first portion of this edition and of the preceding one, " Der Natur 

 ...der Fisschen" was probably contributed by him.]

 im gantzen Jahr ein jeder Fisch am besten sei. Erfurt. 1610.

[ Without pagination. A to DV in eights. This is another edition, 

 the " wie man fisch " being restored to the first place in the book, 

 while "von der Natur" follows. The list of "Nacknamen" this 

 time has an addition : " Item ein Krass ein Todtengraber." The 

 woodcut on title represents a man in the water catching fish with 

 his hand, also an angler and a fowler.] 



Das edle Fischbuchlein, das ist : ein sehr nutzlicher 



Bericht, von der Fischerey iiberaus grosser Nutzbarkeit ; von 

 der Fische Natur und Eigenschafft ; etc. Niirnberg, [1700?] 

 8. pp. 190. 



[ Six woodcuts. The " Account of the exceeding great useful- 

 ness of the fishery " expands this edition to twice its former size. 

 The other portion remains without material alteration. Most of 

 the above tracts are very rare and the collector is fortunate who can 

 secure one or two of them. A reprint of the last will be found in 

 the following entry.] 



Das edle Fischbuchlein, das ist, ein sehr nutzlicher 



Bericht von der Fischerey iiberaus grosen Nutzbarkeit, der 



Fische Eigenschafften wie sie am bequeinsten zu fangen und 



zu welcher Zeit sie am besten sind. Coin. 8. [12 woodcuts.] 



[We have this edition and also the third, fourth, and fifth, by 



title only. 



Among the " recettes infallibles," to be found in these volumes 

 and also in the Flemish "Boecxken," is the following "wonderfull 

 bayte for Trowtes and Thymallos," here given in the words of John 

 Stocker (" Praxis aurea." p. 92.) Possibly it is one of those which 

 the Belgian bibliophile thinks may prove useful at the present day. 

 " Draw a black hen, put into the belly of it 3 yolks of Eggs, and as 

 much saffron as a pease, then sowe up the hole and bury the Hen 

 in a dunghill of Hors dung for 3 or 4 days, till it putrifie or rott, 

 and there will appeare little yellow worms in it... It is a wonderful 

 experiment."] 



Bulger (George E.) Leaves from the records of St. Hubert's
