First editions of the Latin translation of the first two volumes of Glaubers work on the natural wealth of Germany - wine, wood, agriculture - and how to improve their exploitation. Volume 2 covers mining. The German edition appeared in 6 volumes (1656-1661), also published by Janssonius. It is considered Glaubers last "scientific" work, before he concentrated on his inventions and universal medicines. Gugel 8; STCN (6 & 4 copies).
