Wolfgang Hildebrand - Kunst- und Wunder-Buchs - 1690-1704

Hildebrand Wolfgang: New, enlarged, excellent, and select Curiosities and Wonder Book. Therein are contained marvelous secrets and tricks, such as one can, indeed, with the whole human body, tame and wild animals, birds, fishes, innumerable creatures, and various plants and cultivation, and also otherwise almost unheard-of marvelous things; several wonder-writing works artificially prepared for laudable and pleasant amusement and to pass the time usefully; together with accounts of many wondrous things found in the world now and then, with the attached description of Paradise, Garden of Pleasure, and the Book of Planets. There is a complete description of Physiognomies, Palmistry, and the Art of Distillation, as well as a useful report on Chemistry, Coin/Mint, Mining and Fireworks, and also on brewing beer and vineyards… Likewise, what should be thought of changelings and raging husbands. All lovers of such hidden arts, with great diligence and effort gathered into separate books, with copper plates and many secret little pieces of art, so far not found in any book, enlarged and published.
