohedral (hexagonal), pyramidal
(tetragonal), prismatic (orthorhombic), and tessular
(cubic), with the addition of two new systems whose
crystallographic axes were not mutually perpendicular.
These new crystal systems were later named the
rnonoclinic and triclinic, and fully described by Karl
Friedrich Naumann in 1824. The second volume of the
Grundriss contains a systematic description of minerals,
founded on a natural history method with classes,
orders, genras, and species. The principal addition to
the mineral descriptions not seen in previous authors is
the explicit mention of the crystal system to which a
given mineral belongs.

VERY SCARCE. Translation by WILLIAM HAIDINGER
from Grundriß der Mineralogie (Dresden, 1822-24). Mohs
reached essentially the same conclusions as CHRISTIAN
SAMUEL WEISS did concerning crystallography. In 1819,
Weiss had suggested that four crystal systems existed,
namely: rombohedral (hexagonal), pyramidal (tetragonal),
prismatic (orthorhombic), and tessular (cubic). In the 1822
volume of his Grundriß, Mohs suggested (ommitting any
mention of Weiss' previous work) that six crystal systems
existed. The four mentioned already, plus two whose
crystal axes were not mutually perpendicular. These were
described in full by KARL FRIEDRICH NAUMANN in 1824, and
given the names rnonoclinic and triclinic.
Until this very fine translation of the Grundriß
appeared, Mohs mineralogical ideas were largely confined
to Germany. However, the translator, Haidinger, was also
a very competent mineralogist in his own right, and the
augmentation he brought to his translation transformed
the work into the standard mineralogical reference of the
natural history method for the period 1825 to 1850. So
successful was this work that JAMES DwiGHT Dana used it as
a model for the first edition of his own System of Mineralog}'
(1st ed., New Haven, 1837).
Volume one consists of a general description
of mineralogy, terminology, crystallography, properties,
theory of the system, and nomenclature. Volume two
contains general descriptions of the species. Volume three
finishes of the species and gives an explanation to the
plates, which mostly show crystals.

VERY SCARCE. Translation by J.H. COLLINS of
Etudes sur les nions du Cornwall, parties riches des
nions structure de ces parties et leur relation avec les
directions des systèmes stratigraphiques (Paris, 1874).
This translation, limited to 400 copies, is a valuable
and comprehensive work on Lode-Mining in the mines
of Cornwall. The preparation of this English edition was
commissioned by the Council of the Miners' Association
of Cornwall and Devon for use by the engineer's in the
area. It is probably the best record of the geology and
techniques used in the mines, that produced so many
unique mineral species.
The text is divided into two long chapters. The
first describes the variations in the grade of mineralized
veins, and gives advice on locating the richer portions.
Moissenet notes that in Cornwall the rich parts are
generally enclosed in rocks of moderate hardness and
that the veins often dip in the same direction as the
enclosing rocks. Chapter two provides general ideas
on the mechanisms for the depositing of metalliferous
substances in the region and descriptions of the general
character of rocks and lodes in Cornwall. An appendix
at the end, provides the first appearance in English of
Elie de Beaumont's terms used in describing the relative
ages of mountains.

VERY RARE. In this book, Moldenhauer presents
his own mineralogical classifcation. For crystallography,
he relies uponthe principals developed in GUSTAV
Rose's Elemente der Krystallographie (Berlin, 1833).
For other chemical and physical properties the author
has used a composite of several authors including Blum,
Beudant, Breithaupt, Hartmann, Mohs, Naumann and
Walchner.
The text begins with a very short introduction
which is followed by the first large section of
the work that focuses on terminology (pp. 4—133).

physical and chemical properties, as well as standard
procedures. The short second section explains how
to use the previously described terminology in mineral
descriptions (pp. 134—136). While the third (pp.
137—141) and fourth (pp. 142—43) discuss systematics
and nomenclature, respectively. The fifth seciton
consists of the descriptive mineralogy (pp. 146—253).
The classification utilized appears to be wholely the
invention of Moldenhauer. The system is divided into
two large groups of stones and metals. Under stones the
four classes of salts, spars, precious stones and earths
are considered. The spars are classified according to
their hardness (based upon Mohs scale) and the earths
are distinguished by their specific gravity. Metals are
broken into "Glanz", pyritic metals and semimetals.
An appendix (pp. 254—262) covers mineral gases, coal
and petroleum products, and minerals that are not
completely defined.
MOLINA, Juan Ignazio. (BORN: Talca, Chili, 24 June
1740; DIED: Bologna, Italy, 12 September 1829) Chilian

VERY SCARCE. This is a classic history of this South
American country written by the Chilean-born Jesuit
scholar and first published in Bologna in 1782-87. There
are sections on the climate and natural history of Chili;
its early Spanish history and noted explorers; division of
the Araucanian state; the Araucanians and their customs;
military incidents throughout the years; an essay on the
language of the country with various grammars and much
more. Volume two is devoted almost entirely to the
Araucanian Indians. Bound at the end of the second
volume is another work entitled "An Appendix to the Civil
and Political History of Chili," which bears the imprint of
Alsop, Brannan and Alsop and is published in New York
in 1808.
This book was translated by an American millionaire,
Richard Alsop, considered the most intellectually gifted of
the "Hartford Wits" . This English translation incorporates
the originally two separate works: Saggio sulla storia naturale
del Chili. Bolgna (1782) and Saggio sulla storia civile del Chili
(1787). It precedes the London edition by a year. A large
folding map of Chili is bound in the first volume.

German aristrocat & naturalist.
From 1790 until 1804 Von Moll was chancellor of the
Exchequer for Salzburg. He then retired to private life in
Munich and Augsburg where he devoted himself to natural
history. In 1807 he was elected a member of the Académie
der Wissenschaften (Academy of Science) in Munich, where
he was secretary in the class of mathematics and physics
until 1827. In 1815 his personal library and a portion
of his extensive mineral collection was purchased by the
British Museum. It was particularly rich in minerals from
Salzburg and Tyrol. Another portion was later acquired by
the Bavarian Academy of Science.

MONARDES
MONARDES, Nicholas Baptist. (Born: Sevilla,
Spain, cl493; DIED: Sevilla, Spain, 1588) Spanish-
physician, naturalist & metallurgist.
Monardes studied at the University of Alcalá, where
he received the rank of bachelor in arts and philosophy
(1530) and a bachelor of medicine (1533). He was
influenced in his studies by Elio Antonio de Nebrija, a great
humanist. In 1547, he became an instructor in medicine
at the University of Seville, where he remained until his
death at a very old age. Besides his expertise in medicine,
he participated in mercantile companies, among which was
the commerce of medices and the traffic of slaves.

The De simplicibus Medicamentis ex Occidentali
India delatis, quorum in Medicina usus est, by Nicolò
Monardo (Monardes), a Spanish physician, translated into
Latin by Charles de lEcluse, is a small book of 88 pages
with descriptions of plants and illustrations. Different
species from the New World are presented in a highly
descriptive manner, including American copal, cinchona,
sarsaparilla, dragons blood, balsam, Brazilian bean and
hot pepper. Also included are descriptions of some animals
such as the armadillo and some mineral remedies such as
the lapis sanguinalis and the lapis Caymanus.
The first Italian edition of this classic work, preceded
by Spanish editions printed in Seville in 1565, 1569,
and 1574, and by several adaptations and condensations.
According to Sabin and LeClerc, this first Italian edition,
translated by Annibale Briganti, is very rare. Monardes'
work, describing medicinal plants found in the New World,
was among the first to describe tobacco, as well as more
healthful plants found in the Americas. Its appeal was
widespread. It may be better known to English readers
by the title of its 1580 translation, JOYFULL NEWES
OUT OF THE NEW FOUNDE WORLDE. Illustrated with
handsome woodcuts of the plants. SABIN 49939.

Rare. Monnet, as inspector of mines, developed
an enthusastic interest in mineralogy. In this work, a
"New System of Mineralogy" he attempts to create a
classification based primarily on chemistry. He includes
references to many contemporary German and Swedish
scientists. In a supplement he describes methods for
dissolving metals in acid that defends his positions
against allegations made by Macquer in his Dictionnaire
de Chymie.

Together Monticelli and Covelli frequently traversed the
slopes of Vesuvius, examining the volcanic ejecta and
formations. This work is the first portion of a work
to describe the whole of their discoveries. Although
this is the only portion to appear, it is a remarkably
comprehensive and detailed examination of the minerals
found in and around Vesuvius.

RARE. First edition, first issue, with the title page
dated 1782. Describes Montribloud's large collection of
natural history specimens, ethnographical artifacts and
scientific insturments. The "Avertissement" describes
the collection's formation over 25 years, and that the
chief sources were the famous cabinets of Dezallier
d'Argenville, Madame de Boisjourdain and D AVILA.
The collection was rich in shells, plants and minerals
and consisted of 2,795 lots in all (with many items
in a large number of lots). Included are 152 lots of
scientific insturments including the electrical machines
of Franklin and Nollet. Many American examples are
represented.
The sale was supposed to have occurred in 1783,
but was posponed until 1784, when this catalog was
reissued with a new title page and an additional text.

Л I oon к
1872) American scholar, librarian, educator & mineral
collector.
Moore graduated from Columbia College in 1802.
He was admitted to the legal profession in 1805, but he
preferred classical studies. In 1817, he was appointed
adjunct professor and in 1820 professor of Latin and Greek
at Columbia College. He resigned the position in 1835, and
in 1838, after two years of travel in Europe and the Holy
Land, he returned to become librarian of the college, to
which he sold his own great library of classics. In 1842, he
became president of the college, but resigned in 1849. In
1851, he made a tour of Europe, during which he visited
the World's Fair in London, and became highly interested
in the new art of photography, to which he subsequently
devoted much study.

NEW YORK:

Ancient Mineralogy, 1834
In addition, Biblical references to minerals are discussed
at length, including the foreign and domestic sources
of minerals known to the Israelites and the foreign
trade and travel indicated by their mention. A section
on "Metallic Substances, Earths, &c, Employed as
Pigments by the Ancients" is a valuable source of
reference to terms of colors and pigments in classical
literature, for localities from which the materials were
derived, and the methods of preparation. Another
feature useful in the present day are the lists of
Latin names with their modern interpretation and lists
of books in several languages that include material
on ancient mineral terms and references to sources.
This history of ancient mineralogy, is notable for the
citations of almost all the ancient writers from Homer
to Vitruvius and for the exact references in the text
and in footnotes to the literature. An index at the end
lists the 200 minerals discussed in the text or in the
footnotes.

VERY RARE. This is the first published work
of Moresini of Aberdeen (Scotland). It is dedicated
to James VI and is directed as an attack against
alchemists and astrologers. Moresini did not believe in
the transrnution of one metal to another or the influence
of the Sun or planets on metals here on earth. The
author's principal patron was the Earl Anthony Bacon,
the brother of Francis Bacon, who also maintained a
correspondence with him. This work mentiones the
minerals and their preparations used by the alchemists.

RARE. One of the most important books in the
early history of geology. This is the author's best known
and most controversial work. Moro was interested in
the fossils he found in the mountains and how they
came to be there. In the De' Crostacei e degli altri
Marini Corpi Moro speculates on the organic nature
of fossils. He affirmed the theory that mountains and
most islands were formed by volcanoes and thought that
stratified rock was igneous in origin. His most original
thoughts in this area consisted of the idea that two kinds

on by others, later became the foundation for studies in
historical geology.

county and for its fossils. Therefore, the text deals
largely with figured fossils, of which it contains several
plates.

ment of gentlemen and noblemen of Northamptonshire,
which enables him to pursue his natural history of the
county. The work was published by subscription, the

VERY SCARCE. A richly illustrated description of a
typical seventeenth century Italian museum which was
the hobby of a wealthy collector. Assembled by the
Veronese antiquary Moscardo over some 30 years in the

tradition of the humanist's "studiolo," it contained a
wide variety of objects described in an introductory
verse by a visitor to the house as forming "a world in
themselves." The Moscardo collection incorporated the
collection of Francesco Calzolari of Verona, which
was one of the earliest private museums in Italy.
The first section describes and illustrates his
antiquities: Roman statues, portrait busts, coins, urns,
stelle, perfume bottles, votive objects, seals, oil lamps,
lapidary inscriptions and jewelry. The section also
includes Egyptian scarcophagi, fragments of a giant's
bones, and some Rennaissance medals.
The second section lists over 100 minerals as
well as petrified objects and fossils. The final section
comprises corals, shells and preserved aquatic creatures
(such as crocodiles, a sting ray, a swordfish, a seahorse,
a shark, and even the mythical basilisk), fruits, seds,
pods, beans, gums and ointments, a harpy, the bones
of giants of whom the poets tell us, a small collection
of phallic amulets, musical instruments, paintings and
drawings, American Indian shoes, and at the end a
large assault catapult. There are many interesting
discussions as well, such as a section on magnets and
others on the properties of various metals and minerals.
Among the items illustrated and discused are a Greek
"fibula gimnástica," which is a chastity ring for men
that will "conserve the voice and the health." This is
the first illustrated sexual device. The collection was
seen by Ray in 1663 and by Gilbert Burnet in 1685 but
disappears from history thereafter. The many striking
engravings are all by the Veronese artist Alberto Pasi
and have a naieve kind of charm in the expressions of
faces and animals and are attractively shaded.

Very SCARCE. First in a series of popular books
designed to present the facts that the student and
professional might require to recognize and determine
all the important minerals. As stated on the title
page this fine reference is written from a practical
standpoint and includes descriptions of all the common
and useful minerals, together with tests necessary to
their identification, recognition and measurement of
their crystals and a short statement on their uses in the
arts and industry. Like many important textbooks the
contents were periodically put through major revisions.
The Elements of Mineralogy had major revisions of the
text in 1900, 1904 and 1909.
Although the preface to the 1909 edition indicates
that the first edition of this book appeared in 1865
(when Moses was 6 years old), this is a mistake. The
1895 appearance is the first edition.
Reissued: New York, 1897.

SCARCE. In this work on physical crystallography,
Moses writes: "I have attempted, in this book,
to describe, simply and concisely, the methods and
apparatus used in studying the physical characters
of crystals, and to record and explain the observed
phenomena without complex mathematical discussions.
In the last chapter the graduate course in Physical
Cyrstallography given in Columbia University has been
outlined." — Preface.
Under geometrical characters the volume covers
geometric properties of crystals, spherical projection,
the thirty-two classes of crystals, measurement of
crystal angles, and crystal projection or drawing. In
part II. optically isotropic, uniaxial, and biaxial crystals
are discussed, as well as the determination of the optical
characters of biaxial crystals. The final part describes
the thermal, magnetic and electrical properties of
crystals and concludes with a section on elastic and
permanent deformation of crystals which includes the
hardness of minerals.

MURDOCH, Joseph. (BORN: Washington, D.C.,
U.S.A., 19 February 1890; DIED: Los Angeles,
California, U.S.A., 31 December 1973) American
mineralogist.
Murdoch was exposed to natural history at an
early age because his father worked for the Smithsonian
Institute. In 1907 he entered Harvard University, from
which he received geological science degrees in 1911, 1912
and finally 1915 (Ph.D.). He entered into a successful,
non-geological, business career, but returned to the science
when he joined the faculty of the emerging department
of geology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
He retired in 1959, but continued to visit the mineral
laboratory until the day of his death. He was president
of the American Mineralogical Society in 1960.

observations of odd and unusual geological phenomena.
It creates this notable, illustrated work about the
natural subterranean wonders of Saxony. The author
sought to include descriptions of all the miraculous
creations dug from the earth; therefore, the plates show
not only minerals and fossils, including shells, snails and
"steinkohlenpflanzen" (fossilized impressions of plants
in coal), but also dendrites and iron-stained slates,
including several idealized patterns of men and animals.

NAPIONE, Carlo Antonio Galeani. (Born: Turin,
Italy, 1757; DlED: Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 1814) Italian
mineralogist and military & mining expert.
Napione as a military cadet studied mineralogy in
Turin and thus began his lifelong interest in the subject.
About 1780, he was sent to the Freiberg Bergakademie to
study under WERNER. Upon his return to Italy he entered
the military service of his country and was stationed in
Sardinia, where he became major inspector of the mines in
the Sardinia states before becoming around 1795 director
of the metallurgy laboratory at the School of Mineralogy
in Turin. When Sardinia was annexed by Napoleon,
Napione, who had reached the rank of colonel, emigrated
and accepted a place on the military staff in Lisbon.
Later, he became a Lieutenant General in the Portuguese
colonial army. In 1807 he accompanied the prince regent
to Brazil, and was appointed inspector-general of artillery
and director of the arsenal, where he established a powder-
factory and a cannon-foundry. Napione was elected a
member of the Academy of Science at Turin.

Elementi di Mineralogia, 1797
Italy through his Elements of Mineralogy, which was
one of the first textbooks on the subject written in the
Italian language. Napione in his introduction explains
that his aim in his book is to fill a gap caused by the
lack of interest recently shown by Italian scholars for
the study of mineralogy. He was referring to the great
16th century Italian works, but it is clear the author was
attempting to reinvigorate the science of mineralogy in
Italy. The text is written as an elementary treatise
for the students of the School of Mineralogy in Turin,
and it is based substantially on the theories of Werner.
The work had been planned by Napione to be complete
in three volumes, but the Napoleanic war caused the
Elementi to remain the only volume printed in spite of
the inclusion of "First Volume" on the title page.

of Brazil and the neighboring provinces prospecting
for metal, and left interesting notes on the mineralogy
and metallurgy he encountered. After his death, they
were edited by order of the Brazilian government by
Colonel Pinto, and published under the title Tratado

considerations for each drug are given: usage, effect,
regional names, form, similarity, effect, and place of
occurrence. Originally written in Sanskrit, which is
also included, here the noted Sanskrit scholar Garbe
has translated the mineralogical portion into a good
German rendition. Narahari's work is a significant
monograph is divided into metals, non-metals, and
precious stones. It contains notes on nomenclature,
synonyms, occurrences, uses, magical properties, etc.
and is a valuable addition to the knowledge of minerals
in the India subcontinent in ancient times. This 1882
edition is apparently a very rare book.

RARE. When Foote began selling minerals and
other natural history items, he decided that a monthly
advertisement bulletin would be appropiate. This he
started in January 1877 as The Naturalists' Agency
Monthly Bulletin, which continued under that title until
January 1878. It was then continued under the title,
Naturalists' Leisure Hour and Monthly Bulletin, which
ceased in 1895 after 161 numbers. Each issue contained
between 20-30 pages and was unpaginated. Books
for sale are categorized in their specific scientific field:
Medicine, Entomology, Scientific History, Archaelogy,
etc. The first pages of each issue include articles of
interest before the listings of sale catalog.

Rare. In America from the earliest times
naturalists were scattered over an extensive area that
was sparsely settled. To facilitate communication
among these naturalists, Frederic W. Putman [1839-
1915] initiated a compilation that was first published
in two parts as The Naturalists' Directory in
1865 and 1866. The role of this directory was
to provide the names, addresses and collecting
interests of American and international amateurs and
professionals. Advertisements listed dealers selling
specimens, equipment, microscopes, taxidermists
services, labels, etc. It was used as a convent source
to look up shipping addresses, or to locate other
collectors that might have material to trade. Collecting
of information was difficult task making it hard for
Putman to continue a well received but profitless
venture. Around 1874 Putman passed on the directories
preparation to a youthful publisher, Samuel E. Cassino
[1856-1937].
Cassino saw an opportunity to add to his young
firms growing business and took up the challenge
to continue The Naturalists' Directory. Although
somewhat irregular in its issuing and with some
alterations of the title, especially in its early years,
it would become an essential publication to American
naturalists and scientists as a source for addresses and
other esoteric information. Its success is shown by the
fact that it is still being published in the year 2000.
From an historical perspective, the early directories are
in many instances the only record that an individual
collected natural history objects, including minerals.
After Cassino's death in 1937 other members of
his family took over publication. Then a series of other
publishers purchased rights to the Directory. Putman
had issued the first appearance in 1865-6. From 1877
to 1936, Samuel E. Cassino had published the 1st to
30th of the 'Cassino' editions. Starting in 1938 various
publishers brought out new editions (50th ed., 2000).

and then Leipzig in 1824. He was appointed a professor
of crystallography and discipliar-Inspector at the Freiberg
Bergakademie in 1826. In 1835, his duties increased to
include a professorship of geognosy. In 1842, Naumann was

important in that Naumann introduced a novel method
for the designation and treatment of crystal forms,
which greatly simplified and coordinated those of Weiss
and Mohs and which was adopted almost immediately
by German crystallographers. Naumann also analyzed
the tetragonal system in this work and commenced
an examination of the incomplete symmetry of some
crystals, which led to many published descriptions
of tetartohedrism and hemimorphism. Although
Naumann continued to write on crystallography, his

RARE. This is the first appearance of Neumann's
Elements of Mineralogy a deservedly praised textbook,
which became the most popular instrument in the
German university system of the last half of the
nineteenth century. During his lifetime, on a regular
basis Naumann revised and enlarged the text, thus
keeping in step with all the latest discoveries in the
science. After his death in 1873, the tenth edition of the
work appeared under the editorship of one of his former
students, Ferdinand Zirkel, a renowned mineralogist in
his own right.

VERY SCARCE. Prof. Naumann in his excellent work,
commences with crystallography, the elements of which
are presented without entering into mathematical formulas.
The physical and chemical characters and classification
of minerals occupy the next 90 pages, and are treated
with much detail and system. In his classification of
species, which is related to that of Mohs, he adopts 16
classes: — I. Hydrogenoxyd; II. Hydrolytes; III. Chalcites;
IV. Haloids; V. Earths; VI. Geolites; VII. Amphoterolites;
VIII. Chalcolites; IX. Tantalitoids; X. Metalloxyds; XI.
Metals; XII. Glances or Galenoids; XIII. Pyritoids; XIV.
Cinnabarites or Blendes; XV. Thiolites; XVI. Anthracides.
The arrangement is quite similar to that adopted (as a
modification of Mohs's system) in the 1st and 2nd editions
of Dana's Mineralogy. The author enumerates and describes
643 species of minerals, giving the crystallography and
chemical characters of each briefly but with precision, and
mentioning the prominent localities.

Zirkel' s Stewardship
In 1873 after the death of Naumann, authorship of the
Elemente der Mineralogie transferred to Ferdinand Zirkel
[1838-1912]. One of the best mineralogists of the time
Zirkel continued the textbook authoring six more editions
until the last issue appeared in 1907.

Ferdinand Zirkel. (BORN: Bonn, Germany, 20
May 1838; DIED: Bonn, Germany, 11 June 1912) German
mineralogist, petrographer & geologist. Zirkel was educated
in his native town, and graduated Ph.D. at the university
in 1861. In early years he was engaged in teaching geology
and mineralogy in Vienna. He became professor of geology
in 1863 at the University of Lemberg, in 1868 at Kiel, and in
1870 professor of mineralogy and geology in the University
of Leipzig.

SCARCE. This important theoretical crystallogra-
phy textbook is divided into two sections. Beginning
from an introduction to analytical geometry, Naumann
develops the foundation of crystallographic studies from
a mathematical viewpoint. General topics covered in-
clude axis definitions, space groups, zoning, and twin-
ning. The later section (pp. 73-383) applies the intro-
ductory material to detailed discussions of each crystal
system class: tessular (cubic), tetragonal, hexagonal,
rhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic. Within each of these
systems Naumann provides in depth observationson the
formation of the class, variations that are encountered,
distortion of the axes, twinning, etc.

St. Petersburg Mining Institute. Russian institution.
The oldest technical institution of higher learning in
Russia. It was founded in 1773 as the Mining School
and enjoyed a status similar to that of an academy. In
1804 it became the Military School of Mines, in 1833 the
Institute of the Corps of Military School of Mines, and
in 1866, the Institute of Mines. The St. PETERSBURG
MlNERALOGICAL SOCIETY was founded at the institute in
1817. Many of the best Russian mineralogists, geologists
and mining engineers graduated from this institution.

NEUES JAHRBUCH FÜR MINERALOGIE.
In 1807, Karl Caesar von Leonhard began to publish the
first substantial journal devoted to mineralogy. Titled
Taschenbuch für die gesammte Mineralogie [which see
entry under that title], this serial was an eclectic mix
of both amateur and professional articles, and it is an
indispensable source for the history of early nineteenth
century mineralogy. Becoming widely known as
simply "Leonhard's Taschenbuch" it continued to be
published until 1829. Then Leonhard together with
H.G. Bronn founded a new periodical directed to a
more professional readership and with a broader scope
than just mineralogy. The first volume appeared in
1830 and was published in a larger format under the
more encompassing title, Jahrbuch für Mineralogie,
Geognosie, Geologie und Petrefaktenkunde. All topics
of the earth sciences are covered within this journal
including many important original articles, abstracts
from other journals, book reviews, obituaries, etc. In
1833 the journal was renamed to the more familiar
Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie, etc. This change
reflected that the periodical was devoted to presenting
all that was new in the science of mineralogy. In
1925 the periodical was split into two principle sections.
Abteil A is devoted to mineralogy and petrology, while
Abteil В contains articles relevant to geology and
paleontology. This important journal remains today
one of the foremost German scientific journals devoted
to the earth sciences, including mineralogy.

VERY SCARCE. Published in a larger octavo format
this journal is directed at a more professional readership
than the Taschenbuch der gesammte Mineralogie [which
see] that it supercedes. Leonhard had decided to change
its focus based upon the material being received and
the need for a journal that would cover all aspects of
mineralogy, geology, and paleontology. For this reason
the Jahrbuch was in 1830 founded with H. Bronn.
It was truly a yearbook, giving details and abstracts
of events that had occurred over the previous year
in the specified fields, together with original articles,
book reviews, obituaries, etc. Only 3 volumes of
the Jahrbuch appeared from the Heidelberg publisher
Georg Reichard, then in 1833, publication was moved
to E. Schweizerbart's Verlagshandlung in Stuttgart,
where both editors held teaching positions. But this
necessitated the title change to the Neues Jahrbuch by
which it was widely known through out the 19th century
and to the first quarter of the 20th century. Due to its
length of publication and inclusion of papers by every
prominent mineralogist during it time, it is perhaps the
best of all the many mineralogical journals published.

parent publication. These articles seem to be of a more
interesting character than simple mineral descriptions.
In fact they are usually quite long and in depth studies
on physical properties, instrumentation, new laboratory
techniques, etc. These Beilage-Band were a separate
subscription and appear to be rarer than the Neues

VERY RARE. In this derivative work the
author describes the magical properties of various
gemstones, treating in the first portion the origin of
gems, their general virtues, mythic lore, supposed
magical powers, colors, and compositions. The second
part in 37 chapters describes individual stones from
diamonds onwards, emphasizing magical properties and
medical uses. Following Discoidrides the final section
describes the manufacturer of medicinal preparations
that includes gemstone ingredients and their application
to patients. The work is a repetition of older material
with little if any new perspectives.

VERY SCARCE. Although this would normally be
called a second edition, it is not so labeled on the
title page. In fact, this was essentially a new book,
extensively rewritten and enlarged to bring the text up
to date. Nicholson has drawn heavily on the Chimie
Appliquée aux Arts of the French chemist, Jean-Antoine
Chaptal [1756-1832], which Nicholson had translated into
English in 1807. The Appendix contains various tables
and reproduces Davy's Bakerian Lecture of November 19,
1807 on the decomposition of the fixed alkalis by electricity.
After Nicholson's death, ANDREW URE was engaged by the
publisher to write a new chemical dictionary that went
though translations and many editions during the 19th
century [which see].

SCARCE. This richly illustrated volume describes
in 16 books items from the natural world. It
contains the earliest published account of natural
history in America, and is particularly important for
its descriptions of animals in North America, including
Mexico, and the East Indies. Incorporated are accounts
of many American plants, animals, and minerals
including the best early descriptions of bison, birds of
paradise and many types of snakes. The descriptions
of minerals occurs in chapter XVI (pages 373—386),
and includes precious stones, emerald, amber, sapphire,
gold, carbuncle, various lead ores, silver, beryl, gypsum,
marble, salt, coloring pigments and agents, fossils, etc.
The marvelous woodcuts (54 of animals and 15 of
plants) by Christoffel Jegher [see note below] vividly
illustrate the text, and in several cases picture some
species for the first time. Appended to the end are 2
additional treatises. The first describes the miraculous
natural wonders of Europe and the second gives an
account of the same phenomena in the Promised Land
of the Hebrews. The descriptions of the American items
appear to be based on FRANCISCO Hernandez's 16
volume manuscript in the Escorial library before it was
destroyed by fire in 1671.
Christoffel Jegher. (BORN: Antwerp, Belgium, 1590;
DIED: 1652/3) German engraver. Wood engraver of German
extraction. He attracted the attention of the Flemish
painter Rubens, who employed him to execute several cuts
of his own design.

RARE. Edited by Sergei Nikolaevich Nikitin this
publication was authorized by a special commission
(of which Nikitin was a member) called the "Comité
Géologique." It is an annotated bibliography that
reviews the Russian geological publications of the
preceding year. It is an highly important geological
bibliography listing many important 19th century
publications when most of the great geological
explorations of Siberia and Belorussia were occurring.
Each entry contains a commentary in Russian and
French describing the book under discussion.
Each volume is classified by subject with entries
ordered alphabetically by author. The principal
divisions with in the volumes are: Descriptive
geology, Paleontology, Physical geology, Mineralogy,
Petrology, Soil science, Applied Geology, and Periodical
publications. Indexes to subjects, geographical
locations, and authors conclude each volume.

VERY SCARCE. The present work is Nöggerath's
most important publication describing the mineralogy
and geology of the mountains of the Rhineland and
Westphalia and was the first and standard work on
the subject. According to the first volume, annual
volumes were to appear, but the series stopped after
the fourth was issued. Nöggerath used all the tools
at his command including chemistry to investigate the
minerals, rocks, and geology of the mountains. Many
others contributed important papers to this series,
these Nöggerath edited and frequently wrote notes and
additions to them. The very descriptive observations
are by today's standards quaint artifacts of a different
age, but they are nevertheless useful for their historical
perspective. The plates show hand-colored maps,
geological cross sections and views.

Nils Adolf Erik von Nordenskiöld
NORDENSKIÖLD, Nils Adolf Erik von. (Born:
Helsingfors, Finland, 18 November 1832; DIED: Stock-
holm, Sweden, 12 August 1901) Finnish geographer, ge-
ologist, mineralogist & historian of cartography.
Nordenskiöld's ancestors originally came from Swe-
den, but for several generations had settled in Finland. His
father, Nils Gustav Nordenskiöld, was both a mineralogist
and an explorer. After applying himself especially to chem-
istry and mineralogy, he graduated from the University of
Helsingfors in 1853, and accompanied his father on an ex-
pedition to the Urals Mountains of Russia to study the
iron and copper mines at Tagilsk. In 1855, Nordenskiöld
traveled to Berlin to continue his mineralogical studies. He
returned to Helsingfors receiving his masters and doctor-
ate degrees. However, differences with the Russian author-
ities caused him to relocate to Stockholm, where he was
appointed professor and curator of the mineralogical de-
partment of the Swedish State Museum. He made many
expeditions, most notably to Greenland and the arctic. In
1880, he was made a Swedish baron and commander of the
Order of the Nordstjerna.

VERY SCARCE. In the introduction, Nordenskiöld
writes that the advances in mineral chemistry published
in Rammelsberg's Handwörterbuch des Chemischen
Theils der Mineralogie (Berlin, 1841) has provided a
solid foundation on which a true chemical classification
of mineral species can be built. For crystallography,
the work of Brooke and Miller was relied on. The
"Register" provides an alphabetical list of mineral
species described in the text. The text describes
minerals found in Finland classified according to a
chemical classification.

Nordenskiöld was the father of NILS ADOLF ERIK VON
NORDENSKIÖLD. He studied chemistry and mineralogy at
Abo Academy under J. Gadolin. Through the patronage
of Count Fabien Steinheil, he was given the opportunity to
study abroad for a long period. Upon his return in 1817,
Nordenskiöld was appointed inspector of mines in Finland,
followed by a post as superintendent of the Mining Board
in Helsingfors in 1823. He was elected a member of the
Academy of Sciences at Helsingfors.

ODOLANT-DESNOS, Joseph Jacques. (Born: 1797;
DlED: after 1850?) French writer.
Since its foundation in 1652, the Academy of Caen
has attracted to its ranks many Men of Letters and
personalities originating from, or connected with, the Orne
département. One, M. Odolant-Desnos, called a man of
letters in Paris, is mentioned between the years 1830 to
1850, and is probably related (son?) to a noted eighteenth
century French historian, Pierre-Joseph Odolant-Desnos
[1722-1801]. Joseph Jacques authored works on a variety
of topics including mythology, economics, and history.
Although other biographical information is obscure, his
birth year is given in several sources as 1797.

Oken
OKEN, Lorenz. (BORN: Bohlsbach near Offenburg,
Gemany, 1 September 1779; DIED: Zurich, Switzerland,
11 September 1851) German naturalist.
Born Okenfuß, the natural scientist changed his
name to Oken "to avoid ridicule". The son of a
farmer, Oken had studied medicine in Freiburg before
transferring to Göttingen, where he qualified to lecture
in 1805. He was summoned to Jena to take up the
extraordinary professorship for medicine in 1807. He
had, however, already discovered his special liking for
philosophy and the sciences, and published a whole series
of natural-philosophical and natural-historical works over
the following years. In 1816 he was awarded the title
of Honorary Doctor of Philosophy by the University of
Gießen. In the same year, he first published the periodical
"Isis", which continued publication until 1848 and became
the cause of much controversy. Oken wanted to establish
"Isis" as a forurn for all academic subjects (except theology
and jurisprudence), and publicised his political views there.
Calls for a ban on the publication were heard from several
quarters, among others from Goethe who had a personal
enmity with Oken. After Oken and two other professors
from Jena had taken part in the Wartburgfest and reported
the event in " Isis" , Oken was forced to resign and the
journal was banned in Jena. After a short stay in Basel
in the winter term of 1821/22, Oken lived privately in
Munich and continued to publish his magazine. In 1827, he
was made a full professor of physiology at the University
of Munich, but continued to involve himself in numerous
disputes there and was forced to step down in 1832.
The following year, he was offered a full professorship
for natural history in Zürich which he held until his
death. Oken's main work is considered to be the 13-volume
"Naturgeschichte für alle Stände" (natural history for all
social ranks), first published between 1833 and 1841.

VERY RARE. Oken's attempt to create a new
classification of ores. Unlike systems of the past, it does
not rely simply on the chemical, crystallography, and
physical characteristics, but also includes the nature of
the ores formation in the classification. GOETHE was
not convinced of the theory, however, and authored his
essay, "Natürliches System der Erze nach Oken" about
it.

VERY SCARCE. From an early age, Oken took
an active interest in all branches of natural history
and human knowledge on which he authored many
contributions. One of his major works is his Allgemeine
Naturgeschichte (General Natural History) which he
compiled with monumental diligence, bringing together
his extensive knowledge of minerals, animals, and
plants, that appeared in a series that extended to
thirteen volumes over nine years. The series begins
with a volume describing minerals that contains a
good mineralogy, authored by FRIEDRICH AUGUST
WALCHNER.. In the next volumes it goes into plants
and animals, with the concluding sections being a
description of humans. Oken provides a wonderful text,
filled with many stories and knowledgeable details, in
a manner not often encountered in books any more.
The author was attempting to create a work that in
historical retrospect can be called one of the first to
be interpreted as a work of popular science. Oken
invented the systems that arrange the minerals, plants,
and animals that are described, as well as introducing
a nomenclature to support it. His importance lies
in the formation of fundamental concepts that guided
his publications. For example, Oken postulated the
existence of a primal slime from which all living things
originated. His work has been assessed by historians
and philosophers from then on.
An Atlas with illustrations for the text volumes
was published in 1843. It contains the following plates:
mineralogy 6 plates (2 hand-colored, 4 b/w all showing
cross-sections!), plants 22 plates (20 colored, 2 b/w),
anatomy 13 plates ( colored, 13 b/w), zoology 21
plates (11 colored, 10 b/w), and supplement 11 plates
(11 colored, b/w), for a total of 73 plates of which 44
are handcolored and 29 b/w plates.

Iceland's fight to preserve and revive its language, culture,
and economy. He was of an old farming family, and his
major interests lay in natural history. He took a bachelor's
degree at the University of Copenhagen. Encouraged by
the Danish authorities who governed Iceland at the time
he was entrusted to write a meticulous description of the
places, climate, inhabitants, lifestyle, traditions, fauna,
flora, and mineral resources. Assisted by his friend Bjarni
Pálsson, he composed his Reise igiennem Island (1772),
which was very popular, and existed for many years as the
best and principle source of information about Iceland.

[619]-1042, [62], 20, [2] p., 51 plates, one engraved map.
Rare. Co-authored with Bjarni Pálsson and
edited by G. Sch0ning. Released in 1772 this book
is a good scientific description of Iceland, containing
observations on the manners and customs of the
inhabitants, a description of the lakes, rivers, glaciers,
hot-springs, and volcanoes, of the various kinds of
earths, stones, fossils, and petrifactions, as well as of
the animals, insects, fishes, etc. It was based upon
a survey the authors performed at the request of the
King of Denmark. They arrived on the island in 1752
and altogether spent five years on this scientific journey.
On the basis of this report of the journey, the Danish
government reinterpreted and reevaluated their role in
Iceland.

Rare. Olafur Olafsyn traveled through out
Iceland in the summers of 1775-1777 under instructions
to study harbors and landing sites in order to find
places suitable to set up fishing settlements. Olavius
wrote a book on his travels and research entitled
Oeconomisk Reise igiennem Island, published in 1780.
This economic survey concentrates on northern Iceland
and contains detailed references to mining, mineral
resources, shipping and fishing. Icelandic waters have
always been extremely productive fishing grounds and
have been fought over many times.
The book includes a new map of Iceland which was
largely unchanged from the map contained in Eggert
Ölafsson and Bjarni Pálsson's Reise igiennem Island
(Sor0e, 1772), but was printed in a slightly different
format and was something of an improvement. It was
Jón Eiriksson who was mainly responsible for creating
the map but he would have used Olavius' data. The
coastline of the country is unchanged from the journal
map but the treatment of the place names is vastly
superior.

Olearius was a well-known travel writer. After
studying at Leipzig he became librarian and court
mathematician to Duke Frederick III. of Holstein-Gottorp,
and in 1633 he was appointed secretary to the ambassadors
Philip Crusius, jurisconsult, and Otto Briigge-mann or
Brugman, merchant, sent by the duke to Muscovy and
Persia in the hope of making arrangements by which his
newly- founded city of Friedrichstadt should become the
terminus of an overland silk-trade.

1633. Through Olearius, The Duke of Schleswig-Holstein
purchased the collection and brought it to his estate at
Gottorf in 1651. After subsequent additions, Olearius
was retained to write this catalog, which was long used
by collectors as a convient handbook. Murray records
that the greater part of the Museum was then taken to
St. Petersburg, where it was absorbed into the imperial
collections.
The first few plates are of ethnographic interest
relating to the East and also Lapland, plate 5 shows a
representation of the seasons by an arrangement of fruits
and plants, and the others show animals, minerals, fossils,
etc. The book is completed by a Holstein Chronicle of the
same author following after the work here described. ([1]-

RARE. By 1570, the fame of Calzolari's Museum
had spread beyond the borders of Italy, and was well
known to naturalists throughout Europe. Besides,
within Italy, Calzolari's generosity and hospitality
attracted a large number of visitors, particularly
physicians, to personally visit the Museum. For these
reasons and a close bond of friendship between Calzolari
and Olivi, the later undertook to compile a catalog of
the museum's objects. It appeared as a small book of
little substance, which contains typical of the time, a
number of recommendatory letters.
The title records that the work is dedicated to
Dr. Gerolamo Mercuraile, a physician of Forli, and
instructor at the University of Padua. Following are
21 pages of dedicatory letters and sonnets extolling
the value of a catalog of the museum, describing the
aim of the work, and giving an actual eyewitness
account of an actual visit. Included are observations
about the museums contents, including the relatively
large collection of portraits of celebrated philosophers
and doctors. The inventory of the items follows and
includes in its listing, herbs, animals and minerals,
in no systematic order, with frequent references to
exhibits in the Calzolari museum. The work concludes
with another declaration, complete with seal, by the

PALISSY, Bernard. (BORN: Agen, in southern France,
cl510; DlED: Paris, France, 1590) French geologist.
Palissy was a technical chemist and potter, and self
taught naturalist. He was trained in the manufacture
and decoration of stained glass windows. After his
apprenticeship, Palissy traveled throughout France. He was
fascinated by the various soils and stones and immediately
took up the study of chemistry. He studied chemistry in the
labs of alchemists and pharmacists. H is interest in collecting
mineralogical specimens was inspired by his interest in
developing new colored glasses for his pottery.
Palissy converted to Protestantism in about 1546. He
was one of the first Huguenots in Saintes, and was much
persecuted for his religion. He joined with other artists to
form a reformed church. Although a warrant of arrest was
issued as early as 1558 for this group of artists, Palissy was
imprisoned in Bordeaux in 1562. He was released through
the influence of the queen mother. In 1588, soon after
religious warfare once more broke out in France, he was

VERY RARE. Duveen calls this an "extremely
rare and a book of great importance in the history
of chemistry and science generally." A skilled potter,
Palissy first became famous for making rustic enameled
earthenware, an art which earned him the position of
"inventeur des rustiques figurines du Roy". In 1575,
despite his lack of formal education, he began lecturing
on natural history. He was thus one of the first men
to teach natural science from facts, demonstarations
and specimens rather than theroy. Written in the form
of a dialogue between "Théorique" and "Pratique",
the Discours covers a wide range of subjects, the
most important of which are those on hydrology and
paleontolgy. "An early supporter of the infiltration
theory, he denied that rivers and streams had any source
other than rainfall. He also recognised the relation
between fossils and both living and extint species, and
was one of the first to hold a reasonably correct view
of the process of petrification." Norman. The rarity
of this work was already mentioned by Brunet and
confirmed by Duveen, but Ferguson's inscription in his
copy purchased in 1889 is best: "At last, after long,
long waiting and watching."

SCARCE. Second edition of each part, first under this
title. This is the earliest suggestion that France's economic
problems could be solved through technology. This volume
contains the second editions of Palissy's two major works,
the extremely rare Recepte Veritable (1st ed., La Rochelle,
1563) and the Discours Admirables.
The first part, from the Recepte Veritable deals with
agriculture, forestry, gardening and fortification. The
second is essentially a reprint with some corrections of
the Discours Admirables, and discusses a range of topics in
hydrology, geology, paleontology, mineralogy, engineering,
chemistry and medicine.

VERY SCARCE. Pallas was commissioned for
a 5 year exploration of southern Russia (1771-6).
This important ethnological work describes Pallas'
expedition through various provinces of the Russian
empire. Descriptions include the people, towns, plants,
animals, and mineral resources. The plates show plants,
people, animals and maps of the trip.
In 1767 Pallas was invited by Catherine II to work
at the S:t Petersburg Academy of Sciences.. During
his first years (in Russia) he studied nature and the
peoples of the., empire, participating in the Academic
expeditions of 1768-1774. His research as leader of the
first Orenburg detachment of the expeditions covered
both Russia and Asia. Pallas and his companions
journeyed from S:t Petersburg to Moscow; crossed the
Volga at Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk); and explored the
Zhiguli Mountains and the southern Urals, the steppes
of western Siberia and the Altay, Lake Baikal, and the
mountains of Transbaikalia. The easternmost regions
visited were the basins of the Shika and Argun rivers.
On his way back to S:t Petersburg, Pallas studied the
Caspain depression and the lower reaches of the Volga
. (DSB, 10, p. 283).
Cox I, p. 199: ""Pallas was one of the savants
chosen by the St. Petersburg Academy to carry on the
work of examining the resources of the far distant parts
of the Russian Empire. He left St. Petersburg in 1768
and spent a full six years investigating various districts
of Siberia, the Urals, the Caspian, Tobolsk, Lake Baikal,
the Lower Volga, etc. His reports on the geology, fauna,
and flora are of great scientific value. "" His journey
extended to the frontiers of China. ""Few explorations
have been as fruitful as this six years' journey"" (Ency.
Brit.).

SCARCE. French translation from the German original
(1771-76); the atlas is taken from the enlarged 8vo edition.
Pallas' expedition which took him six years to complete,
proved to be one of the richest of the whole century
regarding scientific results, being considerable importance
for the ethnology, geography, linguistics, botany, zoology,
and geology of Asia, especially Siberia. More than half the
plates show plants; among the maps i* the fine large one ol
the Russian Krnpire, measuring 57 x 127 cm.
This French translation contains, in addition to the
narrative, the natural history results of the expedition
which were not included in the first German edition.
Significant work on RUSSIA at the time of the
large Catherine, translated from the German by Gauthier
of Peyronie, clerk of the Foreign Affairs. " VOYAGE
undertaken by 7 Russian astronomers and geometricians
having for goal the observation of the Venus passage
on the solar disc. Catherine II considered it necessary
to send with thern 5 naturalists capablent to explore a
still unknown country. The voyage lasted 6 long years
during which, the course of La'ik, the edges of the Caspian
Sea, the lake Baikal to the Chinese border was explored.
Forwarding returned overpowered sufferings, continuation
of a so painful course. Almost none of his/her companions
lived long enough to give him even its relation and it
was Pallas which redoubled activity to return this care to
their memory by this great work made up according to the
manuscripts communicated by the unit of the participants
in this exceptional scientific voyage which contains exact
observations and facts interesting and curious on the
natural History, the Minerals, Botany, physics, Astronomy
and all that relates to Manners, the Uses, the habits, the
Religions, the languages, the Traditions, the Monuments
and Antiquities, etc " (universal Biography of Michaud.

PANAROLI, Domenico. (Born: 1587; Died: Rome,

Panaroli was professor of botany at the University of
Rome. Built in the first century AD, the Colosseum housed
Gladiatorial combat until the sixth century. By 1643, when
Italian doctor Domenico Panaroli compiled the first plant
survey, Plantarum Amphytheatralium Catalogus, the Romans
had made themselves at home. "It was full of people living
and working, and a hideout for thieves," says Giulia Canevá
of the University of Rome.

VERY RARE. This is the catalog of Panaroli's
museum. After a dedication to Cardinal Barberino
[1568-1644], who became Pope Urban VIII, and a
short preface explaining the scope of the collection, the
contents of the collection are listed. It is an alphabetical
list by item name, with no other information. Panaroli's
museum apparently contained stones, gems, various
beozaar stornes, plants, preserved animals and fish, etc.

Rare. An annotated translation by Heinrich
Salumth of the Italian original, that was not published
until 1612. Pancirolis gives an account of the inventions
and discoveries of the ancients in this popular work.
The second volume published in 1602 deals with secrets
that were unknown in antiquity but it is rare to find
complete sets of the work. Ferguson, although aware of
the 1599-1602 edition had seen none before 1631, but
describes "Pancirolis work is interesting, not only as
giving some notion of the state of knowledge as to the
history of invention in his time, but as displaying the
attitude of scholars towards the practical arts of the
ancients."

PARACELSUS. (BORN: Sihlbriicke, near Einsiedeln,
Switzerland, 10 November 1493; DIED: Salzburg,
Austria, 24 September 1541) Swiss physician &
alchemist.
Paracelsus is also known as Theophrastus von
Hohenheim, Eremita (of Einsiedeln), and Theophrastus
Bombastus von Hohenheim. It is now established that the
family originally came from Wurtemberg, where the noble
family of Bombastus was in possession of the ancestral
castle of Hohenheim near Stuttgart until 1409; Paracelsus is
the Latin form in common use among the German scholars
of the time. Among his teachers, Paracelsus mentions a
prolonged interval spent in the laboratories of Sigmund
Fugger at Schwaz who made him familiar with metallurgy.
All his life restless and eager for travel, he attended the
most important universities of Germany, France, and Italy,
and, in 1526, went to Strasburg, where, already a doctor.
His teaching, as well as his opposition to the prevailing
Galeno-Arabic system, the burning of Avicenna's writings
in a public square, the polemical tone of his discourses,
which, contrary to all custom, were delivered in German,
his dissensions with the faculty, attacks on the greed of
apothecaries, and to a certain extent, also, his success as
a practitioner— All drew upon him the hatred of those in
authority. In February he fled from Basle to Colmar.

Paracelsus
VERY RARE. Edited by Michael Toxites [see
note below] from previous publications and previously
unpublished manuscript material. The text begins
with a long section describing various "natural things."
This is divided into 17 chapters describing: (1)
turpentine, (2) the black and white varieties of
the medicinal hellebore plant, (3) " Wasser blüt," (4)
salt and its compounds, (5) the Saint James Wart,
(6) the magnet, which predates William Gilbert by
30 years, (7) sulfur, (8) vitriol, (9) arsenic, (10)
a further tract on turpentine, (11) honey and its
varieties, (12) descriptions of various herbs, (13)
"Persicaria," (14) salt and its manufacture, (15) the
English Thistle, (16) coral, and (17) the manufacture
of magnets. Two tracts published from manuscript
material concerning minerals and mineral waters
follow. Finally, descriptions of elemental water (in the
Aristotelian element sense), metals, minerals, salts, and
precious stones close the work.
The Paracelsian view expounded throughout all
of his works is that metals and minerals are formed
and grown within the earth, each in its own time,
from congealing elemental water and comprise: (1)
metals, (2) gems, (3) salts, (4) mineral springs, (5) silver
and golden marcasites, (6) common stones, including
marble, slate, alabaster and jasper, (7) sulfurous earths
such as yellow (amber) and black (jet), and (8) coral,
eagle-stone, most petrifications and 'lusta naturae'
(sports of nature). The colors of gems are due to
included metal impurities, thus the green of emerald
comes from copper, golden hue of carbuncle due to gold,
red of ruby to iron, blue of sapphire to silver, white
sapphire to tin, hyacinth to mercury, and each in turn
corresponding to particular planet. This is where each
substance derives its medicinal virtue.
Paracelsus' view on the generation of metals,
stones and minerals owes much to the Arabic authors.
He criticised the old theory that they were composed of
only mercury and sulfur, believing that salt also entered
into their composition. He recognized seven metals,
corresponding with the planets, of both male and female
types, thus iron was female while steel was male. He
recognized that many undiscovered metals might exist.
Michael Toxites. (BORN: Stoerzingen, Graubündten,
Germany, 1515; DIED: Hagenau, Germany, 1581) German
physician. Toxites studied at the University of Tübingen,
where for a long period he was also an instructor. After he
made a tour of Italy, Toxites was named the city physician
of Hagenau, where he remaind the rest of his life. He was
a liberal thinker, and is best known for his commentaries
on the work of Paracelsus.

Rare. Edited by Johannes Huser. Massive
collected edition of Paracelsus's works; very rare, and
one of the most important texts in the transition
from medieval to modern medicine. "Paracelsus is
a phenomenon in the history of medicine, a genius
tardily recognized, who in his impetuosity sought to
overturn the old order of things, thereby rousing bitter
antagonists..." Paracelsus firmly opposed the humoral
theory of disease championed by Galen, advocated the
use of specific remedies for specific diseases, introducing
many chemicals (e.g., laudanum, mercury, sulfur,
iron, and arsenic) into use as medicines; and noted
relationships such as the hereditary pattern in syphilis
and the association of cretinism with endemic goiter
and of paralysis with head injuries. Paracelsus was
a violent reformer who had a hot-blooded, polemical
style and controversially lectured in German rather
than the standard Latin. In his thirties he fled
his post in Basle to live the life of a peripatetic
visionary: "A typical vagrant, his subsequent life was
spent in continual wandering, surrounded by a troop
of adventurers, with the reputation of a charlatan,
but all the while observing all things with remarkable
zeal, and busied with the composition of his numerous
works." (Senfelder). This is one of the Huser editions,
considered the best of the early collections, but still with
some spurious works.

VERY SCARCE. This is another of the many
mineralogical books designed to illustrate the wide
variety of colors and forms exhibited in the mineral
kingdom. The first part first defines what a mineral is,
which is followed by a long description of the 95 figures
illustarted on the 10 colored plates. The second part
describes the insturments used in mineralogy, followed
by a long description of the 104 figures illustrated on
the 10 color plates. The chromolithographie plates are
of very good quality, and they appear to be original to
this work.
The two parts of this work were reissued as title page
editions.

VERY SCARCE. Catalog of the Hof-Mineral
collection located in Vienna. The collection was
founded by Emperor Franz Stephan I [1708-1765], who
was an ardent supporter of the natural sciences, and
a connoisseur of beautiful minerals and gems. In
1748 he purchased the large natural history collection
of Johann von Baillou. This collection was the
largest of its kind, consisting of approximately 30,000
objects, including an extensive mineralogical suite. The
mineralogist IGNAZ EDLER VON BORN was retained to
arrange the collection. However, after the Emperor's
death, his widow, the Empress Maria Theresa [1717-
1780], presented the collections to the Austrian state.
This gift formed the nucleus of the Hof- Cabinet,
which was reorganized in 1889 into the present day,
Naturalhistorisches Museum.
The present work is a catalog of the mineralogical
portion of the collection, arranged according to MOHS
classification system. It contains descriptions of all
mineral species represented in the collection to the end
of 1827. Under each species, the localities represented
by the specimens is provided. The folding plate at the
end provides a schematic plan of the collection room.

Siberia. His extensive travels in the Urals, Altai and other
regions of Siberia lasted from 1780 to 1787. The mineral
specimens he collected were sent back to St. Petersburg
ahead of his return, but were partially confiscated by Pyotr
SIMON PALLAS, who took the choicest pieces for his own
cabinet. The other Siberian specimens were offered for sale
to the Jardin du Roi Collection in Paris, on the stipulation
that the group not be broken up.

PLATES: Scattered throughout the five volumes are 40
unnumbered engraved plates. Presumablly, all of the plates
are designed by Desève, with most signed by one of three
engravers. At the time of publication, the work could be

VERY SCARCE. The five volumes described
represent Tomes XXVII-XXXI or the complete
mineralogy section of Cours Complet d'Histoire
Naturelle de Buffon, which was published in 80 volumes.
Although the series title page indicates that Patrin's
work ostensibly follows BUFFON theories, it really does
not. Patrin's effort is a separate work, and the product
of his own independent research.
The long introduction of the first volume gives
an overview of the works purpose, a description of
the classification method, comments on the origin of
minerals and mineralized deposits and references to
the literature. A glossary of mineralogical terms as
well as a table of contents to all five volumes is also
included. Patrin explains that the many observations
of Russian and Siberian sources are from his first hand
knowledge and extensive travels in Russia, and the
Ural Mountains. Patrin was exceptionally well traveled
and many of his observations on minerals of Europe
and Scandinavia were based on his personal experience.
The text of work describes individual species in rather
long essay format, which is its only resemblance to
the work of Buffon. A wide variety of minerals are
described including, quartz, zircon, Bohemian topaz,
amethyst, Russian adventurine, jade, Russian beryls
and topazes, gold, silver, copper, volcanic products,
amber, sulfur, bitumens, and fossils. Throughout,
the somewhat crude plates complement the text with
illustrations of minerals described therein. Apparently,
copies of the book with these plates either plain or hand-
colored could be purchased at the time of publication.
In addition, a few copies of the work have been
encountered with the plates present in both states.

Peithner was first the Registrator of the Bohemian
mint and mining works in Prag. In 1762, he became
professor of mining science at the Bergacademie at
Schemnitz, Hungary, followed by mining advisor to the
nation, and in 1772, instructor of practical mining
techniques. In 1775, he was appointed a privy councillor in
Vienna, and in 1791, mining inspector in Prag.

VERY RARE. In February 1564, Perez de Vargas
was granted a licence to prepare a work in the
Spanish language describing mining and metallurgical
technology, persumably to help guide the extraction of
mineral wealth from the New World. Although the book
he published in 1568 does deal in considerable detail
with these subjects, it is a translation and largely a
plagerism of GEORG Agricola's De Re Metallica (1st
ed., Leipzig, 1556), with little or no originality from
the supposed author. In fact, only a single reference to
Agrícola is made in the work, even though a chapter
by chapter comparision between Agricola's work and
this book clearly shows little difference. After the
preliminaries, the work is divided into nine books. The
first has 10 chapters giving a philosophical background
to the form and nature of metals. The second in 5
chapters describes the causes of metals. The third in 9
chapters covers the nature of metals and in particular
that of gold. The 15 chapters of the fourth book
describe where to look for valuable deposits. The
fifth book considers the benefits derived from metals
and mines in 17 chapters. The sixth characterizes the
preparation of ores for smelting, and how they should
be ground, toasted and washed in 21 chapters. The
seventh book in 15 chapters describes how to separate
one rnetal from another. Pecuilar secrets of metals
are the object of the 10 chapters of the eighth book.
The last book describes in 20 chapters how minerals
are distributed in the land. Like the early editions of
Alvaro Alonso Barba's Arte de los Metales, any book
that had a connection to the mineral resources of the
New World, was printed in a very limited edition so that
the secrets might be better kept. Perez de Vargas's
De Re Metálica is no exception to this rule; it is an
exceptionally rare book. Brunet (1864) records only
five auction records for this title between 1767 and 1791,
and gives it the description: "Volume auquel sa grande
rareté avait autrefois procuré un prix considérable."

PETIVER, James. (Born: 1663; Died: London,
England, 20 April 1718) English naturalist.
The son of James and Mary Petiver of Hillmorton,
Warwickshire. Educated at Rugby Free School he
was later apprenticed to Mr. Feltham, Apothecary to
St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Subsequently he became
Apothecary to Charterhouse and seems to have had a good
practice at the White Cross near Long Lane, Aldersgate
Street, London, where he resided for the rest of his life.
A close friend of John Ray and recognised as a
botanist, Petiver spent a good deal of time studying natural
history. In October 1695 he was elected a Fellow of the
Royal Society.
In spite of a busy practice Petiver managed to
correspond with naturalists throughout the world and form
large collections representing all groups of natural science.
At the same time he made numerous expeditions into the
country in order to add specimens to his museum.
After a period of ill-health Petiver died, unmarried,
at his home in Aldersgate Street on 20th April I7I8 and
was buried at St. Botolph's Church in the same street.
Although he never seemed to be comfortably off financially
during his lifetime his collections, books and manuscripts
were purchased by Sir Hans Sloane for ¿4,000, a very large
sum in those days, and ultimately passed to the British
Museum fomling the basis of the collections there.

either wholly or partially coloured are very much scarcer
than those containing plain plates. In the copy collated all
the plates are uncoloured.

RARE. LISNEY: Petiver's scientific writings were
chiefly concerned with zoology, botany and mineralogy
and included papers in the Philosophical Transactions
of the Royal Society. Most of his publications consisted
of monographs, pamphlets and broadsheets many of
which were illustrated.
His contribution to entomology in the seventeenth
and early eighteenth centuries comes second only in
importance to the work of John Ray, as exemplified
chiefly by Ray's Historia Insectorurn which was
published posthumously. These two early naturalists
between them laid a firm foundation to our knowledge
of the entomology of Britain at that time.
The entomological references are included in
a variety of miscellaneous zoological, botanical and
other treatises published between 1695 and I7I7.
Although each species is classified by a concise
descriptive sentence instead of a name, identification is
a comparatively easy matter where plates are present
because of the excellent drawings. It was not until
publication of the Systema Naturae by Linnaeus in 1735
that a generic and specific name was given to each

animal, flower and insect known to him.
I am convinced that all Petiver's works were issued
separately as and when published and that any early
volumes consisting of a number of them bound together
was an arrangement by the purchaser and not the
publisher. I do not, therefore, agree with Lowndes that
most of Petiver's works, published between 1702 and
I7I5 and bound in volumes, constitute first editions.
Petiver probably intended his Gazophylacium to
consist of two folio volumes of five decade each. The
text in the first volume was printed on one side of the
paper only so that it could be cut up and pasted on
the front end paper and on the backs of the plates; by
this means the appropriate text faces the plate to which
it refers. Copies with printed dedications pasted at the
bottom of each plate occur but more often these are not
present. Later the text was printed on both sides of the
paper. Examples of the first volume, one of which is in
my possession, are very rare and a copy in my library
of the second is, as far as I can ascertain, the only one
recorded.
All Petiver's works are exceedingly rare and it
is doubtful if copies of many of them still exist as
separate publications. Undoubtedly a considerable
number would have been lost to posterity entirely
were it not for the fact that John Millan, publisher
and extensive dealer in new and second-hand books,
realizing how scarce Petiver's works were becoming
even at that time bought up all available stocks and
issued them bound together with special title pages and
additional unpublished material by the same author.
On the verve of the title-pages the publisher has noted
that the last set of Petiver's works was sold through
the trade for the sum of .£20, a high price in those
days compared with their original cost. In order to
avoid confusion Petiver's publications are collated here
under cover of the titles of these two collected editions;
by no means all however contain references to British
lepidoptera.
The first collected edition, published by Millan in
1764, consists of two folio volumes and one octavo. It
is undoubtedly this disparity in size which has resulted
in many sets being incomplete with the third octavo
volume missing, having no doubt become separated on
library shelves.
Three years later the second collected edition was
published in two folio volumes and this also consists of
original copies of Petiver's works bound together. The
octavo text of the original third volume was reproduced
in folio and some new material was also included.

Rare. Extensive descriptive collection catalog of
the mineral specimens held in at Nazareno College in
Rome at the end of the 18th century. The preliminaries
of the first volume provide some history of the formation
of the collection and a synopsis of the new chemistry of
LAVOISIER. The catalog then commences, classifying
the specimens into a standard structure of salts, earths,
bitumens and flammable bodies, and metals. Volcanic
objects and fossils are given their own classifications
and are treated at the end of volume two.

contain's Pettus' tranlation, the only ever done into
English, of Lazarus Ercker's Aula Subterránea
Domina Dominantium Subdita. Subditorum (1st ed.,
Pragse, 1574). This section by Ercker is one of
the fundemental early texts in the field, containing
considerable important information about the processes
of mining and refining ores, including directions for
building the requisite ovens and cauldrons. The second
part, with its own title page dated 1683, which is Pettus'
original contribution to the volume, contains "essays
on metallick words, as a dictionary to many pleasing
discourses." This is the first metallurgical dictionary
in English consisting of a glossary of about 600 terms
used in mineralogy, mining and assaying. The engraved
illustrations are used for illuminating the technological
detailed discussed in the text.
This work was reissued with a new title page
in 1686, and it is that issue that is most commonly
encountered.

PHILLIPS, Alexander Hamilton. (Born: Lawrence-
ville near Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A., 15 May 1866;
DIED: Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A., 20 January 1937)
American biologist, mineralogist & crystallographer.
Phillips graduated from Princeton in 1887, and
immediately began a 49 year teaching career at that
institution. He was for some years an instructor in biology,
and afterwards analytical chemistry and mineralogy. In
1898, he was appointed assistant professor of mineralogy
and in 1903 he succeeded H.B. CORNWALL as full professor of
mineralogy. He was chairman of the organizing committee
for the foundation in 1919 of the Mineralogical Society of
America, becoming its president in 1931.

SCARCE. This basic mineralogical textbook bears
a close resemblance to Miers' book on the subject.
It is divided into 3 sections: I. Crystallography (pp.
1-218), II. Descriptive Mineralogy (pp. 219-545) and
III. Determinative Mineralogy (pp. 546-680). Within
crystallography, Phillips describes the various crystal
systems, methods of drawing crystals, optical properties
and the use of the goniometer. The section of
descriptive mineralogy describes the origins of minerals,
physical properties and the system of mineralogy based
upon Dana's. Finally, within determinative mineralogy,
are described various reagents and blowpipes. Included
are three tables for the determination of the more
common minerals: 1. by physical properties, 2. through
thin sections and 3. by chemical tests. The heavily
illustrated text concludes with a comprehensive index.

PHILLIPS, William. (BORN: London, England, 10
May 1775; DIED: London, England, 2 April 1828)
English author, bookseller, mineralogist & geologist.
Born into the Quaker faith as the son of James
Phillips, printer and bookseller in London, William was
the brother of the distinguished chemist Richard Phillips
[1778-1851]. He early on became interested in mineralogy
and geological studies to which he devoted all his leisure
time. He participated in the foundation of the Geological
Society of London in 1807. He wrote several popular
works in the geological field, including Outlines of the
Geology of England and Wales (London, 1822) with W.D.
Conybeare [1815-1857]. This volume with its careful
original observations, good descriptions and an innovative
arrangement marked the beginning of a new era in English
geological publications. Philips was a elected a Fellow of
the Royal Society in 1827 and the Linnean Society in 1819.
The mineral "Phillipsite" was named after him by A. LEVY
in 1825.

VERY SCARCE. Developed as a text to accompany a
series of subscription lectures given by Phillips during the
winter of 1815, this work was intended as an elementary
introduction to the sciences of mineralogy and geology. The
clear writting style that is the trademark of the author
contributed to the popularity of this small book, and
undoubtedly lead to the issuing of several revised editions.
The text is divided into five lectures. The first on
pages 1-27 gives preliminary observations about mineralogy
and geology, and it describes simple and compound
minerals. The second on pages 28-60 covers the properties
of the metals and combustibles. The third lecture (pages
61-91) describes the purpose behind geological inquiry,
while briefly describing various hypotheses about the earth
and its formation. The origin of fossils on mountain
tops is treated in the fourth section (pages 92-140), while
on pages 141-192, the fifth lecture characterizes mineral
veins, various mineral deposits like salt and coal, volcanoes,
the Deluge and the internal structure of the earth. For
any reader interested in becoming further acquainted with
minerals, the preface plugs JOHN MAWE's establishment
in the Strand where "small collections ... [of minerals]
may be had of one hundred varieties and upwards,
with an arranged catalogue ... at any price between
$5 and $100." If the reader desires further reading in
mineralogy, ARTHUR AlKIN's Manuel of Mineralogy (London,
1815) is recommended. Of the plates, number 1 is used
as a frontispiece and shows the comparative heights of
mountains, number 2 shows primiative forms of crystals,
number 3 a cross section of Brocken mountain and number
4 mineral veins in the Tin Croft and Pink Mines.

reflecting goniometer. He used an insturment of his own
design which was accurate to the degree half— minute in
compiling the crystal measurements used in this work.
As a consequence this edition contained for its time the
most accurate body of crystal data in existance. This
information showed conclusively that whenever a crystal
form was not a perfectly regular solid, Haiiy's values were
wrong. In some cases Phillips showed the discrepencies
approached two degrees, and this further reinforced the
decline of Haiiy's theory of crystals.

VERY SCARCE. Essentially nothing is left of Phillips'
original work, except perhaps a lingering clarity in the
writing. Mineralogy had progressed so much since
Phillip's death that his ideas were now considered historic
curiosities, but his name still commanded respect among
the English public. Hence this edition was brought forward
by ROBERT ALLAN, who made it a very readable volume.

VERY SCARCE. Co-authored with HENRY JAMES
Brooke and William Hallowes Miller, this work is one
of the best textbooks of crystallography and mineralogy
ever published. In printing sequence this work would be
considered a sixth edition of William Phillips' introduction
to Mineralogy (1st ed., London, 1816). Written as it
was, however, a quarter century after Phillips death,
with thorough revision and updating, this work quite
appropiately has been known ever since its publication as
"Brooke ic Miller." In the preface, Brooke writes that his
contribution to the work was in supplying "such specimens
and crystals as it appeared desireable again to examine
and measure. In every other respect the treatise has been
composed and arranged entirely by Professor Miller."
The volume begins with an introduction to the
science, the first significant portion of which is devoted
to crystallography. The system adopted is essentially the
same as that Miller first presented in his earlier A Treatise
on Crystallography (Cambridge, 1839). The names adopted
for the six systems of crysallization are cubic, pyramidal,
rhombohedral, prismatic, oblique, and anorthic. Figures
are given in the descriptive mineralogy, illustrating the
crystallization of the species. The crystallographic notation
employed are the Indices of Miller. Other sections of the
introduction describe the optical, physical and chemical
properties of minerals. The descriptive mineralogy based
upon chemical makeup then follows. Species are listed
with notes about their common synonyms, their known
crystal forms, their chemistry following RAMMELSBERG's
analyses, their optical characters including refraction and
polarization and other phyical properties. An appendix
lists minerals which are not fully described or of doubtful
composition. The work closes with an index to the species
listed.

Rare. Auction sale catalog of Phillip's large
mineral collection, of which many specimens were used
to illustrate Phillips textbooks on mineralogy. The text
of the catalog follows the physical arrangement of the
collection by briefly describing the specimens contained
in each of the 100 drawers of the cabinet, together
with locality information. The cabinet was arranged
according to the last edition of Phillips' MineraJogy
(London, 1823), and consist of a total of about 1,000
selected specimens, that embrace nearly all of the
mineral species then known, as well as many of the
varieties. Although heavy on specimens from English
localities, the remainder of the world is well represented
in this cabinet of minerals.
This large mineral collection was sold in its
entirety at auction to Dr. John Rutter of Liverpool.
Rutter apparently added a few other specimens, and
bequeathed it to the Medical Institution of Liverpool.
Subsequently, the collection was transferred in 1887
to the Liverpool Museum. There it was completely
destroyed during the Second World War in the bombing
raids of May 1941, and so this rare sale catalog is the
only lasting record of Phillips mineral collection.

VERY SCARCE. An elaborate collection of voyage
accounts, containing details of virtually every major
voyage to date, often for the first time in English.
"Of great value for its texts" (Hill), Pinkerton's
General Collection also contains one of the earliest
bibliographies on Australasia and the Pacific. This
255-page catalogue found in volume 17 lists voyages by
geographical location, and includes sections on world
voyages, Australasia, New Holland, and Polynesia;
followed by a detailed analytical index, certainly one
of the most ambitious ever attempted, comprising in
its 472 pages everything from Aa to Zwellendam.The
author's summary in the same volume discusses the
achievements of Cook from a contemporary perspective:
"The Voyages of Cook may therefore be regarded as
forming an illustrious epoch., the old catalogues of
pictures and statues, with trifling adventures by sea
and land, which were called books of travels, have sunk
into obscurity before the new and important works" .
Pinkerton concludes his remarks on Cook with the note
that "..an English colony was sent to Australia, which
will infallibly diffuse illuminations over that remote
quarter of the world" (p. i).

PISANI DE SERRES, Felix. (BORN: Constantinople,
Turkey, 28 April 1831; DIED: Rue de Furstenberg,
France, 7 November 1920) French chemist, mineral
dealer & writer.
Pisani's father was in the Russian diplomatic service.
His mother was daughter of Félix de Serres, professor of
chemistry at Clermont-Ferrand. In 1854, he entered into
C.F. Gerhardt's private school of chemistry in Paris, which,
when Gerhardt was appointed to Strasbourg in 1855,
passed into the hands of Emil Kopp, and later to Pisani
himself. Later, the laboratory was removed to Rue de
Furstenberg, where in addition to teaching private classes
in chemistry and various consulting work, Pisani carried
on an active business dealing in minerals and geological
specimens. As early as 1869, he sold specimens to the
British Museum. His laboratory was a natural meeting
place for Parisian mineralogists before the founding of the
French Mineralogical Society in 1878. His principal work
was in the chemical analysis of minerals. The species
"Pisanite" was named after him in 1860.

PISO (Pies), Willem. (BORN: Leiden, The Nether-
lands, 1611; DIED: Amsterdam, The Netherlands,
November 1678) Dutch physician.
Piso was educated at the Universities of Leiden and
Caen, from which he received his M.D. in 1633. He then
established a medical practice in Amsterdam. In 1637
Piso was sent by the Dutch West Indian Company to be
the physician to Johan Maurits of Nassau, the governor of
the colony in Brasil, and physician to the colony. During
his extended stay, in conjunction with Markgraf, he wrote
the Historia Naturalis Brasilioe, a compendium of tropical
medicine, pharmacology (including the introduction of a
Brasilian root into European use), and natural history. He
returned to the Netherlands in 1644. By 1648 Piso had
settled in Amsterdam, and there he established a medical
practice.

VERY SCARCE. Co-authored by Georg Markgraf
[see note below] and edited by JOANNIS DE Laet.
The Historia Natvralis Brasiliae is a pioneer work
on tropical medicine and the first illustrated natural
history of Brazil. It remained until the publication of
the great expeditions of the nineteenth century, the only
illustrated work describing Brazilian natural history.
Typical of the time, it is a sumptuous publication from
the famous Dutch publisher Elzevir, and it is one of the
beautiful Dutch works on Braziliana.
The work is divided into two parts: the first
by Piso (pp. 1-122) provides an important account of
Brazilian medicine, on page 35 giving the first account
of separating yaws from syphilis. The second portion
(pp. 1-293) is devoted to Markgraf's natural history
studies and studies of astronomy performed at an
observatory built by Nassau in his palace in Recife. It is
divided into eight books: (1-3) on plants, (4), fish, (5)
birds, (6) quadrupeds, (7) insects and (8) a valuable
description of the North-eastern region of Brazil and
its inhabitants. This last section was written by Laet
and is a valuable ethnographic study. Although only

Georg Markgraf (Marcgraf, Marcgrave). (BORN:
Liebstadt, Meissen, Germany, 20 September 1610: DIED:
San Paolo de Luanda, Angola, Africa, August 1644)
German naturalist & traveler. Markgraf matriculated at
Leiden University in 1636. Between 1638 and 1644, he took
part in a military and exploratory expedition to the Dutch
settlements in Brazil under the leadership of Count Maurice
of Nassau. During this expedition he explored the natural
history of the region thoroughly, including zoology, botany,
astronomy, cartography and meteorology. He assembled
collections of plants and animals. The dried plants are
still preserved in the Botanical Museum, Copenhagen. He
also made extensive notes and drawings of the things he
encountered which were used by Лап de Lact, to illustrate
the Historiée Natvralis Brasilias (1648). On his return
from Brazil he stopped to explore Africa, but succumbed
to a tropical fever there.

PLATT, Hugh, Sir. (Born: 1552; Died: c1611)
English agricultural writer.
Platt matriculated at St. John's College, Cambridge
in 1568 and received his degree in 1571-2. He turned
his attention to natural science, practical invention and
agriculture. He wrote several works, mostly regarding
agriculture, that went through numerous editions.

SCARCE. Piatt's first book and shows his extensive
knowledge of practical agriculture matters. Thetreatise
includes a compendium of 150 recipes, experiments
and inventions. It was one of Piatt's most popular
works having been previously published in 1594 (first
edition). It is, however, Arnold de Boate's [see note
below] Discourse on Minerals, Stones, Gums and Rosins
(pp. 217-232) that is of interest to the mineralogist.
Arnold de Boate. (BORN: Gorcum, The Netherlands,
1600?; DIED: Paris, France?, 1653?) Dutch physician,
hebraist & writer. Brother of GERARD BOATE. Boate
received his M.D. from Leyden. He emmigrated to Ireland
and opened a medical practice in Dublin. He became
phsician-general of English forces in Ireland. He studied
Hebrew rabbinical writings. Eventually, he relocated to
Paris.

PLATTES, Gabriel. (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.

VERY SCARCE. This is the first practical guide
in English on identifying economic minerals and
metallurgy. It is an interesting treatise, containing
a wealth of factual information, illustrated by the
author's own experiments. Mention is made of the
gold and silver mines in New England, Virginia and
the Bermudas, as well as other parts of America.
Besides providing details of the procedures of assaying,
the author gives a recipe by which he claims to have
produced pure gold at a cost, however, greater than the
value obtained. An entire chapter discusses all kinds of
vegetable dyes. A second edition of this work appeared
in the same year 1639 under the title: A Discovery of
Inñnite Treasure.

VERY SCARCE. This is the first appearance of an
important and fundamental book that is a culmination
of all the knowledge in the field of blowpipe analysis
applied to minerals. In unprecedented detail Plattner
describes his experiments and tests in extraordinary and
complete detail, arranging the whole by element. Thus
he created a masterwork that is generally regarded as
the best work authored on the subject. It was updated
regularly going through eight editions until 1928 and
was translated into other languages. In later editions
it was revised and enlarged by Theodore Richter and
Friedrich Kolbeck.

Plinius Secundus
PLINIUS SECUNDUS (Pliny), Gaius. (Born:
Novum Comum (now Como), Italy, c23 a.D.; DIED: Near
Pompeii, Italy, 24 August 79 A.D.) Italian naturalist,
writer & encyclopedist.
One of the foremost authorities on science in ancient
Europe, Pliny was educated in Rome, and for some years
he followed a military career. After serving in the army, he
studied jurisprudence, but retired c57 A.D. to devote himself
to scholarly study and writing. Pliny wrote many historical
and scientific works, including De Laculatione Equestri,
Studiosus. Duhius Sermo, a 20-book history of the Germanic
Wars, and 31 books of Roman history covering 41 to 71 A.D.
Pliny's great encyclopedia of nature and art in 37 books,
the Historia Naturalis, is the only one of his works that has
been preserved. The first ten books were published in 77
A.D. and the remainder after his death, edited probably by
his nephew, Pliny the Younger. In 79 A.D., eager to examine
more closely the great eruption of Mount Vesuvius that
overwhelmed and destroyed Herculaneum and Pompeii, he
sailed across the bay of Naples to Stabiae, where he was
suffocated by the vapors from the eruption.

Editio PRINCEPS. Very rare. Printed by Joannes
de Spira [see note below], the whole edition of this book
is thought to be limited to one hundred copies. This
is the first printed book dealing with natural history,
being an encyclopaedia of the ancient world covering
many subjects. It was revered for over fifteen centuries
and became one of the most influential books ever
written.
Gasius Plinius Secundus (commonly called Pliny)
was a very learned man of his times, and certainly one
of its greatest readers. A most industrious compiler,
he states in the preface to his Historia that the work
contains over 20,000 facts culled from some 200 books
and over 100 selected authors. Actually there are 473
authors mentioned: 146 Roman and 327 Greek. Thus,
while he uses Aristotle as his principle authority, he
accumulated information from sources as he uncovered
them, and but for his diligence, a vast amount of
material preserved in the Historia would have been lost
to the world.
The Historia Naturalis is the only work of the 132
attributed to Pliny to have survived to modern times.
It was held in high esteem throughout its existence
as manuscripts and for many centuries after its first
appearance in print. It is one of the most precious
monuments to have traveled from ancient times,
providing proof of astonishing amount of erudition on
the part of the old Romans.
Pliny's greatest fault was his uncritical nature as
a compiler of facts. Therefore, included in his text
is an incredible amount of data, often of improbable
character, that if it had been omitted would have made
a better text. But a careful reading of the this work will
reveal a vast amount of natural history data common
to us now and presumed to be of modern discovery
in actuality was recorded first by Pliny. Also, respect
must be paid to the frequent use of reference citation
splattered throughout the tomes.
The first ten books of Pliny's great work were
probably shaped about 77 a.D. During the next two
years, the remainder of the text was being revised and
edited, and was left unfinished at the time of Pliny's
tragic death during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
It is probable that some material was added when
the author's nephew and literary executor, Pliny the
Younger [see note below], completed the great work
and made it available to the world. Pliny's early death
may account to some extent for the somewhat inchoate
condition of the Historia.
The Historiae Naturalis is a vast, comprehensive
work divided into 37 books (or sections) that may
be considered the first encyclopedia of knowledge.
Scientific subjects include astronomy, chemistry,
geology, mineralogy, botany, husbandry, zoology,
geography, anthropology, ethnology, and much on the
history and practice of medicine and art. It was a
common source from which early writers of science
drew examples, and it presents in the final four books
the ancient Roman view of minerals and geological
processes.

Plinius Secundus: Latin editions
In his preface to the Natural History, Pliny claims
rightly that the enterprise is a novel one. There had
been other encyclopedias — for example, of the liberal
arts — but, as he says (preface, sec. 14), no Greek
by himself had compiled an encyclopedia of the whole
of nature; and no Roman had done so by himself or
with others. The novelty of the task was one of its
attractions. Among others were Pliny's inexhaustible
curiosity, and his conviction that he must be of service.
"It is godlike," he writes (bk. 2, sec. 18), "for man to
help man" — his anxiety to save the science of past ages
from the forgetful indifference of the present, and his
desire to make his reputation secure. The result was
aptly described by Pliny the Younger as "a diffuse and
learned work, no less rich in variety than nature itself
(III. 5. 6).
The preface addressed to Titus is followed by
a novelty, in that book 1 consists of an index of
topics and authorities for each of the succeeding thirty-
six books. The general plan of the treatise itself is
conventional, proceeding from the world to the earth,
and from the earth to its products — animal, vegetable,
and mineral. But this simple outline is blurred. Book
2 duly surveys the universe, ending with the earth
conceived as its center and with terrestrial phenomena.
It is followed by books 3-6 (geography), 7 (man), 8-
11 (other animals), 12-19 (botany), and 20-27 (materia
medica from botanical sources). These last eight
books are complemented by 28-32 (materia medica
from animal sources); books 33-37 concern metals and
stones, including their uses in medicine, architecture,
and especially art.
Yet merely as a compilation of facts the Natural
History is unique. Comprehensiveness is all: "Things
must be recorded because they have been recorded,"
remarks Pliny (bk 2, sec. 85); and criticism will not
deter him. In book 37 (sees. 30-6), through his
own knowledge and observation Pliny gives an almost
entirely correct account of the nature and provenance
of amber, but not before he has related all the myths
and speculations about it that have come to his notice.
Still, this uncritical and all-inclusive method" has its
advantages. A nonsensical reference to Indian amber
may be an indication that shellac was known Pliny
would have felt that knowledge preserved even in this
way justified the means. Although such diffuseness
interfered with the practical aims of the work, Pliny's
influence in the succeeding centuries was nevertheless
great and abridgments were made, especially of his
medical and geographical material.
Pliny the Younger. (BORN: Novum Comum (now
Como), Italy, 61 or 62 A.D.; DIED: Rome, Italy?, 113 A.D.)
Italian bureaucrat & writer. Pliny (full Latin name, Gaius
Plinius Caecilus Secundus) was was a nephew of Pliny
the Elder, by whom he was adopted and whose name he
took in 79. His name was originally Publius Caecilius
Secundus. He studied in Rome under the famous teacher
and rhetorician Quintilian, and he was distinguished both
for his literary accomplishments and for his oratorical
ability. He held numerous official appointments. As a
young man he served as military tribune in Syria, where
he frequented the schools of the Stoics. Pliny was quaestor
Caesaris at the age of 25, then praetor, and then consul in
100, in which year he wrote the Panegyricus, a eulogy of
the emperor Trajan. About 111 he was appointed governor
of the province of Bithynia, where he remained about two
years. Whether his death occurred in Bithynia or soon
after in Rome is not known. He was married three times,
but died childless.
Besides completing his uncle's Historia Naturalis,
Pliny himself collected and published nine books of
Epistulae (Letters), and a tenth book, containing his
official correspondence as governor of Bithynia with the
emperor Trajan, was published after his death. To these
letters Pliny owes his place in literature as one of the
masters of the epistolary style. The private letters, most
of which were undoubtedly written or revised with a
view to publication, give a valuable picture of the life of
the writer and of his friends and contemporaries. Pliny
himself appears in the letters as a genial philanthropist,
devoted to literary pursuits and to improving his estates
by architectural adornment. The most interesting letters
include two to his friend the historian Publius Cornelius
Tacitus on the eruption of Vesuvius; one describing in detail
his villa at Laurentum; one relating the story of a haunted
house in Athens; and one, to the Roman emperor Trajan,
concerning the policy against the Christians.
Joannes de Spira. (BORN: ; DIED: Venice,
Italy, 1470) German printer. Spira was a native of Speyer
(capital of the Bavarian palatinate), which is located on
the Rhein. Early in 1460-61 Johann appears in Mainz as
a "goldsmith," and it is known that he learned the art
of printing in Gutenburg's shop there. The decline of the
city after the sack of 1462 probably caused him to take
his wife, children and brother Wendelin and relocate to
Venice. In 1469, together with his brother, he printed
the first book in Venice, Cicero's Epistolae ad Familiares.
After successfully publishing several works, on September
18, 1469, Spira was granted by the Signoria a patent to
allow hirn to be the only printer in Venice for a period of five
years. His monopoly was cut short in 1470, however, when
Spira unexpectedly died. Afterwards, Wendelin assumed
control of the business and carried it on successfully until
1477. During the period 1470 to 1477 the firm issued over
seventy great works of Italian and Roman classics, as well
as religious publications.

RARE. Edited by Joannes Andreae de Buxiis (Bussi)
[1417—1475], Bishop of Aleria, who records in his prefatory
letter that Theodorus Gaza assisted him in editing. This
edition was printed by Conrad Sweynheym and Arnold
Pannartz [see notes below]. It is the earliest book they
printed in 1470 as is shown by its position in a later list
of the printer's works and it being the last of their books
where the headings were left to the rubricator instead of
being printed (BMC).
Although the colophon indicates this edition to have
been printed in 300 copies, this edition appears to be
rarer than both the preceding and succeeding editions.
It appeared a few months after the first edition printed
by Johannes de Spira in Venice in 1469 and the preface
implies that the editors were unaware of the existence of
the earlier edition, which was printed from a different and
more corrupt manuscript. The colophon to the 1469 de
Spira edition states the press run to be 100 copies. While
the well-known 1472 Jenson edition was printed in over
1,000 copies, a large number for the time, but this second
edition of 1470 is considerably harder to locate than either
of those other books.
Conrad Sweynheim. (BORN: Schwanheim, Frankfort,
Germany, ; DIED: Rome, Italy, 1477) German printer.
and Arnold Pannartz (BORN: Cologne, Germany?; DIED:
Rome, Italy, ca. 1476) German printers who learned the
art in Gutenberg's shop in Mainz. However, a religious war
between two archbishops led to the expulsion from the city
in 1462 of the tradesmen, including printers, who supported
the loser. This inadvertently created a diaspora of printers
throughout Europe and hastened the spread of the art.
Sweynheim and Pannartz were among the expatriates and
the first to establish printing in Italy. At the invitation
of Cardinal John Turrecremata they set up shop in 1464 in
the Abbey of Subiaco; however, they moved to Rome late in
1467 and continued their partnership until 1472. Between
1464 and 1472 they issued over 12,000 copies of thirty-seven
works, these being chiefly the classics and religious tomes.
Being an engraver, Sweynheim was probably the die-cutter,
the type-founder and the typesetter, while Pannartz was
in charge of the actual printing and the business connected
with it.
After their partnership was dissolved, Sweynheim
worked until his death as an engraver of the maps of
the Cosmography of Ptolemy. He was the first to apply
copper engraving techniques to the production of maps,
and twenty-seven of the beautifully executed plates are his
work in the 1478 edition of the Cosmography.

VERY SCARCE. Printed by Nicolas Jenson [see note
below] and edited by Joannes Andreae de Buxiis (Bussi)
[1417-1475], Bishop of Aleria.
Nicolas Jenson. (BORN: cl420; DIED: Venice, Italy,
1480) French printer. About 1458 Jenson was sent by
King Charles VII of France to Germany to learn the
new art of printing. However, after his patron died,
instead of returning to France, he moved to Venice. There
he established a successful printing business, which is
renowned even today for the beautiful typography of the
works produced. Jenson's Roman types, based upon
the Humanist calligraphy of the time and place, were
extremely successful. They mark a departure from the
dense calligraphic style then dominant in Europe, and are,
in fact, the direct source of the letters now in general use.
For his work, Jenson was honored in 1475 by Pope Sixtus
IV with a Court Palatine.

RARE. Edited by Filippo Beroaldo and printed by
Andreas Portilia [see note below]. Portilia appears to
have printed this book by subscription, at any rate in
part, since on the 5 November, 1479, he signed at Reggio
documents binding him to supply during the following
February copies of the Pliny at one ducat apiece to
more that a dozen persons in the city (V. Ferrari, Lo
stampatore Andrea Portilia a Reggio riel 1479 (1924))
(BMC).
The corrections on N2v-N3v are those of
Beroaldus contained in his letter to Ravacaldus (first
printed in Corallus' 1476 edition), the personal matter
at the beginning and end of the letter being here
omitted (BMC).
Andreas Portilia. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German
printer. Italian printer. Portilia's first book is dated from
Parma on the 23 September 1472. By March, 1473 he had
a setup a press in Bologna. He does not reappear in Parma
until the spring of 1478, but then continued to print there
until April 1482.

VERY SCARCE. Edited by Nicolas Bérauld [see
note below]. This is the only book in which Bérauld's
name occurs as publisher, and it is also one of the first
books to be printed for the first of the Chaudières,
who in 1514 started as a bookseller. The printer Jean
Barbier (als called Tonsor, Passet) was originally with
Julian Notary and J.Huvin at London (ca. 1496) and in
1498 he printed at Westminster together with Notary
a missal for Wynkyn de Worde (Proctor 9742). In
1502 he established his print shop in Paris. He died
while at work on the present book, the business being
continued by Bérauld who married Barbier's widow.
Therefore Barbier's address "sub signo ensis" figures
here as Bérauld's press.
Nicolaus Bérauld (Beraldus Aurelius). (BORN: Orleans,
France, 1473; DIED: 1550) French philosopher & scholar.
Bérauld was a friend of Erasmus, and numbered among
his proteges D'Andelot and Admiral de Coligny. In 1521,
he published a Greek/Latin Dictionary, and in 1516 a
translation of Pliny.

Canner, J. Vadianus, B. Chelidonius and G. Germanius.
The Register, which appears here with its own title-
page, is by Johann Camers. The dedicatory letter
to Emperor Maximilian is by the German humanist,
Jacob Spiegel (ca. 1483-1547), and dated July 1518.
Spiegel was a friend of Erasmus, Luther, Melanchthon
and Hütten (see Contemporaries of Erasmus 3, pp. 270-
272).
Curious and indefatigable, Pliny recorded the
science of Rome at its zenith. His duties as soldier,
lawyer, and governor of provinces afforded much time
for travel and observation. His Historia Naturalis in
37 books is written in the form of an encyclopedia.
It describes the natural sciences including geography,
anthropology, botany, zoology, medicine, mineralogy
and the arts. Pliny was a martyr to his curiosity in
trying to observe the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
and found himself a bit too near the volcano. (Dibner)

SCARCE. Edited by Desiderius Erasmus and
printed by Johann Froben [see notes below].
Desiderius Erasmus. (BORN: Rotterdam, The
Netherlands, 28 October 1466; DIED: Basel, Switzerland,
12 July 1536) Dutch humanist & theologian. Erasmus,
was born the illegitimate son of a physician's daughter
by a man who afterwards turned monk. He was called
Gerrit Gerritszoon (Dutch for Gerard Gerardson) but later
adopted the tautological double name by which he is
known. He attended the school of the "Brothers of the
Common Life" at Deventer. On his parents' death his
guardians insisted on his entering a monastery and in the
Augustinian college of Stein near Gouda he spent six years
— it was certainly this personal experience of the ways of the
monks that made Erasmus their relentless enemy. At length
the Bishop of Cambrai made him his private secretary.
After taking priest's orders Erasmus went to Paris, where

he studied at the College Montaigu. He resided in Paris
until 1498, gaining a livelihood by teaching. Among his
pupils was Lord Mountjoy, on whose invitation probably
Erasmus made his first visit to England in 1498. He lived
chiefly at Oxford, and through the influence of John Colet
his contempt for the Schoolmen was intensified.
In 1500 he was again in France, and for the next six
years lived chiefly at Paris. In 1506 he made a short visit
to England, carried out a long-desired journey to Italy, and
at Padua acted as tutor to Alexander, Archbishop of St.
Andrews, natural son of James IV of Scotland. His visit
closed with a short stay in Rome, whence he carried away
a far more friendly impression than did Luther when he
made his visit.
The accession of Henry VIII, and the invitation
of Lord Mountjoy, induced Erasmus once more to make
England his home. In his satire, Encomium Moriae (1509),
we have him in his happiest vein, as the man of letters
and the critic of kings and churchmen. Erasmus resided
chiefly at Cambridge, where he acted as Margaret professor
of Divinity and professor of Greek. After 1514 he lived
alternatively in Basel and England, and from 1517 to 1521
at Louvain.
In 1516 was published his annotated New Testament,
virtually the first Greek text, and in 1519 his edition on St.
Jerome in nine folio volumes. In both of these works the
aim of Erasmus was to introduce a more rational conception
of Christian doctrine, and to emancipate men's minds
from the frivolous and pedantic methods of the Scholastic
theologians. But when the Lutheran revolution came he
found himself in the most embarrassing position. Those
of the old order fell upon him as the author of all the new
troubles. The Lutherans assailed him for his cowardice and
inconsistency in refusing to follow up his opinions to their
legitimate conclusions. In 1519 appeared the first edition
of his Colloquia, usually regarded as his masterpiece. The
audacity and incisiveness with which it handles the abuses
of the Church prepared men's minds for the subsequent
work of Martin Luther. In 1521 he left Louvain, where the
champions of the old faith had made his stay unendurable
and with the exception of six years in Freiburg, he spent
the rest of his life at Basel.
He edited a long succession of classical and patristic
writers, and was engaged in continual controversies. The
most important of these were with Ulrich von Hütten,
Luther, and the Sorbonne, Hütten judged Erasmus harshly
for not taking his place by the side of Luther; and with
Luther himself Erasmus, after long hesitation, crossed
swords in his De Libero Arbitrio (1523). Attacked by men
like Hütten on the one side, he was as fiercely assailed
on the other by the Sorbonne. By his Ciceroniansus he
raised against himself new adversaries — those humanists,
namely, who set style above matter. Yet during his last
years Erasmus enjoyed great fame and consideration.
Johann Froben. (BORN: Hammelburg in Franken,
Germany, 1460; DIED: Basel, Basel-Stadt, Switzerland,
25 October 1527) German printer. Froben had his early
education from the grammar school of his home town. By
1486 he was working in the print shop of Anton Koberger
in Nuremberg. This business with 24 presses and over
100 employees was .nie .if the largest printing enterprises
of its time. By November, 1490 Froben had relocated
to Basel, Switzerland and obtained a printing franchise
there. He became very successful. About 1513, Froben
persuaded the noted Biblical scholar Desiderius Erasmus
of Rotterdam to come to Basel to prepare a Greek New
Testament edition. Using manuscripts from the library at
Basel University, the two men produced their Greek text
in 1516. It became known as the textus receptus (Latin
for received text). This was the book that was used as a
basic guide for the translators of the King James Version.
Erasmus continued to work with Froben, editing many of
his publications and contributing to the fame of Froben's
press for printing scholarly texts. Froben also employed the
then unknown Hans Holbein as book designer.

Jacques Dalechamps. (BORN: Caen, France, 1513;
DIED: Lyons, France, 1588) French physician & botanist.
Dalechamps was a well- learned botanist. In 1552, he settled
at Lyons, where he opened a successful medical practice.
He formed a project to unite in a single work all previous
acquistions in botanical science, and after expending thirty
years on it, left the completion of it to Desmoulins. The
finished product was a "General History of Plants" (Paris,
1586), a work of great merit containing 2731 figures. He
also published several medical treatises.
Justus Lipsius. (BORN: Isque, near Brussels, Belgium,
1547; DIED: Louvain, France, 1606) Belgian scholar, critic &
philologist. Lipsius was educated in Brussels and Louvain.
At the age of 19 he wrote Varice Lectiones (1565), which
was favorably received. In 1572, he was appointed professor
of history at the University of Jena, and from 1579 to
1592 he occupied a similar chair at Leyden. Around 1590

Adrien Turnèbe. (BORN: Les Andelys, Normandy,
France, 1512; DIED: Paris, France, 12 June 1565) French
classical scholar. At the age of 12, Turnebe went to Paris
and attracted attention by his great abilities. After holding
a post of professor of belles-lettres in the University of
Toulouse, he returned to Paris 1547 as professor of Greek
at the Collège Royale. In 1552, he was intrusted with the
printing of the Greek books at the royal press. His works
chiefly consisted of commentaries and translations of Greek
and Latin authors.

Unillustrated edition of Pliny the Elder's classic
encyclopedia of the knowlegde of the ancient world, of
which the edito princeps was published in Venice in 1469:
'It comprises thirty-seven books dealing with mathematics
and physics, geography and astronomy, medicine and
zoology, anthropology and physiology, philosophy and
history, agriculture and mineralogy, the arts and letters.'
[Printing and the Mind of Man, nr. 5]. Although Pliny
gained little interest as a literary author, his Historiae
mundis was appreciated highly as the earliest known book
on natural history. This edition was edited by Iacob

Jean Hardouin. (BORN: Quirnper, Brittany, France,
1646; DIED: Paris, France, 3 September 1729) French jesuit
& classical scholar. Hardouin acquired an early taste for
literature from his father's bookshop. On his 16th birthday
he was admitted into the Jesuits. He was sent to Paris to
study theology. In 1683, he was appointed librarian of the
College Louis le Grand. On the advice of Jean Gamier
[1612-1681] he edited Pliny for the Delphin series, a task
that required five years to complete. He wrote extensively
on numismatics.

Historia Naturale, 1476
RARE. First appearance of the translation by
Christoforo Landino [see note below] from Historia Naturalis
(3rd ed., Venice, 1472). Landino exectued this translation
on the order of Ferdinand I of Aragon.
During the decade that the Frenchman Nicolaus
Jenson (cl420-after 1482) was printing in Venice he
produced what are commonly regarded as the most
beautiful books of the incunable (pre-1500) period. Jenson
has been described as the first non-German printer we
know. His "antiqua" roman type was modelled on the hand
favored by the Renaissance humanists who emphasized the
study of ancient Latin texts. Jenson's version of antiqua
roman type, however, shows some development beyond the
sheer i mitation of handwriting evident in the versions used
by other printers. Jenson's own work continues to inspire
imitation: the Oxford Lectern Bible on display in the rear
gallery uses a 20th century adaptation of Jenson's type by
Bruce Rogers, as do the texts (like this one) which describe
this exhibit. This Italian translation of Pliny was published
in a rather large edition of 1025 copies.
Christoforo Landino. (BORN: Florence, Italy, 1424;
DIED: Florence, Italy, 1504) Italian humanist philosopher and
Latin poet. Landino professor of rhetoric and poetry at the
Academy founded in Florence by his sovereign and is best
known for his commentaries on Horace and Dante. He was
a protege of Cosimo de' Medici, educating his sons, and
enjoyed a well-deserved fame in Renaissance Italy.

VERY SCARCE. Second issue of the first English
translation, translated by Philemon Holland [see note
below]. Pliny's Historie of the World is an encyclopedia
of all the knowledge of the ancient world. It is the only
work that has survived to the present day of the 132
written by this prolific author and seeker of knowledge
who lost his life exploring the eruption of Vesuvius
in 79 a.D. The Histoire treats mathematics, physics,
geography, astronomy, medicine, zoology, anthropology,
physiology, philosophy, history, agriculture, mineralogy,
arts and letters. The work which was handed
down through many manuscripts and over 500 printed
editions (1st, Venice, 1469) exserted a incalculable
influence on Western culture. Plane was an accumulator
of facts and these he faithfully recorded without critical
comment or skeptical judgment and thus the believes
of the ancients were propagated forward to the present
day.

PLOT, Robert. (BORN: Sutton-Barne, England, 13
December 1640; DlED: Borden, Kent, England, 30 April
1696) English antiquarian.
Plot was a gentleman of property in Kent. He studied
at Oxford, receiving a degree in 1671. He developed
an interest in the natural sciences, and he became
an omnivorous gatherer of specimens and observations
in the Baconian tradition. . In 1683, he was
appointed the 'custos' of the Ashmolean Museum and
professor of chemistry at the University of Oxford. He
became historiographer royal in 1688 and Mowbray herald
extraordinary in 1695. Plot was secretary of the Royal
Society from 1682 to 1684 and again in 1692.

VERY SCARCE. The classic Baconian "Natural
History" , a systematic gathering of information and
observations on the flora, fauna, geology, paleontology
and intellectual history of Oxfordshire. Plot's botanical
descriptions have been highly praised, and he had some
notion of stratigraphy and described and illustrates
a variety of fossils (and some minerals), including a
large fossil quadruped bones. He also gives a detailed
account of Oxford science, arguing in some detail that
Roger Bacon was the true inventor of the telescope,
and reviewing the inventions and discoveries of Wilkins,
Wallis, Boyle, Hooke, Halley, and others. On the
strength of this book, Plot was elected a Fellow of the
Royal Society.
The History of Oxfordshire is a very interesting
work, full of queer old-world information, quaint
digressions, and pleasant meandering, winding gently
on each side of the main discourse. It contains a map of
Oxfordshire curiously bordered round with the arms of
the resident nobility and gentry, and each of its excellent
plates of illustrations bears a dedication in the corner
to some noble patron, with the emblazonment of his
arms.
Dr. Plot was evidently acquainted with the views
of Steno, but he did not share them; on the contrary,
he met them with a strenuous Opposition, in which
he displayed great resources of learning and dialectic
skill. A whole chapter of the History is devoted to the
description of the Fossils, or, as they are there termed,
the "Formed Stones" of the county. It is illustrated
by engravings which, for truthfulness, leave little to be
desired, so that, even at this distance of time, there
is little difficulty in recognizing and identifying the
different genera or even species that they represent.
The stones to which Dr. Plot first directs
attention are those that stand in some connection with
the heavenly bodies, such as the Sun-stone, of which,
however, there are none in Oxfordshire; the Moon-
stone, or Selenites; the Asteriae, or Star-stones, which
are evidently the joints of the stem of a fossil, now called
Etracrius briareus; the Astroites, bodies of irregular
form, but adorned with constellations of stars; these
are clearly corals, such as are now named Isastrea and
Thallluastrea; and final]y such stones as are supposed,
" by the t ligar at least," to be generated in the Clo eds
and discharged thence in the times of Thu lder and
viole It Shoccers" ; such are Belemnites, and 1 ronti e
Ornbrite; in the two latter we now recognize several
kinds of Sea-urchins. The author shell passes to " The
Stones that concern the Watery Kirigdo it " ; some of
these are spars or minerals; others are true fossils such
as a " Strombites," which is compared to the living
" Concha Tridacna," so called, the author quaintly
observes, " because they made three Mouthfuls apiece,"
and he ingenuously adds that were "the Strombites not
a Stone I must pronounceit the Same," i.e., as the living
Tri lacna. A " Conchites " of the kind we now term "
Rhynchonella" is il troduced to us, and in a digression
we are informed that specimens of this "made red-hot
and put into drink are accounted a present Remedy for
a Stitch."
Plot did not believe in the organic nature of
fossils. In the first place, Plot clearly perceived that
the admission of the organic nature of fossils brought
with it a whole train of perplexing consequences. To
avoid these, he preferred an appeal to crystallization,
as raising ultimately fewer difficulties. Other branches
of science were not at that time sufficiently advanced to
show the baselessness of this explanation; the subject
was a difficult one, many additional observations w
ere needed, and the mind of Plot was eminently
critical. When we survey the vast superstructure that
modern science has raised on the foundation prepared
by Steno, i.e., on the organic nature of fossils, and the
superposition of stratified rocks, none but an impatient
mind will feel other than grateful to Plot for having
subjected these fundamental principles to the severest
examination, for having spared no argument which
could possibly be brought against them. Next to
suggestive generalization, science stands in need of
honest criticism. (Geology required a proponent, and
she found him in Steno, but she also required a critic,

VERY SCARCE. Plot wanted to write a natural
history of all England and Wales, but focused on the
counties of Oxford and Staffordshire. This work on
Staffordshire is considered the better of the two. The
double-page engraved plates show the important, great
houses of the county during the time of William and
Mary, along with views of the surrounding landscape
gardens. There is much information on chemistry,
mining, mineralogy, and related subjects. Plot quotes
from many writers including Boyle, Hooke, Helmont,
Cardan, and Agrícola. This copy lacks the "Armes
Omitted" plate, which is almost never present, but
includes the proposal and list of subscribers, usually
missing. Among the subscribers are Ashmole, Robert
Boyle, Kenelm Digby, John Evelyn, Nehemian Grew,
Martin Lister, and Christopher Wren.

Pluche
PLUCHE, Noël Antoine. (BORN: Rheims, France, 13
November 1688; DIED: Rheims, France, 19 November
1761) French naturalist.
Pluche was a professor first of humanities, then
of rhetoric in his hometown of Rheims, before taking
holy orders. He became notorious for refusing to swear
adherence to the bull Unigenitus (1713). His major work,
Spectacle de la Nature, was a study of life and creation
that was translated into virtually all European languages,
still appearing in abridged editions in the early nineteenth
century.

VERY SCARCE. Pluche's Spectacle looks at
philosophy, religion, and history through a scientific
lens. He presents polite dialogues on natural history
and human artifice among four fictional characters: a
knowledgeable Prior, an inquisitive Knight, a Count
and a Countess. The discussion tends toward the
discovery of good design in its exposition of natural
phenomena and of their usefulness for human industry.
The Prior states that God placed stone in the earth
expressly for human use in building. The ferocity of
wild animals is explained as an opportunity provided
by God for our training in arms against the depredation
of fellow humans. In another example, God's purpose
for burrowing worms was to provide commerce and

productivity for the Norwegians and Dutch: the
Norwegians manufacture pine tar and the Dutch apply
it to ship hulls in efforts to halt the worms divinely
commissioned devastation.
Pluche was important because his work proved
widely popular, passing through dozens of French
editions before 1800 and it was translated into Dutch,
German, Spanish, Italian and English translations. It
was the fourth most common work to be found in
private libraries between 1750-1780.
Pluches role in the history of science is, however,
is fairly complex. Even while he drew upon the
work of Newton, Musschenbroek, Galileo, Copernicus,
dGravesande, Nollet, Leeuwenhoek and other eminent
scientists, he was frequently skeptical of "gentlemen
who cant perceive the hand of the Almighty in any of
the works of nature." Many scholars argue that Pluches
devout approach, rather than making new scientific
advances truly intelligible to the public through the
medium of everyday language, succeeded rather in
diluting the scientific content. However, this criticism
by no means diminishes Pluches influence and success.

Plutarch spend time in Rome and other places in
the Roman empire, but returned to his birth city. He is
particularly remembered for his Lives that gives biographies
of the famous people of his era. However he authored about
80 other essays collected in his Moralia. A number of other
works on a wide range of subjects are also attributed to his
name but they are probably not genuine.

VERY RARE. A significant volume, published
with comments by the Languedocian scholar Philippe
Jacques de Maussac [1590-1650]. It brings together
three scientific and esoteric works for the first time: 1)
De Fluviorum et Montium Nominbus of Plutarch which
is here printed in its first Latin translation prepared
by Philippe Jacques de Maussac. 2) De Lapidum
Virtutibus of the mathematician and philosopher of
Constantinople, Michael Psellus [1020-1110], appears
here for the first time in a treatise on mineralogy and
hermetism. It is accompanied by the Latin translation
also given by Maussac and which appears here also in
its first edition. 3) Microcosmus seu Liber Cephale
Anatomicus de Proportione Utriusque Mundi by the
doctor of Nimes Jean Pistorius and had been published
previously in Lyon in 1606. It is a curious and
esoteric treatise which puts in parallel mankind and the
Universe. The compilation volume is seldom complete.
Brunet describes it with the following comment: "Not
a common edition. There are examples with a general
title announcing the treatise De Microcosmo of J.
Pistorius but with the treatise not present."
The first of these works, that entitled De
Fluviorum et Montium (Treatise on Rivers and
Mountains), has been attributed to Plutarch, who was
born about 46 C.E. and died at a very advanced age,
although the exact date of his death is not known.
It is included in some editions of Plutarch's collected
works, and omitted in others. lit is now generally agreed
that the treatise was not written by him but by some
unknown author who is generally referred to as either
"pseudo-Plutarch" or "Ct-Plutarch," and that it dates
from the first quarter of the third century. It is a strange
work and at first glance the reader is at a loss to know
whether he has before him a treatise on geography or
one on religion. Further examination, however, shows
it to be a magical and medical treatise, resembling the
Kyranides in many respects, and like these it is divided
into twenty-four chapters, the number corresponding
to that of the letters in the Greek alphabet. There
are twenty-four stones mentioned in this Treatise, some
of them, as for example beryl, asterites and sardonyx,
being well known, others are well-known stones which
here appear under new names.
Contents of the volume are the Ы -Plutarch's
Libellvs de Flvviorvm dt Montivm (pp. 1-96), followed
by the Liber De Fluminibus of Vibio Sequestre (pp.
97-126) and notes and commentary to both (pp. 127-
333). This work contains the first appearance of the
Libellus de Lapidum virtutibus oî Michèle Psello, which
is fully described under that author. After a separate
title page, introductory material by Gilberto Gualmino
(pp. 337-343) begins the Psello text, which has been
edited and translated by Philippe Jacob de Maussac.
This text appears on pages 345-357, set in two columns,
with the Greek (on the left) and Latin (to right). The
Psellos work is then followed by the Castigationes (pp.
358-361), and an appendix with notes by Arpocrazione
(pp. 361-375). The De Microcosmo of J. Pistorius that
sometimes accompany the book, but which is not always
present, has a separate title page and pagination of 60
pages.

In 1834, Poggendorff received his Ph.D. from the
University of Berlin and in 1844 he was awarded a
medical degree from the University of Königsberg. He was
appointed in 1834 extraordinary professor of physics and
chemistry at the University of Berlin, where his research
concentrated on problems in electricity and magnetism.
He is remembered today in the field of mechanics as the
inventor of the Poggendorff Scale. He founded in 1824 and
edited the important Annalen der Physik und Chemie.

VERY SCARCE, especially in complete sets. The
best bibliography of exact science in existence, not only
as containing many works that could only be traced
with difficulty in other bibliographies, but for giving
biographical particulars of many authors who could not
be found elsewhere, and including as a unique feature
an almost complete list of the scientific papers of the
various authors contributed to learned societies. For
these the first two volumes are specially important as
they contain papers published in the eighteenth century,
which cannot be traced elsewhere.
The work is of such value, that it is being
continued in the present day. Volumes cover the years,
the first 2 volumes listed ancient scientists to 1858, part
3 covers 1858 to 1883, part 4 covers 1884 to 1903, part
5 covers the years 1904 to 1922, part 6 covers 1923 to
1931, part 7a covers Germans 1932 to 1953, and part 7b
covers non-Germans, 1932 to 1962. An eighth volume
was completed by 2003 finishing off this remarkable
series.

SCARCE. This work, among the first to act as
a handbook to apothecary, contains chapters, each
with its own vingette, on sugar manufacturing, whale
hunting, extraction of whale oil, tobacco, unicorns,
mummies, coffee, tea, ostrich, etc. The third part
of 116 pages deals with the mineral substances used
in pharmacy with notes about their extraction and
preparation. Considered the better edition due to the
presence of the engraved portrait.
This was the only edition published during the
life of Pierre Pomet and it was the most important
illustrated book on medical plants and animals during
the 17th century. Garisson and Morton quote it as:
"The most complete Materia Medica of his time". It
was devided in 3 parts, the first dealing with plants, the
second with animals and the third with fossils, metals,
minerals and the index with appendix. There are 160
plants depicted amongst which tabacco and tea and
several of the "Caffe" plant and 28 animals ofwhich
one the famous double "portrait" of a Whale, called
here " Cachalot et Baleine Femelle" and 5 figures of the
" Unicorne or Licorne" and a famous one of " des Perles" .
The minerals are not illustrated.

the Dutchess' librarian. It describes her extensive
collections, mostly of specimens related to natural
history. Also included are descriptions of coins,
pictures, china, jewels, and the like. Upon her death,
and after distribution of part of her collection to her son,
the third Duke of Portland, and to others, this catalogue
of the remainder, 4,156 numbered lots, was prepared
for a sale to be held on 38 days between April 24th
and June 7th of 1786. In addition, the Duke decided
to sell some items from his portion of his mother's
collection, but these, the 107 lots of the 39th day's
sale, on June 8th, were not catalogued.! 1 ' 2 ] Offerings
consisted primarily of specimens of avian and marine
life and samples of minerals including many crystals,
and fossils ("petrifactions"). Among other items sold
were Hogarth prints, a prayer book and saltcellar
formerly in the possession of Elizabeth I, and the
Barberini vase, which the Duchess had obtained from
Sir William Hamilton and which later become known
as the Portland vase. The catalogue was a sophisticated
production in some ways, even offering a two— page
bibliography of scientific references. Lowndes (1857—64)
records that the complete sale realized .£11,546.

in the Freiberg mining district. In 1879, he traveled as
a surgeon to the Dutch East Indies, where he spent his
free time exploring the region. In 1887, he entered the
geological survey of Borneo, becoming divisional geologist
in 1897, and being named divisional geologist in 1908.
He performed considerable geological work on the island,

including monographs on bismuth, zinc and borax.
Through his researches, Pott had extended the
knowledge of several metals and earths. Zinc, which
had only recently been isolated, is shown to be a
metallic element. For the first time, he also fully
describes Bismuth. These monographs were useful to

secret of making porcelain. The King of Prussia had
commissioned Pott to discover the secret for making
Meissen porcelain. To achieve his goal, he employed
the "dry method," heating to high temperature in
a furnace, all manner and mixture of substances,
mostly mineral in nature. The range of reactions
recorded was a model of comprehensiveness in the
chemical study of the time and showed conclusively that
relative reactivity could be discovered through planned,
interrelated analysis. Pott did not discover the secret
to making porcelain and fell out of favor with the
King. But his published results had wide relevance
to manufacture, and were invaluable for the further
development of theories regarding chemical affinity.

The Académie Böhmische Gelehrte Privatgesellschaft
(Academy of Learned Private Study in Bohemia) was
founded in 1770 by von Born. The academy's focus
was on the history, mathematics and natural history
of Bohemia, which is reflected in their published
oracle that contains interesting papers in mathematics,
mineralogy and fossils. The first series of their journal
was published in 6 parts, 1775-1784. This Society was
afterwards extended and reorganised under the title of
Königlich-Böhmische Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften.

The Probierbüchlein is a treatise very important for the
history of the development of mineral chemistry. Early
manuscripts contained much detailed and accurate
information concerning the methods of separating gold
and silver from other metals and from one another by
so-called cementation processes as well as information
concerning the preparation and use of the strong
mineral acids in the treatment of metals and ores.
The Probierbüchlein reveals the use of nitric acid and
aqua regia in the systematic parting of the metals
as developed into a well conventionalized system as
well as other techniques in assaying metals and ores.
This is the first printed work on assaying, and it
displays the art already full-grown, so far as concerns
gold and silver, and to some extent copper and lead.
It publishes technical details much as they are still
practiced in the assayer's office today. However, the
random collection of procedures given suggests that the
original manuscript was produced by a working assayer
who collected together useful snippets of information
rather than a coherent discussion of the subject.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries a large
number of small printings of this text appeared.
Demand must have been brisk, as it was the only
handbook on the subject available to the many jewelers
and assayers. Even Agricola plagiarized whole sections
from the Probierbüchlein in his works on mining. But
the rarity of any given edition is remarkable. Many
issues are known in only one, two or three survivng
copies, making a definitive bibliography difficult. Even
which book was the first to appear was for a long time
a question. However, based on the previous researches
of the Hoovers, Darmstädter, Siseo and Smith, Pieper,
and other sources the following list is presented. There
may be additional printings not yet known.

Extremely rare. The place and publication
of this early edition is cloaked in mystery. However,
most authorities place this as the first edition of the
Probierbüchlein. At the Herzog- August Bibliothek in
Woltenbiittel, a copy of this book is bound up with
editions of the Bergbiichlein and a mathematical work
that are both dated 1518. This led Darmstädter to
conclude it was of the same vintage, and assign it to the
Schöffer Press at Worms. Like the 1518 Bergbiichlein
this edition of the Probir Büchlein contains the
'Bernamen' as some of the subsequent editions do
not. Further research by Benzing of publications from
Schöffer's press shows that based on the typeface and
the general appearance of the title page this is a circa
1518 publication from Schöffers's firm. This reaffirms
Darmstädter's conclusion, which Pieper also accepts.
Only Siseo and Smith dissent, basing their evidence on
the stylistic quality of the text, and place this edition
after the 1524 and 1527 printings.

of Cornish mining. He was fascinated by the Newcomen
engine and had a chance to study it firsthand because there
were more than 70 of those marvelous engines working in
Cornwall. (For a discussion of the steam pumps and the
engines used in the tin mines of Cornwall, see: Fleming
and Brocklehurst, A History of Engineering, pp. 114—8.)
He had a tremendous interest in ancient Cornwall and
formed a renowned collection of antiquities of the region.
His Archœologia Cornu-Britannica (London, 1790) contains
Pryce's observations including a valuable vocabulary and
grammar of the Cornish language.

VERY SCARCE. Mineralogia. Cornubiensis is the
first great classic devoted to mining in Cornwall and
it was considered the standard for its time. It as
been called the Cornish "De Re Metallica," with some
justification, since it is a comprehensive digest of
mining practices in the region. In it are described the
mineral structure of the Cornish metal mining areas
and the relationships between the various kinds of ore-
bearing lodes. This encyclopedic work is embellished
with diagrams, glossaries of technical terms and fine
engraved plates. A large plan and map of North Downs
Mine, a depiction of a section of Bullen Garden Mine,
and a detailed engraving of a "Steam Fire Engine" (the
Newcomen engine) with a table caluculating its power
to draw water are included. Pryce also discusses at
length the "rag and chain pump" which was still used
by manual labor to dewater mines, although the method
had fallen into disfavor during it the early 1770s.
The author also describes the mineralized zones of
Cornwall and their relationships with each other, finally
tabulating the knowledge in diagrams and glossaries.

PSELLOS (Psellus), Michael Constantinos. (Born:
Nicomedia, Turkey, 1018; DIED: Constantinople,
Turkey, 1078) Byzantine polygraph & philosopher.
Psellos studed in Athens and Constantinople. He
became the leader of the Neoplatonic revival that occurred
in Constantinople during the second half of the eleventh
century. He wrote a voluminous library of works on
the history of his time, medical subjects, Aristotelian
commentaries and various other subjects. Any critical
study of Byzantine civilization and thought relies heavily
upon his publications. Sometimes he is called the 'Younger'
to distinguish him from a philosopher of the same name
who lived in c870.

RARE. First separate edition of this work that
treats the therapeutic uses of the precious stones. Pre-
viously, it had been printed in combination with a
work by PLUTARCH. King notes that Psellus was
a contemporary of Marbod, and was reputed to be
"the most learned Greek of the eleventh century," and
that "amongst his numerous works exists a brief trac-
tate 'On the Virtues of Stones,' describing the uses in
medicine of the Diamond, Haematite, Amethyst, Car-
buncle, Aeschates, Beryl, Galactites, Amber, Jasper,
Idaeus-Dactylus, Crystal, Lychnites, Magnet, Onyx,
Caprinus, Sardonyx, Selenites, Emerald, Hyacinthus,
Chrysolithus, Chryselectrus, Chrysoprasus, Chalazius,
Topazion." King further says that Psellus' notices "are
not worth much as regards the natural history of the
subject, of which he evidently knew nothing, and, as
evidently, regarded as beneath the consideration of a
philosopher." This was an attitude that did not change
much over the coming centuries. He then recounts ex-
amples of the miraculous powers of stones based upon
ancient myths.

PSILANDERHJELM, Nils. (BORN: Karlskrona,
Sweden, 26 November 1706; DlED: Stockholm, Sweden,
4 September 1768) Swedish metallurgist & goverment
official.
Psilanderhjelrn matriculated at the Bergskollegium in
1728, where he became a student of the mining engineer
Anton von Swab. From 1730 to 1736, Psilanderhjelrn made
an extended tour of the mining regions throughout central
Europe and Russia. Upon returning to Sweden, he was
appointed chief mine engineer of the Swedish state. After
serving his country with honor in a war with Russia, he
became chamberlain to King Frederik in 1744. A valuable
collection of minerals Psilanderhjelrn acquired throughout
his career was donated to the Vetenskapskad in 1761, and
after his death his personal library was also bequeathed
there.

RARE. A crystallographic textbook that describes
the Quenstedt's new method to be used in the science.
It is a fanciful method that represents a crystal by
projecting on one face of the crystal all the other faces.
This curious invention never gained favor and is now a
curiosity of crystallographical science. The first part
describes the theory of zones and derivation of the
projections. The second applies the theory to numerous
examples.

theoretical crystallographical is unusual in that it
contains at its beginning a long, detailed historical
introduction to the science. This history begins with
Theophrastus and works down to Miller providing
the derivations of various crystallographic data to
the middle of the nineteenth century. Quenstedt
then describes the development of the crystallographic
systems, followed by discussions of crystallographic
zoning and projections. A final section at the end

Basel where he studied medicine. Afterwards he went
to Freiberg where he became interested in antiquarian
pursuits, especially heraldry. Later, he established himself
in Ingolstadt, where he opened a medical practice, and
published several medical works. In 1553, he came to the
attention of Albert V of Bavaria, and he was brought to
Munich to organize the antiquarian collections of the Royal
family.

Rare. One of the first published guide books for
building natural history collections, and considered to
be the earliest printed museological tract. Quichelberg
carefully categorizes the contents and organization of
an ideal museum and library, covering all types of
artwork, plants, animals and minerals, ... "a rich
theater of objects of the whole universe." He employs
for the first time, the term Wunderkammer (repository
of extraordinary objects), and stresses the importance
of preparing collection catalogs.

SCARCE. Translation by Jean Baptiste H. Martinet
[1840-?] of Minerajes del Perú (Lima, 1878). The work
begins with a short section considering generalities about
the minerals of Perú. The observation is made that a high
degree of the minerals of economic importance are silver
and antimony bearing species. The main text consists of
652 numbered entries, each describing a specific mineral
sample. Raimondi provides for each entry information
on the exact locality, geological environment, chemistry,
and physical characteristics. After describing the non-
metallic minerals, the species are divided according to their
principal contained metal, i.e. gold, silver, bismuth, copper,
iron, etc.
RAMMELSBERG, Karl Friedrich August. (Born:
Berlin, Germany, 1 April 1813; DIED: Grosslichterfelde,
Germany, 28 December 1899) German physician,
chemist & mineralogist.
Rammelsberg studied medicine at the University of
Berlin, graduating in 1837. He became employed at
the University in 1841, being appointed extraordinary
professor of chemistry in 1845. In 1851, he was named
full professor of chemistry and mineralogy at the Royal
Industrial Institute in 1851. Rammelsberg was elected a
member of the Berlin Academy of Science in 1874. His

VERY SCARCE. A classic work in mineralogical
chemistry. Both volumes comprised at their publication
a complete dictionary describing the chemistry of all
known mineral bodies. This was the first work to
treat the subject so completely, and in reality the effort
was so comprehensive and lucid in its descriptions, the
Handwörterbuch quickly became the standard reference
on the subject. Its dominence was not supplanted until
Doelter's Handbuch der Mineral— Chemie appeared in
1912.
The reception the Handwörterbuch recieved at
its appearance may be gaged by Berzelius' review
comments:
"Rammelsberg's Handwörterbuch has enriched
mineralogy with a work of extraordinarily high worth.
It contains the minerals in alphabetical order, with
details of all known analyses. These are accompanied by
fundemental reviews of the analytic methods, frequently
with conversions and necessary corrections applied to
the derived results, thus fulfilling both requirements
usually so difficult to combine, namely completeness
and yet not fatiguing detail. The introduction contains
a short but clear and ordered presentation of the
chemical constitution of mineral and species that
reviews the results of the analyses."
"Seldom has a work been more needed and the
need so perfectly answered as this fitting account. The
deserving author should be greatly thanked for this
extremely useful and laborious undertaking, and the
work should be included in every library concerned with
mineralogical science" (Jahresberichte, 1842: 22, 118).
Around 1847, it was recorded that the work would
be translated into French by Achille Ernest Oscar
Joseph Delésse, but this apparently never came to
fruition.

VERY SCARCE. Rammelsberg designed his
Handbuch der Krystallographischen Chemie to contain
information that was lacking from most general treatises
on chemistry, namely the crystallographic information
about chemical compounds. With immense effort he
collected together the systems, simple forms, twinning
information, and angles of all the laboratory crystals
which had been described, adding full references so that
the reader could always go to the original source. No
one during the nineteenth century contributed more to
the crystallographic knowledge of chemical compounds
than did Rammelsberg with his Handbuch.
The illustration technique used in this work is a
reverse cut. So instead of seeing a crystal drawing
in outline as is usually the case, a black rectangle is
printed with the crystal shape shown in white. Very few
mineralogical works used this technique, and this work
and its supplement are perhaps the finest examples.

VERY SCARCE. In the nineteenth century,
Rammelsberg did as much as any scientist to explore
the mineral composition of minerals. In this work,
totally rewritten and different in its arrangement from
the famous Handwörterbuch des chemischen Theils der
Mineralogie, he gives a complete history of the chemical
properties of each mineral species. The introductory
matter discusses the analysis of minerals, calculation
of results, the function of water, heteromorphism,
isomorphism, homoeomorphism, etc., together with a
long list of literature. The text proper is then presented,
arranged according to the chemical composition of the
mineral species. At its publication, this book was the
grandest work of its type ever to appear, and although
used by many mineralogists of the time, it was still
faulted for containing errors.

adopted by the author in the first edition of 1860, with
the most important changes occuring from new discoveries
in chemistry. The first part contains a general statement
on the subject of mineral chemistry, including detailed
discussions of isomorphism and heteromorphism as they
apply to minerals. The second part takes up the mineral
species in order, giving under each a synopsis of the
analyses published, especially the most recent. For each
analysis the chemical ratios of the elements is calculated
in full, and from them the formulas of the minerals are
deduced.

Randall was apprenticed to an Iowa newspaper to
learn the printing business. In 1869, he moved to
Georgetown and immediately began for several years
working for the local newspaper. After he accumulated
enough resources Randell founded his own weekly, the
Georgetown Courier, which quickly became very influential.
He also became interested in the mineral resources of
the state, and soon was well-known in Colorado as an
amateur mineralogist. A collection of specimens which
he built was purchased in 1892 by the Colorado School of
Mines (Golden, Colorado) and was exhibited as part of the
states display at the World's Columbia Exposition held in
Chicago of that same year.

RARE, especially in complete sets. This
sumptuous publication describes and illustrates selected
specimens from the very large collection of Cornish
minerals and fossils formed by the author. Rashleigh
began to collect minerals around 1765, and since the
upper oxide zones of many mines in the area were at
that time just beginning to be explored, he was able
to assemble over the remainder of his life probably the
finest private collection of Cornish minerals ever. This
1224

NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007
work, published in two parts, describes and illustrates
some of the finest specimens from his collection.
The first part was written in 1797 partially as
a response to the numerous requests Rashleigh had
from his many visitors and foreign correspondents for
an illustrated catalog of his collection. The beautiful
copper engravings show recognizable classic specimens
of cassiterite and various other rare and common copper
species, such as chalcophyillite, liroconite, cuprite and
pharmacosiderite. These excellent illustrations were
the result of the Cornish engraver Henry Bone [1755—
1834] efforts. The first part was so well received that
in 1802 a second part was prepared and published.
For this volume, the services of the engraver Thomas
Medland [7—1833] and the colorist Thomas Richard
Underwood [1765—1836] were retained, and the same
high quality was maintained. However, the text of
both volumes shows Rashleigh ignorance of mineralogy
as a science. The descriptions do not reference the
common mineralogical names of the species illustrated.
Nor does the author reference any other mineralogical
works. Instead, Rashleigh describes the minerals with
his own peculiar nomenclature. But this is a small thing
for a work that was written with the pride of a proud
collector, for an audience of other collectors.
It would appear that the second part, published
five years after the original is an uncommon item. Often
only the first part of this work is offered for sale; seldom
are both parts present. This is probably an effect of
the second part being published as an afterthought by
Rashleigh.

Rare. Ray dedicates his Collection to his friend
and college pupil Peter Courthope of Danny in Sussex.
He writes that Courthope was 'the first that contributed
to it and indeed the person that put me upon it.' This
is one of Ray's more important publications. In his
preface ( "To the Reader" ) Ray explains that he first
began to make his list of words for his own use as
he came across them in conversation, but finding this
to limited a field, he called upon friends throughout
the country to supply him other lists. Even so, the
collection was not particularly long, therefore, he added
to it lists of birds and fishes compiled by Francis
Willughby and himself. Further text was added by
including tracts on the smelting and refining of silver
at The Silver Mills of Cardiganshire, perpetration of tin
in Cornwall, the manner of working iron at the forge,
notes on husbandry, creation of wire in Monmouthshire,
preparation of minium or 'Red Lead', the making of salt
in Cheshire and Lancashire.

observations of fossil types found around Vienna but
unknown to Prévost.

SCARCE. A basic introduction to the science
of crystallography extracted and translated from the
author's comprehensive textbook of chemistry, Cours
de Chemie (2 vols., Paris, 1847-9). The text begins
by defining the nomenclature of the study including
edges, angles, center, and axes, next is a definition
of simple and compound forms, truncations, and
bevelment. The bulk of the text then describes the
six divisions of the crystallographic system. Finally,
the author describes imperfections in crystal formation,
dimorphism, polymorphism and isomorphism.

REISCH, Gregor. (BORN: Balingen, Württemberg,
Germany, cl467; DIED: Freiburg, Germany, 9 May
1525) German theologian.
Reisch became a student at the University of Freiburg
in 1487 and received the degree of magister in 1489.
Then he entered the Carthusian Order. During the years
1500-1502 he was prior at Klein-Basel, and from 1503 to
shortly before his death he was prior at Freiburg. Reisch
was confessor of Maximilian I. He was also visitor for
the Rhenish province of his order. In this capacity he
made many exertions to combat Lutheranism. He became
friends of the most celebrated Humanists of the time,
e.g., Erasmus, Wimpfeling, Beatus, Rheananus, Udalricus
Zasius, and the celebrated preacher, Geiler of Kaisersberg.
Reisch developed a good reputation for adaptability and his
knowledge was so broad and profound he became regarded
as an "oracle."

Editio PRINCEPS. Very rare. A popular and much
reprinted work, being the first modern encyclopedia to
appear in print. Handled in the form of a dialog between
teacher and student, the book was written as a textbook
to be consumed in a university curriculum, and provides
an overview of many subjects. Reisch divides the
text into twelve books, each explaining one of the
sciences: (1) Grammar, (2) Dialectic, (3) Rhetoric, (4)
Arithmetic, (5) Music, (6) Geometry, (7) Astronomy,
(8) Principles of Nature Philosophy (de principiis
rerum naturalium), (9) Origin of Natural Objects
(de origine rerum naturalium) containing references
to minerals, metals and mining, (9) Psychology, (10)
Logic, and (12) Ethics. The twelve editions published
in the 16th century attest to its popularity. The
book was very popular on account of its comparative
brevity and popular form, and was for a long time a
customary textbook of the higher schools. Alexander
von Humboldt said of it that it had "for a half-century,
aided in a remarkable manner the spread of knowledge" .
The volume is notable for several other reasons.
It contains the first schematic representation of the
eye, and its plate of the human brain, localizing
psychological features in specific regions of the brain, is
demeaningly discussed by Vesalius because it relates the
three ventricles of brain to three specific functions. This
diagram roughly shows the convolutional pattern of the
brain and depicts the classic medieval representation
of localized psychology. The numerous woodcuts show
medical subjects, a mineral spring bath used by both
sexes, earthquakes, scenes from the lifes of differenent
professions, monsters, beasts, fishes, cornets, mining of
metals and minerals. There is also a depiction of an
alchemist working in his laboratory on the transmution
of metals.
The large woodcut map of the world is an
interesting combination of fact and fancy, mixing the
Ptolemaic world with mideaval belief. It has no border,
but is surrounded by twelve heads with inscriptions
representing and naming the different winds. It shows
Europe, Asia and Africa, whose coast line extends along
the bottom side of the map until it joins with Asia.
Marks around the edge indicate longitude and latidue.
The New World is not shown, although an inscription
beneath the unfinished continent of Africa indicates
a knowledge of the American discoveries. This map
measures 300 x 411 mm. (11 x 16.5 inches) and is
extremely rare and often lacking from the book for the
obvious reason that it is to large to easily have been
bound up.
The Strassburg printer Schott [see note below] was
specially brought to Freiberg to print this work. There
he established a by-press so that Reisch could oversee
the publication of his work.
Johannes Schott. (BORN: Strasbourg, Alsace,
France, 1477; DIED: Strasbourg, Alsace, France, 1550)
Alsatian/German printer. Attempted to claim in 1521 that
his uncle, Johannes Mentelin, was the inventor of printing.

VERY RARE. An unauthorized reprint of the first
edition (J. Grüninger, 23. Febr. 1504), with the addition
of a synopsis of Hebrew grammer in twenty leaves (on
signiatures Fix to Fxxviii). The title page woodcut was
copied from the first edition, with slight alterations. The
large woodcut map has been reengraved from the one in
the first edition. It is surrounded, however, by a black line
border, and contains only four heads representing the four
principal winds. In the first edition the seas and oceans are
separated from the land by mere outlines, but in this one
the water is distinguished by wavy lines.

Germany. The colophon states that the printer was of
Strassburg, but the place of printing is not given and
is postulated by Adams, for example, to be Freiburg.
Published in March of 1504, this followed Schott's first
edition of 1503 and an edition by Johann Grüninger from
February, 1504, which Schott, in the colophon of the
present volume, asks the reader not to purchase. He also
critisizes the piracy for including a Hebrew grammar that
Reisch did not write.

RARE. The preface by Oronce Finé [see note below]
is dated "Parisijs ex regali collegio Nauarres. 1523,"
which would suggest that there is an edition of that date.
However, since no edition near that year exists, it is more
likely a misprint for 1533. The text is preceded by the
index. "This edition gives only part of the elaborate
engravings found in the earlier ones. It is, however,
much better printed, being set in clear Roman type and
having a more open page." (Smith). The map in the
first section is like the one in the first edition with the
twelve head winds. The appendicies fill pages 1099 to
1498 and include: "Declaratio Specvli Orbis" by Gualtero
Lud. Canónico Deodatensi (pp. 1421-1424), "Nova Terras
descriptio secvndvm Neotericorum obseruantiam" (pp.
1433-1434), followed by a crude, folding woodcut map,
with the inscription at the top "Typis vniversalis terrae,
ivxta modernorvm distinctionem et exteonem per regna et
provincias." This map shows a portion of America with the
inscription, "Paria seu prisilia."
Oronce Finé. (BORN: Briançon, France, 20
December 1494; DIED: Paris, France, 6 October 1555)
French mathematician. In 1530 Finé (Fineus, Finasus)
was appointed professor of mathematics at the Collegio
(later Collège de France) in Paris. He was the author of
numerous scientific works and the inventor of mechanical
and astronomical devices.

engravings by Jan Sadeler after Marten de Vos (inserted?).
Title in red and black. Woodcuts throughout, some
fullpage. Folded diagram at page 262.
RARE. Translated by Giovanni Paolo Gallucci [see
note below], with additions by the mathematician, Oronce
Finé [1494-1555] and an introduction by Faber Stapulensis
to the arithmetics of Boethius and Jordanus. The additions
are substantial and comprise instructions on arthmetic and
practical music. The large symbolic plates and many
textual illustrations have been omitted, while those that
are retained are inferior in execution to earlier editions.
(Ferguson). "This Italian translation, which contains many
additions on arithmetic and music is much scarcer than any
edition of the Latin original." — Libri Catalogue.
Giovanni Paolo Gallucci. (BORN: Salo near Brescia,
Italy, 1538; DIED: 1631?) Italian astronomer. The Italian
Gallucci was a renowned astronomer whose contributions,
especially in the field of astronomical insturrnents, greatly
advanced the scientific knowledge of the 16th and 17th
centuries.

RETZIUS, Anders Jahan. (BORN: Christianstad,
Sweden, 3 October 1742; DlED: Stockholm, Sweden, 6
October 1821) Swedish chemist.
From 1764, he was a chemical demonstrator at the
University in Lund. In 1768 he left for Stockholm.
While there he became a close friend and confidant of
the great chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele [1742-1786]. He
returned to Lund in 1772, however. In 1798, Retzius was
appointed professor of chemistry in the Carolinan Institute
in Stockholm. He assembled an important collection
of minerals and rocks for the University of Lund. He
published numerous articles and books on a number of
subjects including chemistry, botany, zoology, mineralogy
and paleontology. The botanical species "Retzia" is named
after him.

introduction discusses reason why minerals need to be
classified and why Cronstedt's method is the best way.
A synopsis of the overall classification is then presented
followed by a more detailed descriptive mineralogy with
the species arranged according to the system. An
appendix at the end describes the latest discoveries of
mineralogy.

REUSS, Franz Ambros. (BORN: Prague, Czechoslo-
vakia, 3 October 1761; DIED: Bilin, Bohemia, 9 Septem-
ber 1830) Czech physician, mineralogist & geologist.
Father of the physician and paleontologist August
Emanuel von Reuss [1811-1873], Reuss was himself the
son of a tailor. He attended the University of Prague,
where he was educated in philosophy, natural science,
and afterwards medicine. In 1783 he received his M.D.,
and established a practice in Prague. About this time,
he became interested in the mineralogy and geology of
Bohemia, going to Freiberg attend Werner's lectures at
the Bergakademie. In 1784, Reuss became the personal
physician to the mineral collector Prince Lobkowitz at Bilin
in Bohemia. He established his home in this city and except
for field investigations remained in the city for the rest of
his life. As part of his duties for the Prince, he supervised
the exploitation of the famous mineral springs at Bilin. He
conducted many experiments on its waters comparing them
to other health waters and published several works on the
subject, thus becoming a recognized expert in balneology.

of the "Mineralogische Beschriebung von Böhmen"
ever appeared. It is an rare work providing
in volume two a mineralogical description of the
"Bunzlauer" district of Bohemia. This region, located
north of Prague, comprising the Jeschkengebirge and
Isergebirge, produced with the exception of salt, almost
every other useful mineral known. At the end of volume
two are additions to the first volume, covering the
Leitmeritz district.

VERY SCARCE. Reuss' essays on the mineralogy,
petrology and geology of Bohemia, emphasizing basalt
formations. He was an ardent supporter of Werner's
Neptunian theories concerning the aqueous origin of
basalt, and in this work he provides support for the
theory. His research is today considered the first
comprehensive work on the Tertiary sediments and
volcanics of northern Bohemia, together with their pre-
Tertiary formations.

VERY SCARCE. Although the title page indicates
this voluminous work is based on D.L.G. Karsten's
Mineralogische Tabellen (1st ed., Berlin, 1800), it
is also in fact one of the greatest articulations of
Werner's mineralogical and geological theories. The
first volume presents an introduction to mineralogical
science, including discussions of mineral nomenclature,
the physical and chemical properties, etc. The next
four volumes provide a highly detailed descriptive
mineralogy, with each species listed having all the
known information provided. The next two volumes
of the set are concerned with Geognosy, or geology in
general, while the final volume contains the corrections
and an index to the entire work. A remarkable work,
and one of the fullest explanations of Werner's theories
ever to appear.

French mining expert & philosopher.
Reynaud graduated from the Polytechnic School in
1827 and entered the School of the Mines. While a
student there he made a long trip from May to November
1829, through the Harz Mountains, the Black Forest,
Saxony, Hannover, Oldenbourg, Westphalia, Belgium and
the Netherlands. He graduated in 1830. He became an
engineer in Corsica. During the revolution of 1830 he was
for a time imprisoned. Afterwards he became a member
of the Saint-Simonian community and in his Terre et Ciel
(1854), Reynaud set out a religious system based on the
transmigration of souls which he believed was reconcilable
both with Christianity and pluralism. Reynaud was also a
co-founder of the Encyclopédie Nouvelle.

The text was a reedited from the Minéralogie des Gens

Utiles à la Société (1836 and 1842). Its authority in France
is shown by the multiple editions (apparently being only
reissues) that appeared over many years. It is written for
the beginning student of mineralogy with its text covering
stones, earths, fuels, mineral waters, precious stones. The
two colored plates are of mediocre quality.

this beginner's guide is an introduction to minerals and
is somewhat unusual having been authored by a noted
woman chemist! The text covers the simple substances
of minerals including the metals, sulfur, carbon, oxides,
sulfides, chlorides, carbonates, and silicates.
"The outline of the lessons was first worked out by
Mrs. Richards with three successive classes of childern,
from six to eight years old, just out of kindergarten.
An additional reason for including the First Lessons in
Minerals in the series of Science Guides is found in the fact
that it forms a valuable introduction to Science Guide No.

VERY RARE. Published at the expense of the
author and dedicated to the King August II of Poland,
this work is in rare instances among the earliest
mineralogical books to contain colored illustrations.
The volume describes and illustrates mineral and rock
specimens from the mining region of Saxony. In
particular, Richter describes samples of "Wundererde,"
which is a colorful variety of jasper found near Zwickau
and used for ornamental purposes. The 61 exquisite
text engravings show in the form of cross-sections
examples of this jasper and various ores with embedded
minerals, which are carefully labeled with letters and
referenced to the descriptive text. In some copies
of this work the illustrations have been carefully
hand-colored in watercolors and gouache to create
beautiful depictions. Wagner (1902), who believes the
illustrations to be a fantasy of the artist, records that
the originals to the 61 illustrations were held in the
collections of the Mineralogische-Geologische Museum
in Dresden at the beginning of the 20th century.

exposure to water followed by exposure to air, which
he thought showed the metal contained an acid. He

RIO, Andrés Manuel del. (Born: Madrid, Spain, 10
November 1764; DIED: Mexico City, Mexico, 23 March
1849) Spanish mineralogist.
Del Rio was educated in theology and classical
languages at San Isidro, Spain. Because of his excellent
scholarship he was sent to study at the Freiberg
Del Rio
Bergakademie under A.G. WERNER. On his travel back to
Spain, he made excursions throughout the mining districts
of Europe, learning as much as possible. In France, he
became associated with A. LAVOISIER in Paris, but when
the French chemist was seized, Del Rio was forced to flee
to England. In 1793, he was appointed the first professor
of mineralogy at the newly formed Colegio de Minería
(School of Mines) in Mexico City. While there he was the
first to recognize in the mineral vanadinite a new element
he named erthroniurn. Samples he sent to Europe for
confirmation were wrongly said to contain only chromium,
and it was not until later that it was shown Del Rio was
the first discover of the element now know as vanadium.

authored and used by Del Río in the mineralogy courses
he taught at the newly founded Colegio de Minería
(School of Mines) in Mexico City. This course in
mineralogy was probably the first formal instruction
in the subject in the Americas, and it was Del Rio's
leadership and excellence as a teacher that brought
modern scientific and engineering methods into the
mining industry of Mexico. The book reflects Del
Rio's methods by not simply repeating his former
teacher's ideas. Instead the author introduces critical
remarks when research as shown other explanations for
a particular phenomena, he uses Lavoisier's chemical
theories to explain physical qualities, and he includes
accounts of his own discoveries. It is a work important
in the history of mineralogy in Mexico and the
introduction of European scientific methods to the New
World. This volume describes the earths, stones and
salts. A second remarkably rare volume published
in 1805 completes the descriptions by covering the
combustibles, metals and rocks.
The Colegio was the first institution of technical
education founded in the Americas. Graduates of its
comprehensive four-year curriculum, were then assigned
to a two-year apprenticeship in one of the many mining
districts of the Spanish colonies. Later, they would be
promoted to inspectors of mines and given opportunities
to work in Spain, Mexico, Central America, and the
Philippine Islands.

of mineral species. The volumes remainder is a descriptive
mineralogy of commonly encountered species. A second
part was published in 1846 which contains a more thorough
descriptive mineralogy.

Rare. The first part of the work describes
the chemistry and chemical manipulation of minerals,
including assaying and analysis in both the wet and
dry ways. Properties such as crystallography, hardness,
lustre, etc. are also covered. The second part is a
descriptive mineralogy organized along the classification
of Tschermak, which divided the minerals into nine
chemical classes. Through out, emphasis is placed
on the industrial uses of the minerals, especially in
pharmacy, chemistry and agriculture. Notice is also
given to the species that were known to occur in Spain.

guide to those who are traveling to make collections;
but to the mineralogist who is stationary, it presents
a condensed view of the minerals he may wish
to obtain." Robinson compiled the localities by
thoroughly searching the literature, and in particular he
notes his debt to Parker Cleaveland's Treatise (2nd ed.,
Boston, 1822) and The American Journal of Science.
This work, for many years the authoritative source
on America's mineral resources, attracted enough
attention that Frederick Hall published an article
correcting the errors contained in the catalog [See:
American Journal of Science: 15 (1829), 197—9].

VERY SCARCE. Possibly the sale catalog of Samuel
Robinson's mineral collection. Robinson, author of
the important A Catalogue of American Minerals
(New York, 1825), spent much of his life involved in
minéralogie studies. After his death in early 1827,
Robinson's heirs put his collection up for sale. For
this purpose a brief notice appeared in The American
Journal of Science [See: 13 (1827), 199]. Although the
year on the title page of this work indicates publication
in 1829, the preface is dated "New- York July 1st, 1827,"
which implies the catalog existed for at least a year and
a half before it was published.
The large size of the collection (1413 specimens)
and the inclusion of many European specimens are
evidence that this collection was the work of a devoted
collector, which is a message that the preface reinforces:
"Persons conversant with mineralogy will preceive, after
a perusal of the catalogue, that many years of labour
have been devoted to the formation of this series of
minerals, which is arranged after the best principals
of modern science, and enriched by rare crystals. It
is the result of private study and of much careful

VERY RARE. Edited by Johann Christoph
Goldberg, the author's grandson, this is the first edition
of an important and finely illustrated pioneering work
on mining and metallurgy, which is also important in
the development of geological science. "A rare work
on mining and metallurgy in Saxony at the end of the
seventeenth century" (Honeyman). Rössler presented
the idea that mineralized veins were the result of
infilling of open fissures and this directed attento to
the significance of crystal druses (incrustations of small
crystals) in the vein.
The preliminaries feature dedications to the
patrons: Wolff Dietrich von Beuchlingen, Abraham von
Schoenberg, Hanns Larln von Carlowitz, and Johann
Aegidio Alemannen, all high officials in the Saxon
government. A dedicatory letter to these patrons from
the editor and an introduction detailing the history of
mining literature. In the foreword the editor states
his great debt to Agrícola, Ercker, Löhneyss and
Becher. The text then begins with sections on earth,
minerals, mountains, and surface soil conditions, this
volume describes and illustrates the full spectrum of
practical aspects concerning 17th century mining and
metallurgy, from surveying and finding lodes to digging
and fortifying mines with timber to extraction and
processing of metals, with detailed instructions for the
various processes. A number of tables provide extensive
information on smelting techniques and processes.
Roessler also included a section on the use of divining
rods, suggesting that the user's own capacity affects the
rod's results.
Divining rods figure prominently in one of the
engravings, which shows surveyors overseeing four
workers, three of whom are following the path of their
dowsers while the other marks the lines. Twenty-five
charmingly amateurish, though technologically astute,
copper engravings by Roessler's grandson, Johann
Christoph Goldberg, who also served as Roessler's
posthumous editor for this work, illustrate various
surveying, mine engineering, mining, smelting, and
refining techniques, as well as depicting various lode
formations. An index, a list for the binder of the
engravings and their locations, and a large glossary of
mining terminology follow the text.
This is the only published work by Roessler, a
mining expert and surveyor in the prince of Saxony's
service, and the inventor of a suspended mining compass
in 1633.
The plates are numbered but not in the order in
which they are to be inserted in the text. At the end of
the LC copy is leaf (unpaged, unsigned; not included in
page count) with plate placement instructions.

While a high school student, a teacher encouraged
Rogers to collect minerals and fossils from the quarries
around Kansas City, where he lived. Later, he attended for
one year the Missouri School of Mines, before transferring
to the University of Kansas, from which he graduated in
1901. He went to Columbia University to study mineralogy
under Alfred J. Moses, and received his Ph.D. in 1902. He
began his teaching career at Stanford University that same
year and continued for forty years. He retired in 1942,
but continued his interest in mineralogy, giving numerous
lectures on the subject until close to his death.

ROME DE L'ISLE, Jean-Baptiste Louis. (Born:
Gray, France, 29 August 1736; DIED: Paris, France, 7
March 1790) French crystallographer & mineralogist.
Rome de l'Isle received little formal scientific
education — his interest in natural history developed during
his military service and travel in India and the Orient.
In 1764 after his return to France, he was befriended by
the mineralogist and chemist B. SAGE, who directed his
interest to mineralogy. Rome de l'Isle supported himself
through the patronage of several wealthy friends whose
collections of minerals, coins, and gems he supervised and
cataloged. Although his scientific work became well known
outside of France, he never succeeded in breaking into the
French scientific establishment. A proposal for his election
to membership in the Académie des Sciences failed and
he lived to see his own achievements in mineralogy and
crystallography overshadowed by the work of R.J. HAÜY.

VERY SCARCE. The Cristallographie ranks as one
of the great contributions to the science of crystals. In
it Rome de l'Isle attempted to make a comprehensive
classification of crystals. By the time he wrote this
volume, he was extremely familiar with the subject, and
this work greatly supassed all previous works in scope
and detail. To apply his classification, he adopted a
morphological approach in which he attempted to relate
the diverse forms of crystals of the same substance. As a
general morphological concept he introduced the idea of
the "primitive form." All crystals of the same inorganic
substance, no matter how different in appearance had
a fundemental and common geometrical form — the
primative form — to which their actual crystal shapes
related. The justification for this idea was derived from
the previous work of CARL L INNE AUS who had tried to
expain the genesis of minerals by means of an analogy
with the procreation of living creatures, and classified
cystals by the similarities of their crystallized forms.
In this first edition of the Cristallographie, Rome
de l'Isle identifies 110 crystal forms by which minerals
crystallize. Grouped under each of these shapes
are described the minerals that exhibit similar habit,
including the approximate angles between crystal faces.
These forms were all derived form a common saline
ingrediaent in every mineral that worked at a molecular
level. Although he believes that these primitive forms

existed, it is never made clear how they should be
defined for any group of crystals. Rome was able to
greatly expand upon this idea in the second edition
[which see below].
An annotated bibliography compiled by Rome is
listed on pages xvii-xxviii.

VERY SCARCE. Contains the first general announce-
ment of the fundemental law of quantitative crystallogra-
phy. This is a revised and greatly expanded edition of Es-
sai de Cristallographie (Paris, 1772), and although the title
page calls this publication a second edition, it has been so
greatly enlarged, it could rightly be considered as a sepa-
rate work. By the time of its publication, Rome had made
crucial advances towards a quantitative crystallography.
This had been made possible by the recent invention of the
contact goniometer! J by his student, Arnould Carangeot
[see note below]. This simple device used for measuring
crystalline angular dimensions, led him to generally enun-
ciate for the first time, the fundemental quantitative law of
crystallography — the law of constant interfacial angles.
Previously, Henckel, BARTHOLIN and STENO had ob-
served this constant in pyrite, calcite and quartz, respec-
tively; however, Rome was the first to state it as a general
trueism of the physical world. It meant that regardless
of the dissimilar appearance of crystals, specimens of the
same species would always show identical angle measure-
ments between common crystal faces. In addition, this dis-
covery provided mineralogy with the first exact measure-
ment that could be published without interpretation, and
thus ]■<:■ disseminated to other researchers. To this purpose,
this edition increases to over 450 the number of possible
crystal forms, and providing for each accurate angle mea-
surements between different crystal surfaces made with the
goniometer. Armed with his law, he was able to somewhat
elaborate on his definition of the primitive form and how it
related to the external crystal, but Rome never made the
theoretical leap that allowed HaÜY to spin an elegant theory
from essentially the same information. None the less, Rome
captured information from his crystallographical laws and
together with his broadened concept of the relationship be-
tween crystal form and chemical composition, he made the
Cristallographie into the finest mineralogical treatise writ-
ten to the time.
Volume 1, part 1: Salts, acids, alkalines, bases and
combinations.; Volume 1, part 2: Crystallization of stones,
i.e. gypsum, selenite, calcite. Volume 2: Quartz, tourma-
line, feldspar, gems, etc. an appendix deals with rocks and
other aggregates. Volume 3: Metals = Zinc, iron, cobalt,
lead, copper, gold, silver. An alphabetical table of con-
tents, bibliography.
Notes: [1] The scientific world first learned of the
contact goniometer on 11 April 1782, when Carangeot
presented the device to a group of scientists assembled
by Pahin de la Blancherie. The first scientific paper
describing this new tool of crystallography appeared
as: "Un goniomètre ou mesure-angle" in Nouvelles de ¡a
République des Lettres et des Arts, no. 14 (17 April 1782),

VERY SCARCE. In this collection catalog, the
famous French crystallographer fully describes about
750 metallic minerals from his own cabinet. Included
are specimens consisting of pure metals as well as
natural alloys and combinations with sulfur. Basic
division is based upon the principle metals and
semimetals contained in the described specimens and
include gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead, mercury,
antimony, zinc, bismuth, cobalt, arsenic and sulfur.
Under each of these headings, the specimens are divided
based upon their form and chemical composition. For
each item described, notes on the origin, associated
minerals, locality, size and the estimated weight of
contained precious metals is presented. The catalog
is well referenced, and if a particular specimen was
given to Rome, the supplier's name is included in the
description.
During his lifetime, Rome accumulated a large
collection of minerals and crystals. Following his death
in 1790, it was purchased by François Gillet de Laumont
[1747-1834], French Inspector General of Mines and one
of the greatest mineral collectors of his time. In 1835,
De Laumont's collection was purchased by the French
goverment, where today its remains are preserved in
Paris at the Sorbonne.

the French secretary of State for Burgundy and Receiver
General of Finances for Brittany. His natural history
cabinet was well-known in Dijon as early as 1757, and was
prominent in Paris by 1767. Already rich in minerals, the
collection was greatly augmented by the incorporation of
SaVALETTE DE BuCHELAY's collection in 1764, and part
of the chemist Jean Hellot's [1685-1766] collection in 1766.

VERY SCARCE. Brought out as a supplement to his
Cristallographie, Rome de L'Isle in this work discusses
the importance of external characteristics in mineral
identification. The author expresses his opinion that
any mineral can be uniquely identified by determining
its crystal form, its density and its hardness. It was
written to rebut DAUBENTON, who at the time was
giving a series of popluar lectures on mineralogical
subjects. In Daubenton's mineralogical theory, since
mineral species did not organically propagate, there
existed no mechanism for specific characteristics to
be passed from one generation to another; therefore,
mineral species would never be uniquely identifiable,
because they could not exist. When Rome published
this volume he was explicitly stating a principal he had
implied in the two editions of his great crystallographic
work. Namely, that each mineral species was fixed
and distinct from every other species. Rome chose as
his defining characteristic the constancy of chemical
composition, arguing that over time, the invariability
of the laws of chemical affinity would be as accurate
in determining mineral species as reproduction was in
living organisims.

VERY RARE. Catalog prepared by Rome de l'Isle
of a mineral and shell collection that was sold on the 14
th of December, 1778 at the Hôtel d'Espagne in Paris.
The descriptions indicate that the collection consisted
of about 2,000 mineral specimens mostly metalliferous
in nature and 1,500 corals, shells and fossils. The
owner of the collection remains a mystery; however, it
is recorded that the geologist Jean Démest [see note
below] apparently had a large mineral collection, and
this might be the sale catalog of his cabinet.
Jean Démeste. (BORN: 1743; DIED: Liege, Belgium,
20 August 1783) Belgian physician, geologist & mineralogist.
Démeste was a medical doctor, principally a surgeon to the
Army troops of the Bishop-Prince of Liège. His intensive
study of chemistry gained him membership in many learned
societies.

Rare. Catalogue of the Gallois mineral collection.
Gallois had previously acquired the natural history
cabinet of a Mr. Beilanger, director of a tobacco
company in Paris. To this he added other specimens,
particularly minerals, precious stones, and crystallized
specimens. In this work, Rome de l'Isle catalogued
1647 items, presumably for a sale at auction. The
first 109 pages list specimens of mineralogical interest
and include suites of native gold, silver, and copper,
as well as minerals containing lead, tin, iron, mercury,
antimony, pyrites, petrifications, crystallized calcite and
quartz, agates, jaspers, figured stones and precious and
semiprecious stones.
An earlier edition of the catalog probably not
compiled by Rome de l'Isle was published in 1773 [which
see entry under Gallois].

ROSE, Gustav. (BORN: Berlin, Germany, 18 March
1798; DIED: Berlin, Germany, 15 July 1873) German
crystallographer & mineralogist.
Rose was born into a family with a strong tradition in
science. His grandfather, Valentin Rose the elder, invented
the low-melting alloy still called Rose's metal. His father,
Valentine the younger made original contributions to
procedures in inorganic chemical analysis, and his brother
Heinrich was a famous chemist in his own right. In 1815, at
the age of only seventeen, Gustav with his brothers fought
in the campaign against Napoleon. The following year, he
became an apprentice at a mine in Silesia, but left due to
illness. Returning to Berlin, he began studying mineralogy
under CS. WEISS. He graduated from the University of
Berlin in 1820, and traveled to Stockholm to work in the
laboratory of J.J. Berzelius. Returning to Germany in
1823, he began his lifetime career at the University of Berlin
becoming professor extraordinary in 1826 and professor
ordinary in 1839. In 1856, Rose succeeded Weiss as director
of the Royal Mineralogical Museum. Together with F.H.A.
von Humboldt, E. Mitscherlich and others, he founded in
1848 the Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft. The mineral
"Roselite" was named in his honor by A. LEVY in 1824.

RARE. After Rose's death, this edition was completed
by Alexander Sadebeck [see note below]. It is an
authoritative work in crystallography providing in the first
volume material covered in the previous editions of Rose's
Elements der KrystaUographie. However, with the addition of
the second volume, Sadebeck is able to include a great deal
of new material on the theoretical formation of crystals,
descriptions of twinning in each of the six crystallographic
classes, and crystal zoning that had never been treated by
Rose.
Alexander Sadebeck. (BORN: Berlin, Germany, 26
June 1843; DIED: Hamburg, Germany, 9 December 1879)
German mineralogist, crystallographer & stratigrapher. In
1865, Sadebeck received his Ph.D. from the University
of Berlin. In 1872, he became professor ordinary of
mineralogy and geology at the University of Kiel.

RARE. In 1829, Rose along with CG. Ehrenberg
[see note below] was choosen to accompany HUMBOLDT
on a scientific journey commissioned by the Russian
Czar to the Urals, the Altai, and the Caspian Sea.
This venture took him from Europe to as far as the
China frontier. The Mineralogisch— geognostische Reise
chronicles the journey and includes many observations
on geology, mineralogy, and mineral resources of the
regions traversed. Since its publication, it has been
widely quoted as an authoritative source about these
matters. Volume one concerns the northern Urals and
the Altai, while volume two describes the excursions
through the southern Urals and the Caspian sea,
reviewing in particular the minerals and geology of the
Ural mountains.

Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg. (BORN: Delitzsch,
Saxony, Germany, 19 April 1795; DIED: Berlin, Germany,
27 June 1876) German physician, microscopist & naturalist.
Ehrenberg was the only survivor of an expedition sent by
the Prussian Academy to North Africa and the Middle
East, 1820-5. This initiated his interest in the fauna of
the Red Sea. He went on an expedition to Siberia and
Russia to collect material for St. Petersburg, Paris and
Berlin museums.

VERY SCARCE. This is a separately published
paper recording a lecture Rose delivered before the
Berlin Academy of Science on April 25, 1844. It is
the first monograph entirely devoted to the subject of
the crystallization of quartz. The text begins with
a review of the previous literature that dealt with
quartz crystal systems. Major worldwide localités and
the quartz specimens they produce are then described.
This commentary covers crystal forms, combinations,
zoning and twins. The first four plates show various
quartz crystal forms while the last one shows a complex
projection of the known forms.

SCARCE. Important classified catalog of mineral
species, presented as a modification of Ber.ZELIUS'
system of classification, in which the modifying
principle is derived principally from crystallography.
At the time this volume was written, natural history
classification schemes were still generally accepted.
Other researchers preferred a pure chemical approach
following the theories of Berzelius, but could not easily
integrate species like calcite and aragonite that have the
same chemical composition but crystallize in different
systems. In the Krystallo— Chemische Mineralsystem
however, Rose blends mineralogical chemistry and
crystallography into a coherent system of classification,
which ended ideas about "natural classifications" and
was a model for most later classifications.
In the introduction, Rose describes his theoretical
approach to classification. His system consists of
4 major divisions: I. Simple bodies, subdivided by
crystal form, II. Compounds of antimony, arsenic,
tellurium, sulfur and selenium, III. Compounds of
chlorine, fluorine, bromine and iodine, and IV. Oxygen
compounds. This classification is followed by notes on
crystallization and composition of many species. A
catalog of minerals arranged according to the system
follows. Here the species under each division are
arranged in columns according to their system of
crystallization. The divisions are thus broken up into
natural groups that exhibit interesting relationships
between the species. Throughout, Rose provides
extended notes and original views on many mineral
species.

VERY SCARCE. In the 19th century the study of the
optical properties of minerals was in its infancy, and the
research of Rosenbusch was fundamental. His monu-
mental Mikroskopische Physiographie der petrographis-
che wichtigen Mineralien (The Microscopic Physiogra-
phy of the Petrographically Important Minerals) out-
lines the practical means by which rocks can be identi-
fied according to determination under the microscope.
"It contains an exhaustive statement of the practical
methods according to which rocks may be identified
by means of the morphological, physical, and chemical
properties of their component minerals. This is followed
by a full and methodical discussion of the microscopic
characters of rock-forming minerals. The optical con-
sideration of the phenomena of polarization was eluci-
dated so admirably by Rosenbusch, that his work cre-
ated a secure basis for future petrographical researches.
With the improvement of the microscope and the po-
larizing apparatus, by the introduction of a rotating
stage, and by other mechanical aids, it was now ren-
dered possible to distinguish not only singly or doubly
refracting bodies and uniaxial or biaxial minerals, but
also to determine more accurately the specific optical
properties of minerals belonging to the different sys-
tems of crystallization. After the publication of this
great work, Rosenbusch took rank along with Zirkel as
one of the great pioneers in the microscopical investiga-
tion of rocks."
"In 1877, Rosenbusch published a second volume
entitled Die mikroskopische Physiographie der massigen
Gesteine in which he distinguished the massive rocks
according to the felspathic modifications: 1, Orthoclase
rocks; 2, Orthoclase, nepheline, leucite rocks; 3, Pla-
gioclase rocks; 4, Plagioclase, nepheline, leucite rocks;
5, Nepheline rocks; 6, Leucite rocks; 7, Non-felspathic
rock, or peridotites. Each of these groups was subject
to further subdivision according to the particular rock
structure, or in the case of the felspathic rocks according
to the presence or absence of quartz." — Zittel

VERY SCARCE. This author bibliography lists
hundreds of thousands of articles published in over 1 ,500
periodicals and transactions of learned societies and
institutions in various languages during the nineteenth
century. It is world wide in scope, and in the case
of Russian items a translation in either French or
English is provided. It is an unsurpassed compilation
covering all the sciences, including mineralogy and
crystallography. In regard to indexing articles that
are mineralogical in nature, this work carried on in
broader scope the tradition of J.D. Reuss' Repertorium
Commentationum a Societatibus Litterariis Editarum
(16 vols., Göttingen, 1801-21).
This work is so important for tracing articles
published in the ninteeth century that it is in many
cases the first choice for building reference lists for
authors of the period. Its compilation was first
suggested at the Glasgow meeting of the B.A.A.S. in
1855 by Joseph Henry [1797-1878], secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, and the plan was drawn up in
1857. After many years of preparation and considerable
expenditure, the first volume appeared in 1867.
To give an idea of the size of this catalogue it will
suffce to remark that the. papers catalogued in the
fourth series alone, for the period 1884-1900, number
384,478 citations, by 68,577 authors.
The compilation of a subject index, without
which the work loses much of its value, was already
contemplated in the first plan (1857). It was
finally decided to arrange it in accordance with the
International Catalogue of Scientific Literature (which
see below). This meant that it would include
seventeen volumes, one for each of the seventeen
sciences recognized in that catalogue. The first
volume, Pure Mathematics, appeared in 1908; the
second, Mechanics, in 1909, the third, Physics, in two
instalments, Generalities, Heat, Light, Sound in 1912,
Electricity and Magnetism in 1914. The publication
was then finally discontinued, which is a great pity.
Whatever the fate of the International Catalogue may
be, there is no justification for leaving the Royal Society
Catalogue essentially incomplete, and thus nullifying a
large part of the past labor and expenditure. However,
with the general introduction of computer technology,
hopefully the work will appear on-line and searchable.
The Catalogue of Scientific Papers, 1 800- 1900 was
itself superceded by the International Catalogue of
Scientific Literature (14 vols., London, 1902-19), also
prepared by the Royal Society of London, which is
described in the next entry.

VERY SCARCE. This is an outgrowth of the Royal
Society Catalogue, as it was felt that the scientific
literature of the 20th century was too extensive to be
dealt with by a single scientific society. Its organization
was arranged at the initiative of the Royal Society by an
international conference which met in London in 1896,
then again in 1898, in 1900, etc. It was decided to divide
science into seventeen branches:
A. Mathematics.
B. Mechanics.
С Physics.
D. Chemistry.
E. Astronomy.
F. Meteorology (including Terrestrial Magnetism).
G. Mineralogy (including Petrology and Crystallogra-
phy).
H. Geology.
J. Geography (Mathematical and Physical).
K. Paleontology.
L. General Biology.
M. Botany.
N. Zoology.
0. Human Anatomy.
P. Physical Anthropology.
Q. Physiology (including Experimental Psychology,
Pharmacology, and Experimental Pathology).
R. Bacteriology.
A large number of annual volumes were actually
published from 1902 to 1916, but the gigantic
undertaking was a victim of the first World War and
of the national selfishness and loss of idealism which
the War induced. The volumes published cover the
scientific literature for the period from 1901 to about
1913.
The total publication includes 254 octavo volumes
of which 14 were devoted to mineralogy. After World
War I, the stock was sold to William Dawson and
Sons London, who offered a complete sets for the
price of .£60 unbound, or .£100 bound (November
1935). Unfortunately most of this stock was destroyed,
by enemy action during the second World War and
complete sets of these original volumes are now almost

unobtainable. However, a the complete set was
reprinted in a condensed format [see note below].
Section G that was devoted to mineralogy ran a
total of 14 volumes. After the preliminaries, the text
was divided into two principle sections. The first is
an alphabetical author list of the literature while the
second is a classified index to the literature. Each entry
was provided a reference number and these extend to
22258 in the very last mineralogical entry.
Facsimile reprint, 1968: International Catalogue of

page reduction, four pages of each original volume have
been reduced so that the complete 14 volumes are now
reprinted in a single rather thick quarto sized volume.

Rudler was appointed assistant curator of the
Museum of Practical Geology, London in 1861. He became
full curator in 1879 a position he held until 1902. Rudler
was also in charge of the library. His personal collection of
more than 2,000 volumes was bequeathed to the University
of Wales Library at Aberystwyth, where from 1876-9 he
had been mineralogical lecturer. Also at the University of
Wales, he founded that institutions general museum of art.

VERY SCARCE. A handbook of English minerals
with localities, chemical formulae, etc. It is based upon
the large collection of English minerals brought together
by Henry Ludlam [see note below], who bequeathed
the collection to the Museum of Practical Geology in
London and subsequently incorporated into the British
Museum in 1997. The introduction gives an account of
the musum.
Henry Ludlam. (BORN: 14 October 1824; DIED:
London, England, 23 June 1880) English mineral collector.
The youngest of a large family Ludlam studied architecture,
but became instead a land surveyor, and subsequently a
hosier. However the passion of his life was mineralogy
and he amassed one of the finest private collections ever
assembled in England, incorporating those made by Charles
Hampden Turner which in turn contained those of JACOB
Forster, Henry Heuland and William Nevill, which
included that of diplomat WILLIAM G ARROW LeTTSOM.
A wealthy man, Ludlam made extravagant purchases at
mineral auctions and was a good customer of the countries
mineral dealers. He died unmarried, bequeathing his large
mineral collection to the Museum of Practical Geology,
London, which has subsequently been incorporated into
the Natural History Museum, London. He was a Fellow of
the Geological Society and a member of the Mineralogical
Society. The mineral "Ludlamite" was named in his honor
by Richard Tailing in 1876.

[which see subsequent entries], and is an important
precursor of Georgius Agricola's [q.v.] celebrated De
Re Metallica (1st ed., Basileee, 1556). To a smaller
degree it also influenced Vannuccio Biringuccio's De
ia Pirotechnia. (1st ed., Venetia, 1540), as well as the
later works on mining by Lazarus Ercker and Georg
Engelhardt von Löhnyess.
The Bergbüchlein is a practical handbook
designed for beginners rather than experts in the field
of mining. The booklet comprises instructions from
Daniel, a skilled miner, to Knappius, "his mining boy."
In ten chapters, the work contains an introduction
to mining geology, touches on some theories of the
generation of ores, which is of mineralogical interest,
introduces and defines many of the important technical
terms of the profession, discusses the ores of the seven
most important metals, and how to prospect for them.
Not all the information contained in its pages is based
on fact or even first hand knowledge of the author
but enough of the material was sufficiently practical
for Agrícola to have used it as a reference book and
even copied certain passages verbatim in writing his
more comprehensive work. From references he makes
in De Re Metallica Agricola believed the author of the
BergbucJifein to have been "Calbus of Freiberg, a well-
known doctor," i.e., Ulrich Rülein von Calw. Indeed
Rülein is accepted by present-day scholarship as the
author, although most editions of the Bergbuchlein were
published anonymously.
The place and date of this edition is, like its
authorship, cloaked in mystery. However, almost
without exception experts in the field of mining
literature and German literature of this period believe
this book to be the earliest edition known. Van
Dechen (1885) dated this edition as Augsburg, 1505;
Darmstaedter (1926) between 1505 and 1510, printed
"probably" by Martin Landsberg of Leipzig; Siseo and
Smith (1949) agree with this determination signifying
it "Edition A"; while Pieper (1955), in a subsesquent
study, says "about" 1500. Only three copies of the
work are presently known to exist. One is in the
Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, one at the Staats- unds
Stadtbibliothek, Augsburg (lacking leaves 23-26) and
one other, listed by the San Francisco bookseller John
Howell in catalog number 40 (1970), item 6. The
current location of this last copy is unknown.

VERY SCARCE. There are slight differences between
this work and the undated first edition. A brief
introduction that occurred before Daniel and the young
miner start their dialog has been dropped; the title page
and its illustration has been changed; all of the illustrations
have been redrawn, and brief instructions on how they
should be colored has been included. A six page glossary
of mining terms has been appended, although this glossary
deals with different aspects of mining than is contained in
the text. The text is the same in both editions, in spite of
minor ommissions in the 1518 issue. These changes were
the result of editorial deletions and corrections.

VERY SCARCE. The BergbiicWein is included with other
tracts concerning mining in this collected work. The first
portion consists of a treatise discussing the old mining
laws of Bohemia, Moravia, Meissen, etc. The first page
of the Bergbüchlein contains an abstract of the omitted
original dialogue that serves as an introduction to the ten
chapters of the text. The glossary of mining terms is
present, and is followed by three pages listing the ores and
mines of Bohemia. Although this edition shows no place of
publication, Von Dechen (1885) and Siseo & Smith (1949)
build a case for dating it around 1530.

Rumphius
RUMPF (Rumphius), Georg Eberhard. (Born:
1637; DIED: 1706) Dutch naturalist.
George E. Rumphius (1628-1702), the blind "Plinius
Indicus" , had been in the service of Dutch East-India
Company as merchant and was stationed at the island of
Ambon where he started researching systematically flora
and fauna of this island. He described and drew all he saw
and sent his manuscripts over to Amsterdam. His most
famous work (2 Ductch, 2 Latin ans one German edition)
is D'Amboinische Rariteitskamer, which was published
after his death in 1705 in Amsterdam. This work was
and is especially interesting and useful for the owners
(very popular at the time) cabinets of natural curiosities,
the forerunner of the musea of today. Faraway from
every centre of intellectual civilisation he was not literally

RARE. The 60 magnificent copper engravings
may be separated into the following categories: crabs
(12), sea-urchins &¿ starfish (4), snails &¿ muscles (33),
and petrifications and minerals (11). There is also an
engraved title page, a beautiful engraved frontispiece
portrait showing Rumpf and 4 engraved vingettes.
The best copy ever available of this natural history
classical work on marine life, geology and mineralogy
of the area of the Molucca Islands in the Indonesian
Archipelago. Only two colored copies of this book are
known, the one in the Library of Artis, Amsterdam.
This copy has been coloured by Maria Sybilla Merian,
as is written on the half title by the former owner
A. Vosrnaer (1720-1799), the director of the princely
zoological gardens at Het Klein Loo near The Hague. At
an auction in 1779 the 1779 the Vosrnaer copy fetched
FL. 240, which was a serious amount of money for a
book at that time.
Maria Sybilla Merian (1647-1717). She was
highly interested in flowers, insects and other aspects
of nature, specially those which came from exotic
areas as e.g; Surinam, in our copy the half-title and
some plates bear manuscript annotations in German.
We are still investigating thename of the author of
these scholarly annotations. Anyway the German

traveller and burgomaster of Frankfurt Z.C. Von
Uffenbach (1683-1735) visitded Maria Sybilla Merian
in Amsterdam on February 23, 1711. He recorded this
visit enthousiastically in his diary, which was published
in 1753-54. He also mentions the coloured copy of

Maria Sybilla Merian. (BORN: Frankfurt am Main,
Germany, 1647; DIED: Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 13
January 1717) German/Dutch artist. Merian was the
natural daughter of a publisher and engraver, and the
stepdaughter of a still-life painter. Not surprisingly, she
took up flower painting and engraving. She also took up
with an artist, but it didn't last. Unhappy in her marriage,
she moved her daughters to a religious community in the
Dutch province of Friesland, then later to Amsterdam.
There she made powerful friends and eventually received
funds from the government to journey with her younger
daughter to Dutch controlled Surinam in South America.
After a cramped, dirty sea voyage, she landed in a hot,
wet-and-dry climate. Undaunted, she pursued her passions
for the next two years, painting and insects. She built
large collections, which she took back to Amsterdam
when she was forced to return in 1701 due to illness.
These collections surpassed all others and caused great
enthusiasm among the city's scientists.

RUTLEY, Frank. (BORN: Dover, England, 14 May
1842; DIED: London, England, 16 May 1904) English
geologist, mineralogist & petrologist.
Rutley was educated partly at Bonn, but his interest
in geology was kindled at the Royal School of Mines, where
he studied from 1862-1865. He then joined the army,
and served as lieutenant until 1867, when he became an
assistant geologist on the Geological Survey. Working in
the Lake district, Rutley began to make a special study
of rocks and rock- forming minerals, and soon qualified as
acting petrologist for the Geological Survey. For several
years be worked in that capacity at the Geological Museum
in Jermyn Street. In 1882 he was appointed lecturer on
mineralogy at the Royal College of Science, and held this
post until ill-health compelled him to retire in 1898.

VERY RARE. Written as part of 'Murby's Test
Books', this little treatise expresses in a clear and
simple form that facts that are essential to the general
student studying mineralogy. The descriptions are
concise, and the selection of material good. The first
section provides an introduction to the science stressing
the physical properties of minerals, with a chapter
on crystallography and one on optical properties.
The second part of the volume is taken up by a
descriptive mineralogy that lists characteristics of the
most commonly encountered mineral species, including
metals with occurrences and uses. At the end is a
glossary of terms. Immensely popular the book went
through twelve editions during the author's lifetime and
more after his death, being perhaps the most frequently
reprinted textbook in the mineralogical literature (27th
edition, 1988).

Rare. Rutty settled in Dublin in 1724 , where,
while extremely active in Dublin intellectual life, he
practiced medicine for most of his life. He initiated two
long-term projects: a detailed study of materia medica
and a systematic record of the weather of Dublin. His
pioneering Essay towards a Natural History, the first
real county natural history in Ireland, has a particular
emphasis on the practical uses, medicinal or culinary,
of the flora and fauna. Notably it includes the earliest
notice of the brown rat (Rattus Norvegicus) coming
to Ireland. The third section describes the soils,
agriculture, fossils, mines, minerals, and mineral waters
of the region. The five engraved plates of birds were
the first serious attempt to provide natural history
RUYSCH
RUYSCH, Frederik. (Born: The Hague, The
Netherlands, 23 March 1638; DIED: Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, 22 February 1731) Dutch physician,
anatomist & botanist.
Ruysch was descended from an old and notable
family, whose members were established in various cities.
As a youth, he was apprenticed to an apothecary. In 1661,
although not yet admitted to the apothecaries guild, he
prepared prescriptions and opened his own shop in The
Hague. However, the guild ordered him to suspend activity
until he passed the required exam, which Ruysch did in
the summer of 1661. In 1666, he was named praelector
of anatomy for the surgeon's guild in Amsterdam. He
held this post the remainder of his long life. Soon after
he accepted the appointment, he relocated to Amsterdam,
where in various rented houses, he displayed his ever
growing collections of anatomical and natural history
specimens.

VERY RARE. Auction catalogue of the second,
and larger, collection of anatomical and natural history
specimens formed by Ruysch. Resident in Amsterdam,
Ruysch's collection was famous throughout Europe, and
visited by many persons of every description. Generals,
ambassadors, princes, and even kings were happy in the
opportunity of examining it. In 1698, when Peter the
Great visited Holland, he often dined with Ruysch so
that he might have an opportunity of examining the
cabinet. Ruysch liked his cabinet to be displayed in
dramatic ways. "He prepared a corpse of a child as if
it were alive so that Peter the Great was inclined to
kiss it. A hydrocephalic child was prepared, seated on
a cushion and with a placneta in its hands.' (DSB)
In 1715, Ruysch announced his intention to sell
the collection, but no buyers presented themselves. In

1717, on a return visit to Holland, Peter the Great
bought it for 30,000 guilders. It was carefully packed
and transported by boat to Russia, becoming part of the
Royal collections. Immediately after the sale, Ruysch,
age 79, began a new collection. After Ruysch's death
in 1731, at age 96, the new collection was sold at
auction. A large number of items were acquired for
20,000 florins by the King of Poland, John Sobieski,
who entrusted their preservation to the University of
Wittenberg. (Muray) The catalog of this sale shows
that Ruysch's second collection was substantially larger
than his first; it describes 1189 anatomical specimens,
27 lots of exotic plants, and a few lots of mineralogical
interest in the natural history section. The collection
sold to Peter the Great in 1717 contained only 935
items.

SAGE, Balthazar-Georges. (Born: Paris, France,

1824) French apothecary, mineralogist, chemist &
metallurgist.
Sage, the son of a pharmacist, became a pharmacist
himself, and was educated by Abbé Nollet and Rouelle. In
1760, he delivered a series of public lectures on chemistry
and assaying in the family pharmacy. As a result of
pressures from King Louis XV, in 1778 Sage was appointed
extraordinary professor of mineralogy and assaying at the
Paris Mint. As a principal founder of the Paris School of
Mines and the Museum of Mineralogy in 1783, he became
the director of both and a professor, teaching classes in
both chemistry and mineralogy. Sage was elected a member
of the French Academy of Science. His research emphasized
assaying and chemical analysis, galvanism and natural
history.

Rare. A collection of short essays on a variety of
subjects connected to minerals, ores, gems and fossils,
also including an essay on the best method to determine
the quality of wine. Other topics covered are the
preparation of blue paint pigment from lapis lazuli, an
important chemical and physical examination of human
and animal calculi or bezoars, and a translation of a
letter from JOHANN GEORG LEHMANN describing "red
lead" (i.e. Crocoite) found in the lead mines of Siberia.
Among other characteristics, the mineral is described
as being worth its weight in gold to Russian collectors.

Scarce. This collection of chemical papers mostly
deals with the analyses of ores and minerals containing
arsenic, antimony, cobalt, silver, copper, iron, etc. Other
topics include coal, glass, the crystallization of metals from
amalgams, metallic calces and remarks on a table of chem-
ical affinities. Many of the papers are reprinted from Mém-
oires de l'Académie des Sciences (1766-1772). "Of some in-
terest is the paper on 'animal salt' (pp. 59-65) in which
Sage describes the preparation of crystalline potassium fer-
rocyanide." (Cole).

SCARCE. The Paris School of Mines was
established in March 19, 1783. This is a catalog
of its mineral collection that according to Sage's
advertisement was at the time one of the most
complete in Europe. The specimens are ordered
by chemical qualities, which had been determined
through experimentation and blowpipe analysis. Brief
descriptions and locality information are provided
for each entry, but the overall content is scant on
information.

SCARCE. Contains the material the author covered
in a course on chemistry and mineralogy, which he
had taught for twelve years. The text is divided into
three parts. The first deals with the five mineral acids,
fixed and volatile alkalies, various salts and bitumens.
The second attempts to show that the so— called simple
earths are salts whose basis is the absorbant earth. The
third section covers metals. At the conclusion is a short
section on the analysis of mineral waters. Cole (1988)
says a number of the analyses are fanciful.

VERY RARE. Sole edition of this remarkable
1746 prospectus that describes only a small portion of
the extensive mineralogical cabinet of the Florentine
naturalist Johann De Baillou [see note below]. At the
time, the complete collection comprised 30,000 samples
of minerals, fossils, rocks and shells, and was one of the
largest in the world. This volume provides details of
Baillou's collecting philosophy and descriptions of some
of the finest specimens of precious stones, native metals,
minerals, crystals and other fossils contained in the
collection. Baillou vainly hoped that the publication of
this small volume would help obtain support for a much
more ambitious catalog of his collection; however, its
only affect was that it influenced Emperor Franz Stefan
I into purchasing the collection in 1748 and retaining
De Baillou as its curator, when the whole was moved to
Vienna. Upon the Emperors death in 1765, the Empress
Maria Theresa presented the collection to the state and
opened it to public viewing. The remnants of it are
preserved today in the Naturhistorisches Museum in
Vienna.

by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ — Edit Draft. [1200dpi]
NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24. 2007
Sancto Geminiano
The volume opens with a preliminary discourse,
followed by 27 chapters. Topics include a general
idea of the cabinet, the philosophy behind collecting
natural history specimens, the principles of the cabinet
and petrifications. Other chapters describe the metals,
precious stones, marine fossils, corals, crustaceans,
animal fossils, earths, salts, sulfurs, alabaster Sc marble,
jaspers of various types, agates &c cornealians, pyrites,
semi-metals, and rock crystal. The last chapter provides
a general description of the cabinets organization.
Facing page 149 is a plate printed in red and
black, showing the title page of a proposed and never
published work. It was Baillou's wish to prepare a full
descriptive catalog of the collection, utilizing his own
system of classification. It would appear in seven folio
size volumes, printed on imperial paper and illustrated
by 600 plates rendering the finest specimens. It was a
grandiose plan, and without the backing of a wealthy
patron, impossible to complete. Unfortunately, the
publication never went further than this preliminary
solicitation for funds. The title as printed on the plate
reads: [In red:] Traité Universel | [in black:] Des | [in

Johann de Baillou. (BORN: 1679; DIED: Vienna,
Austria, 1758) Italian naturalist. Baillou built an extensive
natual history collection including 30,000 specimens of
minerals, rocks and shells, which was among the world's
largest. It was puchased in 1748 by the Emperor Fanz
Stefan I, who transported the collection to Vienna and
retained Baillou as its curator. After the Emperor's death
in 1765, the Empress Maria Theres presented the collection
to the state and opened it to the public. Today, it is
incorporated into the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna.

first describes the equipment, methods, and use of the
blowpipe in qualitative analysis. It is illustrated with
good engravings of the various apparatus. The second
presents a series of exercises designed for instructing
the beginner. Two long tables list the reaction results
of various common oxides with borax and microcosmic
salt when placed within the blowpipe flame. The third
section, the longest of the book, lists the reactions
of specific substances including many minerals. The
work concludes with a catalog of foreign works available
through the publisher.

& naturalist.
Santi, a celebrated naturalist, graduated from the
University of Siena with a medical degree. He traveled to
France, befriending Buffon, Lavoisier and other celebrated
scientists of the time. He became professor of chemistry
and natural history at the University of Pisa, where he
also directed the museum and botanical gardens of that
institution.

VERY SCARCE. Santi in these travels of Monte
Amiata gives a full description of the volcanic cone
and associated phenomena. He made a complete
survey of the different species of minerals, catalogues
all the volcanic phenomena and tested also the chemical
nature of the thermal waters at San Filippo near
his native town Pienza. His interest went also to
botany and a thorough list of the vegetables found
near Monte Amiata is also given, with interesting
agricultural and gastronomical information on chestnut
and chestnut trees. Sparse information is given about
archeological sites. The same scheme is recognizable
in his exploration of the province of Siena, where less
volcanic phenomena than at Monte Amiata can be

the first section provides a chronological list of major
publications from Cardanus (1554) to Rome de l'lsle.
The text is then divided into seven additional sections
that each cover the work of one researcher. These
are: (2) Rome de l'lsle in depth, (3) Torbern Bergman,
(4) René Just Haiiy, (5) Christian Samuel Weiss, (6)
Adolph Theodor Kupffer, (7) Freidrich Mohs and (8)

botanist & alpinist.
From 1762 to 1786, Saussure was professor of physics
and philosophy at the University of Geneva. He invented
and perfected many atmospheric instruments to aid his
observations, and his experiments in geology mark the
beginning of petrology.

VERY SCARCE. First edition of this great classic
on the geology of the Alps as well as a milestone
of Alpine literature. It is the first work to give a
detailed account of this great mountain range of Central
Europe. "During these years he crossed the whole
chain of the Alps no less than fourteen times and
made in addition sixteen other traverses from the plains
flanking the range to its central axis, and this at a time
when there were but few roads in that part of Europe,
which was then shunned by all travellers and where the
passage of the mountains was not only difficult but often
dangerous... He climbed all the accessible summits,
collected specimens of rocks ... He was a contemporary
of Werner and with Werner believed that this granite
had crystallized out of the water of the primitive ocean
While De Saussure's book deals chiefly with the
geology of the Alps, it contains many references to
the inhabitants of the mountains, their hard conditions
of life and their sterling traits of character. He also
speaks in the most glowing terms of the pleasure of
mountaineering and Alpine explorations..." (Adams).
De Saussure proformed experiments on the fusion of
granites and porphyries and is considered the first
experimental petrologist. He popularized the term
'geology' which replaced 'geognosy'. His work provided
James Hutton with fundamental documentation. And
without doubt his researches contributed to the modern
passion for mountain climbing.

almost simultaneously in 8 volumes.

Rare. This is an early book describing the sources
and the important agricultural uses of diatomaceous
earth. From the earliest times stored grain has been
protected from insects by adding a powder or dust
to it. Common materials include plant ash, lime,
dolomite, certain types of soil, and diatomaceous earth
or Kieselguhr. The last is the subject of this work,
which is perhaps the most effective non-toxic natural
insecticide.
Diatomaceous earth is a geological deposit made
up of the fossilized skeletons of siliceous marine and
fresh water organisms, particularly diatoms and other
algae. These skeletons are made of hydrated amorphous
silica or opal. When crushed, they break up into
microscopic pieces with sharp edges. To humans it feels
like a talcum powder, but the individual particles are
easily picked up in the hairy bodies of most insects,
whereupon scratches are made through their protective
wax layers. The result is that the insects lose moisture
rapidly, dry up and die.

From 1837 to 1839, Schauroth studied mining at the
Bergakademie in Freiberg, then mineralogy at Heidelberg
(1840). In 1844 he became director (Kustode) of the
Herzogl. Kunst- und Naturalienkabinett in Coburg, staying
there till the year 1883. Schauroth was active as a field
geologist around Coburg from 1850-1865, and specialized
in stratigraphy and wrote several scientific papers about
the mining, fossils, and geology of the region.

VERY SCARCE. Paramorphism and pseudomorphs.
Another researcher who extended the research
in to mineral alterations was Theodor Scheerer, who
authored Der Paramorphismus und seine Bedeutung in
die Chemie, Mineralogie, und Geologie (Braunschweig,
1854). Here Scheerer differentiated a peculiar condition
that he called 'paramorphism' where in a mineral
having one general exterior form incases constituents
having a different cyrstalline character. For example, he
describes a natrolite crystal from Norway that normally
would be an orthorhombic mineral but had an exterior
form that was monoclinic in habit. Other examples are
the change of aragonite to calcite (both CaC0 3 ) at a
certain temperature or the pararnorphs of rutile after
brookite (both ТЮ2) from Magnet Cove, Arkansas.

VERY RARE. This work is the first attempt at
compiling a directory of living mineralogists throughout
the world. The introduction provides a list of
mineralogists that had died from 1828 through 1841.
The text is then divided into six sections. The
first of these presents an alphabetical sequence of
living mineralogists, their addresses, and lists of their
more interesting published works, dissertations, and
essays. The second part gives specifications and short
notes about various royal, public, and private mineral
collections that had come to the compiler's attention.
Part three geographically divides all the societies and
learned organizations that pertained to mineralogy,
and part four geographically lists all the journals and
magazines that would be of interest to mineralogists.
Part five then lists the location of mineralogists by the
city where they reside. Organized geographically, part
six lists the cities where mineralogical collections might
be found. A huge amount of information related to the
history of mineralogy in the early nineteenth century
that would otherwise be lost is contained within this
slender volume.

Rare. In the year 1702 Scheuchzer published a
work with the title Specimen Lithographies Helvetiee
Curiosee, in which he described 'figured stones, as sports
or jests of Nature. But having afterwards procured
a copy of Woodward's Essay, which he translated
into Latin, he adopted the opinion that these stones
are relics of the Deluge, and upheld this view in his
subsequent writings. It is a useful catalog of the names
which up to his time had been given to the figured
stones, giving references to some of the published
descriptions of them.

VERY SCARCE. The first edition in book
form of a series that appeared in weekly sections
between 11 February 1705 and 28 December 1707
that recounts Scheuchzer's observations on the natural
history, geography and meteorology. This edition
built the foundation on which the later better
organized with commentary Natur-Geschichte des
Schweizlandes (1716-18), which was an epoch work
in contempary natural history and ethnology of
Switzerland. Scheuchzer undertook yearly trips
through his homeland making observations, becoming
an early pioneer in alpine science. For example,
the third volume contains the first printed map of
"Glarnerlandes" engraved by J.M. Füssli, which was
funded by Scheuchzer. Other plates show scenic views,
plants, petrifications, and a few mineral specimens.

VERY SCARCE. These volumes were published at
the expense of the Royal Society of London and have an
interesting connection to Sir Issac Newton [1642-1727]
— the frontispiece to each of the three parts was printed
at his expense. The fact that the book was published
in London, with the assistance of the Royal Society
and its president, Isaac Newton, and special help from
Hans Sloane, is an interesting example of international
scientific solidarity. The explanation for this generous
engagement was certainly the uniqueness of the work,
which was a pioneering accomplishment and an example
for similar publicationsin other countries. Each account
of a tour is concluded by a list of the rare plants
encountered there, which are often depicted on the
plates. Scheuchzer was the first scientist in Switzerland
to possess mathematical and physical insturments.
From 1702 onwards he travelled the Alps year by year
recording his numerous observations. The cummulative
results are published in Helveticus, sive Itinera Alpina
Tria, the first scientific research dealing with the natural
history, palaeontology, geology, mineralogy, physics,
and glaciology (a science first established in this work).
He also describes activities of humans in these regions,
herding dairy cattle on summer pastures, gathering wild
hay, and hunting the chamois. The fine engraved plates
show plants, machinery, watercourses, alpine walkways,
minerals, etc.

VERY SCARCE. The most comprehensive and sought-
after edition of this splendid work, with excellent the
depictions on the plates. The polymath J. J. Scheuchzer
undertook, together with a small group of students, nine
excursions into the Alpine regions of Switzerland between
1702-11. The three first excursions were published in 1708
by the British Royal Society of which Scheuchzer was a
member. Isaac Newton, then president of the Society,
himself contributed 20 pounds to the high costs of this
publication, due mainly to its lavish illustration. The whole
collected excursions were published only in 1723, and it
was this edition which became probably Scheuchzer's most
consulted work. His main merits as an investigator were
in the fields of barometry, palaeontology and botany. He
contributed the foundation for an exact knowledge of the
country as it presented itself in the 18th century; even
Schiller drew inspiration and information from these works
for his 'Wilhelm Tell.' At the end of vol. IV, Scheuchzer
gives a detailed account of his scientific publications. The
fine engravings show views of Aarau, Aarberg, Altdorf,
Baden, Bern, Bienne, Brugg, Chur, Fribourg, Glarus,
Lausanne, Lucerne, Plurs before and after the landslide,
Rapperswil, Schwyz, Solothurn, St. Gall, Zurich (2), and
many more villages and towns, as well as castles and
manors. 'Iter 5' contains 11 plates depicting dragons and
other mythological animals.

2°: 44 p., 10 leaves of plates title page is engraved.,

VERY RARE. Palaeobotany, the study of fossils
of plants, is represented by the Herbarium Diluvianum
of Scheuchzer. Although preceded by the Welshman,
Edward Llwyd, who published several pictures of fossil
plants from the collections in the Ashmolean collection
in 1699, the first edition of Scheuchzer's work is
generally regarded as the first really comprehensive
and well illustrated treatise on the subject. As the
title suggests, Scheuchzer another in the long line
of pious botanists and physicians who had a strong
belief in their religion — leading to his surmise that the
specimens discussed had been preserved from Noah's
flood. The work was of sufficient importance to
establish Scheuchzer as the father of Swiss, and in the
views of some, of European palaeobotany.

nature. Plantee Diluvinas (fossil plants) are by far the
most prevalent descriptions occuping pages 2-99, while
animals (pp. 100-102), fish (pp. 102-105) and birds,
insects and humans (pp. 106-107) complete the catalog.

Rare. Scheuchzer was a Swiss naturalist with
a wide breadth of knowledge — for his time. In his
day, it was customary to regard the Old Testament as
a perfectly accurate description of the history of the
earth, and Scheuchzer was certainly a man of his time.
In 1725, he examined what he believed was the fossil
of a victim of the biblical flood. In 1731, he published
a description of the victim in his masterwork: Sacred
Physics. Sacred Physics recounted the formation of the
earth, the creation of all life and the deluge.

RARE. First German edition of Scheuchzer's Physica
Sacra, a scientific commentary on the Bible and an " ouvrage
indispensable aux naturalistes" (Brunet) with 758 plates
on cosmography, paleontology, zoology, botany, anatomy
and other subjects related to natural history by the Swiss
physician and scholar Johann J. Scheuchzer, the father of
paleontology. The significance of the Kupfer-Bible extends
beyond history proper, showing the state of oriental and
Greek lexicography and of philological methods in the
first part of the eighteenth century and providing a select
bibliography of recent publications on these subjects.

VERY RARE. Published from manuscript notes
seven years after the author's death. "Scheuchzer
wrote a useful catalogue of the names which up to
his time had been given to 'figured stones', and gave
references to some of the published descriptions of
them." (Geikie). Written for the benefit of M.A.
Cappeller, this catalogue is contained in the first section
and contains a description of fossil animals (Cronoids)
that are illustrated on the plate. Jacob Theodor
Klein's work is on the nomenclature of minerals, rocks
and fossils, and contains an alphabetical list with
names of minerals and fossils, with scholarly references.
Additions made to the original list by Klein have been
marked by asterisks, while the German names have been
printed in a gothic typeface.

second part contains the first German expenditure of
the 1708 and 1723 first Latin of reports Scheuchzers
appeared over its alpine journeys. "Scheuchzer was
beside Conrad Gessner and Albrecht of Haller a most
important universal scholar, that Switzerland it own
calls. It combined a physician, a natural scientist,
a mathematician, a paleontologist, a Geodaeten, a
geographer, a historian, a Numismatiker, a theologian
and a Philologen "(Fueter) in itself. Scheuchzers
natural history was trailblazing in the area of regional
studies, alpine research and the physical geography of
the Swiss high mountains. With its historical data
this expenditure beside Tschudis chronicle formed one
of the most important sources for Schillers "Tell".
On its journeys Scheuchzer made the first barometric
levellings in the mountains, examined the glaciers,
collected Petrefakten etc.. Under the copper boards
are to emphasize the beautiful map Graubuendens of
G. Walser, the interior opinion of a cheese factory, the
representation of a total solar eclipse, illustrations of
minerals and petrifying as well as opinions among other
things from bath Pfaefers, Walterswil, pc. God hard

That was the claim of Johann Jacob Scheuchzer
(left), a highly respected Swiss physician and naturalist. In
1725, Scheuchzer uncovered the partial skeleton of a large
vertebrate animal in limestone and dubbed the specimen
Homo diluvii testis "Man, a witness of the Deluge."
"To Scheuchzer, the preserved skull and backbone
looked decidedly humanlike and totally different from any
fossil he had ever seen," Schopf noted. "There could be
only one explanation this must be the remains of a man
drowned in the Flood."
Steeped in the Christian tradition, Scheuchzer had
a view of Earth's history that was so influenced by the
story of Noah that he credited the Great Deluge with
forming fossil-bearing rocks. Within a few years of the
announcement of his fossil find, Scheuchzer's antediluvian
man was hailed by scholars "as irrefutable evidence of the
Holy Word."
It took almost a century before the skeleton was
correctly identified as a huge fossil salamander.

Schijnvoet possesed a rich collections of antiquities,

Rariteitkamer (1705), obtaining animals from other
amateurs to complete the missing pictures. Czar Peter
visited his cabinet, and he had connections to the Russian
resident Christoffel van Brants. On his death, his cabinet
passed to his son-in-law Vincent Posthumus, who offered
it for sale in 1744 in two catalogues. The first describes
the shells and the second catalogs the fossils, stones and
minerals.

VERY RARE. Schijnvoet's natural history
collections were inherited after his death by his son-
in-law, Vincent Posthumus [see note below]. Some
years later, after adding some material, they were
put up for auction. The first sale dispersed the
numerous shells, while a second sale liquidated the
minerals, fossils and stones. The auction catalog
described here is the only full account of the items
contained in the Schijnvoet/Posthumus earth science
collection. The preface provides some scant historical
information on the founding and building of the
collection. The remainder of the text consists of a
catalog of mineralogical specimens in parallel Latin
and Dutch columns, separated by a vertical rule. The
auction began with gold, and moved onto silver, copper
and iron minerals. This was followed by the precious
gems, agates, jaspers, lapis lazuli, etc. Finally the sale
concluded with the fossils. Short descriptions are given
for each lot.

Over the course of a two year period Geoffroy verified all
the tests. However, at his death the manuscript was left
unpublished. It was examined by the Royal Academy and
published. This rendering in French appears to be much
more common than the German original.

SCHLEYER, August. (Born: 25 July 1850; Died: 17
March 1931) German naturalist.
Schleyer was an instructor in agricultural science at
the Winter School in Fürth, Bavaria. Besides minerals, he
wrote books for the general reader on botany, birds and
insects. In 1880, he developed an artificial language that
he named "Volapuk" .

RARE. A general introduction to mineralogy
providing the standard information, which although
undated is listed by several on-line German libraries
as having been published in 1909. The work is
fully illustrated by 170 chromolithographie figures of
described species which are illustrated on the 30 plates
scattered throughout the text. This appears to be the
first appearance of the chromolithographie plates, which
later were rearranged with fewer figures per plate but
creating 40 plates in Spencer's The World's Minerals
(London, 1911) and Artini's I Minerali (Milano, 1914).

SCHMEISSER, Johann Gottfried. (Born: Andreas-
berg, Germany, 24 June 1767; DIED: Hamburg, Ger-
many, 5 February 1837) German apothecary, physician,
chemist & mineralogist.
Schmeisser was born the son of a poor parish rector.
At an early age, he was apprenticed to an apothecary
in Braunsweig. From this experience, he received a
basic foundation in classical physics, chemistry, anatomy,
mineralogy and botany that would serve him well later in
life. Schmeisser traveled a great deal, including a very
extended excursion to London. There he was introduced
into the scientific circles by his English friend, Joseph
Banks [1743-1820]. This lead to his selection as companion
and guide to Baron von Voght [1752-1839] on his journey
through England and Scotland. When Voght was about to
return to Germany, he offered Schmeisser the possibility
of setting up his own chemical laboratory for studies in
agriculture. Schmeisser accepted and returned to Germany.
However, there was a falling out between the two, and
no laboratory was established. Subsequently, Schmeisser
moved to Helmstadt where he received an M.D. from
the University. Later he settled in Alton, establishing a
successful apothecary shop. Throughout the remainder of
his life, Schmeisser continued to travel extensively, most
notably to the Scandinavian countries. Schmeisser was
elected a Fellow of the Royal Societies of London and
Edinburgh.

VERY RARE. During the author's travels to
London, he was sponsored by the Linnean Society
to give a series of public lectures on mineralogy
and chemistry. The guide to these lectures is the
present work. Topics covered include an explanantion
of mineralogy, a history of the science, recounting
principally the systems of classifications, and the use
of chemistry in mineralogy.

VERY SCARCE. A System of Mineralogy is a
derivative work written to provide the student with a
good and acurate text. It relies principally upon the
theories of AXEL Fredrich CRONSTEDT to develop a
portrait of the science, and includes a great amount of
practical advise on the chemical anaysis and description
of minerals. Schmeisser dedicates the work to his
great friends, Charles Grenville and Joseph Banks,
who both sponsered him for membership in the Royal
Society of London. The preface acknowledges the
author's debt to WaLLERIUS, CRONSTEDT, BERGMAN
and DelamÉTHERIE for the chemical analyses, to
Urban Friedrich Benedict Brückmann [1723-1812] for
the description of the gems, to R.OMÉ DE l'Isle
for the crystallography and to WERNER and D.L.G.
KARSTEN for the descriptions of the external characters.
However, Schmeisser emphasises that this work is
original in its presentation. The preface continues
by introducing Werner's concept of external characters
with the addition of some rules of chemistry so as to
acquaint the reader with the methods used to examine
and analysis minerals. Schmeisser also mentions that
he intends to publish a supplement to this work that
will classify minerals according to his system of his own
invention. This supplement never appeared, however.
A brief introduction describes differences between
homogenous and heterogenous substances and the
purpose of analytic analysis with an example. Included
is a table listing the quantities of substances that
dissolve in sulphuric, nitric and muriatic acids. The
introduction concludes with a sketch of the history
of mineralogy. Next come tables comparing the
external characters and another describing mineral
forms. A long descriptive mineralogy dividing the
individuals into Classes, Genera, Species and Varieties
is then presented. A typical description includes
the mineral's name, references to other literature and
discussions of the physical qualities, the reaction with
various acids and the behavior before the blowpipe.
Following the descriptive mineralogy is a philosophical
discussion centering on how minerals should be
described and examined. Practical instructions for

SCHMIDEL, Casmir Christoph. (Born: Bayreuth,
Germany, 21 November 1718; DIED: Ansbach, Germany,
18 December 1792) German physician.
Schmidel was the first son of Georg Cornelius
Schmidel, a Brandenburg financial councillor and physician
ordinary to the margrave in Bayreuth. In 1728, after the
death of his parents, Schmidel first moved to Arnstadt and
then in 1733 to Gera. In 1735, he began medical studies at
the University of Jena and continued them the following
year at Halle. He returned to Jena in 1739, receiving
his M.D. in 1742 for the work, Dissertatio inauguralis de
exulceratione pericardii et cordis exemplo illustrata (Jena,
1742??).
After completion of his studies, Schmidel won an
appointment as professor of pharmacology at the newly
opened Friedrichs— Akademie. Similtaneously, he opened
a medical practice in Beyreuth. In 1744, when the
academy was moved to Er langen, he accepted the second
professorship of medicine at its new quarters. There he
lectured on physiology, anatomy, surgery, pathothology and
forensics. But disagreements with his university colleagues
caused Schmidel to resign his position. In 1763 he traveled
to Ansbach to serve as physician ordinary to Margrave Carl
Alexander. In recognition of his services to the sovereign,
Schmidel was appointed a privy councillor and head of the
board of health. In 1750 he was elected a member of the
Kaiserliche Akademie der Naturforscher in Halle, and on 16
July 1783, Schmidel was awarded an honorary M.D. at the
University of Erlangen. Mental disorders plagued Schmidel
the last years >•!' his life.

VERY SCARCE. The objective of this volume was
to accurately portray minerals of economic importance
in their "exact" colors, so that miners and prospectors
could use it as a handbook and a guide to locate
valuable ores. The noted engraver Johann Michael
Seligmann [see note below] was responsible for the
majority of the fine copper plates which show various
specimens of copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold
ores. The text, written in both Latin and German,
meticulously describes the physical properties and
modes of occurrence of the figured specimens, thus
anticipating the importance of external characteristics
in mineralogy. The specimens shown on the plates
are unfortunately not fine crystallized specimens, but
typical examples of valuable ores; therefore, one will be
disappointed if too much is expected of the illustrations
as mineral specimen depictions. They are, however, well
executed pictures of ores samples.
The Berlinischer Sammlungen review notice of
Fossilium Metalla. et res Metallicas indicates that
sections containing 3 plates were to be issued every
2 months. Probably due to an insufficent number
of subscribers however, the flow of new descriptions
and plates became erratic, and with only twenty— eight

plates distributed, eventually halted in 1765, although
by this time, Schmidel's book was highly admired and
much used as a practical tool. Yet, no new descriptions
or plates appeared until after 1771. At this point, new
sections were published until a total of forty— two plates
were issued, then apparently publication again ceased,
for copies with 42 plates are considered complete in the
standard bibliographic references. Nevertheless, a very
few copies exist with descriptions and four additional
plates, thereby totaling 46 plates. Since the added
plates do not identify their engraver or year of creation,
it is assumed they were issued at some later time, and
therefore not included in many copies.
The signiature collation of the leaves clearly shows
that the text was published in such a way that the
book could be sold in separate German and Latin
volumes as well as the configuration described here
with the German and Latin combinded into a single
volume. Since most copies of this work appear to be
the combination text, it can probably be assumed that
both sets of text were sent to subscribers, and it was
the subscribers who made the final determination as to
what should be bound or not.
Johann Michael Seligmann. (BORN: Nürnberg,
Germany, 12 October 1720; DIED: Nürnberg, Germany, 25
December 1762) German illustrator/engraver. Seligmann
received his training in both drawing and copper engraving
at the Nürnberg Malerakademie. He became an associate of
Johann Georg Ebersberger [1695-1760] and Johann Justin
Preißlers [1698-1771]. Seligmann created illustrations for
many religious, scientific and natural history works.

SCHMIDT, F.A. German physician.
Schmidt is a elusive personality about whom surpris-
ing little is known. His full name was Friedrich Wilhelm
Christian Schmidt, and he used "F.A. Schmidt" as a pen
name. According to Schenkenberg (1842), he had a med-
ical practice in Metzingen (Messingen) in Württemberg.
He is also listed later by Gistel (1856) as a physician and a
"Petrefaktenkenner" or someone knowledgeable about fos-
sils in Metzingen. Schmidt was a member of the Society
of Naturalists in Württemberg (Vereins für vaterländis-
che Naturkunde in Württemberg). Besides minerals, he
authored other works on fossils, including Die wichtigsten
Fundorte der Petrefakten Württembergs (Stuttgart, 1838).
Mayer (1976) is the source for his dates.

VERY SCARCE. The work begins with an
introduction to the physical characters of minerals,
including form, hardness, specific gravity, color,
phosphor esence, magnetism, electricity, and chemistry
of minerals. Following this are standard descriptions
of various minerals, some of which are illustrated on
the plates. Included among the discussed and rendered
species are quartz crystals, agates, beryls, emeralds,
and topazes. Each plate shows four or more specimens,
and although most species are easily recognized from
their portrait, the plate quality is cruder than other
comparable works. Yet this work ranks among the finer
hand— colored mineralogies published.

Schönbauer edited and completed the second volume.
This work describes the author's new analytic method
for the determination and classification of minerals.
The first volume contains the mineralogical system,
which is quite complex. The second volume includes:
1) concise descriptions of the important characters
found in earthy minerals and their constituents;
2) a systematic determination of the terrestrial

VERY RARE. This work, probably printed
without the knowledge of the author, is a rather
incomplete extract from his Neue analytische Methode
die Mineralien (1809). In this system the minerals are
divided into four classes, namely; a) those which possess
either a metallic luster or streak; b) salts; c) combustible
minerals and d) those minerals without metallic luster
or without the characteristics of the former classes and
which are more or less soluable in mineral acids. These
last are subdivided according to color, taste, etc. On the
reverse is printed Werner's mineral system of 1807, to
which is added the beginning of Andres' classification

SCHOOLCRAFT, Henry Rowe. (Born: Albany
County [now Guilderland], New York, U.S.A., 28 March
1793; DIED: Washington, D.C., U.S.A., 10 December
1864) American geologist & ethnologist.
Schoolcraft attended Union College and for a time
Middlebury College. He became engaged in the family's
glass— making business at an early age. However, from
1817 to 1818 he began to explore the mineral regions of
southern Missouri and Arkansas. In 1820, he was appointed
naturalist to General Lewis Cass' [1782—1866] expedition
to the upper Mississippi River and Lake Superior copper
country. Schoolcraft then worked as an indian agent for the
tribes around Lake Superior from 1822 to 1841. Later he
moved to Washington, D.C. where he worked on compiling
comprehensive data on Indian Tribes for the Office of
Indian Affairs. Schoolcraft was a member of the New York
Lycenum of Natural History and a founding member of the
American Ethnological Society in 1842.
Besides his mineralogical writings, Schoolcraft had
a lifetime interest in studying American Indian tribes,
especially tribes in the Great Lakes region. These
ethnological writings are what he is best remembered for
today.

SCHÖPF, Johann David. (Born: Wunsiedel,
Germany, 8 March 1752; DIED: Germany, 10 September
1800) German physician & naturalist.
Son of a wealthy merchant, Schöpf was educated
from 1767 to 1770 at the Gymnasium at Hof. Afterwards
he attended the University of Erlangen where he studied
medicine and the natural sciences and from which he
graduated in 1773. After a year of travel throughout
Germany, he returned to Erlangen, receiving his M.D. in
1776. He immediately established a medical practice in
Ansbach. This lead to his appointment as the chief surgeon
for the Ansbach regiment in service of the British army,
stationed at New York, Long Island, Rhode Island, and
Philadelphia between 1777 and 1783. After his discharge,
from 1783 to 1784 Schöpf travelled extensively throughout
the middle and southern United States, finally returning to
Germany by-way of the Bahamas. Once again in Germany,
lb' opened a medical practice in Bayreuth and wrote a
number of important works dealing with the natural history
of America. For the remainder of his life, Schöpf remainded
mostly in Germany, with only two short excursions to Italy
and Holland. He died in Germany of a disease of the throat.

Rare. This title is among the first consequential
works on American geology and is superceded only
by the 1763 Epharta, Pennsylvania edition of BARBA
in American mineralogy. At the outset of his stay
in America employed as a mercenary for the British
army, Schöpf purposely began to record observations
about the natural history, culture and goverment of
the United States, and consequently he became the
chief German student of American natural history. He
writes in this work that his intention with regard to
mineralogy and geology was to compare the American
earths and stones with their European counterparts
and describe the similarities and differences between
the geology of the two lands. He accomplishes this
in a sometimes brilliant text rooted in first hand
observation. During his time in the military, Schöpf

had accumulated information about much of New York,
Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, and after his discharge
he took a long arduious, overland route to visit the
middle and southern states. Thoughout the journey
he recorded his observations about the flora, fauna
and mineralogy of the land. The Beyträge focuses on
his observations about the mineralogy and geology of
the country he passed through. The author was an
observant naturalist, and all his works on the botany,
mineralogy, geology and customs of the country were
among the first accurate scientific views of the new
nation.

SCHRAUF, Albrecht. (BORN: Vienna, Austria, 14
December 1837; DIED: Vienna, Austria, 29 November
1897) Austrian mineralogist & crystallographer.
Schrauf was educated at the University of Vienna
by the crystallographer W.J. Grailich. In 1861, Schrauf
became the assistant custodian of the H of- Mineral- К ab inet
in Vienna. He moved on to adjunct-custodian, before
becoming the custodian in 1867. In 1862, he was appointed
professor of physical mineralogy at the University of
Vienna. Schrauf authored many papers mostly on
mineralogical and crystallographic topics. For the most,
they were devoted to three areas of study: (1) the physical
and geometrical properties of minerals, (2) the atomic
structure of crystals and (3) mineral paragensis. In his
younger days he was closely associated with the Austrian
Archduke Stephan, whose fine collection of minerals he
studied for the preparation of a catalog (never published?),
and to whom his Atlas der Krystallformen is dedicated.

RARE. No more published. An ambitious
and rare work, commenced by one of the greatest
crystallographers of the time. At the suggestion of
Wilhelm Joseph Grailich, Schrauf set his goal to
depict every crystalline form known for each mineral
species. The species are arranged alphabetically
with each plate showing 16 well executed figures
of crystals. Each plate is accompanied with a
leaf of descriptive letterpress. The text contains
crystallographic descriptions of the figures, fundamental
dimensions and angles, but without tables relating the
inclinations between the various crystal faces. These
tables were to be published in a companion volume
that never appeared. Many of the figures are by
Schrauf himself, and in all cases references are given
to the original authority. Due to the tremendous
labor, expense and time involved in preparing the
plates, only 5 Lieferungen of a projected 20 were ever
issued. Each of these contain 10 plates and bears
its own title page with dates ranging from 1864 to
1878, when Schrauf abandoned the project. It was not
until Victor. Goldschmidt published his own Atlas
der Krysta-llformen (Heidelberg, 1913-23) that Schrauf 's
idea was carried through to completion.

and 1868 respectively, Lehrbuch der physikalischen
Mineralogie treats in volume one the descriptive and
mathematical crystallography and in volume two the
optical, thermal, and other physical properties of
minerals or inorganic substances. It was written to
supplement the author's Atlas of crystalline forms by
providing full descriptions of the minerals. Another
volume that was to contain tables of the angles and
dimensions of crystals of the various mineral species was
planned but never published.

RARE. The earliest work showing nature-
printing of minerals, a process which was later
called 'Mineralographie' by Alois Auer. Mr. P.
Heilmann an authority on nature printing calls it
'Typennaturselbstdruck' and in an article in the
Osterreichische Apotheker- Zeitung of 1980. Schreibers'
slim volume, a landmark first edition of the iconography
of meteorites, features nature-printed illustrations,
where the "nature" in question is a meteorite (not
the customary inked leaf or flower). The lithographic
plates number among the earliest products of this
method of book illustration; some, borrowing a term
from early printing in Europe, call them "incunables of
lithography."

2 : 64 p., 2 engraved portraits (of Christophorus and
Johannes Christophorus Gottwald), 49 engraved plates,
title vignette.
RARE. A beautifully illustrated work (on shells only).
Christophorus Gottwald [see note below] created one of
the largest Wunderkammer of his time. His collection
was purchased by Tsar Peter the Great together with the
famous collections of Seba and Ruysch and these created
the nucleus of the St. Petersburg 'Kunstkammer.' During
his lifetime, Gottwald planned to publish an illustrated
catalog of his collection with plates engraved after his own
drawings. However, the book was never published, only a
few of the plates were distributed by Gottwald's son [see
previous entry]. The copper plates were later purchased
by the publisher Raspe, who had previously printed works
on shells. Schröter was then retained to author a text.
So althought this work was published at the end of the
18th century the plates were drawn and engraved a century
earlier. The portraits are usually lacking from copies of this
work.

SCHULTES, Joseph August. (Born: Vienna,
Austria, 15 April 1773; DIED: Landshut, Austria,
21 April 1831) Austrian physician, mineralogist &
botanist.
In 1805, Schultes was professor of zoology, botany and
mineralogy at the Theresianum in Vienna. He accepted a
post as professor of chemistry and botany at the University
of Krakow [Poland] in 1806. From 1808 he was instructor
of natural history and chemistry at the University of
Innsbruck, Austria. Finally, in 1809 he was appointed
professor of natural history and botany at the University
of Landshut, as well as one of the medical directors.

of the Freiberg Bergakademie from its founding in 1769
until his death. In his lifetime he was considered among
the most knowledgeable mineralogists in Saxony, having
built a collection of over 7,500 specimens. After his death,
it was reorganized by WERNER, and sold to the government
of Portugal, which shipped it to the University of Rio de
Janeiro to be used in teaching mineralogy and geology.
Pabst von Ohain was a member of the Leipzig and St.
Petersburg Academies.

is a descriptive mineralogy based upon a chemical
classification as developed in TORBERN Bergman's
Sciagr&phia Regni Mineralis (1782). At the conclusion
are a series of tables designed to present the mineral
species according to their chemical properties.

Eichelborn, Weimar, Germany, 14 March 1779; DIED:
Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany, 29 December 1834)
German theologian.
Schwabe studied theology at the University of Jena
and through lectures on natural history and philosophy,
he became interested in mineralogy. From 1801—2 he was
the first Privatdocent at the University of Jena. He was
then sent to Wormstadt in Thürigen as a parson. He
remained in that position from 1802—21. In 1821, Schwabe
was appointed superintentant and the head of the church
at Neustadt [now in Poland]. In 1833, he moved to Weimar
where he accepted a post as senior parson.

VERY SCARCE. This is an early work on the
botanical and subterranean wonders of Silesia in
Germany. The preliminary pages contain a short
section describing the geography of the area. This is
followed by part one, which provides a comprehensive
classified catalog of the botanical varieties of the area
, including flowers, ferns, trees, agriculture etc. The
second part, with its own sectional title page, is
a detailed descriptive catalog of Silesia's fossils and
minerals. It incorporates a general table outlining the
classification scheme followed by a description of the
fossils in four books. The system is an adaptation after
AGRÍCOLA, and divides minerals and fossils into Terrae,
Lapides, Succi and Metallica.

SCOPOLI, Giovanni Antonio. (Born: Cavalles near
Trent, Italy, 3 June 1721; DIED: Pavia, Italy, 8 May
1788) Hungarian physician, chemist & botanist.
In 1766, Scopoli was appointed professor of
mineralogy at the mining academy in Schemitz Hungary.
Then in 1777, he was named professor of chemistry and
natural history at the University of Pavia in Italy.
After the studies in medicine to Innsbruck, it
exercised the profession in the hospital of Trento and
therefore to Venice, where it began to be interested of
botany. Moved in the territories of the Austrian Empire
doctor of the mining city of Idria in Carniola was name and
therefore university professor of chemistry, mineralogy and
metallurgy to the Mining Academy of Schemnitz, from 1769
to 1776. In these years it produced to its scientific works
more rinomate than botanical and of mineralogy. In 1777
he was called to cover the chair of chemistry and botany to
the university of Pavia, assignment that conserved until
the year of the dead women, although its involvement
in the failed attempt to discredit the colleague Lazzaro
Spallanzani to the eyes of the university and governmental
authorities.

RARE. Mercury in Idrija comes in two guises: as
cinnabar (mercury sulphide, HgS) rock inclusions, and
as pure mercury, referred to as 'native' mercury.
Mercury was first exported via Venice to Levante,
and later also to Germany and Holland, to be further
exported to Mexico and Peru for use in amalgamation
in silver and gold mines there. Since 1659 Amsterdam
was the main export center. In 1785-1797, up to 700
tons of mercury were exported to Spain yearly.
In the 16th century, Paracelsus visited Idrija and
introduced mercury in medicine. Joannes Antonius

De Hydrargyro Idriensi, 1761
Scopoli served as medical doctor in Idrija from 1745
to 1769. (1761 is the year of the first lace and of the
work by Scopoli: De Hydrargyro Idriensi.) Balthasar
Hacquet, who also wrote the Oryctographia Carniolica,
lived in Idrija from 1766 to 1773; at that time, Idrija
was the second largest town in Carniola.
Of all medical sciences in Slovenia, occupational
medicine has the longest tradition . It is not a
mere coincidence that it had developed already at the
beginning of 18th century in Idria. The mercury mine
in Idria is the second largest European mine of its kind,
next to Spanish Almadén, and has been owned by the
Habsburg dynasty for four centureis. To attain higher
production, the miners in Idria received medical and
social care much earlier than anywhere else ; chronic
intoxication caused by mercury fumes greatly hindered
their working ability. The first and, at the same
time, one of the most prominent doctors in Idria, J. A.
Scopoli (1723-1788) perfectly dexcribed the symptoms
of chronic intoxication with mercury in his work
De Hydrargyro Idriensi Tentamina Physico-Chymico-
Medica (Venice, 1761) and thus ranked himself among
the early medical writers of occupational medicine,
medical hygiene and toxicology. His predecessors wera
Ellenbog, Paracelsus, Mattioli and some others. The
article describes the situation in the mine of Idria in
the 17th and 18th century and focusses on Scopolis
mineralogical and medical discussion on mercury miners
and mercurialism.

Rare. This is Scopoli's first text book on
mineralogy. It is an introductory work in mineralogical
science, written for the student, and based upon the
author's own experience in studying and arranging
his mineral collection. Scopoli had become interested
in minerals while studying the mercury mines of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1760, and being a curious
naturalist had built a substantial cabinet of minerals
and fossils. These he arranged according to his own
classification system containing two classes: (1) earths
and (2) mined substances ('Minern'). Within the
first class are contained limestone, chalk, gypsum,
clay, mica, asbestos, precious stones, crystal, quartz,
fluorite, sandstone, etc., while the second class lists
salts, hard earths like opal, amber, sulfur, and precious,
semiprecious and semi-metals.

SEBA, Albertus. (BORN: Eetzel, near Friedeburg in
Ost— Frieze, Germany, 13 May 1665; DIED: Amsterdam,
The Netherlands, 3 May 1736) German apothecary &
naturalist.
Seba was born a peasant without fortune or
prospects. The master of the village school noticed his
eagerness to learn, however, ami gave him instruction in
Latin and all else he thought useful. After benefiting from
these lessons, Seba was able to become an apprentice to
an apothecary in Neustadt— Goedens, a town near his birth
place. After his apprentiship, Seba moved to Amsterdam,
where he found work in the flourishing pharmaceutical
industry. Through connections he made there, Seba was
offered the opportunity to travel abroad. He made two
profitable voyages acting as agent for the famous Dutch
East— India Company. Upon his return from the second
venture, he settled in Amsterdam, where he married and
established his own successful apothecary shop.

VERY SCARCE. This magnificiant work, commonly
called Seba's Thesaurus, is a well know illustrated
natural history, which in its colored form, is one of
the most sumptous and complete records of any 18th
century rariteitkammern. Its purpose was to describe
and picture the natural history of the known world. The
449 plates (175 double— page) by P. Tanjé, A. van der
Laan, F. de Bakker, A. van Buysen jun., De La Croix,
J. Folkema, W. Jongman, F. Morellon, K.D. Pütter,
J. Punt and J. van der Speyk show specimens from all
branches of natural history including some minerals and
fossils often in fantastic if not bizzare groupings. It was
the product of the golden age of Dutch bookmaking,
and it is one of its greatest examples.
The text is known in two issues. The most
common being Latin with a parallel French translation
and the rarer issue consisting of the same Latin but
with the French text being replaced by one in Dutch.
The commentary describes in an unscientific though
complex method Seba's arrangement of the specimens
in his museum. However, it is not the text that makes
this work desireable, but the astonishing and numerous
plates depiciting at natural size many thousands of
individual natural history specimens contained in the
collection. The first volume describes and illustrates
various leaves, fruits, roots that have been dissected
to illustrate their internal structure, strange and exotic
plants, rare animals most notable being the winged
species of dogs, cats, rats, mice, squirrels, beautiful
birds from the East and West Indies together with
their nests, exotic snakes, lizards, crocodiles, iguanas,
chameleons, salamanders, rats, mice, toads and frogs.
The second volume shows a variety of extraordinary
snakes, adders, lizards together with their anatomical
structure, collected from different parts of the world.
Also included are descriptions of various fossils and
exotic plants. The third volume deals primarily with
marine treasures such as beautiful shells, conches,
starfish, marine plants, corals, sea spiders, sea mosses.
The final volume depicts rare insects gathered from all
corners of the earth as well as many varieties of precious
minerals and ores and petrified wood.
Seba's early studies had given him a taste for
natural history, and using the large fortune he had
accumulated by his earlier travels he began collecting
natural history specimens. He built a remarkable
collection that became famous throughout Europe.
Upon its merits, Seba was elected to membership
in London's Royal Society, the Imperial Academy of
Vienna, and other societies. In 1716, when Russia's
Peter the Great [??—??] visited Amsterdam for a second
time, he purchased the museum for the tremendous sum
of 15,000 guilders and removed it to St. Petersburg,
where it became the nucleus of a natural history
collection in that city's academy of science. However,
Seba could not contain his desire to collect, and so
he embarked almost immediately on forming another
collection, which by many accounts outshown his first
effort within a few years.
As an apothecary, Seba was among the first to
board ships newly arrived from overseas to sell and
dispense medicines to the sick and exhausted crews.
During this time, he would enquire as to what curiosities
they had brought back from their voyage, and many
times this would allow Seba to make a quick purchase.
Duplicate items were then resold to his fellow collectors
for profit. Seba elected to perserve a memory of this
collection for posterity and embarked after a time to
prepare an elaborate illustrated catalog.
Seba seems to have written the basic text for
the first volumes of the Thesaurus in Dutch, but
he died in 1736 before all the volumes had been
completed. Thereafter many other authors would have
a hand in the works completion. The most important
of these were P. Artedi [1705—1735] who wrote the
descriptions of the fishes, P. van Musschenbroek [1692—
1761] and H.D. Graubius [??-??]. Engel (1937)
reproduces the agreement between Seba and the two
firms of booksellers mentioned in the initial imprint
and Landwehr (1976) provides a highly interesting
translation of the original prospectus for the work.
From these two researchers it can be said that Seba and
the publishers were each to pay one third of the costs
and after some concessions to Seba for providing the
copy, they would equally share the profits. The work

Seba
was published at 40 guilders a volume plain and 200
guilders colored. With Seba's death in 1736, and only
two volumes thus far published and volume three only
partialy complete, the work seemed destined never to
be finished.
Only through the attention of Seba's son— in— law,
Van Ommeting was the work carried through. But in
order to pay the remaining publication costs, Seba's
fabulous museum which upto that time had remained
intact had to be auctioned. This occured sixteen years
after Seba's death on 14 April 1752 and subsequent
days. The entire sale realized 24,440 guilders (Engel,
1961), more than enough money for the Thesuraus to
be completed.
Of mineralogical interest are plates 100—103 of
volume four. Here are depicted over 100 mineral
specimens, many of them fine examples and obviously
the product of careful selection. They are mostly
metallic species containing gold, silver, mercury, iron
and copper. The golds came from Sumatra, Japan,
Hungary, Borneo, Siam, Cuba, Ceylon and "New
Spain." The silver and silver ores are listed as coming
from Norway, Japan, Guinea, Germany, Siam, Hungary,
Arabia and Virginia. As Wilson (1994) points out,
"Despite its relatively small size and clearly subsidiary
status amid his much vaster array of plant and animal
remains, [Seba's] mineral collection was suprisingly
sophisticated and broad— based in its range of localities."

VERY SCARCE. Published as part three of the sec-
ond edition of Johannes Leunis's [1802-1873] series Syn-
opsis der drei Naturreiche ... Mit vorzüglicher Berück-
sichtigung der nützlichen und schädlichen Naturkörper
Deutschlands (1st ed., Hannover, 1844-53). This work
by Senft represents the second edition of the mineralog-
ical/geological portion. The first edition was prepared
by Friedrich August Roemer in 1853.
The first volume of this large work is a compre-
hensive textbook on mineralogy, covering terminology,
physical and chemical properties, crystallography, as
well as a descriptive mineralogy of the most important
mineral species. The text is fully illustrated with sev-
eral hundred cuts showing mostly crystal diagrams. An
index at the end provides a list of mineral species de-
scribed in the text. The second volume covers all as-
pects of geology and palaeontology. It is also very illus-
trated with a comprehensive index to the text contained
at the conclusion of the second part.

RARE. This finely illustrated work is the first
published catalog of the celebrated Museo Kicheriano
in the Jesuit Collegio Romano. The nucleus of the
collection came in 1651 when the secretary of the
Roman senate, Alfonso Donino [ —1651], bequeathed
his collection of classical antiquities to the Collegio
Romano. Kircher was appointed curator of the Donino
collection, and he used the position to enlarge it
with exotic items from Eygpt, the Far East and the
Americas. Gradually mathematical instruments, other
scientific instruments, models of Egyptian obelisks,
musical instruments and hydraulic organs were added.
Clocks, preserved examples of birds and animals,
geological specimens and works of art all soon followed.
During Kircher's many travels, he routinely sought out
new material to add to the growing accumulation. An

additional productive source of material for the Museo
Kircheriano was the network of Jesuit missionaries
scattered throughout the world. They would regularly
send back to Rome example of the native flora, fauna,
minerals, and everyday tools. Soon the Musseum
Kircherianum as the collection became known was the
finest of its kind in the world.
It was displayed in a hall in the Collegio in
Rome. As material was added more space was acquired.
Soon it became necessary for Kircher to hire several
assistant custodians. Best known of these was Giorgio
de Sepi, author of this first account of the museum.
Its arrangement is in accordance with the physical
outlay of the collection and it describes and illustrates
Egyptian and classical artifacts, musical instruments,
plants, grasses, insects, preserved animals and birds,
some minerals and petrifications scientific instruments
including early lighting devices. The remarkable
engraved title page provides a unique view of the
museum's interior at its greatest period. At intervals
along the center of the long hall were free standing
statuary and models of Egyptian obelisks, with shelving
along one wall to accommodate pottery and other
artifacts. Glass display cases held the smaller or fragile
specimens along the opposite wall. Space above the
cases was reserved for paintings, preserved animals,
weapons, and scientific apparatus. The high ceiling was
decorated with paintings of the constellations and the
signs of the zodiac. A large Nile crocodile is also seen
suspended, perhaps inspiring FERRANTE iMPERATO's
own display. Near the hall's entrance, a human
skeleton appears to great visitors. Several visitors are
depicted with Kircher himself proudly showing off the
collection. Other plates in the book illustrate the
Sanskrit and Chinese alphabets, Eygyptian obelisks,
various scientific principles, and mechanical apparatus.
Text illustrations show a wide variety of animals, coins,
a compass(?) and water wheel.

RARE. Catalog of a royal collection formed
by Prince Ignazio Paterno Castello de Biscari [1719-
1786]. It contained artificial and natural items
from throughout Europe, plus a remarkable suite
of specimens from Sicily. It was probably the
southernmost Wunderkarnmer in Europe containing
scientific instruments, optical devices, suites of armor,
edged weapons and firearms, costumes, textiles,
minerals and figured stones, natural history specimens,
an important collection of coins and medals, sculptures
and antiquities. Goethe was impressed by a visit in
1787 by the amber and ivory contained in the cabinet.
The preface is signed Giovanni Mariti.
There is some question as to which city this book
was published. Some sources say Florence while others
give Livorno.

RARE. Edited by C. Giorgi. This revised edition,
printed in the same year as the Prince's death, contains
a new preface describing the interior of the palace and a
detailed plan showing the layout of the collections within
the galleries.
Goethe provides an interesting first-hand account of
a visit to the museum in his Italian Journey. After visiting
the main gallery with its collection of marble and bronze
statues and vases, he was shown the coin collection, which
was usually off limits due to theft. Then Goethe was
escorted to the inner chambers to view a glass cabinet
containing the collection of amber. Contained there were
vessels, cups, urns and other things carved from it. In
addition, there were also some exceptional carved ivories.

SEVERGIN, Vasiliï Mikhaïlovich. (Born: St.
Petersburg, Russia, 19 September 1765; DIED: St.
Petersburg, Russia, 29 November 1826) Russian
mineralogist, geologist, chemist & physicist.
Son of a court musician, Severgin was admitted to
the private Gymnasium of the St. Petersburg Academy
of Sciences in 1776. He matriculated at the Academy's
University in 1784 choosing mineralogy as his speciality.
In 1785, he travelled to Göttingen to study under J.F.
Gmelin. There he became involved in the controversy
between the neptunists and the plutonists. Upon returning
to St. Petersburg in 1789, he was appointed an adjunct in
the department of mineralogy of the Academy of Science.
In that post, Severgin began a long and influenial career in
the teaching of science in Russia generally and especially
mineralogy. He examined minerals from a chemical basis
which followed Lavorsier's theories. This was sustained
by his numerous publications, which appeared throughout
his lifetime. Besides Severgin's mineralogical writings,
he also published translations of European works on
metallurgy, chemistry and physics. In 1804, he founded
industrioso
(Dertonas,
Severgin
the Teknologichcsky Zhurnal (Technological Journal), which
he also edited until 1824. Severgin was also a founding
member of the Mineralogical Society of St. Petersburg.

Rare. Based on Lavoisier's new chemistry, this
work served as Russia's chief advanced mineralogy
text. It was published in an edition of 1200 copies
and became Russia's chief textbook for the next 30
years. The book abounded in information about the
chemical characters of rocks and minerals, but because
of the embryonic nature of chemical analysis, the nature
and quality of the entries was uneven. To promote
chemical mineralogy, Severgin's introduction included
a summary description of the techniques, instruments
and objectives of the chemical method.
Kurochkin writes that Severgin's Foundations of
Mineralogy was "the first textbook written in Russian
on the subject. Besides describing minerals and
rocks, Severgin classified petrifications as "simple" or
"complex." Among the former were marble, jasper,
and flint (quartz), which lack foreign particles. He
gave detailed descriptions of the physical and chemical
properties of minerals, developing "wet" methods of
analysis as well as methods using the blowpipe." Also in
this work, Severgin was the first to formerly recognize
what he called "contiguity of minerals," but what is
today called mineral paragensis.

RARE. At the beginning of the nineteenth century,
Severgin undertook several journeys through European
Russia. In 1802, Severgin made several extended trips
to the Urals. In his Notes of a Journey through the
Western Provinces of the Russian State he describes
the mineral resources he encountered, including the
minerals, mines, and refining and fabrication methods.
He also describes other potential mineral deposits. The
work was successful and in 1803 Severgin continued his
travels, which were published as a Continuation and
second volume of this book.

Rare. This work brings together and systematizes
data on the mineral resources of Finland, then a
territory of the Russian empire. The success of the
author's description of the western provinces prompted
his survey in 1804 of Russia Finland and Estonia. His
observations are preserved in this volume that highlight
the minerals, mines and manufacturing of the region.

RARE. Detailed Adineralogical Dictionary is one of
Severgin's best linguistic contributions to mineralogical
science. But it was more than a mere dictionary. It
was an alphabetically arranged mineralogical handbook
listing all known minerals, their localities in Russia and
elsewhere, their agricultural and industrial uses, and
their identifying external, crystallographic and chemical
features. It was also the first through account of
crystallographic analysis in Russia recounting HaÜY's
methods. In it Severgin emphasized the determinative
value of crystalline forms, translated lengthy sections
from Haüy's Traite, described the techniques of angular
measurements and reproduced Haüy's complex charts
of angular variations and crystalline forms.
In this two volume mineralogical dictionary Tome
I covers A to L and Tome II, M to Z.

Rare. Kurochkin writes "The mineral collections
of the Institute of Mines, the Free Economics Society,
and the many St. Petersburg amateur collectors, as well
as his personal collection, served Severgin as material
for ... An Attempt at the Mineralogical Description of
the Territory of the Russian State. The first volume, a
physical-geographical survey, describes structures and
lithology as well as the hydrographie network. The
second volume deals with the geographical distribution
of minerals."

RARE. This is Severgin's systematic treatment
of mineralogy, following primarily WERNER., but
incorporating the methods of HaÜY. It lists all
Latin, German, and French as well as Russian
synonyms and represented his chief contributions to
the standardization of mineralogical nomenclature in
Russia.

VERY SCARCE. Although largely unknown, this
is a valuable dictionary of chemical and mineralogical
nomenclature. It was written at a time when vast
changes were being proposed in mineralogical and
chemical naming conventions. The chemistry text is
derived from the latest advances in chemistry and
consists of three principle sections: old names versus
modern, modern names versus old and modern names
versus Latin names. The section on mineralogical
nomenclaturehas two sections corresponding to the first
two of the chemistry section.

SHEPARD, Charles Upham. (Born: Little Compton,
Rhode Island, U.S.A., 29 June 1804; DIED: Charleston,
South Carolina, U.S.A., 1 May 1886) American
mineralogist.
Shepard was born the son of a congregational
minister. He studied at Brown University in 1820-
21, and in 1824 graduated from Amherst. He then
studied for a while with Thomas Nuttall [1786-1859] before
becoming assistant to Benjamin Silliman [1 779-1864] at
Yale. Shepard was a lecturer on natural history at Yale
from 1830 to 1847. He also became a professor of chemistry
and natural history at Amherst in 1835, a post he held
until 1852. From 1834 to 1861, Shepard was professor
of chemistry at the Medical College of Charleston, South
Shepard
Carolina. Shepard was a member of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences, the societies of natural science at
St. Petersburg and Vienna, as well as the Royal Society of
Göttingen. His publications were in mineralogy, chemistry
and geology, with most of his papers being published in
the American Journal of Science. Much manuscript material
is in the Amherst College library. At the age of fifteen,
Shepard began to collect minerals and meteorites. He
carried this collection first to Brown University and then
to Amherst. There he became a student of Amos Eaton
[1776-1842], who inspired Shepard to visit various mineral
localities. Subsequently, he made expeditions throughout
the U.S. east of Mississippi and discovered a number of
new species. Collecting of pink and green tourmalines
from Paris, Maine and rutile from Georgia made it possible
for him to build a large and important mineral collection
through exchanges with European collections. Although in
1881, a major portion of the collection was destroyed in
a fire at Amherst, at the time of his death 5 years later,
Shepard's collection of minerals was said to be the largest
in America, and certainly one of the best in the world. It
was donated to Amherst by his son.

VERY SCARCE. After the two editions of
Cleaveland, the next comprehensive mineralogical work
published in America was Shepard's Treatise. Based
partly on the plan of FREDERICK MOHS and partly
on original research, this work treats mineralogy as
a separate study in natural history. It is innovative
in separating its subject from other topics formerly
regarded as belonging to it and defining precisely the
terms it applies to mineralogical science. The work
is separated into five parts. Volume one contains
the first four, while volume two holds the last part.
Terminology, described in part one, is divided into
3 divisions. The first applying to simple minerals
embraces the geometrical properties of minerals such as
crystallography, cleavage, fracture, surface appearance
and double refraction. The second division which
refers to compound minerals, describes twin crystals,
groups and géodes of crystals, imitative shapes of
crystals, and pseudomorphs. Division three describes
the properties common to both simple and compound
minerals. These are divided into optical and physical.
The former consists of luster, color and transparency
while the later covers aggregation, hardness, specific
gravity, magnetism, electricity, taste and odor. Special
attention is given here to describing Mohs scale of
hardness and its derivation because this property
plays an important role in the Classification and
Characteristic sections of the work described below.
The second part covering Classification, describes the
theoretical part of the science. It fixes the idea of
species, and discusses the generalities of classification.
After briefly explaining the differences between artificial
and natural classification schemes, Shepard introduces
his artificial method. Rooted in the principals of Mohs,
it derives classes and orders as follows: "1. Minerals
possessed of regular forms; 2. Minerals yielding regular
forms only by cleavage; 3. Minerals destitute of regular
forms, and not affording them by cleavage. The first
may be termed the Crystallized class, the second the
Semi— crystallized class, and the third the Uncrystallized
class." The first two classes are divided into orders
by their different systems of crystallization, or primary
forms. The third is divided into three orders, depending
upon if the contents are solid, liquid or gaseous. The
arrangement of the species in each order is in a series
according upon the property of hardness, unless the
species is liquid or gaseous in which event the classifier
is specific gravity. Part three describes the purpose of
Nomenclature in mineralogy. It divides the subject into
systematic and trivial components, and concludes that
in mineralogy only a trivial nomenclature should be
applied. This is because minerals do not propagate their
kinds like living species and therefore, no systematic
treatment of names could be used to distinguish the
different minerals. Completing the first volume is part
four the Characteristic. This section describes the
properties that can be used to identify a specimen
in hand and relate it back to the classification and
ultimately it proper name. For example, is the mineral
crystallized? Such a property is the characteristic of
the class. Is the system of crystallization a cube?
Such an observation finds the order. Determining the
specimens hardness narrows it to usually two or three
species. Finally, determining the specific gravity of the
specimen theoretically provides the last trait needed to
look up the aforementioned properties in the provided
tables and determine the name of the species. An
interesting feature of these tables is that all species
thus far found in America are specifically marked. In
1835 was published the second part of the Treatise,
bound in two volumes and containing the five part,
Physiography. This is a descriptive mineralogy, with
the species arranged alphabetically so as to be more
useful for students employing Shepard's Characteristic
to locate a detailed descriptions of specific minerals. In

addition, two tables are presented. The first outlines a
natural history classification and the second presents
a chemical scheme. The descriptions of the species
are valuable for giving details of American localities,
many of which the author had personally visited, and
which have long since been exhausted. Numerous
well executed figures mostly of crystals are scattered
throughout the text, adding to the value of the work.
This edition is rare in complete sets.

VERY SCARCE. This is the second edition of the
first part of the Treatise by Shepard published in 1832
with some additional information added to the table of
the species. It also is the cause of some bibliographical
confusion, because a portion of this edition was bound
up with the slightly appended descriptive mineralogy of
the first issues (1835). The author gives the following
explanation for this occurrence: "In giving the characters
of the species (p. 106 to the end), I have appended (within
parentheses) to each, the most interesting information of
various kinds, which has been brought forward since 1835,
with a view to supply the principal deficiency which the use
of the treatise might occasion to such as wish to employ
it, in connection with my general work on descriptive
mineralogy of that date." [Advertisement to the new
edition of the Introduction]. Shepard has continued within
this introduction to follow the principals of FREDERICK
MOHS in relation to the determinations and arrangement of
the minerals. This was a natural method of classification
that many mineralogies had followed, including JAMES
DwiGHT DANA in his System of Mineralogy, the second
edition of which had been published a few months prior to
Shepard's. However, the anonymous (Benjamin Silliman,
Jr.?) review of Shepard's Treatise in the American Journal
of Science takes the author to task for still adhering to this
method and not adopting the seemingly more appropriate
chemical scheme: "Chemical evidence has therefore with
him no decisive weight, unless it is corroborative of natural
history characters." The inability for Shepard to accept
the chemical approach inevitably lead to his Treatise being
overshadowed by other works.

VERY SCARCE. The first part concerns theoretical
aspects, dividing the science into five sections. First, there
is a description of the terminology used in the science.
Second comes the theoretical structure of the classification,
while the third explains the objectives of the nomenclature
used in the system. The fourth section derives the
characteristics used to distinguish minerals within the
theoretical framework, while the five explains the nature
of physiography, or the actual placing of minerals into
the system. The second part contains descriptions of the
minerals arranged in the classification scheme outlined in
part one of the Treatise. The descriptions are complemented
by 725 fine drawings, mostly of crystals. Appendices at
the end arrange the mineral names according to their
chemistry and to the natural history method. Also of
interest are descriptions of Shepard's mineralogical and
meteoric collections. Part one of this volume was published
in 1852, although no reference is made to this on the title
page which lists 1857 as its published date.

SHERLEY, Thomas. (BORN: Westminster, England,
1638; DIED: London, England(?), 5 August 1678)
English physician.
Sherley (or Shirley) was the grandson of the
adventurer Sir Thomas Shirley [1564-1630?]. He studied
medicine in France, before returning to England where he
quickly became a success. He became physician in ordinary
to Charles II, and in 1675 was imprisioned by the House
of Commons for appealing to the House of Lords against
a member whom they had declared exempt from lawsuits
during session.

RARE. Describes the origin and supposed causes
of the formation of stones in the earth and in living
things. Sherley sets forth and develops at length the
thesis that all stones and metals have seeds from which
they grow, as in the two other kingdoms of nature like
botany and animals. The seed is invisible, but is often
present in vapors that rise from the center of the earth.

Philosophical Essay, 1672
His ideas are based upon ancient traditions, principally
Aristotlian philosophy. Sherley speculates that the
stones are created from the interaction of water with
external pressures and condensed from seeds. All bodies
are originally meer water, which by the means of the
proper seeds is coagulated, condensed and brought into
various forms. The seeds cause the praticles of water to
be altered in both texture and shape, corresponding to
the figure of the seed.

VERY SCARCE. A vast compilation on every
topic that might be related to the enviorment around
Derybshire, England. Although the work primarily
concerns the waters of the area and what minerals
they contain, the work is typical of the period as
it contains meterological, population, and agricultural
records. The plates show crystals of the salts of 34 of
the waters.
The author's impressive scientific examination of
over 30 water sources in England. Short (1690-1772),
eminent Sheffield physician and master of Gronville and
Caius Colleges at Cambridge, was the first to attempt
to systematize mineral water analysis. He discusses the
topical and internal application of the waters for such
afflictions as rheumatism and gout, fevers, and diabetes.
A discourse on bathing records the temperatures of
warm and cold water baths from Carlisle to Oxford.
The fine engravings illustrate mineral crystals from
numerous water sources.

"Tabulas Л2пеээ" [^explanation of plates].; [1 pg], "Lectori
Benevolo."
PLATES: The 23 plates show plants, fossil leaves, fish,
a ship, birds, insects, claws, and crystallization. Included is
one figuring a coat-of-arrns that is not called for in the list
of plates. The first plate is engraved by Geo. Maine, while
three others are signed Jo. Reid. The plates (which have
the usual rather amateur look about the printing) figure
some 15 birds, including a puffin, a barnacle goose and the
first of a loon.
SCARCE. Written by command of Charles 11
who appointed Sibbald as his natural historian and
geographer for Scotland (he was also his appointed
physician), this is the first comprehensive work on the
natural history of Scotland. The text is divided into
sections covering the climate, geography, epidemiology
and folk medicine, flora, fauna, and mineralogy, with
historical and contemporary references relating to them.
The first is a prodromus on the natural history of
Scotland, with special attention paid to folk medicine.
The second section describes the plants and horticulture
of the region. Included is an alphabetical catalog
of the plants contained in the botanical gardens of
Edinburgh. Section three provides information on the
native and domestic animals of Scotland, while the
final section pertains to the mineralogy of the country.
Included here are descriptions with location information
of minerals used in medicine including earths, salts,
sulphur, bitumen. Other material covers stones in
general, marble, metals, semi-metals, petrifications,
marine fossils, etc.

VERY RARE. This work describes the natural
history collection that Sir Robert Sibbald presented
to the University of Edinburgh in 1697. Included
in the gift were items inherited by Sibbald from Sir
Andrew Balfour [see note below] in 1694. The text was
prepared by Sibbald and published at the expense of
the University. It is divided into four parts. The first
(p. 19-72) covers stones, fossils, minerals, corals, metals,
semi-metals, petrifications, etc. The second (p. 73-112)
describes the plants, herbs, vegetables, etc. The third
is split into two sections. The first of these (p. 113-
178) describes the common animals and shells, while
the second (p. 179-198) provides information on the
poisonous animals, such as snakes, various fish, lizards,
etc. Finally, artificial creations (p. 199-216) are covered.
Included in this part are coins, manuscripts and mostly
books. Soon after the collection was donated it was
entirely dissipated (Wilson).
Andrew Balfour. (BORN: Balfour Castle, Denmiln,
Fifeshire, Scotland, 18 January 1630; DIED: Edinburgh,
Scotland, 10 January 1694) Scottish physician & botanist.
Balfour was educated at St. Andrews and Oxford, finally
receiving his M.D. from Caen in 1661. He practised
medicine successively in London, St. Andrews, and
Edinburgh. Together with Robert Sibbald he founded the
Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh. He authored several titles
on botanical subjects.

Indies, Central America, Panama, and Mexico. In 1867 he
was placed at the head of a French commission charged
to study the laying out of the Pacific railroad and the
preliminary surveys, and in his report greatly praised the
work.

coal-mining, metal-mining and the mining of precious
stones. Simonin also includes sections on mining in
America with a map of the sites along Lake Superior and
one of California-Nevada. Perhaps the most notable
part of this work is its attempt to represent mining life
graphically. The many excellent text illustrations are
engravings depicting mining techniques and conditions
in the mines. A number of the illustrations show details
of equipment ranging from drill bits to elevators to
miner lamps. A long chapter discusses and pictures
various mining accidents. Altogether a very interesting
work of broad scope.

SlNKANKAS, John. (BORN: Paterson, New Jersey,
U.S.A., 15 May 1915; DlED: San Diego, California,
U.S.A., 17 May 2002) American author, mineralogist
& gemologist.
Sinkankas was born to Lithuanian immigrant parents,
who had come to America to escape the Tsarist regime.
The famous traprock quarries in the vicinity of his
hometown led to his youthful interest in minerals and
eventually to a lifelong interest in mineralogy. In 1936,
after graduation from college, he fulfilled a longtime desire
to fly by enlisting in the U.S. Navy for flight training. His
military career lasted until 1961 at which time he retired
in the rank of Captain, U.S. Navy. However, at the end
of World War II, Sinkankas began correspondence courses
with the Gemological Institute of America. During this
period through self- instruction he began faceting gems and
writing numerous articles for various journals. This lead
to his constructing specialized equipment to facet giant
stones that are still among the very finest large gems ever
created and are on display at the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington. In 1971, with his wife Marjorie, he founded
and operates an antiquarian earth science book selling
business named Peri Lithon Books after Theophrastus'
treatise. Sinkankas has popularized mineralogy and
gemology through numerous articles and important books
(see: Gemology, an Annotated Bibliography for a complete
list). In recognition of his numerous contributions, he has
received many awards. The mineral "Sinkankasite" was
named in his honor in 1985.

VERY SCARCE. The first complete and annotated
bibliography in the field of gemology. Previous
to this work, the bibliography of gemology was
only done in piecemeal fashion. However, this
master bibliography brings into one reference 7,458
entries related to gemology, printed in all Western
languages, together with major works printed in other
languages. Most entries are described completely,
with critical notes about the historical significance
of the author and their work. Coverage includes
books, journals, articles, pamphlets, auction catalogs,
technical documents of the United States and other
governments, reprints, publicity booklets, sales catalogs
and other documents that extend the knowledge of
gemology. Fully annotated, the bibliography also
contains extensive biographical information on both the
famous and almost forgotten authors in the history of
gemology. Many entries have a useful commentary on
the quality and significance of the work. Complete
descriptive bibliography information is provided for
most entries, including title, collation, pagination,
size, contents listing and known repositories. The
library upon which this bibliography was largely based
was acquired in 1988 by the Gemological Institute
of America in Carlsbad, California. Because of the
close relationship between gemology and mineralogy,
Sinkankas' remarkable reference has frequently been
cited in this Biobibliography and hence its happy
inclusion, even though it was published well after the
normal cut of date of 1920.

engineer.
Sjögren studied in Lund from 1842 and took his Ph.
D. 1847. Made a mining carrier and worked as blabla in
the the A and В ore-fields in Värmland, the province where
he also was "bergmästare" until retiring 1889. Sjögren,
like Igelström, was one of the pioneers in describing the
minerals from the Långban type deposits, and published
more than 20 articles on the subject.

RARE. Sloane's most important published work
containing "the earliest representations of the flora and
fauna of Jamaica and neighbouring islands" (Hunt).
Physician, scientist, botanist and collector of note, Sir
Hans Sloane went to the West Indies in 1687, staying for
15 months as physician to the Governor of Jamaica, the
Duke of Albemarle. Sloane returned to England with
800 dried specimens of plants for his herbarium. Vänder
Gucht's plates were worked up from drawings of these
plants by Everhard Kickius \fl. 1701-1705]. The text
leaves are mounted on guards. Sloane was interested in
all aspects of the natural history of Jamaica including

Sohncke's was the son of a university mathematician,
and was introduced at an early age to the study.
During his studies at the University of Königsberg, F.
NEUMANN introduced him to the studies of mineralogy
and crystallography. In 1866, he received his Ph.D. in
physics. He was appointed to a position at the Technische
Hochschule in Karlsruhe. In 1883, Sohncke accepted a
similar position at the University of Jena, and in 1886 he
became professor of physics at the Technische Hochschule
in Munich, where he remained until his death. By
several accounts, Sohncke was an outstanding teacher, who
inspired his students in their studies. He was also interested
in the flight of Arial balloons, and administrated a Munich
society that encouraged this activity.

Krystallstruktur, which derived the extension of the
lattice theory of AUGUSTE BR.AVAISto arrive at sixty-five
of the 230 possible space groups. The fourteen Bravais
lattices described only seven of the possible thirty-two
classes of external symmetry. Just how the chemical
atoms were arranged within the unit cells formed by the
space lattice remained a matter of speculation, however.
In his studies of internal symmetry, Sohncke realized
that previous investigators had looked upon internal
symmetry from a completely external orientation.
They had imposed, as a condition of their symmetry,
translational equivalence, and Sohncke saw that this
restriction was not justifiable. Inasmuch as symmetry is
defined as the equivalence of internal configurations, it
is of no consequence whether the direction of one's view
has been altered in being transported from one point to
another within an object. Thus Sohncke insisted that
the view of the system of points is the same from every
point and that it need not be a parallel view.
Sohncke eventually arrived at sixty— six different
spatial arrangements of points by introducing two new
symmetry elements (this number was reduced in 1888
to 65 when two of the elements were shown to be
equivalent). The first was the screw axis, in which a
rotation around an axis is combined with a translation
of the system along the axis. The second was the
glide plane, in which the reflection in a mirror plane
is combined with a similar translation without rotation
along the axis. However, Sohncke failed to consider
two additional symmetry elements of the thirty— two
classes of external symmetry: rotation— reflection and
rotation— inversion axes. Their inclusion by EVGRAF
Stepanovich Fyodorov and almost simultaneously by
Arthur. Schoenflies and William Barlow in the late
1880's added the additional 165 space groups, for the
actual total of 230 space groups. It was Sohncke's
work as published in Die Entwicklung einer Theorie der
Krystallstruktur that placed these later researchers on
the correct path.

SOKOLOV, Dmitrii Ivanovich. (BORN: St. Peters-
burg, Russia, 1788; DIED: St. Peterburg, Russia, 1 De-
cember 1852) Russian geologist and mineralogist.
After the death of his father in 1796, Sokolov was
sent to the preparatory class of the St. Petersburg Mining
School, from which he graduated in 1805. After graduation,
he worked for a time as an assayer in the Academy's
laboratory, and then he began giving lectures first in
metallurgy and assaying and later in geognosy and mining.
Soon, a position as a permenant instructor of the Academy
was offered and accepted. Sokolov retained the job until
1841. From 1822 until 1844, he also held a professorship
at the University of St. Petersburg. He was a founder
and the first editor of the Gornyi Zhurnal (Mining Journal),
which was one of the first specialized periodicals published
in Russia. The principal geographical work Sokolov is
remembered for relates to grouping the red stratigraphie
beds of the Trans— Volga Region into its own independent
system, which was named "Permian" in 1841 by Sir
Roderick Murchison [1792—1871]. Sokolov was a founding
member of the St. Petersburg MiNERALOGiCAL Society in
1817, and he was also elected to the Russian Academy of
Science in 1839.

TRANSLATED TITLE: Handbook on mineralogy with
additional statistical data on the most important salts and
metals.
VERY SCARCE. Sokolov's Handbook of Mineral-
ogy is an important contribution to the chemical clas-
sification of minerals. An early career as an assayer
allowed Sokolov to view the classification problem of
minerals in a new way. He was a strong advocate of the
atomistic concept, and believed that the physical prop-
erties of minerals depended upon the internal structure
of the atoms. Therefore, Sokolov placed the primary
importance for classification upon a mineral's chemical
composition and classified minerals according to their
cations. By grouping minerals with similar properties
under this arrangement, he outlined in rough terms a
natural ordering of atomic properties that foreshadowed
Mendeleev's periodic system.
Of secondary importance were the physical prop-
erties of minerals. These, Sokolov correctly reasoned,
were the manifestation of the chemical structure. Thus
crystallography, color, luster, hardness, cleavage, etc.
although mentioned throughout his classification are
used primarily for the actual determination of the min-
eral species rather than its placement within the sys-
tem. For the time, this was a remarkable idea consider-
ing natural history methods of classification were then
predominant throughout Europe and America.

TRANSLATED TITLE: Supplement to mineralogy
published in 1832.
VERY SCARCE. This Supplement to Mineralogy was
written to extend and update Sokolov's previous Handbook
of Mineralogy (St. Petersburg, 1832). In this volume,
Sokolov pointed out the similarity of the newly discovered
mineral "Rhodizite" to the species boracite, and writes: "It
is probable that ... magnesia has been partially replaced
by lithia and that this is in agreement with its occurrence
in lithium tourmaline, in one deposit with lithium mica"
(Povarennykh).

EXTREMELY RARE. The Roman Solinus compiled
a geography about the third century. He initially
called his first manuscript De Mirabilibus Mundi (The
Wonders of the World). Later he changed the name
to Collectanea. Rerum Memorabilium (Collection of
Curiosities) that contains a broad description of the
ancient world, with many remarks on the natural
history, religion, and social issues of his time. Solinus
does not name his sources, but the greater part of
the text, which is arranged on a geographical plan, is
mainly derived from Pliny's Natural History and the
Choreographia (Geography) of Pomponius Mela.
Solinus begins his work with a very valuable
section that gives a description of the mythical
prehistory of the establishment of the Roman Republic
by Romulus after the Etruscan rulers were conquered.
He continues the history to the time of Augustus. A

Polyhistor, 1473
general treatise on humanity follows that treats the
peoples of Italy, Greece, Germania, Gallica, Britannia,
and Hispânia, the last also has details of northern
Africa. Asia, Arabia, Egypt, Syria, the Near East,
and India are also described. The author wanted
to maintain the readers attention and therefore paid
special attention to the peculiarities of the people and
places discussed. Solinus peppers his commentary with
anecdotal information about the land, animals, plants,
and minerals of the various regions. Descriptions of
several dozen precious stones, which come from Pliny,
are interspersed throughout the work with placement
under the countries where the stones are supposed to
be found. Later, in the sixth century, these stones
would be collected together again by Isidore of Seville
for inclusion in Book XVI of his Etymologiae.
A revised version of the original text appeared
in the sixth century. This version includes at the
start a letter purportedly from Solinus that acts as an
introduction. In it, the work is awkwardly renamed
Polyhistor seu de Mirabilibus Mundi (Multi-History of
the Wonders of the World). Throughout the Middle
Ages both versions of the text circulated widely and in
some cases 'Polyhistor' was taken for the author's name.
The broad sweep of its coverage made it a popular
manual of its subject, and as a result the book had
tremendous influence during the Middle Ages, being,
for example, a principle source for Isidore of Seville.
An important commentary on this work by Claude
de Saumaise appeared in his PHnianae Exercitationes
(1689). The best edition edited by Th. Mommsen was
published in 1895; it contains a valuable introduction to
the extant manuscripts, the authorities used by Solinus,
and the subsequent compilers.

Rare. As a self-taught amateur, Soulavie was
widely read. He developed an interest in mineralogy
and geology, and began exploring in the 1770's the
volcanic regions around Vivarais and Velay. In this
work, he begins by developing the commonly held idea
that most sedimentary formations were deposited by a
gradually shrinking ocean, he then goes on to develop
the principle of superposition, first outlined in 1669
by Steno. Soulavie then attempts to correlate the
individual rock strata with the fossils they contain,
arguing that the oldest layers must contain the most
extinct species, while newer layers should contain
analogs of living creatures. He attempts to work
this chronology for the area around Vivarais. These
observations are then expressed in geological maps of
his own design.

Reeve's Popular Natural History Manuals series.
This is the first work to use chromo— lithography to
illustrate mineral specimens. In the preliminaries,
Sowerby describes the distribution of minerals, a
mineral collecting trip to Cumberland, the forming of
collections, and the character of minerals. This is
followed by the largest section of the text that describes
the minerals pictured on the plates. Finally, an index, a
list of plates and a glossary of terms conclude the work.
Although rather crude in execution, the renderings
of the species on the plates are for the most part
recognizable.

SOWERBY, James. (BORN: London, England, 21
March 1757; DIED: Lambeth, England, 25 October
1822) English artist & naturalist.
Born the son of a lapidary who worked and lived
in Fleet-street, Sowerby showed an artistic ability in his
childhood. He became a student at the Royal Academy
were he studied under the seascape artist Richard Wright
[1735-1775]. He painted miniatures and portraits during
his early career, and from a desire to make his backgrounds
more realistic, Sowerby began a study of botany. Soon he
became associated with the botanist William Curtis [1746-
1779], who helped Sowerby become an expert illustrator
of plants. From this relationship, Sowerby developed his
principle publication, English Botany (36 vols., London,
1790-1813). Sowerby's memberships include the Geological
Society, Royal Society and the Linnean Society all of
London.

VERY SCARCE. British Mineralogy is most noted
for its 550 engraved, hand— colored plates that depict
the mineral wealth of Great Britain. Each plate is
accompanied by descriptive letterpress that explains the
pictured minerals in a casual style of someone who knew
and appreciated minerals.
Due to an earlier success with his English Botany
(36 vols., London, 1790-1813; 2,592 hand colored
plates), Sowerby was undoubtedly trying to continue
his prosperity by issuing other illustrated works in
the natural sciences. It was only proper that he
should venture into mineralogy which had become a
very popular pastime among the wealthier classes, and
around 1791 most notably with Sowerby himself. So
in 1802 Sowerby began to publish by subscription an
illustrated topographical mineralogy of Great Britain.
The product of this venture is British Mineralogy,
which contains the largest number of plates and
some of the finest examples of hand— colored mineral
illustration ever produced. During the years of its
publication the mines of England were producing ores
from some of the most richly mineralized deposits
yet discovered; subsequently, many notable mineral
specimens, including several unsurpassed examples of
some species, were discovered and preserved. Sowerby
sought out these unusually fine specimens and together
with more typical examples, described and illustrated
them in British Mineralogy, thereby creating an
illustrated collector's compendium of the minerals of
Great Britain that has never been superceded.
British Mineralogy was originally issued in 78
parts, called numbers, between 1802 and 1817. Conklin
(1995) reproduces the sequence that these parts
appeared. Periodically, after a sufficent number of
plates had been produced (usually 100), the individual
subscribers would have the volumes bound up to suit
their tastes. As a result, this work, though most
commonly found in five volumes, is also known in four
and six volume sets, and in one copy, ten volumes, which
split the text and plates into separate books.

VERY SCARCE. As the title states, Exotic
Mineralogy was intended to supplement Sowerby 's other
great mineralogical work, British Mineralogy; however,
perhaps due to a lack of interest in the mineralogy of
localities outside Great Britain, there appear to have
been far fewer subscribers to Exotic Mineralogy. The
result is these two volumes are exceptionally rare.
Exotic Mineralogy is chiefly noted for its engraved,
hand— colored plates, which are among the most realistic
mineral depictions ever produced by Sowerby. In
preparing the illustrations for this work, Sowerby sought
out the best examples of minerals not then known
in Great Britain. Weighted by a high quality in the
models, the plates in Exotic Mineralogy are overall
more appealing than those of British Mineralogy, whose
purpose was to depict examples of every known type
of mineral found in Great Britain — not simply prime
examples.
Even though the plates of Exotic Mineralogy are
numbered through 169, plate 73 was not always issued
in section; therefore, a complete copy of the work
contains only 168 plates. A note on the wrapper to the
13th section, which was to have contained the missing
plate states, "It was intended to have published the
Turquois in Tab. 73, but it has been found necessary
to postpone that plate." In fact, plate 93 figuring
turquois is the postponed plate with the seven clearly
over— engraved into a nine in some printings.

systematic order. As a remedy, A Catalogue of British
Minerals was published in 1819 as a kind of appendix,
to be used in making out labels for specimens in mineral
collections. For each species listed, a reference is given
to its plate in either the British or Exotic Mineralogies.

naturalist.
Started from the father on the studies lawyers, it
attended the University of Bologna, showing however
greater propensione for the naturalistic studies. Here it
had between Low its teaching Laura. Clergyman, after to
have taught to Reggio Emilia and to Modena, obtained
in the 1769 Natural History chair to the University of
Pavia, instruction that maintained until death. Its work
remains tied to experiences and discoveries of exceptional
importance, that they carried in the first place to deny the
spontaneous generation in the infusorial ones. It discovered
moreover the gastric juice, compi remarkable studies on the
fecondazione and admitted for via experiences them the
existence of the respiratory gaseous exchanges in the blood.
It carried out numerous travels, between those celebratesto
Costantinopoli (1785-86) and in Two Sicilie (1788), during
which it realized also important observations in geologic
within. Much remarkable also its studies on the respiration.

VERY SCARCE. First Edition of Spallanzani's
first important scientific work, a landmark in the
history of biology. G-M 100 (first dissertation). In
the first dissertation, entitled Saggio di osservazioni
microscopiche concernenti il sistema delia generazione
de' Signori di Needham e Buffon, Spallanzani disproved
Buffon and Needham's claim that the microorganisms
found in various plant and animal infusions were
spontaneously generated from decomposed organic
matter. Spallanzani brilliantly employed the same
experimental method that Pasteur would use a century
later: "In hundreds of experiments he tested various
rituals for rendering infusions permanently barren and
finally found that they remained free of microorganisms
when put into flasks that were hermetically sealed and
the contents boiled for one hour. The entrance of
air into the flask through a slight crack in its neck
was followed by proliferating infusoria. His masterful
essay, dedicated to the Bologna Academy of Sciences
. . . reported no spontaneous generation in strongly
heated infusions protected from aerial contamination"
(DSB). Spallanzani was one of the first to dispute
the spontaneous generation of microorganisms, but it
took another hundred years-and the repetition of his

experiments by Pasteur-before his conclusions were
finally accepted. Spallanzani's second dissertation,
entitled De lapidibus ab aqua resilientibus, gives a
physico-mathematical explanation of the mechanism of
stone-skipping on water. It is dedicated to his cousin
Laura Bassi, professor of physics and mathematics at
the University of Bologna, who had been Spallanzani's
teacher.

VERY SCARCE. Of considerable rarity this
fascinating account of Spallanzani's journeys to
southern Italy to investigate the recent intense volcanic
and seismic activities. Spallanzani (1729-99), "was
the first who applied experimental methods to the
elucidation of volcanic rock- structure... His descriptions
and observations of volcanic regions surpass in scientific
accuracy and completeness all previous contributions of
the kind, and have secured a permanent place in the
literature of scientific travel." (Zittel)
In the six volumes of the Travels to the Two
Sicilie and in some you leave of the Appennino, Lazzaro
Spallanzani offers a contribution of great relief to the
development of the volcanology. To surveyings carried
out directly on active voléanos of southern Italy (in
particular in the Aeolian Islands and on the Etna)
it places side by side to the analyses chemistries in
laboratory and the tests of fusion on the collected
champions. This will allow it, between the other, to
interpret with exactitude the process of formation of
the pomici.
Edition originates them, dedicated to the conte
of Wilzeck of this most important relation of the last
great travels completed from the Spallanzani. In it
the observations that it collected in its travels to the
Vesúvio, to the Etna, the Lipari islands, to Stromboli
and Messina, let alone to the Euganei Necks and on
the modenese and reggiano Appennino are re-united all.
The author demonstrates also to a being worth geologist
and vulcanologo here. The sixth volume, printed in
1797 like appendix, s' intito it Pamphlets over various
animals and contains eight monographys over species
of rondini, the nocturnal bird called Strix Scops and
over the eels of Comacchio. To notice beautiful and
interesting the 11 tables outside text recorded in branch.

VERY SCARCE. This book is of particular interest in
the field of vulcanology as it is primarily concerned with
the volcanoes of Sicily. "Lazzaro Spallanzani, distinguished
eighteenth-century scientist, b. at Scadiano in Modena,
Italy, 10 January, 1729; d. at Pavia, 12 February, 1799.
His early education was received at the Jesuit College of
Reggio. His scientific career began at the University of
Bologna under the inspiration of his cousin, Laura Bassi,
the famous woman professor of natural philosophy and
mathematics. He gave up the study of law and was
ordained a priest; at twenty-five he became professor of
logic, metaphysics, and Greek in the University of Reggio.
His favourite authors were Homer, Demosthenes, and St.
Basil, and his work attracted so much attention that he was
offered chairs at Coimbra (Portugal), Parrna, and Cesena
(Italy). He preferred a chair at Modena (1760) and devoted
all his spare time to natural science. His work here brought
offers of professorships at other Italian universities and
from the Academy of St. Petersburg. In 1768, at the
personal solicitation of the Empress Maria Theresa, he
accepted the chair of natural history in the University
of Pavia which was then being reorganized. He greatly
enriched the museum here by collections made in journeys
in Switzerland and along the Mediterranean. After the
death of Vallisneri, whose chair at Padua had been the
centre of interest in the natural sciences, Spallanzani was
invited to take it, but the Austrian authorities doubled his
salary and gave him a long leave of absence for a scientific
expedition to Turkey to retain him. His home-coming was
an ovation. He continued to make scientific journeys and
special studies of Vesuvius and the volcanoes of Sicily and
of the Lipari Islands. His contributions to every phase of
physical science are valuable, but it was in biology that his
work counted for most; his studies in regeneration are still
classic."

SPENCER, Leonard James. (Born: Worcester,
England, 7 July 1870; DlED: London, England, 14 April
1959) English mineralogist.
Spencer had studied chemistry at the Royal College
of Science in Dublin. He thereafter attended Cambridge
where in his final year he won the Harkness Scholarship
for the best paper in geology of his year. His ambition
had been to join the Geological Survey of India; however,
no post was available. Therefore, Spencer applied for
and was accepted into a vacant mineralogist position at
the British Museum (Natural History) that had occurred
with the death of Thomas Davies [1837-1892]. He
remained with the British Museum the remainder of his
working career, retiring finally in 1935. However, even
in advanced age, he remained an active participant in
geological and mineralogical activities. Notable among
these was his adventure in 1934 at the age of 64 to
investigate with P.A. Clayton the then unexplained deposit
of almost pure natural silica glass in the Libyan Desert —
this substance called "Libyan Glass" is now known to be

important mineralogical journals, Mineralogical Magazine
and Mineralogical Abstracts. It is recorded that Spencer
was active on his bibliographical work until a few days

SCARCE. A good general treatment of mineralogy
authored by the curator of the British Museum mineral
collection, and notable for the 40 color plates of
mineral specimens reproduced lithographically from
hand painted originals.
"The text of this book on minerals is in the main
descriptive of the 116 species of the more common
simple minerals, which are illustrated by 163 figures
on the colored-plates. Descriptions of a few other
important species have been added. Technical terms
are explained in the preliminary chapters; their use,
however, has been avoided as far as possible, and an
attempt has been made-to present in popular language
an interesting and readable account of the several kinds
of minerals. Points of general interest are touched upon,
and attention is drawn to such of the more prominent
characters as will help the student and collector of
minerals to identify his own specimens. Mention is also
made of the various practical applications of minerals,
their importance as ores of the metals, as precious
stones, etc."
"The forty colored-plates have been prepared
under the supervision of Dr. Hans Lenk, Professor of
Mineralogy and Geology in the University of Erlangen,
and many of the pictures represent actual specimens
belonging to the mineral collection under his charge."

RARE. This catalog was compiled by Johann
Martin Michaelis [ft. 1688-1693], a student of Spener's
who defended his teacher's dissertation De Magnete in
1688 [see entry above]. Michaelis also appears to be
responsible for the dispersion of the collection through
a series of sales. The text of the catalog is written in
both German and Latin, and lists numerous specimens
of mineralogical interest. Based upon the classification
of the book, the collection consisted of (1) Mathematical
Instruments, (2) Optical Devices, (3) Mirrors and
Lenses, (4) Instruments used in the Study of Physics,
(5) Magnets, (6) Earths, (7) Stones, (8) Precious and
Semi-Precious Gemstones, (9) Ore Specimens, (10)
Mussels and Shells, (11) Oriental Items, (12) Old Vases,
and (13) Coins.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia. Imperatorskoe
Mineralogicheskoe Obshchestvo.
(Imperial Mineralogical Society) Founded in 1817 by
V.M. Severgin and D.I. Sokolov [qq.v.], among others.
As stated in its first charter, the Society was begun to
investigate mineralogy in the broadest sense of the science.
It sought to disseminate knowledge concerning minerals,
rocks and ores. It was an important organization in the
Russian empire and did a great deal to promote and inves-
tigate the mineral and geological wealth of Russia and its
dominions. One of its most important publication outside
of its journals was Materialy dlia. Geologii Rossii (28 vols., St.
Petersburg, 1869-1928), which was part of the effort the
Society made in conducting a systematic geological survey
of Russia from 1864 to 1882.
After the organization of the Geological Committee
in 1882, the Society began to devote more attention to
theoretical research in geology and mineralogy. E.S. Fy-
dorov [q.v.] and his crystallographic research was partic-
ularly important during the period. In 1919, the Soci-
ety was reorganized as the Vserossiïskoe Mineralogicheskoe
Obshchestvo (Russian Mineralogical Society), and in 1947
it was renamed Vsesoiuznoe Mineralogicheskoe Obshchestvo
(All— Union Mineralogical Society).
A collection of minerals was begun which for a time
was placed on exhibit, but eventually it was given to the
Mining Institute.

Stainpeis
Jena, where he studied medicine with Hoffmann, Rolfinck,
and especially Georg Wolfgang Wedel. He received his
M.D. in 1684. I assume a B.A. or its equivalent.
1684-7, he habilitated and lectured at the University
of Jena as a Privatdozent. 1687-94, court physician at
Weimar. 1694-1715, the second professor of medicine (there
were two) at the new University of Halle. He received
the reasonably low salary of 200 taler in 1698 and did
not receive a raise until 1708. 1700-1 and 1710-11 he was
Prorektor. There is explicit mention that he maintained
a medical practice during these years. 1715-34, court
physician at Berlin to Frederick William I of Prussia.
He was physician to the Dukes of Weimar, appointed
by Duke Johann Ernst of Sachsen- Weimar. Frederick III,
elector of Brandenburg, founded the University of Halle
in 1694 in an effort to surpass his neighbors. He attracked
Friedrich Hanke as first professor of medicine, who, needing
help, was instrumental in Stahl's appointment as second
professor of medicine.
He practiced medicine his entire career, both as court
physician and professor of medicine. 1700, he became
a member of the Kaiserlich-Leopoldinisch- Carolinisch-
Deutsche Akademie with the name "Olympiodoros." He
founded the short-lived chemical journal " Observationum
chymico-physico-medicarurn curiosarum mensibus singulis
horro cum Deo continuandarum" (1697-8). 1715, he
became the president of the Collegium medicum, the
highest medical association in Prussia.

STAINPEIS, Martin. (Born: late 1450's; Died:
Vienna, Austria, 14 July 1527) Austrian physician.
Stainpies matriculated at the University of Vienna
in April, 1476, gaining his medical degree in 1488 and his
licence to practice medicine on 23 September 1490. He
became professor of medicine at the Vienna Medical School,
and between 1496 and 1510 he was eight times elected Dean
of the medical faculty. By 1510 he was one of the senior
doctors at the medical school. In the plague year of 1511,
Stainpeis criticized colleages who fled the city, and was
called before a committee investigating this slander. After
his refusal to appear, Stainpeis' faculty priviledges were
revoked. He wrote several medical tracts, the last of which
is considered the first printed introduction to the study of
medicine.

VERY RARE. Published anonymously, authorship
of this interesting and rare lapidary is now generally
attributed to Martin Stainpeis. The work is also
undated, but is thought to have been printed after the
year 1500, probably around 1510. The text is divided
into two parts. The first containing the introductory
material is composed of 13 chapters (Adams says 12
chapters). At the outset the author states that the
purpose of this work is "first to give such information
concerning the various minerals as will enable them
to be recognized, and second to set forth their origin,
virtues and properties" (Adams, 1938). A general
description of the particular virtues and properties is
explained in the first part of the book. Included are
chapters on how the properties manifest themselves,
how a weak virtue may be strengthened and the
differences between the mystical powers of natural and
artificial stones. Throughout, the author denounces
those who believe gems do not possess heavenly
powers as ignorant fools. He supports this argument
by reminding the reader that great authorities such
as Aristotle and Plato recognized these qualities as
inherent to a stones existence.
The second part of the text is a descriptive list
of 117 stones in alphabetical order. Under each name
there is a commentary about the individual properties
and virtues attributed to the stone. This commentary
is largely based upon the writings of Albertus Magnus,
Pliny, Evax, Avicenna and Serapion. In fact, many of
the notes are copied directly from Albertus Magnus,
although some stories of anecdotal nature are also
interspersed.

Danish physician.
Steffens graduated in philosophy and medicine from
the University of Kiel (1797 and 1815). In 1789, he was
a private docent at the University of Kiel and from 1802
to 1804 at the University of Copenhagen. From 1804
to 1811, he was employed professor of mineralogy at the
University of Halle. This was followed by an appointment
as professor ordinary of physics and philosophy of natural
history at the University of Breslau from 1811 to 1832.

RARE. This considerable handbook distinguished
itself from all similar works of the period. The
compilation is made from a praise worthy compactness,
with thoroughness and a true critical circumspection.
Above all else one finds interspersed through out the
volumes highly interesting and important comments.
No mineralogist's library should lack this publication.
At the end of volume four, with its own title page is a
supplement. Due to its appearance over 14 years this is
a rare work in complete sets.

VERY RARE. One of the earliest 16th century
treatises on mineralogy and precious stones. It is
a different type of lapidary, with its arrangement of
gems and minerals according to color rather than
the typical alphabetical sequence. The four classes
are white, green, red and blue or black. Thus
are classified: I. De gemmis candidis, including
diamond, rock crystal, iris, ceraunia &õ astroite,
pederote, asteria, achate, draconite, allectorio, and
margaritis. II. De gemmis viridibus, including
smaragdo (emerald), beryllis, chrysoprasio, topatio,
callaide, prasio, heliotropio, jaspide. III. De gemmis
rubeis, including carbunculorum generibus, amthysto,
hyacintho, sarda, sardonyce, anyce, hematite, corallio,
hephesite, chrysolito, electro, and opalo. IV. Gemmis
coeruleis &¿ nigris, including cyaneo, saphiro, calaide
&¿ ceraunia, de moris gemmis, de gemmis ad ectypam,
etc. Adams (1938) notes that the descriptions are
better than earlier works, although Thorndike (1923-
58) declares the work "little more than a compilation
from Greek and Latin writers, above all, Pliny ..."
A remarkable feature of the work is the beautiful
woodcut border surrounding the title, depicting an
architectural frame with the figures of St. Peter and St.
Barbara and two putti holding the Nuremburg arms.
This fine cut is thought to be by Diirer's pupil Erhard
Schön (Dodgson, 1911).

STELLUTI, Francesco. (BORN: Fabriano, Italy, 12 or
29 January 1577; DIED: Fabriano, Italy, 20 November
1646) Italian naturalist & poet.
Stelluti was born to a patrician family of Fabriano,
which intended that he study law. For this purpose he
was sent to Rome towards the end of the sixteenth century.
In Rome, Stelluti became friends with Federico Cesi and
Johannes Eck, with whom they founded the Accademia dei
Lincei in August 1603. His pseudonym at the academy
was Tardigradus, and he took as his symbol the planet
Saturn. In 1604 Stelluti was forced to retreat to his native
Fabriano, due to increasing hostile attacks towards the
secret brotherhood of the the Lincei. After a period of
quiet, the Academy was revived, and Stelluti returned to
Rome in 1608 or 1609.
After initially rejecting Galileo's Sidereus Nuncius
(Rome, 1610), Stelluti was eventually won over by the
theory, and a sustained correspondance began between the
two. Their relationship grew to such a bond that Stelluti
wrote introductory verses for Galileo's other works, Istoria
e Dimostrazioni Intorno alle Macchie Solari (Rome, 16??) and
II Saggiatore (Rome, 16??). In 1625, Stelluti made the first
microscopic observations to be published, perhaps with an
insturment supplied by Galileo. The volume that appeared
was titled, Pérsio Tradotto in Verso Sciolto (Rome, 1630), and
shows in the illustrations various insects and their anatomy
at different magnification.

VERY RARE. An account of the fossilized wood
found in the region of Todi in central Italy. It
is based upon FEDERICO Cesi's theories of a class
of "metallophytes" intermediate between metals and
plants, and possessing properties of both. Stelluti
explains how he had abandoned his own idea that these
fossils were simply buried, mineralized tree trunks.

STENO, Nicolaus. (BORN: Copenhagen, Denmark, 10
January 1631; DIED: Schwerin, Mecklenburg, Germany,
25 November 1687) Danish physician & theologian.
Steno (or non— Latinized Stensen) attended the
University of Copenhagen from 1656 to 1660. He then went
on to Amsterdam, but received an M.D. in absentia from
the University of Leiden in 1664. Steno became professor
of anatomy at the University of Padua in Italy. He was
also appointed house physician to Grand Duke Ferdinand
II of Tuscany. During this decade, the greater part of
Steno's available time was taken up by his studies of human
anatomy, geology and catholism. This is also the period
when his greatest contributions to science were written. In
1672, he returned for a time to Denmark, but came back
to Italy in 1674. Ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic
Church in 1675, Steno devoted the remainder of his life to
the church in a progression of appointments. Steno ended
his life as a bishop in Numster, Germany.
A skilled anatomist and dissector Steno was the first
to show the role of the parotid gland in the production of
saliva. He also studied the structure of muscles and sinews,
and applied mechanical laws to the principal of muscular
contraction.

Rare. The greatest contribution to crystallogra-
phy, paleontology and geology made during the sev-
enteenth century was Steno's De Solido Intra Solidum
Naturaliter. Within this volume, intended as an intro-
duction to a much larger never published work, Steno
while studying quartz observes for the first time the
fundamental crystallographic law of constancy of inter-
facial angles, which was confirmed and generalized over
a century later with the invention in 1783 of the con-
tact goniometer by Arnould Carangeot [see note below].
Steno was also the first to recognize the principle of
superposition that states sedimentary rocks were origi-
nally laid down horizontally, while non— horizontally re-
sults from strata being deformed by later forces. As an
integral concept within this principle, the author real-
ized that the oldest strata were the first to be formed
and that overlying stratum must have been deposited
at later times. If this were not enough "firsts" for one
book, the Prodromus was also important in the history
of paleontology, as it was among the earliest publica-
tions to attribute fossils to be the petrified remnants of
animals and plants.
The plate was originally created as a large double
plate, half engraved and half printed. However, due to
its large size it is common to find it bound into the book
as two plates.
Arnould Carangeot. (BORN: Rheirns, France, 1742;
DIED: Meaux, France, 1806) French crystallographer.

is found in volume 2, pages 181-227. The present work also
comprises all works of a scientific nature, which are known
to have come from him. It embraces not only the scientific
work which he published or left to others to publish, but
also those titles which appeared without his knowledge
such as various correspondence to Thomas Bartholin and
Cosimo II and his lectures on the anatomy of the brain. The
first volume begins with a lengthy biography of Steno after
which his writings are presented in chronological order.
This work was published in an edition of 350 copies.

RARE. Translation probably completed by Henry
Oldenburg [see note below] of De Solido Intra Solvm
Natvraliter Contento Dissertationis Prodromvs (1st ed.,
Florentiae, 1669). As valuable as Steno's contributions
were to the development of the earth sciences, they likely
would have gone unrecognized in England had the book
not caught the attention of ROBERT BOYLE. He was most
likely instrumental in persuading Oldenburg to prepare this
translation of the Prodromus.
The translator in his notes "To The Reader" first
explains the circumstances for producing this translation.
He then "publickly attests" that the honorable Robert
Boyle in a manuscript about gems and other precious stones
has written that the reason for their transparency was they
were once fluid. That opaque gems and other medical
stones are derived from earths. Oldenburg's narrative then
closes with his testament to others researching science:
"... several judicious persons do employ themselves in the
inquiry after the observables in the greater parts of the
world ... for the discovery of the works of God and the
operations of nature." This introduction is then followed
by a detailed table of contents that acts as an index to the
text. The translation of the text follows the structure of
the original Latin edition.
Please note that while all early editions of Steno's
Prodromous are rare, this 1671 English translation appears
to be much rarer. Uncommonly, this translation is also
found bound up at the end of Boyle's Essay about the Origine
and Virtues of Gems (1st ed., London, 1672), implying that
the publisher had a difficult time selling Steno's work by
itself. This is further driven home by the fact that the title
page of another Boyle work, Essays of the Strange Subtility.
Determinate Nature. Great Efficacy of Effluviums ... to which
is added The Prodromus to a Dissertation concerning Solids
Naturally contained within Solids (London, 1673) specifically
calls for the inclusion of the Steno translation within the
book, but only a handful of copies of this combination are
known to exist.
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.

VERY SCARCE. Annotated translation by John Garrett
Winter [see note below] of De Solido Intra Soldvm Natvraliter
Contento Dissertationis Prodromvs (1st ed., Florentiœ, 1669).
This work was published as The University of Michigan
Studies. Humanistic Series. Contributions to the History of
Science, 11, part 2, and is today almost as difficult as the
first English translation of 1671 to obtain.
The work begins with a forward by William Hobbs
[see note below] describing the scientific age in which Steno
wrote the Prodromus. The significant contributions made
by this work to the sciences of crystallography, geology and
palaeontology are recounted by Hobbs. The introduction
written by Winter then gives an overview of Steno's life,
a list of his other writings, and a bibliography of the
editions and the translations of the Prodromous. The
introduction closes with a list of selected references. The
body of the translation is then persented. Winter has
added explanatory notes to highlight historic or scientific
aspects of the text. A general index closes the work.
Scattered through out the text are the plates. These
break down as two showing Steno's portrait, one being
a color facscimile of the title page of the original Latin
edition, one depicting the "tastefully designed headpiece
and initial letter," and the last three reproducing the
figures of the original plate.

White earned his bachelor's degree at Otterbein College,
Westerville, Ohio, and his master's and doctor's degree
from Ohio State University. Between 1926 and 1941, he
rose from instructor to department head at the University
of New Hampshire. From 1941 to 1947, he was a professor
of geology at Ohio State University, where upon he went
to the University of Illinois, becoming head of the geology
department, retiring in 1965. He specialized in glacial and
groundwater geology, as well as the history of geology. He
is remembered fondly by his many students.

SCARCE. A relatively unknown colored mineralogy
with somewhat crude though recognizable mineral
depictions of many species. The text describes and
illustrates various animals and minerals recognized in
the medical science of the nineteenth century. Included
are descriptions of many vemonous creatures and
minerals from which medical preparations were derived.
It was writen as a companion to the author's previous
work describing medical botany. The illustrations that
accompany the text appear to be original and not copied
from some other work.

STIEGLITZ, Christianus Ludovicus. (Born: Leipzig,
Germany, 16 February 1724; DIED: Leipzig, Germany,
4 May 1772) German lawyer & mineral collector.
Stieglitz was educated at the University of Leipzig,
obtaining an advanced degree in jurisprudence. He
held several high positions in the city government of
Leipzig. In 1754 he married Christiane Richter, daughter
of Johann Christoph Richter, the founder of the "Museum
Richterianurn" in Leipzig, described and illustrated by
Hebenstreit in 1754. In 1765 Christian and his two
younger brothers were appointed "Nobles of the Empire" in
Bohemia. They had a son of the same name [1756-1836],
who became a prominent art historian and architectural
archeologist.

large collection in realistic renderings. Particularly no-
table among the minerals pictured are wire silvers and
calcites from the mines of Saxony, as well as the first
illustration of native iron from Disco Island, Greenland.
Freisleben (1828) records that the engravings and color-
ing were prepared by a miniaturist painter by the name
of Morino. The text is occupied with descriptions of
the specific specimens, which is written in both German
and Latin. Unfortunately, this work is among the rari-
est of all hand— colored mineralogies, with only a very
few copies known.
Stieglitz's collection must have been one of the
better known during the eighteenth century. Cronst-
edt makes note of it, and Werner records in his arti-
cle on collections, "Von den verschiednerley Mineralien-
sammlungen, aus denen ein vollständiges Mineralienk-
abinett bestehen soll" [See: Sammlungen zur Physik
und Naturgeschichte: 1 (1778), 387-420], that "In the
Stieglitz collection ... the Fossils were placed ... ac-
cording to their respective countries, which were not
however disposed in the best geographical Order ... It
contained no specimens of the different Rocks; and the
Fossils of each land, province or mining district, were
arranged methodically ... according to the Earth's,
Stones, Metals, &¿c." (Hailstone, 1792). Unfortu-
nately, the only record of its contents exist in this splen-
did hand— colored mineralogy and the collection catalog
listed below.

author's fine mineral collection, which Werner records
was sold to the Theresian College in Vienna (Hailstone,
1792). One could speculate that the author's colored
mineralogy Spicilegivm Qvarvndam Rerum Natvralivm
Svbterranearurn Lipsiae Collectarvm (Leipzig, 1769)
was perhaps a prospectus for selling the collection to
a Saxon Noble. However, when this failed to produce a
buyer, the full collection catalog was published as the
present title.

STORY-MASKELYNE, Neville. (Born: Wroughton,
England, 3 September 1823; DIED: Wroughton,
England, 20 May 1911) English mineralogist &
crystallographer.
Story-Maskelyne graduated from Oxford in 1845,
receiving his M.A. in 1849. In 1851, he became a teacher
in mineralogy and chemistry at the University of Oxford.
Then he was appointed professor of mineralogy in 1856.
Story-Maskelyne became keeper of minerals at the British
Museum in 1857, a post he kept until 1880. During his
tenure, the collections were rearranged and considerably
upgraded, with a catalogue published. From 1880-92, he
was a member of parliament. In 1870, he was elected a
Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1893, he was the recipient
of the Society's Wollaston Medal. His primary research was
on meteorites and diamonds.

STROMEYER, Friedrich. (Born: Göttingen,
Germany, 2 August 1776; DIED: Göttingen, Germany,
18 August 1835) German chemist & mineralogist.
Stromeyer first studied botany and pharmacy at the
University of Göttingen, before conducting post graduate
work under Lewis Nicolaus Vauquelin [1763-1829] at Paris.
He received a Ph.D. from Göttingen in 1800. From 1802 to
'05 he worked as a privatdocent, and in 1805 he succeeded
J.F. Gmelin at the University of Göttingen. Stromeyer was
ordinary professor of chemistry and pharmacy from 1810
to 1835, during which period he set up the first teaching
laboratory at a German university.

VERY SCARCE. First and only volume published of
a proposed series on the chemical makeup of minerals.
In the forward, Stromeyer writes that the influence
of Berzelius' researches has helped motivate him to
prepare this book. It is a collection of investigations into
the composition of minerals. Thirty species are treated
including aragonite, aluminite, magnesite, strontianite,
boracite, apophyllite and spodumene. In several cases
Stromeyer presents analyses from multiple localities to
show that the composition of a mineral species does
not vary much deposit to deposit. Thomson (1831-2)
called the analyses "models of analytical sagacity and
accuracy."

Rare. The state of mineralogy in the free
states of America is so little known that this treatise
was deamed necessary for the friends of nature. In
its preparation, the American journals of Benjamin
Silliman, the Journal of the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia and Cleaveland's Treatise on
Mineralogy and Geology have been consulted. The first
22 pages contain a listing of minerals found in North
America by Struve. The remainder of the volume are
devoted to extracts of articles by Schoolcraft, Jessup,
Dickson, Troost, among others.

VERY RARE. Translated by D.B. Rätzer [see note
below] from a French manuscript. The author follows
the previous work of JOHANN GEORG LENZ and AUGUST
Johann Georg Carl Batch, both based on Werner, in
creating a synthetic method for mineral determination.
It also outlines a new method of classifying minerals by
their external characteristics, which shows the influence of
the principles of Lamarck used in botanical classification
as described in his Flore Françoise (Paris, 17??). The
instructions given to the reader are very inconsistant,
however, and according to the reviewer, could cause
the beginning mineralogist to go insane from the chaos
presented by the system. The double-page engraved hand-
colored plate shows 74 different color shades to help identify
minerals.
David Bernhard Rätzer. (BORN: Bern, Switzerland?,
; DIED: Bern, Switzerland, ) Swiss mineralogist. Swiss
mineral collector. His mineral collection is described as
having a large number of crystallizations from Gothard
Massif. It was purchased by Martinus van Marum in 1802
and later incorporated into Teyler's Museum in Haarlem.

Rare. In this overview of mineral bodies, Suckow
organizes the species into seven classes: nonmetallic
oxides, non metallic salts, metallic salts, metallic oxides,
'gediegene' metals, sulfur and metals in combination
with sulfur, and minerals containing carbon. The
minerals are presented in a series of tables that give
the name and chemical composition of the specie listed.

SWAMMERDAM, Jan. (BORN: Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, 12 November 1637; DIED: Amsterdam,
The Netherlands, 17 February 1680) Dutch physician.
Swammerdam was born the son of Jan Jacobszoon
[1606-1678], a prosperous apothecary and collector of
natural history specimens. His family intended him for a
career in the church, but in 1661 he decided instead to
study medicine at Leyden. Subsequently, he studied also
at Saumur in France, returned to Leyden, graduating with
an M.D. in 1667. Swammerdam was among the earliest
doctors to utilize a microscope in his researches of anatomy.
He is recognized as one of the greatest anatomists of the
17th century.

It was subsequently used by the heirs to sell off the
collection piecemeal. The text is printed in a double-
column format with the Dutch in the left column and
the Latin on the right. The cabinet contained objects
from all departments of nature and art, including
fossils, minerals, crystallized specimens, preserved
vegetables, corals, birds, crabs, echinoderms, insects,
fishes, mammals, serpents, shells, drawings, sculptures,
manuscripts, other art objects, coins, medals and
armor. Specimens of mineralogical interest are listed
in the first section (pp. 3-12).

VERY SCARCE. Swedenborg's cosmological and
metallurgical masterpieces, comprising the Principia
rerum naturalium, Regnurn subterraneum sive minérale
de cupro..., and Regnum subterraneum sive minérale
de ferro. In the first work, "probably conceived as
a counterpart to Newton's Principia, he sought a
comprehensive physical explanation of the world based
on mathematical and mechanical principles. While
remaining faithful to the general principles of Cartesian
natural philosophy... Swedenborg elaborated upon
them. According to his cosmogony the physical
reality had developed from the mathematical point,
which was an entity between infinite and finite... In
contrast to Descartes, Swedenborg believed that the
planets had developed from the chaotic solar mass
through expansion of its surrounding shell, which finally
jointed to form a belt along the equatorial plane
of the sun. It then exploded, forming the planets
and the satellites. Although the basic construction
of Swedenborg's thought heralded the later planetary
theories of Buffon, Kant, and Laplace, there is nothing
to indicate that tit exerted any direct influence on
posterity." (DSB)
The following two volumes, the results of his
official duties and investigations as assessor to the
Swedish Board of Mines, are on the mining, mineralogy,
and metallurgy of copper (and brass), and iron
(and steel). They give a highly detailed survey of
the industry, the mining techniques employed, the
chemistry utilised, and the geology of the ore deposits,
and are illustrated with exceptionally fine plates, the
best illustrations of mining technology since Agricola.

VERY RARE. This is a general introduction to
mineralogy containing a section on gemstones, including
a description of diamonds. It follows Wernerian
doctrine closely by describing the value of external
characters in distinguishing mineral species; however,
there is also a review of the mineralogical system
of René Just Haüy, which appears to be the first
introduction in Polish to the Frenchman's work.

RARE. Although the title indicates otherwise,
this presentation is neither systematic, nor tabular.
The unknown author must have choosen to remain
such because the text, interlaced with suprising
mistakes, was prepared like an index to a possible
mineralogical textbook — not as systematic tables.
Its content, full of errors and negligence, is arranged
with columns representing the classes and families but
with subsequent rows in alphabetical sequence. This
work concludes with a truly comic section covering the
geognostic. The whole is printed upon only one side
of each page, presumablly so that it could be readily
cut apart, and the resulting strips of paper attached
to specimens. [Leonard's Taschenbuch (1807); 1, pp.

SZABO, JÓZSef. (BORN: Kalocsa, Hungary, 14
March 1822; DlED: Budapest, Hungary, 10 April 1894)
Hungarian mineralogist & geologist.
Szabó was a pioneer in the geological mapping of
the Budapest region, and other areas of Hungary. He
worked in association after 1858 with the Geologische
Reichsanstalt, of Vienna. He made many studies of rock
structure using the microscope and the application of flame
tests in identifying minerals.

Rare. Szabó published the first modern univer-
sity textbook on mineralogy written in Hungarian. His
large Ásványtan (Mineralogy) reference book appeared
in 1861. The first book was followed by three revised
and widely extended new editions. It had great influ-
ence in the Hungarian institutes of higher learning. In
his books he emphasised the importance of the chemi-
cal properties of minerals and included several practical
analytical methods applicable especially for minerals,
some of them developed by himself. In the first edi-
tion of 1861, the Mineralogy of Szabó the crystallogra-
phy part was based on Carl Friedrich Naumanns book
(1856), the descriptive mineralogy on James D. Danas
mineralogy systematics (1854).

RARE. In the second edition, Szabó gives more crystal
drawings that are included in the crystallography part. The
systematic part was updated with the data Szabó received
from J. D. Dana as appendix to Danas 4th edition and
from Kobell as the latest results in the field of chemical
identification of minerals.

RARE. The third edition of Szabós Mineralogy was
fully rewritten reflecting the significant developments of
mineralogy. Szabó still used Naumanns system and
notation in the crystallography part. Optical mineralogy
was extended considerably. The Nicol prism and the
polarising microscope were included. The relationship
between optical properties and symmetry of minerals was
also discussed on the base of Des Cloizeauxs work (1862,
1874). In the chemical identification chapter Bunsens
methods (blowpipe, flame colouration) were demonstrated
and he treated also the fusibility of minerals. In these
latter fields his own special contribution (mainly for the
identification of feldspars) was discussed in details as
well. He added the description of new minerals discovered
between the 5th edition of Danas book (1868) and 1875
using the Second Appendix to Danas Mineralogy by
Edward S. Dana. Not less than 900 mineral species were
included in this third edition.

RARE. In 1893, one year before his death, the
fourth edition of his Mineralogy was published. Mineralogy
developed essentially in the period between the last edition
and Szabó felt he had to revise almost all parts of the
1876 book. He entirely rewrote and enlarged the book.
He presented the spherical projection, started to use
Miller indices alternatively with the Naumann notation.
Pyroelectricity, piezoelectricity and magnetic properties of
minerals are discussed. The Tables for Identification of
Minerals were enlarged as well.
A large number of new mineral species were added
to the descriptive mineralogy chapter, based on the 6th
edition of Danas Mineralogy, published in the previous
year (1892). Here, beside the chemical, crystallographic

and physical properties of minerals, genetic and locality
data are also given. Szabó includes the results of several
mineral synthesis experiments (Berthier, Fremy etc.) in
order to give some idea on how minerals form in their
natural environment.
Concerning feldspars, a mineral group Szabó invested
a lot of his research time in, Des Cloizeauxs and
Tschermaks feldspar determination methods and data are
given in detail. These methods, based on optical properties
(extinction angle), became widespread at the end of the
19th century and surpassed Szabós flame-based method. It
is not common for a 72-year-old scientist to have enough
strength to keep up with the development of science,
especially as development overwrote a large part of his
oeuvre.

TARDIEU, Ambroise. (BORN: Paris, France, 2 March
1788; DIED: Paris, France, 17 January 1841) French
engraver.
Ambroise was born into a family with a tradition
of fine engraving, and from this connection he early on
became a pupil of his uncle, the famed French engraver,
Pierre Alexandre Tardieu [1756—1844]. After exhibiting
talent in the field, Ambroise followed in the family vocation
becoming well known as an engraver of portraits. He also
received an appointment as geographical engraver for the
French goverment, a position that carried a small yearly
stipend. To supplement the meager income of this postion,
he began a trade in prints, books and maps. Today, he
is best rememebered for the over 800 engraved portraits
produced during his career, many of which render famous
scientists from that period.

public and private mineral collections, obituaries and
death notices of mineral people, and advertisements
regarding mineral specimens and collections for sale. It
is one of the great mineralogical compendiums of the
early nineteenth century, with a great deal of interest
to the historian of mineralogy and earth science. In
1830, the periodical was renamed and published in
a larger format under the more wide ranging title,
Jahrbuch für Mineralogie, Geognosie, Geologie und
Petrefaktenkunde. Then from 1833 to 1862 it appeared
as Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie, etc. It remains
today one of the foremost German scientific journals
devoted to the earth sciences, including mineralogy. For
further information please see the entry under Neues
Jahrbuch für Mineralogie.

2 parts. 2 o : x, [2], 128 p.; [4], 120 p., one folding
map, 16 full-page engraved views of the "Plausiche
Grund," and 8 hand-colored plates.
Rare. This splendid publication, ranking among
the finest produced in eighteenth century Nürnberg,
was edited by Wilhelm Gottlieb Becker. It describes
the landscape gardens and the natural history of the
beautiful "Plausiche Grund," a rural valley located near
Dresden in Saxony. It was published in two parts the
first being illustrated with 16 very fine views of the
gardens engraved by Darnstedt after drawings made by
the famous Johann Christian Klengel [1751-1824] and
Friedrich Adam Oeser [1717-1799]. The rare second
part describes the natural history of the area including
in the botanical section a catalog of the wild plants
(pp. 45-94) by Frederick Traugott Pursch. Another
section by Andreas Tauber describes the mineralogy of
the valley, which is enhanced by four splendid hand-
colored engraved plates. At the end is a catalog of
insects prepared by Ludwig Heinrich Freihern von Block
[1764- ] that is also illustrated on four superb hand-
colored plates.

Rare. Co-authored with Salvador Calderón
and edited by CARL KLEIN. The important 1910 work
of Calderón on the mineralogy of the Spanish peninsula
was preceded by his efforts to help Professor Tenne
in Die Mineralfundstätten der Iberischen Halbinsel
(Berlin, 1902), the first major attempt to describe the
minerls of Spain and Portugual. Based on the writings
of Naumann, the volume classifies and describes the
important minerals that are known to occur in the
peninsula together with their properties. In compiling
the work, Tenne relied heavily on the extensive mineral
collection, library and expertise of Calderón, who
specialized in the mineralogy of the Iberian peninsula.
However, Tenne did not live to see the work completed,
and the responsibility for organizing the notes and
bringing the work to press was given to his friend and
associate, Carl Klein. As an appendix, Klein has added
a three page tribute to Tenne and his work.

of the Cathedral. It describes their collections
of both artifical and natural curiosities, including
plants, seeds, fruits, stuffed animals, minerals, fossils,
shells, medals, intaglios, cameos, chemical preparations,
various scientific insturments, and articles made of
glass and metal. Based upon the beautiful engraved
frontispiece depicting the the interior of the museum,
the gallery consisted of 3 rooms stuffed with all manner
of curiosities. Display cases set upon tables lined the
walls with space taken up underneath by a variety of
vases and urns. The walls above the cases held various
pictures while the tops of the displays were packed
with various insturments and clocks. Hanging from the
ceiling are the required taxidermy, including a crocidile,
various fish, and birds. A large elephant tusk greets
visitors near the entrance to the middle gallery. It
was Manfredo Settala's wish that upon his death, the
museum would be deposited in the Ambrosian Library
of Milan, but the arrangement fell through and the
collection was dispersed (Murray).

ardent supporter of Plato's philosophies. While there,
he became a pupil and friend of ARISTOTLE, and when
Aristotle went into exile, Theophrastus succeeded him
as the leader and principal spokesman of the Peripatetic
school of philosophy — a leadership he held until his death.

Start of Theophrastus' Peri Lithon. 1497
Very scarce. Editio Princeps of Aristotle
and Theophrastus and all other texts included.
Theophrastus' Ii£7T Al9(0\) (=Peri Lithon, or about
stones) appears in volume 2 on leaves 254-60. It is a
work of special interest in the history of mineralogy as
it is the largest fragment to survive from Classical times
that treats mineral substances in a meaningful way. It
is like no other mineralogical work written during the
period, and in fact no other original work resembling it
appeared until the Middle Ages. It remained for 1800
years one of the most authoritative treatise on minerals,
referenced and quoted by writers down to modern times.
The comparative absence from myth and magic in the
descriptions is particularly noteworthy, and shows there
existed, probably among miners, quarryman, and others
engaged in the mining industry of the time, a practical
knowledge of mineralogy, which Theophrastus drew
upon in the compilation of this work.
The text, written as a series of 69 paragraphs,
suggests the Peri Lithon to be a series of lecture notes
rather than a formal treatise (Adams, 1934). Some
passages contain obvious additions that appear to be
notes appended to the more detailed information. It
seems possible, therefore, that Peri Lithon is a set of
lecture notes as the author would have delivered in
the gardens of the Lyceum almost two millennia ago.
Incredibly, the text of the treatise appears to have come
down to the present little changed from what it was in
the beginning. All surviving ancient works, have made
their way through time by a tradition of manuscript
copying. Invariably, as scribes copied manuscripts,
mistakes were unwittingly introduced. The fact that
this work exists in a relatively few manuscripts that
when compared show few differences, suggests that Peri
Lithon is probably very close to what Theophrastus
originally wrote.
The text first gives a Peripatetic view of the
origin of minerals and stones, and upon this foundation
of Aristotle and Plato, modifications are introduced.
Metals are said to be composed of water, while
stones and mineral earths are composed of earth.
A mineral occurs because its substance has been
purified through filtration, and its degree of purity
can be determined by examining such qualities as
smoothness, density, luster and transparency. The
primary interest in the work are the descriptions of
specific minerals. Theophrastus divides into two broad
categories, Earths and Stones, under which about fifty
"species" are recognized. Within each commentary, the
author recounts various physical characteristics such
as texture, color, transparency, hardness, luster, and
density, as well as the practical uses. Thus described,
it is possible to apply modern names to many of the
minerals Theophrastus wrote about eighteen centuries
ago, and read the Classical ideas about marble,
pumice, onyx, gypsum, amber, pyrite, coal, azurite,
chrysocolla, realgar, orpiment, cinnabar, quartz, lapis
lazuli, emerald, sapphire, ruby and diamond.
By recording the properties of the species, this
early work set a high standard over other mineralogical
writings of the period. Theophrastus is in fact the first
investigator to methodically treat mineral substances
for themselves rather than for their magical or curative
properties, and he may be considered the best and most
accurate mineralogist among the ancients.
The Aldine Aristotle as this edition is known was
the largest venture of Greek printing in the incunabula
period of the fifteenth century, and the first major item
of Aldus' program to publish Greek literature in the
original language. These five volumes include all the
then— known works attributed to Aristotle and his most
outstanding pupil, Theophrastus, together with other
texts associated with the Aristotelian corpus. Taken
together with the Aldus edition of Aristotle's Rhetoric
and Poetics of 1508 and Theophrastus' Characters of
1527, this EDITIO PRINCEPS determined the text of these
two authors until the nineteenth century. In preparing
this edition, Aldus relied upon Greek manuscripts
provided by Greek scholars throughout Italy; a number
of these sources survive and form the basis of Sicherl's
(1976) study outlining how this edition was edited. In
addition, a study by Baker (1992) describes two of the
Greek typefaces used to set the text.
Notes: [1] Aristotle founded in 335 B.C. a new
school in the Lyceum, near Athens. It would seem
that the teaching was imparted in the gardens while
master and pupils were walking together, hence the
name, Peripatetic school, meaning to walk around or
about. Although the school lasted only until the third
century after Christ, its influence was such that it is
impossible to outline the history of science without its
mention. The basis of their view of the world was that
all physical things were made from combinations of the
four different elements: air, earth, water and fire.

Adrien Turnèbe. (BORN: 1512; DIED: 1565) French
printer. Adrien Turnèbe, or Adrianus Turnebus, was one of
the most eminent French humanists of the Renaissance. He
was born at Les Andelys, a former province of northwestern
France on the English Channel, now Normandy. At the
age of twelve he was sent Paris to study, and attracted
great notice by his remarkable abilities. After having held
the post of professor of belles-lettres in the university of
Toulouse, in 1547 he returned to Paris as professor, or royal
reader, of Greek at the College Royal. In 1552 he was
entrusted with the printing of the Greek books at the royal
press, in which he was assisted by his friend Guillaume
Morel. He died of tuberculosis on June 12, 1565.
Turnebes works chiefly consist of philological
dissertations, commentaries on Aeschylus, Sophocles,
Theophrastus, Philo and portions of Cicero, and

analysis; and De causis plantarum, on etiology. Part
of the work is devoted to plant lore and the medicinal
uses of plants, making it the earliest complete extant
herbal and pharmacopoeia as well. Theophrastus was
a longtime associate of Aristotle and succeeded him as
head of the Peripatetic School in Athens; his works on
botany correspond to Aristotle's Historia animalium and
De partibus animalium. Theophrastus described about
500 plants, ranging geographically from the Atlantic to the
Mediterranean littoral and as far as India, using a method
of classification that recognized the manifold nature of
plants and the differences between plants and animals;
the classification system, although necessarily primitive,
maintained its authority until the advent of the microscope
in the seventeenth century' (Norman catalogue). See
A.G. Morton, History of Botanical Science, chapter 3,
'Theophrastus to Galen'.

Lithon into a modern language is this English translation
by JOHN HILL of the ancient Greek text. It also is the first to
include an extensive commentary on the mineral substances
mentioned by Theophrastus. Cayley and Richards say "It
is still of condsiderable value for the light it throws on the
state of chemical, geological, and mineralogical knowledge
in the period during which it was written." [Introduction,
p. 6). Subsequent translations into French and German use
Hill's text as their source material.

Rare. Thölde is the probable author of the many
works attributed Basilius Valentinus, a supposed
fourteenth century chemist. The Haligraphia-, das
ist, Gründliche und eigendliche Beschreibung published
in 1603, a year before Basilius Valentinus' Triumph-
Wagen des Antimonii appeared, is the only work
published by Thölde under his own name. It treats
the salt works of Lueneburg, with a description of
the surrounding village, mining operations, mineralogy,
purifiying, economics (including yeilds, costs, wages),
etc. It has been pointed out by Hoefer that this work
bears a strong resemblence to the Letztes Testement
attributed to Basil Valentini and published in 1626.
It was perhaps the slight reception the Haligraphia
received that caused him to publish under the name
of Basil Valentini.

THOMAS AQUINAS, Saint. (BORN: Aquino, Italy,
1225; DIED: Fossa Nuova, ??, 7 March 1274) Italian
theologian & natural philosopher.
St. Thomas Aquinas was born in Aquino, a town
in southern Italy from which he takes his surname. In his
masterwork, Summa Theologica, he represents the pinnacle
of scholasticism, the philosophical and theological school
that flourished between 1100 and 1500 and attempted to
reconcile faith with reason and the works of Aristotle with
the scriptures.
The family of Thomas Aquinas was a noble one, his
parents, the Count of Aquino and Countess of Teano, were
related to Emperors Henry VI and Frederick II, as well
as to the Kings of Aragon, Castile, and France. During
his early education, Thomas exhibited great acumen in the
medieval trivium of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. Because
of his high birth, Thomas' entry into the Dominican order
in the early 1240s was very surprising. His family employed
various means to dissuade him from his vocation, including
imprisoning him for two years.
After a stint as a student in Paris, Thomas made
his way to Cologne to teach, receiving ordination to the
priesthood in 1250. Soon after this, he was assigned
to teach at Paris, where he also worked toward his
degree of Doctor of Theology, which he received in 1257,
with his friend St. Bonaventure, after some intramural
political difficulty. The remainder of his life was spent in
prayer, study, and writing his great Summa Theologica, a
systematic attempt to present the findings of scholasticism.
Although Thomas is sometimes perceived simply as an
analytical and methodical writer, he was, especially in his
later years, given to periods of mystical ecstasy. During
one such experience, on December 6, 1273, he resigned from
his writing project, indicating that he had perceived such
wonders that his previous work seemed worthless.
The Summa Theologica was left unfinished, proceed-
ing only as far as the ninetieth question of the third part.
St. Thomas Aquinas died a few months later, on March 7,
1274. He was canonized in 1323 by John XXII. Although
interest in Scholasticism in general and Thomisrn in par-
ticular waned during the seventeenth and eighteenth cen-
turies, Leo XIII's encyclical Aeterni Patris in 1889 reestab-
lished Thornism as the leading theological school of the
Catholic church. Today, Thomist theology stands at the
center of the Roman Catholic tradition.

Thomson
THOMSON, Thomas. (BORN: Crieff, Perthshire,
Scotland, 12 April 1773; DIED: Kilmun, Argyleshire,
Scotland, 2 July 1852) Scottish physician, chemist &
mineralogist.
Thomson was educated at the Universities of St.
Andrews and Edinburgh. After receiving the degree of
M.D. in 1799, he established himself in Edinburgh as an
instructor in chemistry. From 1796 to 1800, he was sub-
editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and the chemical and
mineralogical articles he contributed to the supplement of
the third edition formed the basis of his popular System of
Chemistry (1st ed., 1802). In 1813, he relocated to London
and founded and began editing the Annals of Philosophy,
then in 1817, he became lecturer in chemistry at Glasgow
University. In 1818, Thomson was appointed to the regius
professorship at the University, a post he held until his
death. Through his chemistry textbooks, he did much to
spread the atomic theory of Dalton.

SCARCE. The articles "Mineralogy," "Chemistry,"
"Meteorology" and "Animal and Vegetable Substances"
written by Thomson for the Supplement to the third
edition of the Encyclopedia. Britannica. (London, 1800-
1) were collected together an enlarged and reissued in
1802 as his System of Chemistry (see related works
below). This was the first extensive treatise on
chemistry written in Great Britain, and it had enormous
popularity, with seven editions being issued between
1802 and 1831. Within the second portion of the
work, mineralogical bodies are arranged according to an
artificial classification consisting of six classes based on
physical and chemical properties, as well as a natural
system that organized the stones, salts, combustibles
and ores. Ultimately, the System was split into separate
works on inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, heat
and electricity and mineralogy. The last, which was ten
years in preparation, was published in 1836 as OurJines
of Mineralogy, Geology, and Mineral Analysis. The
objective of the work was to promote the advancement
of mineralogical chemistry by collecting numerous facts
from scattered sources together with much original
research, and meld them into a cohesive system, in
which new discoveres could be reported. In support,
Thomson determined the chemical constitution of all
the known mineral species that he could procure
through the same ridgid chemical analysis. His
procedures are fully described in the third section of the
text. As a result of this paradigm, Thomson discovered
many new species, which are described in these volumes
for the first time. Here, also, Thomson has published
a foundation of research that provided the best and
longest list of chemical compositions of minerals written
to that time, and foreshowed the importance chemistry
would play in mineralogy in the coming decades. This
is highlighted by the fact that the minerals are arranged
on the basis of their chemical composition and not
by their physical properties as was typical of the
time. In addition, Thomson provides in the second
section of the text, interesting observations on the
chemical compostion of various rocks, anticipating the
importance of geochemistry.
The text of the Outlines is divided into three parts:
I. Description of all known minerals.; II. Account of
nature and position of different rocks in the crust of the
earth.; III. Detailed methods by which minerals may be
analyzed.

This 1802 issue is the first edition of Thomson's most
popular work. 'As the first systematic treatise of a non-
elementary kind to break the French monopoly of such
works, Thomson's system tried patriotically to do justice
to the contribution made by British chemists to the new
chemistry' (DSB). First published when Thomson was 28,
the work was written during his time as a lecturer at
Edinburgh University. The only previous comparable work
was that of Fourcroy — his large treatise Systeme des
Connaissances Chimique (Paris, 1801-2), which 'lacked an
adequate use of important and numerous English soucres'
(Partington, p. 719). A System of Chemistry went
through several editions each revised and expanded (2nd,
1804; 3rd, 1807; 4th, 1810; 5th, 1817; 6th, 1820; 7th, 1831),
attesting to its' enormous popularity as a clear and concise
introduction to the subject, and it remained for many years
a standard work. The treatise also received the accolade
of being itself translated into French, with a preface by
Berthollet.

THURNEISSER, Leonhard. (BORN: Basel, Switzer-
land, 5 August 1531; DIED: Cologne, Germany, 8 July
1596) Swiss alchemist.
Thurneysser was the son of a goldsmith. He took
up his fathers profession, but at the same time was a
famulus to a local physician and alchemist. However,
he was forced to flee Basel after having been discovered
selling gold-covered lead as pure gold. He spent some
time in Holland, northern Germany, France and England,
working as a goldsmith, armorer, and soldier. In 1552,
he returned to Germany and joined the army of Albert,
Margrave of Brandenburg. He was captured in 1553 by
the Saxons and put to work in the mines at Tarenz in
the Inn Valley. Following his release, he worked as a
goldsmith and smelter in Nuremberg. In 1558, he returned
to the Tirol where he ran a mine and smelting facilities.
His success brought him to the attention of Archduke
Ferdinand of Austria. From 1560-70, he was in the service
of the Archduke, on whose instruction Thurneysser traveled
to England, France, Bohemia, Hungary, Italy, Spain,
and North Africa to acquaint himself with metallurgical
methods and medicines. Thurneysser published a book in
1571 which brought him to the attention of the Elector
of Brandenburg. After Thurnysser successfully treated the
Elector's wife, he was made court physician in Berlin at
a high salary. In Berlin, he also established a medical
practice. In addition, he acted as adviser on metallurgy
and mining, and established a huge laboratory— employing
up to 300 people— at the nearby Greyfriars monastery for
the production of saltpeter, mineral acids, alums, colored
glass, drugs, essences, and amulets. Thurneysser became
rich. He owned a large library, art collection, and a
kind of natural history museum. He had agents in a
number of German and Polish cities who advertised and
sold his wares. In 1576, there was an outbreak of plague
and Thurneysser fled with the court. In the years that
followed, his second wife died, his business suffered terribly,
and he became the object of increasing criticism from
his colleagues. By 1580, he returned to Basel, where he
purchased an estate, "Zum Thurn," and thereafter styled
himself Leonhard Thurnysser zum Thurn. He married the
daughter of the Basel patrician Hebrott. Unfortunately, all
of the large sum of money which he brought with him to
Basel was given to his wife by the Basel town council in the
divorce proceedings that followed. Having to rebuild his
life, he returned to Brandenburg, reentered the service of
Elector, and spent several years trying to make gold. After
failing to transmute a large amount of silver, he finally left
and traveled to Italy. About 1591, he found a patron in
Ferdinand de' Medici, and was converted to Catholicism.
He returned to Germany shortly before his death in 1596.

VERY RARE. This rare alchemical book is written
in such an enigmatical style that it is practicably
undecipherable. Printed at his own expense through
the printer Johann Ossenbrügge of Münster, this first
edition of the Archidoxa appeared in quarto format in
1569. The introductory letter is dated November 1569,
and it records that the publication was supported by
Duke Ferdinand.
Thurneisser was an ardent follower of PARACELSUS
in his chemical theories. The text is written in verse,
and even balanced against the other alchemical works
of the period, this is a book that is full of confused
speculations and strange absurdities. Thurneisser
repeats the common ideas of his fellow alchemists
believing in the transmuting affects of the seven planets
on the base metals, the importance of mercury in the
process, the philosopher's stone, various oils, etc., with
little in the way of new contributions from Thurneisser.
But because the book treats the processes involved in
metal transmutation, especially it solvents and reagents
the work touches however lightly chemical mineralogy.

Thurneisser
During his lifetime Leonhard Thurneysser Zum Thurn was
associated with innumerable reports of adventures and
rumours. While he was known as a physician, chemist and
astrologer and also as a printer and geographer, he had
a bad reputation as a quack, charlatan and producer of
gold.
One of his best known works is his Archidoxa with
the astrolabe, which contains the tables of the planets.
It appeared in 1575. The surface of each of the eight
coloured tables holds up to six further discs which can be
slid against each other. With their help it was supposed
to be possible to predict not only natural phenomena, but
also the luck and misfortunes of individuals. The drafts for
these tables were created by Jost Amman, a well known
artist of woodcuts, drawings and etchings.

Rare. This book was printed at Thurneysser's
own press. Like the Archidoxa, it is written in verse.
The author states in the dedication that the Archidoxa
and the Quinta Essentia, his second work are written
in such an obscure or enigmatical style, that he would
require to add an elucidation. This is contained in the
present work, but the explanation is more obscure than
the original, or, as Moehsen has it, it is "a wilderness
of words without meaning."
This book is considered as part two of the
Archidoxa of the same year.

Anno M.D.LXXXIII.
2°: * 2 )( 2 () 2 A-Z 2 Aa-Qq 2 (Qq2 blank); 84f.;
[12], 144, [12] p. Title in red and black in an elaborate
woodcut border. Portrait and small woodcuts in the
text. The portrait is followed by a number of texts in
Ethiopie, Syriac, and other languages, the knowledge
of which Thurneisser made great display at every
opportunity.
Rare. The two parts here are bound together
represent title editions of books that first appeared in
1583 and 1587 (Sudhoff 213). They represent two of the
most important alchemical books, based on astrological
themes and written in an obtuse allegorical style by
the Basier alchemist and physician L. Thurneisser.
The Magna Alchymia. is of a more practical character
than the author's other works and contains much
valuable information on earlier alchemcial authors and
techniques they used in their experiments. These books
therefore link alchemy to chemistry and mineralogy
together with astrology. The text treats sulfur, salts
of ammonia, aluminum, salpeter, mercury, and metals.
An entire chapter treats the origin of the minerals and
ores, and a long section on astrology and horoscopes.

TILAS, Daniel. (BORN: Gammelbo, Västmanland,
Sweden, 11 March 1712; DIED: Stockholm, Sweden,
17 October 1772) Swedish mineralogist & mining
engineer.
Tilas was first educated at home before being sent
to Uppsala University in 1723 from which he graduated
in 1732. He began as an assistant in the office of mining
industry and through out the remainder of his life held
many positions related to the mining industry of Sweden,
including instructor at the Swedish Mining Academy. In
1739 he was elected a member of the Swedish Academy of
Scienc e.

Rare. The author was a pioneer in prospecting for
ore, and this book, "A Mining Expert's Experience in
Mineralogy" outlines his methods. He believed the best
method was to search for erratic blocks, because blocks
were larger and more numerous closer to their place of
origin. Using this procedure the very rich field near
Skellefteå was found, and geological maps were drawn
in accordance with this principle.

TRADESCANT, John, Jr. (BORN: Meopham, Kent,
England, 4 August 1608; DIED: South Lambeth, Surrey,
England, 22 April 1662) English antiquarian.
Like his father, he was steadfast in his attachment
to the established church, and also like his father, Trades-
cant was a skilled gardener. He did make three expeditions
to Virginia, and he collected specimens, especially plants,
while he was there.
Gardener to Queen Henrietta Maria, 1638-42 (when
the Queen fled the Civil War). Tradescant succeeded his
father. His status appears to me as a perfect embodiment
of the ambiguity of patronage relation. From his father he
also inherited the museum, which continued to be run as
a commercial enterprise. After the Parliamentary victory
and the termination of his relation with the court, the mu-
seum was Tradescant's principal means of livelihood. There
is evidence that he functioned as a merchant in overseas
trading during the late 50 's.
Queen Henrietta Maria. Add that Tradescant ded-
icated the second edition of Musaeum Tradescantianum,
1660, to Charles II, and that when an official tried to make
Tradescant get н license to operate the museum, Churlos
gave hirn a warrant to proceed without one. Possibly Elias
Ashmole should be mentioned here. He financed the pub-
lication of Musaeum in 1656. However, the conventional
wisdom (which is supported by considerable evidence) is
that Ashrnole was then already scheming to get the collec-
tion into his own hands. Tradescant dedicated the first edi-
tion to Musaeum to the President and Fellows of the Royal
College of Physicians. Tradescant was growing medicinal
plants for the college at this time and was negotiating with
them over the establishment of a physic garden.

RARE, but exceptionally so with two portraits.
This is the first catalog of what was far and away the
largest and most comprehensive collection of its day in
England, which forms the foundation of the Ashmolean
natural history collection. The first portion of the
book (pp. 1-72) contains lists of the natural history and
artificial objects, which is followed by a catalogue in
English and Latin of the plants in the garden, which
includes the 'Catalogue Plantarum' (pp. 73-178).
The text of the lists is divided into 13 sections
describing: (1) various kinds of birds, eggs, beaks,
feathers, claws and spurs, (2) four-footed beasts,
including hides, horns and hoofs, (3) fish and aquatic
animals, (4) shell creatures, including univalvia and
bivalvia, (5) insects and snakes, (6) minerals and fossils,
including earths, corals, salts, bitumens, and choicer
stones and gems, (7) exotic fruits, nuts and woods, (8)
mechanical artificial works such as carving, turnings,
sewings and paintings, (9) other types of rarities, (10)
European and Asian weapons, (11) garments, vestures,
habits, ornaments, (12) utensils and household items,
and (13) coins both ancient and modern.
The collection was originally formed by the senior
Tradescant who opened it to the paying public as 'The
Ark.' Ultimately it was bequeathed to the younger, who
kept it open to the public and eventually published this
catalog, which is the first museum catalog published
in the English language. In general the collection
follows the idealized pattern described by SAMUEL
QuiCCHEBERG. Eventually, John the younger made a

gift of the collection to Elias Ashmole [see note below].
However, the gift was retracted a few years later,
and the collection was instead gifted to Tradescant's
wife, stipulating that she leave it to either Oxford or
Cambridge. However, after Tradescant the younger's
death, Ashmole successfully brought suit against his
widow to regain the collection. In 1677, when Ashmole
bequeathed his collections to Oxford, the Tradescant
cabinet was included, and the remains may still be seen
there today.
John Tradescant, Sr. (BORN: Probably Suffolk,
England, cl587; DIED: South Lambeth, Surrey, England,
15/16 April 1638) English naturalist. Tradescant was
steadfastly orthodox in his religious connections. The
two John Tradescants, father and son, were skilled
gardeners with minimal claims to be considered scientists.
However, the elder John Tradescant collected everything
curious in natural history— minerals, birds, fish, insects,
as well as coins, medals, and miscellaneous curiosities.
He published, Plantarum in horto Johannum Tradescanti
Nasentium Catalogua (London, 1634). As gardeners, he and
his son introduced a number of new plants into England.
There is some evidence that he was gardener to
William Brooks at Cobham Hall before 1600. Certainly
he had established his reputation as a gardener by 1610
when Salisbury began to employ him. Gardener to the
Earl of Salisbury, 1610-14, (mostly at Hatfield, but also at
Cranborne in Dorset and at Salisbury House in London)
with the high salary of .£50. If the salary sounds like
ordinary employment, the additional gifts, such as £100
in 1612, sound like patronage. This was Tradescant's
first documented employment. Salisbury sent him on
expeditions to the continent to purchase vines, trees,
plants, and flowers for Hatfield House. Salisbury (Robert
Cecil) died in 1612; Tradescant continued with the heir
until 1614-15. Gardener to Edward Lord Wotton at
Canterbury in Kent, c. 1615-23. During this time he joined
Sir Dudley Digges' embassy to Russia as a botanist, and
brought home some plants. In 1620 he joined an expedition
against the Barbary corsairs. Gardener to the Duke of
Buckingham, c.1624-8. He accompanied Buckingham's
expedition to La Rochelle in 1628. Buckingham arranged
for Tradescant to hold the sinecure of yeoman garnetter at
the Whitehalff granary (which I categorize as patronage).
By the time of Buckingham's assassination, Trandescant
had acquired enough to be financially independent. He
set up a garden and museum (called the Ark) in South
Lambeth, 1628. This was run as a commercial enterprise,
with a fee to enter. It appears that he also ran the garden
as a commerical nursery.
Gardener to Queen Henrietta Maria with a salary
of £100 (very high for a gardener), 1630 until his death.
He continued to operate his own establishment in South
Lambeth, and there is some evidence that he functioned as
a consultant on gardens to various aristocrats associated
with the court. He was appointed keeper of the new physic
garden at Oxford in 1637 (£50), and held the position until
his death.
Elias Ashmole. (BORN: Lichfield, Staffordshire,
England, 23 May 1617; DIED: South Lambeth, near London,
18 or 19 May 1692) English antiquarian. Ashmole had legal
training in London, 1633-8, he then studied at Oxford
in 1645. He left without a degree, however. In 1669,
Oxford conferred an M.D. on him. About 1660 he became
primarily an antiquarian. He published quite a few books in
that area and gathered a collection that he gave to Oxford,
along with Tradescant's collection. A royalist in the Civil
War, he was appointed by Charles I to collect the excise
in Staffordshire in 1644. Appointed commissioner, receiver
and registrar of Excise of Worcester, 1645. Controller and
assistant master of Ordnance in Worcester, 1646. With
the Restoration Ashmole's fortunes really looked up. He
was appointed Comptroller and Auditor of the Excise
and continued with the Excise until his death. Charles
also appointed him Windsor Herald in the sanio year
1660. He was also appointed Secretary and Clerk of the
Courts of Surinam. The process is unclear but Ashmole
clearly charmed circles of gentry and nobility. Note his
success during the early fourties when Ashmole successfully
insinuated himself into royalist circles in Oxford. Ashmole
was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1661, but he
was not active in it.

work were lacking however, because the volume never

suggesting that the ordering of minerals should be into
Stones, Fossils, Combustible Substances, and Metals.
Products of volcanoes should be described separately.

TREBRA, Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich von. (Born:
Allstedt, Weimar, Germany, 5 April 1740; DlED:
Freiberg, Germany, 16 July 1819) German mining
expert.
Earlier in his career, stationed at Ilmenau, Trebra
met Goethe, who had charge of the Ilmenau mines. They
became friends, and it is known that the poet/scientist
collaborated in the production of Trebra's famous
Erfahrungen vom Innern der Gebirge (Dessau &c Leipzig,
1785). In 1779, he became inspector of mines for
the government of Hannover and spent over a decade
at Zellerfeld, in the Harz Mountains, where he greatly
developed the mining and metal industry of the region.
It is well known that Trebra accompanied Goethe in his
wanderings through the Harz Mountains as a friend and
geological adviser.

VERY SCARCE. One of the most beautiful
German scientific books of the eighteenth century,
illustrated with finely hand-colored large plates and
smaller text engravings, likewise colored. Dedicated
to George the III, this is a classic work in geological
and mining literature, compiled with the assistance
of Trebra's longtime friend, WOLFGANG GOETHE. It
contains Trebra's observations and theories on the rich
mineralization of the Harz Mountains in Germany,
anticipating modern theories of ore body formation
through metamorphism and mineral replacement. It
is finely illustrated on the plates and vignettes that
incorporate on one plate ground mica to give realistic
'sparkles' to the rendering of a mineralized vein of ore.

VERY RARE. Translation of two German works
on mineralogy and mining by Philipp Friedrich Baron
von Dietrich [see note below]. The high mining official
Wilhelm Heinrich von Trebra had orginally published his
important scientific observations of the Hartz Mountains
as Erfahrungen vom Innern der Gebirge (Dessau &c Leipzig,
1785), and that is what constitutes the bulk of this
work. However, also included is a translation of AUGUST
VON Veltheim's Grundriss der Mineralogie (Braunschweig,
1781). The plates belong to Trebra's work and are the
reengraved versions of the original edition. Baron Dietrich,
of Strassburg, was a commissioner of the mining works in
France, and in his translation he brings much insight and
expertise.
This edition was privately printed at Trebra's expense
and distributed from Paris among his immediate circle of
friends and associates, unlike the original German edition
which was sold to the general public.
CONTENTS: Half title page, hand-colored plate
mounted on title page, folding copper engraved map hand-
colored in the outline of the Hartz region numbered 3, pp.
[vi, preface], 308 (with colored plate facing page 230), 9
hand-colored plates and plans double-page or extending

the beginning), table 4 numbered in Arabic not Roman.

to be Von Trebra. Mineralcabinett is a description
of Trebra's mineral and ore collection, and its reason
for existance. The text begins with an overview of
the organization, which was specifically taylored to
benefit mining experts. The collection is grouped into
rocks and vein material, gangue, gangue rocks, the
composition of matrix rocks, combustible materials,
metallic deposits and metals proper. Von Trebra
correctly believed that by studying all geological and
mineralogical aspects of working mines, other similar
ore deposits could be discovered while conducting

with a beautiful plate showing the long case where the
specimens described in the volume are stored.
A few years after this work was published,
Von Trebra's mineral collection was sold at auction.
It was described by Friesleben (1828) as being
a "well prepared, correct and accurate catalog in
customary form." It was published under the title:

1825. Trimmer took in 1840 a position with the Geological
Survey of England. He discovered sands with marine fossils
of existing species 1,350 ft. above sea level and did work to
classify mineral desposits. He was elected a Fellow of the
Geological Society.

TROIL, Uno von, Archbishop of Upsala. (BORN:
Stockholm, Sweden, 24 February 1746; DIED: 1803)
Swedish theologian.
Troil was the son of Samuel Troilius, who had also
been archbishop. He was known for great wit at a young
age. After completing his studies, he traveled abroad
to Holland, Iceland and Göttingen. Returning home to
Sweden, Troil was ordained a priest in 1773. In 1775 he
was appointed court chaplain, and in 1776 he married. In
1780 he was consecrated bishop of Linköping, then in 1786
he was ordained archbishop, at the young age of 40. Troil
was also a member of several scientific societies, and was a
benefactor to them throughout much of his life.

RARE. Troil was the Archbishop of Upsala,
but accompanied an expedition undertaken by Joseph
Banks to Iceland in 1772. This is an account of
those travels. The English naturalist, Joseph Banks,
originally intended to accompany Cook on his second
voyage, but circumstances forced him to withdraw and,
instead, he employed the assistants and materials he
had gathered together in a voyage to Iceland. They
reached the island in August, climbed to the top of
Hecla, and returned in six weeks via the Hebrides
and Staffa. Troil" s account of the expedition contains
interesting observations on volcanoes, basaltes, hot
springs, antiquities, manners and customs, literature,
civil and ecclesiastical history, and the fishery industry.
The book also includes appendices by Torbern
Olaf Bergman on volcanoes (pp. 327-76), Abraham
Bäck on elephantiasis in Iceland (pp. 312-26), and
Johan Ihre on the Snorra Edda (pp. 291-311). A
bibliography is contained on pages 11-16. The plates
show geysers, volcanoes, geological structures, glaciers
and ancient monuments.

TSCHERMAK-SEYSENEGG, Gustav von. (Born:
Littau [now Litove], near Olomouc, Czechoslovakia, 19
April 1836; DIED: Vienna, Austria, 19 April 1927)
German mineralogist.
In his youth, Tschermak showed much enterprise and
independence by starting a natural history society in his
school. In 1856, he went to the University of Vienna, where
he became assistant to F.X.M. ZlPPE. Graduating from
Tübingen in 1860, he returned to Vienna as privat-docent
in chemistry and mineralogy. In 1862, he was appointed
second curator, and in 1868 director of the Hof-Mineralien-
Kabinet in Vienna, from which he retired in 1877, when the
collection was incorporated into the Royal Natural History
Museum. During his tenure as curator, important additions
were made to the mineral and meteorite collections. In
1868, he was made extraordinary professor of mineralogy
and petrography and from 1873 ordinary professor at the
University of Vienna. On the occasion of his retirement
from active teaching in 1906 he was raised to rank of
nobility with the hereditary title 'Edler von Seysenegg.'
But after his retirement, he continued to work almost every
day in the Mineralogical Institute. Tschermak founded the
important journal Mineralogische Mittheilungen in 1872 as
a supplement to the Jahrbuch of the Austrian Geological
Survey. He was a founder and first president of the Vienna
Mineralogical Society.

VERY SCARCE. First appearance of one of the
most influential textbooks in mineralogy. It was written
with the authority of an author who was for many
years an instructor in the field of mineralogy and
petrography. The introduction begins by defining the
science of mineralogy, then follows a brief history of the
science. The introduction concludes with a classified list
of references used in the preparation of the book. The
generalities of the science are covered in the first part.
These include chemistry, crystallographic notation,
pseudomorphs, etc. The second part is a descriptive
mineralogy. Individual species are described by crystal
form, hardness, chemical composition, associations,
principal localities. Known varieties are then described
with similar information. Throughout the book are
numerous illustrations. The first few of these show
goniometers, while the remainder render many crystal
figures. The text closes with an index to the mineral
species mentioned. Two colored plates reproducing
optical polarization of several species end the work.

TUTTON, Alfred Edwin Howard. (Born: Stockport,
Cheshire, England, 22 August 1864; DIED: Dallington,
Sussex, England, 14 July 1938) English chemist &
crystallographer.
In 1883, based upon his exam scores, Tutton entered
the Royal College of Science in London. There he gained
prizes in chemistry and physics and the Murchison medal
in geology. He was afterwards appointed demonstrator and
lecturer in chemistry. He became an instructor at Oxford
and Cambridge, retiring in 1927. During research work
on the oxides of phosphorus, he was so attracted by the
brilliant crystals that he sought out H.A. MlERS of the
British Museum for instruction on crystal measurement.
Thus, Tutton found his life's work in recording precise
пи ■nsur ''lib 'lit s of crystals for series of isomorphous salts. In
connection with this research, elaborate pieces of apparatus
were designed under Tutton's direction. This equipment
was given to the department of physics and crystallography
in Manchester University. He was a Fellow of the
Royal Society, the Chemical Society and the Mineralogical
Society of Great Britain.

VERY SCARCE. After a short historical sketch,
the author describes his researches into the relationship
between chemical composition and crystallography.
Among other investigators, the author had studied
many isomorphous series of artificial compounds of
unusual purity. Some of these compounds were
comparatively simple in composition, while others
were very complex. Carried out over many years
the result of these investigations demonstrated that
crystal angles are functions of the chemical composition,
much as Haüy had postulated. Tutton discusses the
Haüy-Mitscherlich controversy, structure types, the
nature of the atom and atoms in crystal structures,
isomorphic series, and the apparatus for investigating
crystals, including the cutting and grinding goniometer,
monochromator, interferometer, dilatometer, optical
refractometer, etc. The text describing this complex
subject is written in a clear style.

VERY SCARCE. One of the great modern classics
in crystallography noted for its comprehensive coverage
and clarity of language, it is also an important
touch stone of the science written just prior to
von Laue's extraordinary discoveries in 1912 of X-
ray crystallography. The text is complete, with
almost no topic neglected. It is furthermore a
work of practical value delivering "how to do it"
instructions, including the definition of crystals, choice
of specimens, goniometer, measurements, axes, zones,
etc., calculations, the systems, all followed by a
second part on physical properties, what they are,
how measured, instrumentation, etc. It avoids
the forbidding mathematical treatment that pervades
almost all other English textbooks in the subject
instead delivering a lively review of crystallography
that is comparable only to von Groth's Physikalische
Krystallographie (1st ed., Munich, 1876). The many
illustrations that accompany the text are of good
quality and visually reinforce principles described in the
text.

crystallography in the English language. Since the
first edition's appearance, crystal science had had a
remarkable advance in knowledge due the X-ray study of
crystal structure. All of the material and illustrations
of the author's monograph, Crystalline Structure and
Chemical Constitution has been incorporated in this edition.
Furthermore, so much more material has been added, that
it became necessary an to issue the work in two volumes.
It follows along the lines of the earlier works and is written
in a clear style that even today can convey its meanings
successfully, and is fully and beautifully illustrated.
Volume I, Crystal Form and Structure is divided
into two parts: (a) Crystal Form and Goniometry, and
(b) Crystalline Structure; and its X-ray Analysis. In
Part I, the fundamental laws, the geometrical properties
of crystals, and the various methods of measurement are
discussed in great detail. Part II is one of the most
important sections of the book, since it contains chapters
summarizing the advances made since the introduction of
X-ray analysis. This is clearly seen from the following
list of subjects considered in this part: — Composite
Crystals and Twinning; Cleavage, (Hiding; Asterism;;
Hardness; Crystal Viscosity; Foam Cell and Pulsation-Cell
Theories; Crystals as Homogeneous Structures; Density.
Volume. and Structure; 14 Space Lattices; Molecular
Distance Ratios; 65 Regular Point Systems and the 230
Space Groups; Determination of the Density of Crystals
and Calculation of Volume Constants; X-ray and Crystal
Structure; Absolute Measurement of the Dimensions of
the Space Lattice Cell. — Methods of Laue, Bragg, and
Debye and Scherrer; Law of Atomic Diameters; Fedorov's
Theory of Cubic and Hypohexagonal Types and of the
Correct Descriptive Setting of Crystals: His Method of
Crystallochemical Analysis; Theory of Pope and Barlow;
Moseley's Law, Atomic Number and Atomic Structure.
Volume II, Physical and Chemical, is also made
up of two parts, III and IV. Tart III, which is given
over to Crystal Optics and Microscopy, contains a
systematic discussion of the optical properties of crystals
and the methods involved in their determination. Crystal
Chemistry and Informational Physics and its Chemistry;
zre the general subjects assigned to Part I. Here,
isomorphism and related topics, the thermal, elastic,
electrical, magnetic properties of crystals, and "liquid
crystals" are treated.

SCARCE. This work represents a revised and
somewhat enlarged edition of the author's former book
"Crystals" which appeared in 1911. Some of the chapters
are the same as in the earlier volume. The progress
that has been made since the appearance of the earlier
text, especially in the field of X-ray analysis and crystal
structure, has necessitated the introduction of considerable
new material. Chapters on "The Nature of Atoms" and
"The Revelation of Crystal Structure by X-Rays" have
been introduced in order to bring the book up-to-date,
that is, to the date of publication, Novermber 1923.
The work has it now stands comprises 21 chapters adn
166 illustrations as compared with 17 chapters and 120
illustrations of the former text. An excellent glossary
describing over eighty technical terms has been added.
The book states that the text "is intended for the general

reader more of less interested in the natural science." It
is extremely doubtful if this work could serve in that
capacity as the treatment is often quite technical and
the style, at times, involved. The book can serve to
advantage as collateral reading for students pursuing more
or less advanced work in crystallography. The numerous
illustrations are excellent and well chosen. [The American

VERY SCARCE. "Mineral Kingdom" is a textbook
that treats the mineralogy, geology, paleontology and
mining practices as viewed in Russia at the beginning
of the 20th century. The basics of mineralogy are
covered in the first portion and include crystal form,
physical properties, refraction, polarization, chemistry.
Gemstones are treated in a long section and include
comparisons of diamonds from South Africa and
the Urals, rubies, garnets, agates, lapidary craft,
etc. Geology, paleontology and mining are covered
in later sections. Throughout, the text is heavily
illustrated with good quality renderings and scattered
plates. These all figure subjects discussed in the text.
Remarkably, there does not appear to be a reference
to any other literature in this otherwise comprehensive
treatment. A complete index at the end makes the work
easier to use. The preface is signed by E.S. Sozonov [see
note below].
Egor Sergeevich Sozonov. (BORN: 26 May 1879; DIED:

VERY RARE. This work describes and illustrates
sections of stalactites and stalagmites (254 specimens
in all) from the famous Karlsbad caverns of Germany.
Until recently this book written in the eighteenth
century was the standard work on its subject.
According to the forward, Uibelaker selected these
specimens from his collection of over 600 examples to
best illustrate the varieties of color and form found
within the caverns. They are illustrated in lively hand-
colored renderings on the thirty-nine plates. Also
included are two color wheels based on the schemes of
Schiffer muller and Newton. Gatter er says of this work
that "it contains many new observations, mostly related
to microscopic observations and vocabulary, but ... is
confused with too many hypotheses. The plates are
beautiful."

VERY SCARCE. Antonio de Ulloa and his
companion Jorge Juan went with an expedition to Peru
mounted by the French Academy of Sciences in 1735
whose ultimate purpose was to determine the size of the
planet. Spanish colonies were normally closed to foreign
expeditions, but the King of Spain made exception for
the French Academy and sent his gifted young scientific
officers, Ulloa and Juan, to share the glory. Sabin
wrote, "Juan and Ulloa's Travels may be selected as
the most entertaining and satisfactory work of its kind;
they are the acknowledged source of much that has been
published in other forms."

Very scarce. REWORK COMMENTARY: First
edition of a rather scarce book. The great interest
Ure "took in the application of science to the arts
and industry bore fruit in his Dictionary of Chemistry
(1821). This work was originally undertaken at the
request of the publishers as a revision of William
Nicholson's Dictionary of Chemistry, but Ure said that
so much of the latter was obsolete that the work had
largely to be rewritten." D.S. В., XIII, p. 547. Ure
(1778-1857), a pioneer in the teaching of science to
artisans, was one of the first scientists to earn his living
as a consultant.
At the urging of a publisher Ure undertook a
revision of Nicholson's Dictionary of Chemistry (2ed
1808), however, so much of the material was out of
date, some even for 1808, that Ure had to rewrite most
of the work. The Introduction gives a general view of
chemistry and a suggested order for the reading of the
articles so as to provide a systematic order of study.
There were four editions: 2ed 1823, reprinted in 1824;
3rd 1827, repr. 1828; 4th 1831, repr. 1835. The
title for the 4th ed became "A Introduction. Aia([l])
A Dictionary of Chemistry. 3Gia([833]) Appendix, on
3H2b(844) imprint as above except 'and' replaces the
Following p x are 9 plates, I- VII show apparatus, VIII
and IX crystal forms etc. The plates are not signed.
Many of the first fruits of Ure's study of industrial
processes were incorporated into his Dictionary of
Chemistry, of which the first edition appeared in 1821.
He had agreed with a publisher to rewrite and bring up
to date an earlier dictionary by William Nicholson, who
had died in 1815. On beginning the work he found to
his surprise (or so he says) that Nicholson's dictionary
was so out of date (containing some material going back
to Becher's Physica Subterránea!) that the whole book
would have to be rewritten. It sold extremely well, and
continually grew in size in its several editions (1823,
1824, 1828); it seems to have taken the place of the
'methodical treatise on chemistry' which Ure projected
in 1816 (26), and again in the preface to the first edition
of the Dictionary, but which never appeared. The book
eventually grew into the Dictionary of Arts, Mines, and
Manufactures (1839), which ran into seven editions, the
last few appearing posthumously by other hands. The
various editions include some of the best evidence we
have of the actual state of chemical technology at those
dates, though they can by no means always be relied
on.

VERY SCARCE. REWORK COMMENTARY: This is the
first edition of Ure's work on commercial processes and
related materials. The author draws on his long experience
as a professor of practical science and as a consultant to
manufacturers both in Great Britain and abroad to prepare
a work useful to manufacturers, metallurgists, merchants,
students and the general public. There were seven editions:
2ed 1840; 3rd 1843 and 1846; 4th 1853; 5th 1860; 6th 1867
and 1872; 7th 1875 and 1878. Supplementary volumes were
issued in various years in eluding 1844, -78, -79 and -81.

VERY SCARCE. In today's terminology, this is an
encyc,not a dict,&; all eds of the work,incl the supps,are
org'd alphabetically. The early eds of the work,done
entirely by Ure himself, came out in quick succession, in
1839, 1840,& 1843. The 1st 2 vols of the present set are
the Am.ed of the 3rd Lond (Corrected) ed. (1843). After
Ure's death, the Lond. ed was brought up to date in 3
vols. The 3rd vol of present set,the large Arn. Suppl of
1864(almost 1100 pps Sc w 700 wood engrvs)was taken,not
from a British suppl,of which no current ed existed, but
from the latest (5th) Brit ed of the Diet itself, ed.by
R.Hunt,& pub. in 1863. The specific virtue of the present
set of 3 vols,thus,is that it combines Ure's early work
in it's preferred ed(3rd Lond,Corr.)on the industrial Sc
related processes of the 1st 3rd of the 19th Cent, w. a
parallel work on those same Sc additional processes as they
existed an epochal quarter century later; Sc because of
the alphabetical plan of the vols, the processes of both
periods are easily compared,their history made manifest.
A fascinating Sc rewarding work,esp.in this combination.

VERY SCARCE. REWORK COMMENTARY: The first
American edition of the Dictionary of Arts, ... seems
to be New York, 1842 (from the 1840 London edition).
There were numerous other editions and reprints including
1843 (3rd), -44, -45 (from the London 1843), other "11th"
edition reprints (?) -48,-50,-51. These and at least 13 other
New York (or New York-Philadelphia) "editions" from 1852
to 1878 are listed by NUC which adds a Boston 4th ed.
1853. Supplements appeared from at least 1844 until 1881.
The Dictionary was, with each London edition,
being constantly enlarged and corrected, with recent
improvements and new processes being incorporated in the
Supplements. Bolton (1899) 21 lists only the New York
1850 edition. Szabadvary.F. (1966) 235-236, relates Ure's
method for preparing standardized ("normal") solutions of
sulphuric acid and ammonia. The translator has confused
the order for diluting the acid; dilute acid should be
added to the distilled water. See the Supplement 1847
Alkalimetry pp 289-291, especially 291. Szabadvary states
Ure's is the earliest reference he has found to "normal"
solutions (no date given for the Supplement used).

VERY SCARCE. Robert Hunt (1807-1887) edited this
first of the posthumous editions of Ure's Dictionary of Arts,
... In the Preface Hunt states that so much new material
has been added that it is a "new publication." The editor's
aim was to provide a reliable work of reference giving exact
details of manufacture and including enough science to
make the "philosophy of manufacture at once intelligible."
Handicrafts were omitted from this edition for the most
part.
Bolton (1893) 80 Ferchl 252 under Hunt lists the 1860
edition and the 7th 1875. Partington III 722 n.U mistakenly

VALENTINI, Michael Bernhard. (Born: Giessen,
Germany, 26 November 1657; DIED: Giessen, Germany,
18 March 1729) German physician.
Valentini was educated in his home town, graduating
from the University of Giessen in 1675. In 1680, through
diligent work, he became a licenced physician. Afterward
he traveled throughout Europe and England meeting many
of the leading scientists of the time. He returned to
Giessen in 1682 and opened a medical practice. In 1686,
he accepted the added responsibility of an instructor in
medicine at the University. Eventually this led to his
appointment to a full professorship in 1697. Valentin
was elected a member of the Leopoldin Académie, 1683,
Berlinische Académie, 1704 and the Royal Society of
London, 1717.

VERY SCARCE. Although called a second edition on
the title page, this is in fact only a new issue of the first
volume, together with first editions of the second and third
volumes.
Valentini began his book, Museum Museorum, by
reprinting in its entirety the text of an earlier museological
tract of 1674 by Johann Daniel Major (1636-1693). Major
discussed the ways in which general collections (naturaiia
and artificiaiia) could be arranged, and addressed the basic
question of why people collect. He listed the important
collections known to him, and gave practical advice on
specimen conservation, and on the study of museum
materials. He recommended in particular that collectors
prepare a catalog or "rarities book" to accompany their
collection, describing not only their own specimens but also
all other things that would be necessary to fill it out to
optimal completeness. Major's work was the first widely
circulated essay defining the various types of collections,
and by 1700 the "rarities book" had become customary
among collectors.
Valentini concentrated primarily on addressing
collections of natural history in the remainder of his large
two-volume tract. He lists many collections in different
cities, often giving detailed lists and descriptions of their
contents. His own collection is among those featured. He
also provides a general text on mineralogy, botany and
zoology for collectors to refer to, illustrated bv engravings.

"The first volume deals with plants, animals,

coins, tropical plants, shells, unicorns and monstrosities. It
has an appendix, a catalog of all museums known to exist

the first attempts at the reconstruction of a fossil skeleton,
albeit of a unicorn. A separate appendix, Ost. Indianische

ten Rhyn and others on the rarities, mostly botanical,
from the East Indies. The third volume is devoted
to experiments in physics and natural philosophy, with
apparatus illustrated. It concludes with a dissertation on
the diving rod." [Ferguson (1906)]. The Aiuseum Museorum
is divided in three 'books', dealing with animals, plants,
minerals and metals, and their commercial and medical
uses. The 'Naturalien=Kammer' give short account
accounts of museums, collections, galleries, manageries,
known to exist at the time. The Send=Schreiben is a
compilation from Rumph, Kaempfer, ten Rhyn, a.o. on the
(mostly botanical) rarities of the East Indies.
Includes descriptions of the collection of the Royal
Society of London, Botanic Garden at Leyden, Collections
owned by German Princes, etc., and incorporating a
portion of Petiver's Gazophylacii.
A universal scientific work which includes botany,
zoology, mineralogy, among other physical phenomena.
The interspereced plates illustrate all manner of subjects
in medicine, technology, plants, fish, reptiles, animals,
petrifications, minerals, etc. Text explanations include
descriptions of experiments with air, optics, the camera
obscura, etc.

VALMONT-BOMARE, Jacques Christoph. (Born:
Rouen, France, 17 September 1731; DIED: Paris, France,
24 August 1807) French mineralogist & naturalist.
A brilliant student, Valmont was by his family wishes
destined for a career in the legal profession; however,
his interest in science was greater and led him to study
pharmacy and chemistry at Rouen. After graduating
in 1751, he moved to Paris. There, he convinced the
government to grant him an official status for investigating
the mineral resources of other countries. In this quasi-
diplomatic capacity, he gained access to mines and
chemical and metallurgical works throughout Europe. As
a consequence, he also met many of the leading scientists
of his time. In July 1756, Valmont introduced a series
of public lectures on natural history subject that became
highly successful, and lasted until 1788. During the French
revolution, out of fear of being labeled a royal collaborator,
he destroyed all the journals of his journeys, together with
his correspondence with such luminaries as Linneaus and
Rousseau. In 1796, he accepted a position as professor of
natural history at the École Centrale in the Rue Saint-
Antoine which he remained in until 1806. When the
Institute de France was established in 1795 he was named
associate member in the mineralogy section.

SCARCE. Valmont de Bomare intended this work
to be a course of mineralogical study so that one
could become familiar with the diverse substances
extracted from the bowels of the earth. He begins
his Minéralogie with definitions so as to delimit the
subject. Natural history is the study that enumerates
and describes the different bodies of the mineral, plant
and animal kingdoms, and the naturalists task was to
examine, collect, and classify all the bodies that exist
in nature. The subject of mineralogy was that section
of natural history that provides the descriptions of the
waters, fossils, minerals, semi— metals, metals, and all
other substances found at the surface or within the
interior of the earth. Valmont called the enumeration
NUC. • Roller & Goodman,
St. Clair, Classification of Minerals,
Wallerius, Brevis íntroduetio, 1779: 106.
and description of minerals the systematic part of
his treatise. In addition, he inserted notes to clarify
obscure points, which were catch— alls for a variety of
miscellaneous information.
On the whole, Valmont de Bornare's originality
lay in his synthesizing the work of other authors
into a convenient form. He distributed all mineral
bodies known to him into 10 classes with 61 genra
and ultimately 352 species. His classification system
was an adaptation of WALLERIUS' theories, with the
emphasis placed on the physical characters as the
principle method for division. But throughout, he cites
Pliny, Agrícola, Scheuchzer, Woodward, Discorides,
as well as contemporaries like Wallerius, Linneaus,
Wolter sdorff and Henckel. Valmont also uses resistance
to the action of fire and water as a distinguishing
characteristic for a species. The greatest obscure he
had in compiling his Minéralogie was the chaotic state
of the nomenclature. As a result, he includes at the
end an alphabetical lexicon of mineralogy that defines
terms used in "natural history, physics and chemistry
... which appear to be less generally understood." t 1 !

Dictionaire Raisonné
The Compilers of dictionaries had two banks to rob: Lin-
naeus' Systeme Naturas and BufFon's Histoire Naturelle.
They would abstract and arrange the contents alphabet-
ically. As a result the reader got Linnaeus' exactness and
Button's fine writing in both science and literature. Cre-
ation of such dictionaries reached it zenith with the extrav-
agant works of Houttyun's Natuurkyke Historie of Uitvoerige
Beschryving der Dieren, Planten en Mineralen, published in
thirty-seven volumes (1761-85), and Valmont de Bomare's
Dictionaire Raisoné Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, that ap-
peared in at least five editions, and Danish, Dutch, Italian
and Russian translations. There was also Martini's Allge-
meine Geschichte der Natur in alfabetischer Ordnung (1774),
which ambitiously built on Bomare's Dictionaire and invited
its readers to participate in making a new edition by fill-
ing out pages left blank for the purpose. The new edition
would not be complete, extending through the letter "C" in
11 volumes. In natural history, Martini said, "complete is a
harmonious sound without meaning." There were still more
dictionaries: the anonymous Manuel du Naturaliste (Paris,
1770), W.F. Martyn's A New Dictionary of Natural History,
Philip Miller's very handsome The Gardener's and Botanist's
Dictionary (1731, 8th edition 1768), and Lamarck's botan-
ical chunk of the Encyclopédie Méthodique. A somewhat
earlier, similar trend has been noted in geography.

VERY SCARCE. This is the first appearance of
Valmont 's general dictionary of natural history that
covers all aspects of the three kingdoms of animals,
plants and minerals. It became a very popular work,
updated and increased in its scope through other French
editions until 1800, as well as translations into other
languages such as Danish, Dutch, Italian and Russian.
It is the most important work of Valmont and the book
for which he is best remembered, because it contributed
greatly to the wide spread study of natural history
during the later half of the 18th century. Valmont
based his text upon his own wide range of reading that
is displayed by the inclusion of a long bibliography in
the introductory material of the first volume. However,
Valmont does not contribute anything truly original but
instead combines and synthesizes the ideas of many
other naturalists into a highly readable text that was
so successful in its presentation that it was used as a
model for similar dictionaries into the 19th century.

aristrocat & mineralogist.
Vargas- Bedemar was born to wealth and privilege.
At an early age he became interested in geology and
mineralogy and formed a large collection of specimens.
To enrich his collection and his understanding he
made collecting trips through out Scandinavia, including
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Faeroe Islands, Iceland,
and Lappland. He also traveled extensively through
Europe, visiting all the major cities. The myth of Atlantis
was also of great interest to his studies. In 1806 he was
elected to the Danish Academy of Sciences.

VELTHEIM, August Ferdinand, Graf von. (Born:
Castle of Uarbke, Harbke near Helmstadt, Germany,
1741; DIED: Braunschweig, Germany, 2 October 1801)
German mineralogist & geologist.
Veltheirn decided at an early age that he would persue
the study of mineralogy, and as a consequence his parents
made arrangements for him to attend mineralogical courses
at the University of Helmstädt. In 1762 he was appointed
as a financial advisor to the Duke of Braunschweig, and
in this position made extensive journeys with his father
to the mines and saltworks of the region. On his return
in 1766, Veltheim was made inspector of the mines in
the very rich mining district of the Hartz Mountains. In
1779, after the death of his much beloved wife, Veltheim
resigned the post and for several years withdrew from
public life. He often recounted a story about how having
been offered a fine collection of minerals but no money
to purchase the specimens, his wife unselfishly sold here
jewelry to acquire the collection for her husband. The
Duke of Braunschweig appointed him a privy counicillor,
and in 1790 Kmpress Catherine of Russia named Veltheim
as general inspector of mines and saltworks in the western
regions of the Russian empire. As attractive as these
posts were, Veltheim apparently preferred the calm life of
Harbke, his home town, to which he soon returned. On
tho grounds of the Castle Uarbke, he established a widely
acclaimed garden which he opened to the public, and his
home became a meeting place for many people who had
attained social, scientific or literary status. There vistors
found a large, carefully selected library, a fine cabinet of
minerals and fossils, some collections of engravings, etc.
Geology was a favorite interest of Veltheim. He
conceived a plan to write an extended work on the
formation of the earth, but only the first part, Etwas
über die Bildung des Basalts (1st ed., Leipzig, 1787; 2nd
ed., Braunschweig, 1789) appeared. This work is of
importance to the history of geology because Veltheim is
the first to correctly attribute the origins of granite to a
vulcanic mechanism. For the most part, Veltheim was an
original thinker, not hindered by the fanatical adherence
to Wernerian doctrine, then predominant throughout
German geological science. Unfortunately, his number
of publications was small, and based on there scarce
nature probably not widely circulated. Veltheim received
an honorary doctorate in science from the University of
Helmstädt in 1793.

Rare. This monograph is a very strong criticism
of Werner's mineralogical theories and the support
of these theories given by DIETRICH LUDWIG GUSTAV
KARSTEN in Ueber Herrn Werners Verbesserunsren in
VENEGAS, Miguel. (Born: 1680; Died: 1764)
Spanish Jesuit.
Venegas entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) at
Tepotzotlßn in 1700, was ordained in 1705, and served
from 1714 to 1724 as a professor of theology at the
Colegio Mßximo of San Pedro y San Pablo in Mexico City.
For reasons of health, he was appointed administrator to
the Jesuit hacienda of Chicomocelo, where he prepared
medications and dedicated himself to writing. In 1731
he authored the classic Manual de Párrocos, and in 1734
he completed a biography of the Jesuit Juan Bautista
Zappa. Inspired by the expansion of the Jesuits in Sonora,
Pimería Alta, and California, Venegas sought to serve in
the California enterprise, but was turned down because of
his delicate health. Thus, the first historian of California
never set eyes on the land.

Rare. A cornerstone to the literature of
California, this is the first natural and political
history of that land. In his research for the
book, Venegas employed a sophisticated historical
methodology, collecting original manuscripts, reports,
official documents, and memoirs — in short anything
dealing with California. In addition, he wrote letters
and sent questionnaires to the many missionaries
advancing into the country asking for their observations
and experiences. Decisively in 1735, high officials of
the Jesuits ordered that all archival material relevant
to California be provided to Venegas.
By 1739, Venegas had finished his ten volumes of
manuscript, but because the work revealed the weakness
of Spanish defenses in California, it was stored away
until 1749 when it was sent for revision and publication
in Madrid. This task was given to the Jesuit savant
Andrés Marcos Burriel at Toledo in 1750. Burriel
retrieved additional material from the archives of the
Society of Jesus to augment Venegass text with events
that occurred since 1739, as well as geographical data
from the Académie Royale des Sciences in Paris. By
1754, Burriel had finished his revisions and additions,
submitting his manuscript of 1,150 pages and four maps
for licensing to be published. Finally, in 1757, the
Noticia de la. California appeared in bookseller's stalls
in Madrid.
The first section treats the geography and native
inhabitants of California. The second portion gives
the history of attempts to occupy the land before the
Jesuits. The third part describes the work the Jesuits
had done in California. The final section, provided
by Burriel, comprises documentary appendices, and is
illustrated by three of the four maps, a description
of the natural history of the land is included and
includes information on the soil, mountains, harbors,
lakes, rivers, seas, animals, botany, mineralogy, fish, etc.
The book was an immediate success, with translations
prepared in English, Dutch, French and German.

VERNADSKY (Vernadskii), Vladimir Ivanovich.
(BORN: St. Petersburg, Russia, 12 March 1863; DIED:
Moscow, Russia, 6 January 1945) Russian geochemist
& mineralogist.
Vernadsky graduated from St. Petersburg University
in 1886, becoming an assistant in Moscow University.
In 1888, he had post graduate studies under P. Groth
in Munich, and in 1889-90 in Paris he worked in the
laboratories of Fouqué, Le Chatelier and Curie. In 1891,
he returned to Moscow becoming a private docent. From
1898 to 1911, he was professor of mineralogy. He was also
post-rector from 1906-11. When he was elected to the
Academy of Science in St. Petersburg in 1906, he also was
given charge of the mineral collection. On the relocation
of the Academy to Moscow, he became director of the
biogeochemical laboratory. His research was principally in
geochemistry and the formation of minerals.

Rare. After several false starts, Vernadsky finally
completed work on his doctoral dissertation in 1896 and
received the degree the following year, defending his
thesis at Moscow University. Although he originally
intended to write on the subject of polymorphism in
minerals, which had fascinated him for years, he decided
that the subject was too broad and would require too
many years of experimental work to do properly. He
chose instead a narrower topic in crystallography, in
order to have the degree out of the way and qualify for
a professorship. 109
Vernadsky 's work in crystallography in general
was concerned with the rela-tionship of crystal form
to the underlying "physiochemical structure and em-
phasized the importance of energetics in studying
crystals. "110 The particular problem he chose for
his doctoral dissertation was the phenomena of gliding
in crystal substances. As he explained it to his wife
while completing most of the work in the summer of
1896, the dissertation would contain five chapters and
a conclusion, the first a general introduction explaining
the significance of the problem and discussing previous
literature, the following three on the phe- nomena of
gliding in rock salt, izvestkovoi shpat (spar), and several
other minerals, giving a summary of known instances
of these phenomena, the fifth chapter would be on the
connection between the planes involved in gliding and
the symmetry of crystals. Vernadsky 's intention was
to proceed from the par- ticular, his own experimental
observations and measurement of the phe- nomena, to
some general conclusions at the end." He completed
much of the work by the beginning of August (over two
hundred pages), but remained unhappy with it as he
left Russia to join his wife in Paris for the remainder of
the summer:
I cannot say that I am satisfied with the work. It
is reminiscent of a bear's dance, that is, it can scarcely
be considered on a high level esthetically. But from
the standpoint of esthetics, sometimes, individual leaps
of the bear are successful. My work represents such a
bear's dance in science. Most of all I am vexed by the
fact that, due to malaise, there are a whole series of
questions which I have not treated. I am too lazy to do
complex measurements, too lazy to carry out proper
mathematical preparation; and now, preparing this
work for printing, I feel a whole series of fundamental
questions I have not treated. I will return to some of
these questions, but in general I have the feeling that I
have approached and skirted, come close to discovery,
but have made none, due to laziness and dilettantism.
112
Although Vernadsky tended at times to be a very
harsh self critic, his doctoral dissertation was approved
with praise by his university and judged a creative piece
of work by a later generation of Russian specialists
in crystallography. As one of the foremost Soviet
crystallographers, Shafronovsky, wrote in later years:
Here we find the richest synthesis of data relating
to unique deformations of crystals, created as a result
of gliding, that is the shifting of separate parts of a
crystal along straight lines while preserving the volume,
weight, and homogeneity of matter. Vernadsky revealed
the connection between the planes of gliding, the
crystalline facets and elements of symmetry. Here for
the first time, he underlined the need to make several
qualifications in our conceptions about the complete
homogeneity of crystalline polyhedrons in connection
with changes in their physical features in their surface
state. According to this idea, crystals are viewed not
as abstract geometrical systems, but as real physical
bodies. At the present time, the proposition put
forward by Vernadsky is generally accepted. 122
Just before his defense, Vernadsky submitted a
copy of his dissertation for comments to the man
who was probably the most creative and best known
crystallographer in Russia at the time, E. S. Fedorov,
a professor of geology at the Moscow Agricultural
Institute. In his response, Fedorov was both compli-
mentary and critical of Vernadsky 's work. As he wrote
1459
Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &¿ History
by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi]
NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007
Vernadsky
on March 13, 1897:
I want to congratulate you on a very interesting
and instructive piece of research, "On the Planes of
Gliding," and thank you sincerely for sending me this
work, from which I have extracted much that is useful,
although I have not had time to read it through as
carefully as it deserved, i regret that the work came into
my hands just as my textbook on crystallography was
being printed. Otherwise I would have used material
from it that is instructive. 123
Fedorov went on to criticize Vernadsky's use of
the term "gliding" (skolzhenie) arguing that what
he had investigated in his thesis was not gliding
at all but another set of phenomena found in
crystals, deformations he called displacement (sdvig).
This disagreement did not prevent Fedorov from
giving the younger Russian scientist high praise when
he reviewed the published version of Vernadsky's
doctoral dissertation of 1898. Comparing Vernadsky's
dissertation with the work of three other contemporary
scientists who dealt with various anomalies and
deformations in crystals, Fedorov found the work of
Vernadsky and one other of these authors to be superior
to the other two, since they were distinguished by
their completeness and their originality. He was
particularly impressed by Vernadsky's critical attitude
toward preceding work, his many original observations,
and his independent views. Developing some of the
critical views he had earlier expressed to the author
privately in the letter cited above, he nonetheless closed
his review with high praise: " If I elaborated on the weak
sides of this work, then it is exclusively because I give
this work very great importance and I would be very
happy to see these weak sides ironed out in later works
by this highly promising author. "124

Vernadsky continued an interest in crystallogra-
phy until the end of his teaching career at Moscow Uni-
versity in 1911 and published his first major scientific
book, The Fundamentals of Crystallography, in 1903.
Vernadsky's own interests went beyond the
descriptive and mathematical. In his Fundamentals of
Crystallography, 126 he asked why crystals have such
special geometric forms. For him the study of crystals
was interesting for what it could reveal concerning the
structure of matter in one of its three fundamental
states, solids (as contrasted with liquids and gases),
and he sought to connect the form of crystals with the
underlying molecular and atomic structures they reflect.
127 For Vernadsky, "crystallography is concerned with
the study of the laws of the solid state of matter. "128
In his book, he gave a short historical survey of the
development of the field and noted that traditionally
the study of crystals had developed independently of
physics and chemistry. He sought to bring these
subjects together in a closer marriage. He viewed
crystallography as a subdivision of mineralogy, since
all crystals are, at the same time, minerals. " It is
impossible to be a mineralogist," he observed, "without
mastering the basic methods of crystallography . . .
because the mineralogist is concerned with the solid,
crystalline products of chemical reactions on earth.

Rare. Shortly after the publication of The
Fundamentals of Crystallography, in 1903, Vernadsky
returned to a far more ambitious project in mineralogy,
for which he had begun gathering material in the
1890s. This was a kind of encyclopedia of the "mineral
kingdom" of the Russian Empire. His aim was to gather
together and systematically analyze all the known
data about the genesis, characteristics, deposits, and
industrial significance of all minerals then known in
Russia. This work was entitled An Attempt at a
Descriptive Mineralogy, although the title was a bit
misleading, since he obviously hoped to do more than
describe minerals in the usual sense. In this work, he
wanted to analyze the historical development, structure,
known deposits, and uses of every mineral found in
Russia. This was obviously more than a single person
could hope to accomplish in a lifetime, and Vernadsky
began to enlist the help of both his students and other
scientists.
As Vernadsky later noted, he received the help of
everyone he turned to in Russia, with one exception, the
crystallographer E. S. Fedorov, who had become rector
of the Mining Institute in St. Petersburg and answered
Ver- nadsky's plea for help with a sharp criticism
of the project, which he misunderstood as a dry
collection of facts. He considered it impossible ever to
complete the project and stated as much to Vernadsky.
In this respect, Fedorov was probably correct, since
Vernadsky did not complete the project, although what
he published proved to be valuable. In another respect,
however, his sharp note of rebuke was unfair, since
he accused Vernadsky of undertaking the project with
purely commercial aims in mind rather than a scientific
purpose. There is no evidence that Vernadsky's motives
here were commercial, or that he ever realized a profit
from those portions of the Attempt at a Descriptive
Mineralogy, which were finally published. Vernadsky
had major ambitions which he often did not fully
realize, but a desire to make a large profit does not seem
to have been among them. Recognition, even fame,
were certainly among the motives that emerge from a
careful examination of Vernadsky's legacy, but a strong
desire for monetary profit seems much less evident and
is contradicted by Vernadsky's own lifestyle, which was
ascetic, comfortable but far from luxurious.

VERY RARE. A precious catalog of an early
seventeenth century French cabinet. Archaeologist,
numismatist and apothecary, Veyrel assembled a large
collection of natural and artificial objects. A synoptic
index to its contents is published in this volume.
Included within the list are a diverse selection of
rare and marvelous products principally of nature and
composed of land and aquatic animals, precious and
semiprecious stones, metals, minerals, corals, strange
fruits, and other curiosities. Veyrel also owned an array
of horns (rhinoceros, unicorn, etc.), a large number of
preserved birds, small lizards, large reptiles (crocodile),
exotic plants, and objects from Brazil and Egypt.

merchant Levinus Vincent. The first part provides a
general description of the cabinet, and the second gives
detailed descriptions of all the specimens contained in
it. It covered the three kingdoms of nature, including a
considerable number of mineralogical specimens. Some
were well crystallized examples, while others were con-
sidered very rare.
Vincents collection was one of the foremost Wun-
derkammern in Holland, and when they individually
toured the country, it was visited by Czar Peter the
Great and Charles III, King of Spain. It had been
started in 1674 by Vincents brother-in-law Anthony
Breda, and after his death, the collection was contin-
ued by Vincent and his wife. Originally, specimens were
displayed in Amsterdam, but Vincent moved his fam-
ily and the collection first to Haarlem in 1705 and then
finally to The Hague in 1726. At each location, the col-
lection was open for review to qualified members of the
public. Appreciation for Vincents cabinet is seen by the
material it provided for the works of Valentini, Cramer,
dArgenville, and Knorr. In 1779 the collection, valued
at more than 200,000 French livres, was dispersed at
auction in the Hague.
The catalog presents two spectacular views of the
museums interior. The first, acting as frontispiece to
the first volume, was drawn by the famous Dutch artist
Romeyn de Hooghe and engraved by Jan van Vianen.
It shows the interior when the collection was situated in
Amsterdam. The second double-plate view is used as a
frontispiece to the second volume and illustrates (per-
haps in idealized form) the grander museum Vincent
established in Haarlem. The remaining plates illustrate
the magnificent amories that stored the collections, in-
cluding some minerals. Both natural and ethnographic
items are exhibited, many from the Dutch colonies of
the East Indies and Surinam.

RARE. Published four years after the completion
of the Wondertoonel [which see previous item], this
work has the flavor of a sale prospectus for collection.
Vincent was coming to the end of his life, and perhaps
to disperse information about his collections to a
larger audience, he includes a general description of
the cabinet, translated from the Dutch into French
and Latin from the first part of the Wondertoonel
(Amsterdam, 1706). Interspereced throughout are
reissues of the nine finely engraved plates that
accompanied the earlier work.
Vincent's effort did not bring fourth a buyer
however, and after his death his widow kept managing
the collection. In 1730 she showed the cabinet to
Gersaint, who was pleasantly suprised by the range,
quality, and perfection of the collection. Sometime
thereafter, after difficult negoiations, it was sold to P.
BOUT. When Bout died in 1779, the collection was
disperesed at auction.

Vincent, of Beauvais
Museums, 1904: 3, 253.
VINCENT, OF BEAUVAIS. (Born: 1190?; Died:
Beauvais, France?, 1264?) French dominican &
encyclopedist.
Little is known of Vincent de Beauvais' personal
history. It is thought that he joined the Dominicans
in Paris shortly after 1218, becoming subprior of the
Dominican monastery of Beauvais by 1246. He was
connected with the royal family being librarian and tutor
to Louis IX, and tutor to his sons. With the exception
of visits to Louis IX at Royaumont, he spent all his
religious life in the monastery at Beauvais. A man
of industry, Vincent undertook to write a systematic
and comprehensive treatment of all branches of human
knowledge.

Editio PRINCEPS. Very rare. Printed by Adolf
Rusch in the Strassburg print shop of Johann Mentelin
[see notes below], the date of this first edition of Specu-
lum Naturale (usually given as "not after 1478") was
revised according to a purchase date found in the copy
of the library of the Institution of Electrical Engineers,
London. It forms two volumes of the author's Speculum
Maius, which in a complete set of all four parts, is the
largest incunabula known, consisting of seven enormous
folio volumes, often found bound in ten.
Written in the mid-thirteenth century, the Specu-
lum Maius is the greatest and most comprehensive of
all the encyclopedias generated in the Middle Ages. It
records a very complete overview of all the classical
and ecclesiastical knowledge and information available
to late medieval man. According to the original plan
the work was divided into four main parts dealing re-
spectively with nature, doctrine (science), morality and
history (Speculum Naturale, Doctrinale, Morale, His-
toriale). The text of each of these sections consists of
quoted extracts (some of them very long) from a large
number of Latin, Greek, Arabic and Hebrew writings
(some 450 authors represented). It is a superior effort
over earlier, similar encyclopedias, due to Vincent's ac-
cess to a larger, better library than other compilers.
However, this compilation was more remarkable for its
size than for its quality. Vincent did not take the time to
assimilate his material into an organic text, instead he
quotes from documents available to him without adding

anything new or even applying a commentary to ex-
plain contradictions. The task was immense, and must
have required a long time to compile. Vincent care-
fully quotes passages and assigns the extracts to their
proper authors. During his lifetime Vincent was able
to complete all the volumes with the exception of the
Speculum Morale, which was written between 1310 and
1325. Yet as it was a part of the original plan, this sec-
tion has been included in every printed edition of the
Speculum Mai us.
For the purposes of this work the Speculum nat-
urale is the section of interest. It is organized in the
form of a commentary on the first chapter of Genesis,
and comprises a prologue and 32 books (with a total
of 3,718 chapters). It is printed in two large folio vol-
umes, and the subjects treated include geography, geol-
ogy, mineralogy, agriculture, botany, astronomy, birds,
animals, anatomy, physiology, and psychology. All of
which are extensively discussed in an order suggested by
the Biblical account of the creation. Book 8 describes
precious and semiprecious stones in the form of a lap-
idary, based on the theories of Aristotle and Ibn Sina
and influenced by Albertus Magnus. Book 15 covers As-
tronomy, Astrology, The Seasons, Temporal Divisions of
the Liturgical Year; Book 28, Human Anatomy; Book
31, Human Reproduction; Book 32, Geography, World
History.
Adolf Rusch. (BORN: Ingweiler, Germany, ;
DIED: Strassburg, Germany, 1479) German printer. German
printer. Rusch is also known as the "R-Printer," a
modern nickname derived from the peculiar majuscule
R he used in his publications. Rusch married Johann
Mentelin's daughter Salome, and inherited the family
printing business in 1479. During his father-in-law's life,
Rusch may have worked partly for him and partly as an
independent. The print buisness was in turn succeeded to
by Martin Flach.

Speculum Naturale, 1481
4797. 2nd edition, 1481: Speculum Naturale ... [Strassburg,
Printer of the 'Legenda áurea', about 1481].
2°: [18]f., [1], 300¿
VERY RARE. In the preparation of this colossal work,
he was helped in the purchase of books by his royal
patron Louis IX. The general title of Vincent's work is
"Speculum Majus". The first part, "Speculum naturale",
contains thirty-two books and 3718 chapters, and treats
of theology, psychology, physiology, cosmography, physics,
botany, zoology, mineralogy, agriculture. Book IX, chap.
40, contains an early reference to the use of the magnet for
the purpose of navigation. The edition of the "Speculum
naturale" in the Wheeler collection in the Library of the
American Institute of Electrical Engineers (New York) was
printed in Strasburg, probably in the year 1468. It is
in two royal folio volumes containing 694 double column
pages of 66 lines to the column. Like other incunabula,
it was published without title-page, folio-number or
printer's imprint. The second part, "Speculum doctrinale",
in seventeen books and 2374 chapters, treats of logic,
rhetoric, poetry, geometry, astronomy, instincts, passions,
education, industrial and mechanical arts, anatomy,
surgery, medicine, jurisprudence, and administration of
justice. The third part, "Speculum historíale", in thirty-
one books and 3793 chapters, brings the history of
the world to A.D. 1250. A fourth part, "Speculum
morale" , appears in some additions, but its authenticity is
questioned, Daunou (1761- 1840) affirming that it cannot
be attributed to Vincent. The "Speculum majus" contains
80 books, divided into 9885 chapters, figures which give
some idea of the magnitude of the work accomplished by
the Dominican Friar in the first half of the thirteenth
century. Other works of Vincent of Beauvais are: "De
eruditione filiorum regaliurn" ; "Tractatus consolatorius de

VIOLA, Carlo Maria. (BoRtt: Zara, Dalmatia, 1855;
DlED: 1925) Italian mineralogist.
Viola's father was a sea captain. He was educated in
Dalmatia, Istria, Graz, Vienna and Rome, graduating from
the last as a civil engineer in 1880. For several years, with
the help of a scholarship from the Italian Corps of Mines,
he attended the Mining Academy in Berlin. Returning
to Italy, he was appointed geologist-engineer, working on
irrigation schemes and geological maps. In 1900 he was
appointed chief engineer of the Iglesias mining district
and director of the school of mines there. In 1905, he
was appointed professor of mineralogy at the University
of Parma. For many years he spent pleasurable summers
studying crystallography with P. Groth in Munich and V.
GOLDSCHMIDT in Heidelberg.

Rare. The text is a discussion of the chemical
characters and constituents of minerals and their
relationships in any correct system of mineralogy. The
author notes that all bodies are made up of chemicals,
and that therefore any correct system of minerals will
be based upon their chemistry. Considering the date of
publication, this was a remarkable insight on the part
of Vogelmann.

the previous works of Wallerius, Henckel, Cartheuser,

the text with discussions of earths, salts, hard- earths,
stones including precious, common and figured, and
metals. There is a short description of the merits and
how to form a mineral cabinet for the reader. Then
Volkelt continues with descriptions of the chemical
nature and makeup of minerals. All the discussions
are highly abbreviated due to the modest length of the
book.

Editio PRINCEPS. Extremely rare. Printed
in Erfurt by Hans Spörer [see note below], this
poetic lapidary was written sometime between 1252
and 1254. It describes a variety of gemstones
in 1008 verses, and includes the 12 stones of the
Apocalypse, as well as precious and semiprecious
examples. Information about the stones is derived from
several unnamed sources. Described species include:
Almendein, Topasius, Smaragdus, Karfunckel, Jochant,
Cristall, Achat, Amantist, Crisoleite, Onichilus,
Jaspis, Dyemant, Kappenstein, Carniol, Corail, Antite,
Schwalwenstein, Zinen, Aldropi, Kröttenstein, Merayte,
Calcosan, Perlein, Mucros, Oytalias, Türckis, Elyte,
Calcedon, Sardius, Flammat, Gamachw, Rubein, Balas,
Crisoforas, Granat and Jachänt, Diacoda, Barill,
Sarderein, Crisopras, Augstein, Ademast, Crisolitus,
Topasius, Gagatometus, and Domedus.
This description is principally based upon the
information provided by Sudhoff (1908), who mentions
a modern (to him) reprinting of the text, "Büsching
(Museum II, 56)," which so far has not been traced.
The Hans Lambei 1877 edition also mentions this earlier
text.
Hans Spörer. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German
printer. Spörer printed two block books in 1471 and 1473.
He next surfaces in 1487 as a printer in Bamburg, where
his press produced continuously until 1494. In 1494, he
reestablished himself in Erfurt to escape punishment for
printing an unflattering squib about the Duke Albert of
Saxony. He continued to work in Erfurt until the close of
the century.

VREESWYK (Vreeswijck), Goossen van. (Born:
1626; DIED: c1689) Dutch mining expert & alchemist.
Vreeswyk was employed by the Dutch West-India
company as "Bergwerker" and "Bergmeester." He worked
in different countries of Europe and America.
Goossen van Vreeswyk was a much-travelled expert
on mining who had an extensive knowledge of minerals. In
the 1670s and 80s he wrote nine alchemical works, which
consist of alchemical philosophy, practical instruction and
recipes for preparing extracts drawn from the animal,
vegetable and mineral kingdoms. He was particularly
inspired by the writings of Basil Valentine from which
he continually quotes, and he also relies on Paracelsus as
an authority. He also employs imagery from the Bible.
Many of his works are illustrated with elaborate series
of engravings which have a more symbolic and hermetic
content. They often use an enigmatic juxtaposition
of imagery - trees, vessels of liquid, fire, vegetation
and animals - which have alchemical symbols of various
substances, the metals, antimony, sal ammoniac, sulphur,
tartar, etc., placed upon them.

VERY SCARCE. This is a catalog of the ancient
artifacts, fossils and minerals contained in the immense
Egyptian collection of Cardinal Borgia, then housed in
Rome and Velletri. The collections were founded in
the early part of the 17th century by Cardinal Scipio
Borgese [1734-1782], nephew of Pope Pius V. Using the
classification methodology of Werner and Emmerling,
Wad lists both natural specimens and gives accounts of
ancient jewelry and precious and semi-precious stones
cut from the material. The most valuable parts of the
collection were confiscated by Napoleon, and moved to
Paris, for which 15 million francs compensation was
promised. However, it was never paid in full. A new
collection was formed on the remnants of the original
between 1820 and 1850 by the Princes Borghese. These
collections are today in the Museo Borgiano, Rome, and
in the National Museum, Naples.

WADA, Tsunashirõ. (BORN: Obama, province
Wakasa, Japan, 15 March 1856; DIED: Tokyo,
Japan, 20 December 1920) Japanese mining expert &
mineralogist.
In 1876, while still a student, Wada wrote a
textbook of mineralogy and in the next year a textbook of
crystallography. Both of these became popular references
at Japanese Universities. In 1878, after completing studies
at the University of Tokyo, he entered into the Home
department. There, in 1880, he became director of the
Geological Survey and in 1889 the Mining Bureau. From
1885 to 1891, Wada also took on the role of professor of
mineralogy and lithology at the University of Tokyo. Wada
retired to private life in 1893. By request of the Emperor,
he was admitted to the House of Peers in 1917. The large
mineral collection he accumulated throughout his life was
acquired by the University of Tokyo.

the few accounts in English of the mineralogy of Japan.
Notwithstanding the comparitively small geographic size of
Japan and the fact that its mineral resources are limited,
the country has produced a large number of mineral species,
many of them of peculiar interest either because of rarity or
of the beauty of their crystallization. This volume provides
an excellent summary of the subject. Concise accounts
of the species known to occur are given together with
exact statements about localities and numerous chemical
analyses. A series of fine black and white heliotype plates

RARE. This book describes and realistically
illustrates Sir ALEXANDER Crichton's fine collection of
Russian minerals. Crichton's collection was eventually
sold at auction in April 1827 [for a description of
this catalog, see under CRICHTON]. The volume
begins with an historical introduction discussing the
collecting of minerals in Russia, including brief sketches
of the prominent collectors and their collections.
Descriptions of Crichton's finest specimens follow,
including numerous topaz, beryl, and tourmaline
crystals. Complimenting many of the descriptions
are the plates which contain the author's very good
renderings of many of the discussed specimens. Wagner
also executed the fine portrait of GOTTHELF FISCHER
VON WALDHEIM that is used as a frontispiece.

Wagner graduated from the University of Halle with
his medical degree in 1724. He then opened practices in
Bayreuth followed by Erlangen. He was appointed city

EXTREMELY BARE. No more published. Wagner's
Pictures of the Rarest and most Beautiful Pieces from
the Princely Natural History Cabinet in Bayreuth is
listed in only a few of the standard bibliographies.
Only four sections were issued of this work that was
envisioned to describe and illustrate all of the most
interesting specimens contained in the Wunderkammer
in Bayreuth. Printed in color and finished by hand, the
plates show partly (I) a small American monkey, (VII)
a South American frog, (XI) an American Armadillo,
and (XII) a Mexican chameleon. According to the
prospectus (which occupies the 4 pages at the beginning
of the volume and is written in French and German),
the work would consist of livraisons containing 4 plates
each and would be strictly limited to the number
of subscribers. However, probably due to Wagner's
death in 1764, publication stopped. No copy has
been examined to determine if this book has any
mineralogical content.

1864] published an account of the fossils contained in
the Bayreuth collection in his Verzeichniss der in der

Rare. First edition of this major palaeontological
work, based upon Walch's cabinet of fossils and
minerals. 'In his travels Walch had visited natural
history collections and had begun to assemble one
himself, composed primarily of rocks and fossils, for
which he outlined an exact system that he published
in 1761 [sic; it should read 1762] - 1764' (DSB). It
was this work which formed the classificatory basis
of his completion of Knorr's 'Die Naturgeschichte der
Versteinerungen' (1768-1773), the greatest work on
fossils published in the eighteenth century. 'In this work
Walch presented the first comprehensive palaeontology
ordered according to the zoological system... Moreover,
in addition to a basic systematics of all the forms
known to him, Walch provided a general paleontology
(deposition, sedimentary faciès, faciès distribution)
and a history of palaeontology that is still worth
reading. His recognition that fossils are members of a
sequence linked by historical descent was a fundamental
perception. Walch made the previously muddled study
of fossils into a science' (ibid.). The first volume
consists of an overview of the mineral kingdom, and an
examination of fossils; the twenty-four plates illustrate
over a hundred fossil specimens. The second volume is
on the origins of minerals and fossils.
The plates are very well executed drawings
principally of fossil shells, croniods and moullusces.

detailed account of the glaciers of the Tyrol. Little
study had been given glaciers until the nineteenth
century because the places where they occured were
avoided by travellers in prior centuries. This work also
contains a classification of glaciers, and a description of
various warning signs of potential avalanches.

Waldin graduated from the University of Jena, with
advanced degrees in mathematics and philosophy. In 1758,
he was appointed adjunct to the philosophical faculty at
Jena and in 1765 he was made professor extraordinary.
However, in 1766, he accepted a position as professor of
logic and metaphysics at the University of Marburg. In
1782, he also became a professor of physics. He was
appointed founder and curator of the University's mineral

VERY RARE. First published catalog of the
Hessischen University mineral collection at Marburg
(today Philipps University). Waldin was appointed
founder and first curator of the mineral collection in
1790. In this role he applied himself with distinction,
helping to build the collection into one of Germany's
finest. He acquired some material from Nathanael
GOTTFRIED Leske and convinced the University's
administration to provide a yearly stipend to purchase
additional specimens.

Marburg, Germany. Philipps University, Mineralogical
Museum. . Founded 1790. The mineral collection has
close historic connections to the chair of mineralogy at the
Philipps-University of Marburg. By decree of the Count
of Hessia, a "Hessian Mineral Cabinet" was created in
1790. The first curator was J.G. Waldin [1728-1795] and
was followed in succession by J.C. Ullmann [1771-1821],
J.F.C. Hessel [1796-1872], C.A.H. Girard [1814-1878], A.
von Koenen [1837-1915], F.G. Klocke [1847-1884], M.A.
Bauer [1844-1917], O. Weigel [1881-1944], F.H. Laves [1906-
1978], H.G.F. Winkler [1915-1980] and E.E. Hellner [1920-
]. Today, the collection contains 60,000 minerals and 150
meteorites.

History
Wallerius
WALLERIUS, Johan Gotschalk. (Born: Stora
Mellösa, Nerke, Sweden, 11 July 1709; DIED:
Uppsala, Sweden, 16 November 1785) Swedish chemist,
mineralogist & agriculturist.
Wallerius studied at the University of Uppsala, then
taught medicine at Lund, before returning to Uppsala in
1735 as a lecturer in medicine. As a member of the medical
faculty, he taught physiology and anatomy, but he also had
an interest in chemistry and mineralogy. To pursue these
subjects, Wallerius set up a chemical laboratory, where
experiments were carried out and lectures on chemistry,
mineralogy and assaying given. In 1750, Wallerius was
appointed to the newly created professorship of chemistry
at Uppsala, in which capacity he served until failing health
caused his retirement in 1767. He moved to the country,
where he continued to pursue his natural history and
agricultural studies.

mineral mentioned, including the name etc. He
also for the first time gives more weight to essential
chemical properties than to exterior appearance, which
foretold a new epoch in mineralogy. His classification
scheme which is related to that used by L INNE AUS' and
Bromell's assigns an Order, Class, Genera and Species
to each mineral individual. These mineral species are
then more generally distributed into divisions of Terrae,
Lapide, Minerae and Concreta.
The work begins with a brief description of
the history of mineralogy, followed by the systematic
mineral descriptions.

VERY SCARCE. This work is divided into two
sections. In the first, Wallerius has compiled a list of
all the important systems of mineralogical classification
from the birth of Christ down to his own time. Each
system is described in detail and the author has
occassionally added important notes as to the schemes
merits. In the second section of the work, Wallerius
describes what the characteristics of a good mineral
system should be, using examples from the schemes
described in the first part.

Wallis graduated from Queen's College, Oxford, with
his B.A. in 1737, followed by his M.A. in 1740. He
afterwards became curate of Simonburn, Northumberland,
where he began to collect material that described the
natural history of the area. In 1792, due to infirmity, he
retired. After his death the next year he left a small but
valuable library of works, mainly on natural history.

WARD, Henry Augustus. (Born: Rochester, New
York, U.S.A., 9 March 1834; DIED: Buffalo, New York,
U.S.A., 4 July 1906) American naturalist & explorer.
Ward had an excellent mind and an adventurous
nature, and his interests in natural science took him to
Harvard and the Paris School of Mines. He began to
collect geological specimens and soon was traveling from
Europe to Africa, to visit many localities. He became
especially interested in meteorites. Returning to Rochester
In 1860, he taught natural science at the University of
Rochester, until he founded in 1862 Ward's Natural Science
Establishment, through which he marketed natural history
specimens. This firm still exists till today. Ward died as

RARE. Henry Ward had been collecting meteorites
for several decades, when in 1897 his wealthy wife Lydia
Coonley Ward and the noted mineral collector Clarence
Bernent purchased a fine collection of meteorites.
However, with in a short interval, Avery Coonley,
Henry's stepson bought out Bement's interest. Henry
was then given the authorization and resources to
transform the accumulation into a major meteorite
collection. Thus began the genesis of the Ward-Coonley
collection, which formation is fully described by Burke
(1986). By 1900 the collection numbered 424 specimens,
and in April, 1901, Ward signed an agreement with
the American Museum of Natural History in New York
City for first right of refusal, although Ward had to
pay for the transportation costs and arrange for display
cabinets. There, the meteorites sat on display for
years, but the museum did not exercise its option.
After Ward's sudden death, his widow arranged for the
collection's sale to the Field Museum of Natural History
in Chicago, Illinois, where it formed the nucleus of their
fine meteoritic holdings.

Rare. REWORK COMMENTARY: Appently an
expanded description description of the cabinet of
Christian Nicolai. The collection described in this
auction catalog is an interesting example of a natural
history Wunderkammer, catalogued in great detail
by Warlitz. Classified into animal, vegetable and
mineral sections the collection starts, in the classic
style, with a human skeleton, a mummified head and
funerary urns, gall stones and bezoars, various horns
and skulls, including a hippopotamus, and various
marine teeth. The vegetable section includes coconuts
and datura nuts, ipecacuana root from Brazil and the
'serpentaria Virginiana' recommended by Robert Boyle
for the tertian-fever. The minerals include amber, a
fossil unicorn, specimens of coral and a piece of terra
Melitensi or 'Malta earth'. The whole collection has
a pharmaceutical air about it and the specimens were
clearly selected as curiosities and wonders of nature
from the more outlandish corners of the materia medica.
Warlitz provides an extensive list of names of all the
authors he has consulted and interesting notes on
each item with reference to the printed catalogues of
earlier Wunderkammern which contained comparable
specimens.

Rare. According to the title page, this second
edition of the work has been improved by Karl
Haushofer [see note below], and has been enlarged to
include those minerals found in the alpine regions. After
a short introduction the described mineral species are
arranged according to Kobell's Mineralogie (3rd ed.,
Leipzig, 1864). Each of these is then illustrated as
one or two figures on one of the 64 chromolithographie
plates that are scattered throughout the volume. These
plates are apparently unique to the work and were not
reproduced elsewhere; however, they are not depictions
of the best quality and have an amateurish look about
them.
According to the preface the first edition of this
work appeared under the title, Die Mineralien Baiera 's
und beschränkte sich auf Mineralien und Gesteine dieses
Landes (München, cl850), which described the minerals
found in Bavaria. However, no copy of this book
has been traced. Perhaps this first appearance was
included as a section in some other unknown natural
history work, or is part of the unpublished two volume
monograph Abbildungen von Pñanzen, Insekten und
Mineralien in München cited by Nissen (BBI, no. 2120).
In its second edition, Die Mineralien in 64 colorirten
Abbildungen appears to be a companion volume to
Weber's Die Alpen-Pñanzen Deutschlands und der
Schweiz in colorirten Abbildungen nach der Natur und
in natürlicher Grösse (3rd ed., München, 1872, 4 vols.,
400 color illus.).
Karl Haushofer. (BORN: Munich, Bavaria, Germany,

1895) German mineralogist. Haushofer graduated from the
University of Munich in 1864 with his Ph.D. From 1865 to
1868 he was a docent at the University, then he was named
a professor extraordinary of the Polytechnicum. He was a
member of the Academy of Science in Munich.

army. By 1653, various accounts say he became a popular
preacher and theological disputant in London. He is best
remembered for his The Displaying of Supposed Witchcraft
(London, 1677) that attacked the existance of witches and
warlocks and their dark practices.

VERY SCARCE. The Metallographia: or, an
History of Metals is dedicated to Prince Rupert. It
praises Bernard Trevisan, Basil Valentine, Paracelsus
and Van Helmont, and belongs as much to the history
of alchemy as to that of mineralogy. As its full fftle
shows, it is devoted in large part to "the discussion
of the most difficult questions belonging to mystical
chemistry, as of the Philosophers' gold, their Mercury,
the liquor Alkahest, aurum potaWle, and such like."
The early pages of the volume are devoted to a
critical bibliography of those authors that have treated
of metals and minerals. It divides them into three
groups: the speculative, who have produced more chaf
than corn; the mystical or chymists; and experimental
observers. Morhof two years later criticized Webster's
book as largely taken from Gernan authors with a few
observations of his own. Boyle's Sceptical Chymist is
not mentioned, while the alchemical views of Rhumelius
are set forth at some length in the eighth chapter.
Eighteen chapters are then devoted to the seven
metals; chapter 27, to antimony, bismuth, zinc and
cobalt; chapter 28, to cadm a, chrysocolla, caeruleum,
aerugo, talc, the magnet, bloodstone, schist, lapis
lazuli, etc.; and the final chapter, to transmutation. A
contemporary reviewer was impressed by the apparent
inconsistency that, while drinking the scrapings of rusty
brass is fatal to many animals, driving a brass nail into
meat and especially game keeps it from decay.
Webster supports the view that metals and
minerals originate from "seeds" growing within the
earth, much as plants grow on the surface. He collects
together a great deal of information from old and
contemporary authors including some Germans and
adds his own observations.

VERY RARE. The book is partly an encyclopedia
of all sciences, mainly physical, chemical, medical, and
astrological, and partly a vast collection of various
recipes. Wecker's Secretis is perhaps the most widely
used and frequently reprinted "book of secrets" . It
is essentially an encyclopedia of recipes and trade
secrets, collected from about 150 different authors. It
includes secrets of metals, of glass, of jewels, and how
to counterfeit them, of meteors, as hail, rain, snow.

VERY SCARCE. Wecker's encyclopaedia of all sciences
was first published in Basle by Perna in 1582 and throws
much light on 16th century practises. Johann Jacob Wecker
(1528-86) was a physician at Basle and Colmar and wrote
a number of popular medical works. The present work, his
best known, was reprinted many times and soon translated
into French and English. It derives in part from the work
attributed to Alessio Piemontese De secreti first published
at Venice in 1555 and later translated into Latin by Wecker
in 1559.

WEIGEL, Christian Ehrenfried. (Born: Staslund,
Germany, 24 May 1748; DlED: 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.

VERY RARE. Read as a dissertation upon Weiss'
appointment to the Physics chair at Leipzig, this work
helped lay the foundation of modern crystallographic
studies. It outlines the differences between Haüy's
prevailing crystallographic theories and the author's
own ideas about the meaning of crystal symmetry.
Haüy considered the relationship between crystal faces
to be the fundemental indicator of geometric form.
Weiss imporved upon this idea, by proposing instead a
method for determing geometric characteristics by using
the relationship between sines and cosines of the angle
made between a crystal face and the crystallographic
axes. By describing the faces of the crystals in relation
to the three main axes that Weiss called a, b and
c, he created an easy method of relative crystal face

VERY RARE. In this thesis, which continues
ideas expressed in the De Indagando Formarvm
Crystallinarvm of the same year, Weiss emphasized the
importance of direction in crystals, attributing their
formation and rationality of crystal faces to a generating
force that is directional in nature. Crystallographic
axes had a physical significance and could therefore
be used as the foundation of a system of crystal
classification. Weiss proposed to classify crystals into
four main systems, with subdivisions, by considering
crystallographic axes mutually perpendicular to one
another. He begins by dividing crystals into two
principal categories. The first division consists of
crystals with three axes, each perpendicular to the other
two. Three possibilities were noted to occur in this
division: 1) the lengths of all axes were equal, 2) the
lengths of two axes were equal, while the third was
either shorter or longer, and 3) the lengths or all three
axes were different. By this means Weiss distinguished
the present isometric, tetragonal, and orthorhombic
crystal systems. The second major division Weiss noted
consists of three equally spaced axes at right angles
to a fourth axis. Currently, this is recognized as the
hexagonal or trigonal crystal system.
Related work, 1815: Weiss continued to develop his
theory, and in December, 1815, he read a memoir to
the Academy of Berlin, titled: Uebersichliche Darstellung
des verschiedenen natürlichen Abteilungen der Kristallisations-
Systeme (see: Ahhand. könig. Akad. Wissen. Berlin (1814-15),
pp. 289-344). In this paper, Weiss continues to improve
on his system of crystal classification, but it was Friedrich
Mohs in his Grundriß der Mineralogie (1822) that correctly
analyized oblique axes and proposed six crystallographic
systems.

History
Werner.
Werner was born into a family with a mining
tradition; therefore, it was expected he should enter
the profession. In 1774, as a student at the Freiberg
Bergakademie, he wrote his first book, Von den äußerlichen
Kennzeichen der Foßilien, and based upon its merit, in
1775, Werner was appointed professor of mineralogy at
that institution. He remained there the rest of his
professional life. He was by accounts an electrifying
teacher, who devoted himself to developing the sciences
of mineralogy and geology. His students, many of whom
became famous instructors in there own right, spread his
theories throughout Europe and North America. However,
Werner's idea that basalt was aqueous in origin sparked the
great controversy between his theory and that of Scottish
geologist James Hutton [1726—1797]. Werner accumulated
an extensive personal mineral collection of over 10,000
specimens, which he sold for 40,000 talers to the Freiberg
Bergakademie. Today, it is together with Werner's library
among the earliest of the great collections that still remains
intact.

determinative mineralogy. Werner who wrote this
book, his first, as a student, at the youthful age
of 24 had been around minerals and mining his
entire life. He had practical experience in what
was needed by the miners to identify minerals, and
the reasons for identification. Werner had originally
intended to publish an annotated translation of the
dissertation written by J OH ANN CARL GEHLER titled:
De Characterivs Fossilivm Externis (Lipsiag, 1757).
After showing the completed translation to his scientific
circle, he was advised to that it was better to write a
book that was wholly his own. The result was Von den
äusserlichen Kennzeichen der Fossilien, which took the
young Werner only a few months to complete. Based
upon this books merits, Werner was appointed to the
staff of the Freiberg Bergakademie, where he stayed the
remainder of his professional life.
The book is written not as a mineralogical
classification system as was then typical, but rather
as a compendium of external characteristics of a large
number of minerals. Werner intended it to be used as a
practical guide for mineral identification, and proposed
that this study be given the name "oryctognosy." —
a term previously applied in a wider sense, such
as Bertrand's Dictionnaire Oryctologique Universelle
(Paris, 1763). For his book Werner precisely defined an
unprecedented number of external characteristics that
could be used to accurately identify specimens through
hand examination. Included in the distinguishing
features identified for use are color, luster, form, streak.

hardness, and specific weight. Werner claimed that
determining all of these qualities for a given mineral
specimen was enough to identify its species. In fact,
these same characters are readily found in modern
handbooks of determinative mineralogy because in most
cases they are enough to distinguish the common
species. The landmark character of Werners work rests
on the fact that no one before had so precisely defined
the properties used to test minerals, and the effect on
mineralogical science can be described as revolutionary,
with many of his former students writing their own
texts to spread Werner's theories in a multitude of other
languages.

Albert Victor Carozzi. (BORN: Geneva, Switzerland,
26 April 1925; DIED: ) Swiss/American geologist &
science historian. Carozzi was educated at the University
of Geneva (M.S., geology and mineralogy, 1947; Dr. Sc,
geology and mineralogy, 1948). Afterward, he was for a
time a lecturer at the University of Geneva. Then in 1957,
he accepted a position as associate professor of geology at
the University of Illinois. He became full professor in 1959,
and professor emeritus in 1989, after over 30 years of service
at the University. His concentration on the exploration and
evaluation of mineral deposits and petroleum resulted in
his working as a consulting geologist to major American,
European and South American companies. Through his
numerous writings and translations (some completed with
his wife, Marguerite Carozzi), he is recognized as a
distinguished historian of geology.

SCARCE. Translation by Madame Guyton— Morveau
with additional notes by her husband, Louis Bernard
Guyton-Morveau [see notes below], of Von den äusserlichen
Kennzeichen der Fossilien (Leipzig, 1774). Recognizing
Werner's work to be a reformation of mineralogy, Guyton-
Morveau encouraged his wife (refered to as Mme. P.***
in the approbation, p. xxx, in reference to her maiden
name of Picardet) to translate the textbook into French.
However, it was not until 1790 that it appeared. Even
so, the translation was readily accepted by the scientific
community.
Mme Guyton-Morveau writes in the preface that in
1786 the Spanish scientist, DON FAUSTO D'ELHUYAR, stopped
by her home in Dijon and told her that Werner was
occupied in translating Cronstedt's mineralogical textbook
and would not write a second edition of his famous book. In
addition, she records that d'Elhuyar sent her copies of his
class notes obtained while attending Werner's lectures as a
student in Freiberg. These arrived in the form of a copy
of the textbook in which were interbound a great number
of manuscript pages containing numerous modifications
and corrections. As a result of these additions, the 1790
translation is the original text significantly modified in
many respects. Mme Guyton-Morveau herself writes that
she almost considers this a new edition when compared to
the original. It is the best contemporary translation of
Werner's textbook.
Madame Guyton-Morveau (formerly Picardet). (BORN:
; DIED: Dijon, Côte d'Or, France (?), after 1796) French
translator. Sister of C.-N. Picardet [?-cl794], canon of
Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Dijon. Wife of L.B. Guyton-
Morveau, she prepared translations of several textbooks
related to chemistry.
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 a lawyer by profession and 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.

SCARCE. Translation by Thomas Weaver [see note
below] of Von den äusserlichen Kennzeichen der Fossilien
(Leipzig, 1774). In the introduction, Weaver writes that
since Werner is not presently writing a new edition, he feels
compelled to translate the original edition with additional
material. Sources for the additions are stated to be
principally copies of Werner's manuscript corrections and
addtions circulated among his students, notes taken during
his lectures given during 1791-2, and the mineralogies of his
disciples WlEDENMANN and Emmerling, and the Manual of
Natural History by BLUMENBACH.
Thomas Weaver. (BORN: 1773; DIED: Pimlico,
England, 2 July 1855) English geologist. From 1790 to 1794,
Weaver attended the Freiberg Bergakademie, where he
studied under WERNER. After graduation, he was appointed
a government geologist in Wicklow. Later he worked as a
consultant in Mexico and the United States. Weaver was
elected to the Royal Society in 1826.

VERY RARE. A catalog describing the fine mineral
collection of the Saxon mining official Karl Eugen Papst
von Ohain [see note below]. The first volume begins
with a lengthy introduction in which Werner explains
in detail his mineral classification system. This is
followed by descriptions of the minerals, arranged in five
separate sections according to external characters, the
use of the minerals, a natural method of classification,
the localities of the specimens and the historical
development of the earth's crust.
Karl Eugen Pabst von Ohain. (BORN: Freiberg,
Germany, 8 April 1718; DIED: Freiberg, Germany, 25 July
1784) German mining expert. Pabst von Ohain was director
of the Freiberg Bergakademie from its founding in 1769
until his death. In his lifetime he was considered among
the most knowledgeable mineralogists in Saxony, having
built a collection of over 7,500 specimens. After his death,
it was reorganized by WERNER, and sold to the government
of Portugal, which shipped it to the University of Rio de
Janeiro to be used in teaching mineralogy and geology.
Pabst von Ohain was a member of the Leipzig and St.
Petersburg Academies.

Rare. Periodical. In 1808, a group of supporters
for Werner's geological theories, led by Robert Jameson
effectively seceded from the Royal Society of Edinburgh,
and founded the Wernerian Natural History Society,
placing Werner himself at the head of the honorary
membership list. Jameson was elected president, a
position he retained for the existance of the Society,
which lasted until 1838. The creation of this Society
added considerablly to the Huttonian- Wernerian debate
in Scotland, as Hutton, Playfair and Hall remained
members of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Hutton
never had many supporters eventhough his theories held
a powerful grip on the Royal Society of Edinburgh
(Porter, 1980). In contrast, Jameson had far more
followers in the Wernerian Natural History Society
and was able to establish a program of mapping and
descriptive geology that was of real importance to
Scottish geology. However, the unity of the Wernerian
Society lay in loyalty to the theories of Werner and
his principal advocate in Scotland, Jameson. Many
members of Society were Jameson's pupils or ex-pupils,
and "it flourished and decayed in pulse with his own
interests in Wernerian geognosy" (Porter, 1980). Thus,
when the Neptunists were defeated, the Wernerian
Natural History Society lost its purpose, and ceased to
exist.
In 1826, while the great American naturalist
John James Audubon searched in Great Britain for
a publisher for his ornithological masterpiece, Birds
of America, he was invited to the Wernerian Society.
He recorded his impressionsions of this visit in his
journal: "We enter the room of the Wernerian Society of
Edinburgh! What a name it has in America! The room
is a plain oblong square, and two tables, one chimney,
many long seats, and a chair for the President were all
I saw there with the exception of a stuffed Swordfish
on the table for examination that day. Several persons
were already present. I unrolled drawing of the Buzzard
for them to look at. Professor Jameson came in. I knew
the secretary Patrick Neill, Mr. Witham, Professor
Russell Szc. P. Neill read my letter on the Buzzard

a eulogy about it, all my work, and lastly about myself.

... offered me as an Honorary Member of the Society.
Everyone clapped hand and stamped the floor [as a]
mark of approbation. Then the professor desired that
the usual law of suffering the election to be tried for
months should be infringed upon that I be elected at
the next meeting. The same acclamations took place,
and the Society [adjourned]" (Audubon, 1987: 396).
WESTFELD, Christian Friedrich Gotthard Hen-
ning. (BORN: Apfelstädt, Herzogth., Gotha, Germany,
2 June 1746; DIED: Bückeburg, Germany?, 23 March
1823) German cleric, mineralogist & crystallographer.
In 1766, Westfeld was rector of the city school in
Bückeburg. Then in 1796, he became advisor at Wehnde
near Göttingen.

VERY RARE. Only portion published of a proposed
treatise on mineralogy. In fifteen essays, Westfeld
investigates various studies of mineralogy. Topics
include Braunstein (pyrolusite), the analysis of silica
stones, fiberous limestone, fiberous silica stones, calcite,
graphite, pyritous limestone, marl, incrustrations of the
salt houses, and most importantly to the history of
crystallography an essay on the constituents of crystals,
which states that all crystals of spar are composed of
rhombohedral pieces, thus anticipating Bergmann. The
experiments performed by the author are repeated more
than once and show a diligence not common during his
time.

Rare. Part One. A truly unique publication,
which like the work of Marbodea written centuries
before, is set in a heroic verse rhyme. It follows
a Wernerian theme, but incorporates the ideas of
Klaproth, Vauquelin and Haiiy. "The design of the
writer, in publishing this small Tract on Earths, is to
facilitate the knowledge of the science, and assist those
who are desirous of studying it, with a step towards the
kingdom of minerals. In doing this, the author makes
an experiment which, should it succeed, may probably
lead him from the Earths and Metals, and from the
Metals to the Inflammables." — Preface. A second part

VERY SCARCE. This is one of about a dozen guides
written to help the field prospector and school student
in America to identify an unknown mineral sample.
Wheeler's Guide was somewhat better organized in its
approach to the problem, being based upon Weisbach's
Tabellen zur Bestimmung der Mineralien, which was
then popular in German academies. That Wheeler
intended his book to be used to locate mineral resources
in the American west is clear from its focus on
mineral species that were indicators of economic mineral
deposits. This book was reissued in 1881 with no
noticeable changes.
Related work, cl880: An advertisement is included at
the end of Wheeler's Eiernentary Guide for another of his
works, Mineralogical Chart. The advertisement describes it
as "consisting of over 200 color illustrations of minerals
species, including all the most important and typical
groups. Lithographs colored by hand. Each chart consists
of 5 sheets of plates, 14 x 24 inches, and 2 columns
of text running the length of the chart. Also available

of science.
Whewell graduated from Cambridge in 1816, and
worked as a tutor there from 1823 to 1838. In 1828, he was
also appointed professor of mineralogy. In 1844, he became
master of Trinity College, Cambridge, a post he held until
1866. Whewell published and edited many works in the
natural and mathematical sciences, philosophy, theology,
and the history of science He was elected a Fellow of the
Royal Society in 1820, as well as the Geological Society for
which he served as president in 1837-8.

essay, the mineralogical classifications proposed by
Mohs and Breithaupt in which physical or external
mineralogical characters determined the classes of the
minerals. Berzelius, Gmelin, Beudant, and Leonhard
championed arrangements according to their chemical
relations. Whewell published here that if these two
divergent methods are to be reconciled, it must be done
through a natural history method.

VERY SCARCE. "In pure science [Whitehurst]
is important chiefly as a geological pioneer who did
work in Derbyshire that was published in a well-known
book ... in 1778. He established for the first time
the succession of the Carboniferous strata: limestone,
Millstone grit (named by him), and coal measures.
Whitehurst formulated the general proposition of a
worldwide orderly superposition of strata, each with
its characteristic lithology and fossils. Although the
proposition was somewhat vaguely imagined, he here hit
on the most significant of all geological generalizations.
... He was among the first to recognize the true nature
and origin of this great class of rocks, the basalts, and
thus to establish the fact of volcanism in past geological
times." — DSB

VERY SCARCE. The species calcite is an almost
inexhaustible subject from the standpoint of the
crystallographer, and many important monographs
have been published describing the forms from different
localities. The author has now taken up the calcites of
New York, which have been obtained from a wide range
of different localities, among which that of Rossie has
been famous for nearly a 100 years. The thoroughness of
this investigation will be appreciated from the fact that
some twenty-five plates are needed to show the different
types of crystals with their wide range of forms; among
these a considerable number of new ones are noted.

mining and mine engineering at the technical high school
in Karlsruhe.

VERY SCARCE. This book, written in respose to
the following question: "Die Umgänge und Uebergänge
einer Erd— und Stein— Art in die andere betreffend?,"
won the prize of the Berlin Royal Academy for the year
1791. It is concerned with the correct classification
of minerals by chemical means. It contains numerous
commentaries on the work of Werner, Bergman,
Kir wan, Cronstedt, Wiegleb, Scheele, and many others.
It also contains an interesting discussion of the origins
of basalt that defend Werner's theories.

der Mineralogie (Leipzig, 1794). Encouraged by ANDRÉS
MANUEL DEL Rio's example, and with the anxious support
of the government to diffuse mineralogical knowledge in
Spain, Herrgen was commissioned to prepare a modern
textbook of mineralogical science. For his foundation, he
choose the prevailing theoretical framework of Werner, and
the most thorough treatise so far published. Widenmann's
Handbuch was prepared with annotations supplied by the
translator. The manuscript was then given over to José
Clavíjo Fajardo [??—??], Director of the Real Gabinete de
Historia Natural (Royal Cabinet of Natural History) in
Madrid, who reviewed it for style and correctness.

RARE. An early and original manual of mineral
identification, in which the minerals are identified
according to three different "mineral systems," a
crystallographic, a physical and a chemical. The
author presents here his own "shortened modification"
of Millers crystallographic notations. For example,
(111) is written abc, (123) becomes ab2c3 and (110)
ab. Of special interest is the part of the book (pp.
80-90) where the author presents his original dynamic
idea of matter, i. e. forces or centra of forces
constitutes the smallest part of the material world.
Elements are complex combinations of multiples of
the atomic weights of the three fundamental elements
hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, whose elementary
forces (dynamider) are positive (passive), neutral and
negative (active) respectively. Numbers that reappear
in the element-series are for example 6 and 8, and

these can be referred to the simple crystal forms the
octahedron and the cube. Reversedly, the morphologies
of crystalline substances give, according to Wiik , clues
to the relative combination of the three elementary
forces in the molecules. In this respect mineralogy
serves an important purpose as, according to the
author, the study of crystalforms gives direct evidence
to the fundamental aspects of the physical world.

RARE. Published as the concluding section of the
well-known German natural history work, Unterhaltun-
gen aus der Naturgeschichte, which described and illus-
tratred every aspect of nature. Wilhelm, who wrote
the accompanying text, based his information on the
writings of the famous German mineralogist Werner.
After an introduction that explains what the science of
mineralogy is about, volume one describes oryctognosie,
external characteristics of minerals, crystal morphology,
the different forms of minerals, transparency, hardness,
etc. This is followed by a lengthy section describing
geognosie along Wernerian theories. Volume two in its
introduction describes the systernatics of mineral clas-
sification and the practical aspects of collecting miner-
als. The remaining portion of the book is devoted to a
descriptive mineralogy arranged in a very strange man-
ner. However, Wilhelm's work is almost always sought
today for the many quaint, hand-colored plates it con-
tains that show minerals, fossils, geologic phenomena,
laboratory apparatus and scenic views. The quality of
the illustrations and tone of the writing would indicate
that this work was intended for youthful readers, inter-
ested in learning about the natural sciences, but it is
not recorded in any standard bibliography of children's

literature.
The detailed collation and pagination for this rare
first edition was provided by Leslie M. Overstreet, Cu-
rator of Rare Books, Smithsonian Libraries, based on a
copy held in that collection. The plates are probably
identical to the other versions, as it would have been
economically prohibitive to recreate the thousands of
images for the complete work, which originally appeared
in 25 volumes between 1794 and 1828. The right to
publish the work, together with a stock of plates was
then purchased by the Viennese publisher Anton Pich-
ler, who published another edition of the Unterhaltun-
gen including the mineralogy volumes [which see next
entry]. Then in 1834, a 'New Edition' was brought out
in Augsburg by J. A. Schlossers, who had acquired the
remaining stock from the original publisher, Martin En-
gelbrecht [which see subsequent entry].

VERY SCARCE. A clear and concise review of
pseudomorphism, containing a critical summation of
all facts and explanations pertaining to the phenomena
as it relates to the mineral kingdom. Two types of
pseudomorphism are described. The first, produced
principally from atmospheric effects, causes the original
material to be altered. The second, produced through
mineralizing solutions, replaces the orginal mineral with
a new mineral that is carried in the solution. The
book describes specific replacements, gives commentary
of the viewpoints of Blum, Haidinger, Landgrebe, and
others, and contains a large descriptive section.

Wirsing operated a successful business as an engraver
and publisher in Nürnberg, Germany. He was also the
founder of a family of talented German artists. In his
youth, he apprenticed to a Nürnberg art dealer, whose
daughter he eventually married. Wirsing then expanded
the family business into engraving and publishing, which
became particularly renowned for realistic depictions of
natural objects such as birds, animals, flowers, insects, etc.

Rare. This highly attractive book describes
and illustrates specimens of ornamental marble,
and provides mineralogical details of occurrences in
locations throughout Germany. Unlike the present day
meaning, the word marble during the late eighteenth
century referred to any stone that could be cut and
polished for decorative purposes; therefore, it is not
surprising that each plate of this work illustrates from
4-9 rectangular tablets of polished stone. The spectrum
of colors and patterns inherent in natural rock is
accurately reflected in the fine hand-colored plates,
which exhibit an extraordinary range of patterns of
color in their figures. The specimens are classified
according to the locality from which they originated
and numerically keyed to the text. This original edition
appears to be the scarcer of the two published editions,
perhaps indicating that the remining uncolored plates
were incorporated into the Amsterdam edition [see next
entry].

Rare. This true polyglot edition with 100
brilliant, hand-colored plates of marble specimens from
all parts of Europe is one of the finest works to come
from the Amsterdam scientific publishing firm of Jan
Christian Sepp. The work was originally issued in 10
parts each covering a different part of Europe where
marble was quarried. The number of examples on
each plate ranges from 2-9 and these are numerically
keyed to the text written by the German naturalist
Casmir Christoph Schmidel, which is set in four
parallel columns (Dutch, German, English, French),
with the Latin below. Careful examination reveals the
intrigue patterns printed on the plates that were used
by the color ist in applying the color wash. In every
case, the individual specimens are shown in a squarish-
rectangular format, with shadowing giving the plates
a three dimensional appearance, and a colorful almost
abstract look.
This is the only Amsterdam edition, which utilizes
some of the same plates as the original Nürnberg edition
of 1775 [see previous entry], as indicated by the signing
of "A.L. Wirsung exc. Nor." Side-by-side comparison of
the two editions suggests that these plates were printed
in Germany but probably colored in Sepp's publishing
house. The most complete collation of this work calls
for 100 plates, which includes a supplement of 6 plates,
with the text describing entries upto Tabula 75 only.
Copies in this state are exceptionally rare. Landwehr
also calls for a frontispiece which was missing from the
all copies examined for this entry.

July 1675; DIED: Cassei, Germany, 3 December 1726)
German physician, palaeontologist & geologist.
Wolfart graduated from the University of Giessen
in 1696 with his M.D. In 1703, he became professor of
physics and anatomy at the Gymnasium of Hanau. He
also established a medical practice in the city. In 1708,
Wolfart was named a professor of physics and anatomy
at the Collegium Carolinum. He was a widely respected
physician being named Landphysicus for Hessia in 1716.
He also held membership in the Leopolinische Akademie.

VERY SCARCE. No more published. Only this first
part of this work was published, and it deals mostly with
paleontology, although there are two plates of minerals
(I and XXIII). The specimens described were found by
the author in the vicinity of Hessia in Germany.
The portrait of Wolfart called for by Cobres and
Nissen is either extraordinarily rare or most likely a
phantom. In numerous bookseller entries examined,
as well as many library and bibliography citations, no
other mention of a portrait was found.

CONTENTS: Other than a newly set title page, the
contents are identical to the 1719 edition.
VERY RARE. This "Editio Secunda" is apparently a
reissue of the original text with a new and significantly
changed title page, omitting the "Pars Prima," and
calling Wolfart "olim," meaning the book must have been
published after Wolfart's death in 1726. This perhaps
indicates that these copies were acquired from Wolfart's
estate in 1726 and reissued by the bookbinder Johann
Georg Damm. The remainder of the book is identical to
the 1719 first edition. [Entry by Andreas Mueller]

WOLFF, Christian, Freiherr von. (BORN: Breslau,
Germany, 24 January 1679; DIED: Halle, Germany, 9
April 1754) German physician.
Wolff went to school in Breslau at the Magdale-
nengymnasium, then in 1699, he spent three years at Jena
studying mathematics and theology. Wolff's first interest
was mathematics. Although he made no original contri-
bution to the discipline, he was an important figure in the
teaching of mathematics who was instrumental in introduc-
ing the new mathematics into German universities. After
the early years teaching mathematics, he was primarily a
philosopher who developed the most impressive coherent
system of the 18th century. Natural philosophy was never
his sole or primary enterprise in philosophy.

From 1706, Woltereck studied theology, jurispru-

left the University without a degree, going to Hamburg
and Rendsburg and practiced around 1716 as a lawyer in
Goslar. In 1717 he was entrusted with the order of archives
of the main church in Wolfenbüttel, becoming in 1720 the
secretary to the Schweiger prime minister and subsequently
other jobs in the government. In 1708, he wrote the Aus-
führlichen Bericht von allerhand neuen Büchern.

VERY RARE. In attempting to organize his mineral
collection in 1740, Woltersdorff found difficulties in
the pervading systems of Gesner, Woodward, and
Scheuchzer. He there after developed his own method
which is an early attempt to classify species by chemical
composition. The text present this classification in
a series of tables in Latin and German. The major
divisions are earths, stones, salts, hard earths, semi-
metals, metals and petrifications.

VERY SCARCE. A quaint, short history of geology,
with good portrait illustrations. The book is clear and
interesting in all its chapters. Stratigraphy assumes an
important role, since it is based upon a succession of
organisms inhabiting the earth, and this is an aspect
of geology that is readily understood. Other disciplines
can only be touched upon due to the small format of the
work. Mineralogy and crystallography are only briefly
covered.
The text is divided into 8 chapters. I. Early
notions about the history of the earth. II. The founders
of geology as a science. III. Geology in the early
part of the nineteenth century. IV. The principles of
geology. V. Local and offical geological surveys and
economic geology. VI. The elucidation of the older
geological systems, with remarks on the history of the
new systems. VII. Palaeontology and the succession of
life. VIII. The Archaean and metamorphic rocks. Great
earth movements. Petrology. Concluding remarks.

WOODWARD, John. (BORN: Derbyshire, England, 1
May 1665; DIED: Gresham College, England, 25 April
1728) English physician, geologist & mineralogist.
Woodward was apprenticed to a linen draper in 1680.
However, Dr. Peter Barwick discovered him, and brought
him into his home for four years (1684-8). There he
was educated in medicine and much else. Woodward
thereafter pursued a medical practice in London. He
was awarded by special dispension of the Archbishop of
Canterbury, 1695, what was called a Lambeth degree,
and in 1697, Cambridge conferred on him an M.D. He
lectured on bile to the Royal College of Physicians, and
was professor of physic at Gresham College from 1692 to
1728. He is said to have been recognized as an authority
on comparative anatomy. Woodward's interests ranged
very widely over natural history and antiquities, but he
is generally considered the first major figure in English
geology. He considered his theory of the earth to be a
defense of Scripture. At his death he received the final
sacrament of the church and professed his Anglican faith,
and he was buried in Westminster Abbey. Woodward
carried out systematic experimentation on plant nutrition
in the early 90s, demonstrating for the first time that water
taken in by the roots is exhaled (or transpired as the word is
now). Woodward was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society
in 1693, and to the Royal College of Physicians in 1703.

SCARCE. On excursions, which started early in his
medical career, he studied both plants and minerals,
and especially fossils. Essay Toward a Natural History
of the Earth, 1695, which established his reputation,
advanced a theory to explain stratification (and the
fossils embedded in strata) by the deposit of debris out
of the deluge. He insisted that fossils were the remains
of once living animals and plants, and he related fossils
to specific rock formations. He formed a large collection
of fossils and minerals, many of which were sent to him
from abroad. He attempted to classify them— Naturalis
historia telluris, 1714; Fossils of All Kinds Digested into
a Method, 1728, which is primarily a classification of
minerals (included in the generic term "fossil"); An
Attempt Towards a Natural History of the Fossils of
England, posthumous, 1729, dealing with minerals as
well. He also wrote an unpublished treatise on the
natural history of ores and metals.

VERY SCARCE. Fossils of All Kinds is one of
the earliest attempts to systemize mineralogy. First
published as an appendix to Naturlis Historia. Telluris
(London, 1714), Woodward translated and enlarged this
essay into the present work. Woodward's system divides
minerals into six classes: 1) Earths, 2) Stones, 3) Salts,
4) Bitumens, 5) Minerals, 6) Metals. In turn each of
these classes is subdivided by the physical properties
of the specimens, including taste, color, touch, etc.
By this method, about 200 minerals are classified and
described. The volume also contains a folding table
(384 x 220 mm., facing page 1) that outlines the overall
classification. The six plates illustrate a discussion of
the origins of stone artifacts.

VERY SCARCE. An Attempt Towards a Natural
History of the Fossils of England was Woodward's
last book, having been issued postumenously. In
itself, the work is a remarkable catalog of the very
large collection of both foreign and English fossils
and minerals the author amassed during his life
time. Between four and five thousand specimens are
arranged and described under eleven separate classes —
the number of classes having been increased by five
over Fossils of AU Kinds Digested (London, 1728).
Volume one describes the minerals and fossils found in
England which Woodward bequeathed, along with an
endowment for a professorship, to Cambridge University,
where, to this day, they are maintained in their original
cabinets, according to Woodward's scheme. The second
volume consists of those minerals and fossils, both
English and foreign, that he thought were of lesser
importance. These specimens were auctioned off along
with Woodward's library on 11 November 1728.

PLATES: The double plate of the interior of the
museum measures 295 x 380 mm. It has the following
description incorporated into the design, "Musei |
Wormiani | Historia | Lugd. Batavorum | Ex Officina
Elseviriana | Acad. Typog: 1655." The portrait of Worm
measures 280 x 185 mm. It is signed at the bottom "C.
van Mander pinxit. G. Wingsdorp sculp." It consists of
an oval frame surrounding Worm's face and shoulders. The
frame is engraved with the text, "Olaus Worm D. Medicinas
In Academia Hafniensi Professor Regius A. M. DC. LIV.
jEtat:LXVI." The engraving is overprinted at the bottom
with two Latin quotations. One in signed "Constanter" and
the other "Th. Bartholinus."
VERY SCARCE. Edited and published posthu-
mously by Ole's son, Willum Worm [1633-1704]. Mu-
seum Wormianum is not a mere inventory of Worm's
collections as was typical of the time. Instead it is a de-
tailed, descriptive and historical catalog of the objects
described. For more than a century after its publication,
this work was a recognized textbook of archaeology, and
it is still valuable as a summary of the scientific opinion
on natural history and especially mineralogy and muse-
ology of the seventeenth century.
Worm's collection took shape between 1620 and
1654. It covered the kingdoms of nature and art, start-
ing with the lowest, namely stones and minerals, then
progressing toward the more complex plants, animals,
and finally to artifical objects created by man. Within
this systematic context Museum Wormianum describes
all manner of various curiousities in the author's collec-
tion of ancient objects, including decorated ivory, coins,
stuffed birds and fish, water plants, dried plants, shells,
minerals, precious stones, etc. The volume usually gives
marvellously detailed descriptions of the objects, and
being a medical man, Worm very often included notes
prescribing the medical uses of the objects.
Aside from the scientific aspects, the main beauty
of the book are the more than one hundred, faith-
ful woodcuts illustrating the described objects. Some
of these have been copied from the earlier works of
Aldrovandi, Mercati and Calceolari [qq.v.], but many
are original, done under Worm's supervision in Copen-
hagen. Included is a fine portrait of Worm, aged 66,
but the most notable is the double page plate showing
the interior of the museum, from which many individual
objects are identifiable. Particularly interesting are the
shark, whale and polar bear hanging from the room's
ceiling. Worm began collecting minerals in 1620 and the
first three chapters of this work are devoted to describ-
ing the stones, fossils and minerals in the collection.

WOULFE
These chapters are equally well illustrated.
From 1648 until his death, Worm had been court
physican to King Frederic III [1609—1670] of Denmark.
He also shared with the King a interest in collecting
natural history objects. After Worm's death, it may
have been at the behest of the King that Museum
Wormianum was published. This is perhaps indicated
by the flattering dedication provided by the books ed-
itor, Willum Worm, and the fact that King Frederic
purchased Worm's collection soon afterward for incor-
poration into the Royal Kunstkammer, where several of
Worm's objects are still identifiable today.
The text is divided into four Liber or books. The
mineralogical portion is contained in Liber I. It con-
tains three sections of which the first concerns fossils
and earths, the second covers stones and the third de-
scribes the rnetals. Liber II describes botanical spec-
imens. Liber III covers animals and Liber IV covers
artifical or manmade objects.
Starting in 1635, the physician Georg Segeri [1629-
1678] began publishing an outline of Worm's arrange-
ment. These appeared in volumes under the title, Syn-
opsis Methodica Rariorum in Museo Olai Wormii (Lug-
duni Batavorum, 1635; 1642; 1645; 1653; 1658).
Another issue, 1655: Museum Wormianum ... Arnstelo-
dami, apud L. et D. Elzevirios, 1655. Identical to the Lug-
duni Batavorum issue except for the place of publication
on the title page. Apparently the Amstelodami imprint is
the much rarer issue.
Karel van Mander III. (BORN: 1610; DIED: 1672) Dutch

the Danish court. He painted portraits of many Danish
courtiers.

WOULFE, Peter. (BORN: Ireland?, 1727?; DIED:
London, England, 1803) Irish chemist.
Little is know of Woulfe's life before his election
in 1767 to the Royal Society, where he was described
as a "Gentleman well skilled in Natural Philosophy and
particularly Chymistry." (DSB) In December 1775, he was
selected to deliver the first Bakerian Lecture at the Society,
which occurred on the 20th June 1776. Woulfe was a good
friend of Joseph Priestley.

Rare. In this paper, Woulfe describes 25
experiments made to determine how the mineralization
by acid of salt (hydrochloric) and acid of vitriol
(sulphuric) occurs. He reaches the conclusion that
only silver and mercury are the only metals naturally
mineralized in this way. Woulfe presented this paper as
the first of the Bakerian Lectures (June 20, 1776).
Henry Baker [1698-1774] had bequested an
endowment to finance a series of yearly lectures at the
Royal Society. Woulfe was nominated in 1775, the
first year the Society received the funds. Although
this substance of this paper was published in the
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (66
(1776), 605ff.), this printing apparently was separate
and not an off-print.

WULFEN, Franz Xavier. (BORN: Belgrade, Serbia, 5
November 1728; DIED: Klagenfurt, Austria, 16 March
1805) Austrian theologian, botanist & mineralogist.
Wulfen was born into a family descended from an
old Swedish— Pomeranian noble family of Rügen Island in
the Baltic. His father Christian Friedrich von Wulfen
was a field marshal in the Austrian army, which afforded
the family a comfortable life. He was educated in the
Gymnasium in Kaschau in upper Hungary [now Kosice,
Czechoslovakia]. At the age of 17, Wulfen entered the
Order of the Society of Jesus (Roman Catholic) in Vienna
as a novice. During his training, he became known both for
his diligence and his talents in mathematics and philosophy.
In 1755 after his education was completed, Wulfen taught
grammar of the classical languages in the Gymnasium
of Görz [now Gorizia, Italy]. The following year he
taught similar subjects at the Theresian Ritterakademie
Wulfen
in Vienna. Subsequentially he gave lectures in the subjects
of mathematics, logic and metaphysics in both Görz and
Laibach [now Ljubljana, Serbia??]. In 1763 Wulfen was
ordained a priest in the Jesuit order, and in 1769 he
was transferred to Klagenfurt, Austria, where he spent
the remainder of his life. There he became known for
his benovolance and charity to those less fortunate than
himself. Wulfen died in his 77th year from an infection of
the lung.
The dramatic beauty of the mountains surrounding
Klagenfurt frequently lured Wulfen to take long hikes
along their slopes. Before coming to Klagenfurt, he had
already established himself as a keen botanical observer by
having published several papers on the subject. But it was
during the excursions through the mountains that Wulfen
conducted the studies into Austrian natural history that he
is best remembered for today.
This research lead him to publish a series of well
illustrated works on the insects, plants and minerals of
the area. Through a long correspondance, Wulfen had
become personally close to the Swede Carl Linné [q. v.]. As
a consequence, in all these publications, Wulfen followed
the theories and nomenclature of Linné. They are also
publications that through out their text show the mark
of an author in love with the subject he is describing.
For the large number of new plant species discovered, a
complete plant genus, Wulfenia (family Scrophulariae) was
named in his honor. Wulfen's contributions to mineralogy
are discussed below.

PLATES: Each of the 21 engraved plates is hand-
colored and shows from one to several examples of the
lead ore specimens Wulfen was collecting in the area
surrounding Klagenfurt, Austria. The first plate is labeled
"Tab. I.", while the remainder are labeled "T. 2" to "T.
21." The artistians signed only the first illustration: "Jo.
Melling, Pinx. A. Amon sc," the remainder of the plates
are unsigned. Descriptions of the figures occur in the text
of the book.
Rare. Wulfen's Abhandlung is one of the
eighteenth centuries finest examples of a book
containing hand-colored mineral illustrations. The
many plates of this work, were probably all engraved
by A. Anon [only the first is signed] from original
paintings by Joseph Melling [see note below]. They
each figure various specimens of the mineral then known
as "gelbbleierz" [golden lead ore] which is the same
mineral that in 1841 WILHELM HAIDINGER scientifically
described and named "Wulfenite," in honor of its
first researcher. However, Wulfen did not confine
himself to routine descriptions of "gelbbleierz." He is
among the first to observe what is now recognized as
paragenesis — the sequential order in which one mineral
is deposited after another. He also assigns exact
localities to every specimen and distinguishes wulfenite
from different localities by means of the specimens
physical characteristics such as color, luster, and crystal
form.

Joseph Melling. (BORN: St. Avoid, Lothr., Germany,
27 December 1724; DIED: Karlsruhe, Austria, 8 November
1764) Austrian illustrator/engraver. Melling learned his
trade as a pupil of the Académie Royale in Paris. He is
today chiefly remembered for the paintings of a religious
nature that embellish the ceilings and alters of churches
throughout southern Germany and Austria.
Herbert Paul Obodda. (BORN: New York City, New
York, U.S.A., 1942; DIED: ) American mineral dealer
& book collector. One of the premier mineral dealers of the
late 20th century and early 21st century, Obodda secured
and sold many important specimens to institutions and
private collectors, most notably those species originating
from Morocco, Afganistan and Pakistan. He is also known
for the superb library of books and manuscripts related
to the sciences of mineralogy, crystallography and mining
that he built over several decades. In the opinion of the
compiler, this is one of the most significant collections
of this type of literature ever accumulated by a single
individual.

Text.
VERY SCARCE. Translation by Joseph Eyerel [see note
below] of Abhandlung vom kärnthnerischen Bleyspate (Wien,
1785). In this edition, Wulfen's long introduction has been
shortened by the translator. For illustrations, the work uses
plates identical to those of the original edition, although
in some cases the plates of this Latin edition have been
either been folded or cropped to accomodate a smaller page
size used in printing the text. This translation appears
to have been published in a larger number of copies than
the original 1785 edition because several copies of this
translation are recorded in U.S. libraries while no copies
of the German are listed.
Joseph Eyerel. (BORN: Kaiserheim, Schwaben,
Austria, 1745; DIED: Vienna, Austria, 22 December 1821)
Austrian physician. Eyerel established a medical practice
in Vienna, where he became a friend and student to the
famous Austrian physican Maximillian Stoll [1742—1787],
to whose works he contributed commentary and editing.
Eyerel translated many medical and natural history works
from Latin, French and Italian into German.

WÜLFING, Ernst Anton. (Born: Elberfeld,
Rheinland, Germany, 27 November 1860; DlED: Bad
Wörishofen, Bavaria, Germany, 17 December 1930)
German mineralogist & petrologist.
Wiilfing studied chemistry at Geneve and at
Heidelberg under Bunsen, from which he graduated in
1884. He turned his attention to mineralogy and
geology, studying at Greifswald and Vienna in 1887-
8. He then became an assistant to H. Rosenbusch at
Heidelberg. He then became successively professor at the
University of Tübingen (1891-9), the Agricultural Academy
at Hohenheim in Württemberg (1899-1904), the Technical
High School at Danzig (1904-7), the University of Kiel
(1907-8) and the University of Heidelberg (1908-1926).
His research was concentrated on the optical properties of
minerals and meteorites.

VERY SCARCE. In 1893, Wülfing decided to
bring Otto Buchner's Die Meteoriten in Sammlungen
(Leipzig, 1863) tabulation of meteorite collections up
to date. For this purpose, he sent out inquiries to 350
public and private collectors, requesting information
on their specimens, especially their holdings and
weights. Soon Wülfing received replies, but he delayed
publication of the information in the hope that waiting
would bring more complete data. He also conceived
the idea of establishing a system of valuation for

specimens. As a first step he separated the meteorites
into groups paralleling Brezina's classification, and
began to calculate the total weight of each group.
In 1897 Wülfing brought out his Die A'leteoriten in
Sammlungen und ihre Literatur that identified 536 falls.
He lists all known meteorites in alphabetical order,
and provides the names of the collections that held
specimens. He also presented a practical formula for
determining an exchange value for specimens, that is
fully described by Burke (1986).

WYROUBOFF, Grigorij Nikolajewitsch. (Born:
Moscow, Russia, 1 November 1843; DIED: Paris, France,
December 1913) Russian crystallographer.
REWORK COMMENTARY: Wyrouboff was appointed
professor of crystallography at the College de France in
Paris in 1886.
He was accepted to the Alexandre College an
encyclopaedic instruction, as well literary as scientific.
After having courses of Medicine followed to the university
of Moscow, it turns to positive Philosophy. But it is finally
its taste for the science which carries it and will make him
devote quarante-cinq years to research in Crystallography
and Chemistry.
It is in 1866 that it publishes its first work on the
colouring substances of the fluorite. Then it launches out
in the study of the crystalline forms and the structure of the
crystals, like their consequences on the physical properties.
Passed main in the determination of the primitive shapes
of the most complicated polyhedrons, it publishes a work
entitled "crystallographic Calculations". It carries out a
great number of crystallizations, seeking a relationship
between the chemical composition and the crystalline form.
Isomorphism retiend its attention, and about 1879 it
disputes the general information of the law of Mitscherlich,
then proposes to restrict the concept of isomorphism. The
rotatory polarization of the light by the crystals gives also
place to many research on behalf of Wyrouboff.
It is not only by its scientific work that it knew to
be made appreciate its contemporaries, but also by its
human qualities, looking after the casualties in 1870. It
is made naturalize in 1889, year when its "Handbook of
Crystallography is published" . Become professor with the
College of France his liberalism attracts attacks to him as
well as sincere friendships. It éteind in December 1913 after
a long disease.

VERY SCARCE. First printing of an important min-
eralogical dictionary containing everything one might
want to know about minerals in 1804. The entries which
are alphabetically arranged include listings for all recog-
nized mineral species, which include listings of the vari-
ous nomenclatures, characteristics, localities, economic
and physical properties, associations, chemistry, and
uses. The work was written for the intended audience
of the beginning mineralogist, collector, knowledgeable
amateur, expert, or miner, and consequently contains a
great deal of information from scattered sources.

VERY SCARCE. This very much expanded second
edition of Zappe's Hand-Lexicon, follows the format of the
1804 printing. However, due to the expansion of the
knowledge of minerals during the early nineteenth century,
the text is considerably longer, with the inclusions of many
new entries. These entries were obtained by the author
by searching comprehensively the old and new literature,
including textbooks and periodical publications in search
of mineralogical nuggets. Zappe has also expanded upon
the nomenclature of the species listed, providing historical
citations and information regarding the older minerals.

ZEISIG, Johann Caspar. German lexicographer.
[fl. mid-1700's]. Zeisig was a German lexicographer
in Chemnitz (?). He had a collection of minerals, rocks,
ores, uncut gem material and coins. He was probablly
originally from Freiberg and published his works under the
pseudonym "Minerophilo Freibergensi."

book to all those readers curious about the mining
and smelting sciences. It provides the reader with
an overview of the scope of the work. The author
explains that various collections (including his own)
were used in giving accurate descriptions of the terms,
most notably with respect to minerals, rocks, ores and
precious stones. He recognizes some of the objects as
coming from Greek and Roman times. For mining terms
he is indebted to Hertwigs Berg=Buch, as well as mine
worker around Chemnitz.
The last 12 pages of the Vorrede are a poem.

first edition of this work was well received, and although
an update had been planned, the author had no time to
spare in revising the text. Therefore, the publisher had
undertaken the task, and it is thought had maintained the
same quality of definitions. The text has been enlarged
with the addition of more terms.

derneath. The first volume covers the period 1790 to
1857, the second 1858 to 1873 and the third 1874 to
1891. The third volume, published from manuscript
material left after Zepharovitch's death, was published
by the Vienna Academy at the cost of the Zepharovich
fund. Each of the first two volumes contains indexes to
localities and mineral species, while the third volume
contains comprehensive indexes to all three texts, in-
cluding a two hundred page index of mineral localities.

VERY RARE. Contrary to what the title suggests,
this is an entirely different work than the many
of the editions of the Probierbüchlein published
during the 16th century. Three other books on
assaying were published in the 16th century, which
though having similar titles are totally independent.
These are Modestin Fachs' Probier Büchlein, Ciriacus
Schreittmann's Probierbüchíein (Frankfurt, 1578), and
Zimmermann's Probierbüchlein.

Zippe received his Ph.D. in medicine and philosophy
from the University of Prague. In 1819, he became adjunct
professor of chemistry at the technical institute in Prague.
In 1826, he was appointed the first custodian of the mineral
collection at the newly erected national museum, and from
1835 to 1849, Zippe was professor of natural history at the
technical institute of Prague. In 1849, he was for a short
period the director of the newly formed Mountain school in
Pribram. In 1850, he was appointed professor ordinary of
mineralogy at the University of Vienna. He was a founding
member of the Vienna Academy of Science.

VERY SCARCE. "The year 1873 was signalized
by the almost simultaneous appearance of two works,
in which the two most distinguished masters in the
domain of microscopically research comprised the
quintessence of their investigations. Under the title,
Die mikroskopische Beschaffenheit der Mitieralien und
Felsarten (Leipzig, 1873), Zirkel gives an introductory
code of instructions as to the use of the microscope,
examination by means of polarized light, and the
methods of producing faithful illustrations. He then
describes the microscopically structure of rock-forming
minerals with special respect to the various kinds of
inclusions and the products of decomposition. The
optical and physical characteristics of mineral sections
are next described; and the results obtained in the
earlier chapters on minerals are applied in the latter half
of the work, which is devoted to the mineral constitution
and structural features of rock-varieties. The work is
fully illustrated by woodcuts." — Zittel. The other book
appeared under the authorship of Rosenbusch [q. v.].

ZITTEL, Karl Alfred von. (BORN: Bahlingen, Baden,
Germany, 25 September 1839; DIED: Munich, Bavaria,
Germany, 5 January 1904) German mineralogist,
geologist & palaeontologist.
Zittel was educated at Heidelberg, Paris and Vienna.
For a short period he served on the Geological Survey of
Austria, and was an assistant in the mineralogical museum
at Vienna. In 1863 he became teacher of geology and
mineralogy in the polytechnic at Carlsruhe, and three years
later he became professor of paleontology in the University
of Munich, with the charge of the state collection of fossils.
In 1880 he was appointed to the geological professorship,
and eventually to the directorship of the natural history
museum of Munich. He was one of the greatest of the
German geologist/paleontologists of the age. From 1899

VERY SCARCE. Published as volume 23 of the
series, Geschichte der Wissenschaften in Deutschland ,
of which FRANZ VON Kobell's Geschichte der
Mineralogie (München, 1864) was issued as volume
2; however, Zittel's work has been more successful
in that it covers a broader subject and it includes
the necessary name index. Zittel divides his study
into four periods. 1. The geological science of the
ancients (pp. 1-12). 2. Beginnings of palaeontology and
geology (pp. 13-75). 3. The heroic age of geology from
1790 to 1820 (pp. 46-215). 4. Newest developements
of geology and palaeontology (pp. 216-843). Within
the last period, the author has created seven sections.
These are: Cosmological Geology, Physiographical
Geology, Dynamic Geology, Topographical Geology,
Stratigraphy, Petrology, and Palaeontology.
