With the Latin translation of the first centuria of Reicher Schatz- und Sammelkasten oder Appendix generalis (1660). - This edition has ten gaps in the text on ca. 10 pages, a curiosity, that, according to our research, other copies also feature (such as the copy in the HAB Wolfenbüttel and the Lower Saxon State and university library, however, the respective bibliographies do not mention this fact. This copy most likely was the translator's working copy , in which the gaps filled with text in handwriting. A note at the end of the second part in the same hand is proof thereof: "j ay fait traduire de l allemand la 3me la 4me et la 5me centurie, imprimées a amsterdam en 1668". - Slightly browned in places, cropped close in places of head margin, else well-preserved.
