Rare! - The second volume was published separately in 1583. - Leonhard Thurneysser (zum Thurn), also known as Thurneisser, (1531 in Basel - 1596 in Cologne) was a Swiss goldsmith, metallurgist, metallurgical engineer and scholar who served as personal physician at the court of Elector Johann Georg von Brandenburg. Thurneysser first learnt the goldsmith's trade and then worked under the professor of medicine Johannes Huber, who also introduced him to the art of herbalism and medicinal herbs. Although he was largely self-taught, he acquired extensive knowledge of healing, medicine, pharmacy and botany and was interested in mathematics, astronomy, metallurgy and mineralogy. - Well preserved.
