Westwood and Satchell remark of this work 

 that it "is a sort of encyclopsedic phrase-book, 

 each of the 100 chapters containing the words 

 used in a separate art, science or trade, and ex- 

 plaining them by means of the context." It 

 contains a description of the art of fishing.

"In 1657 H. Conringius collected the treatises 

 of several old writers on fish-ponds and fish and 

 fishing, and printed them at Helmstadt in a 

 quarto volume without collective title-page but 

 with continuous register. By the collector, who 

 reads as well as gathers, this book will be highly 

 prized. It contains the treatise of Dubravius 

 *de piscinis'; portions of Varro's third book; 

 chapters liv-lvi of Pliny's ninth book; book 

 twenty of the 'Geoponika' of Cassianus Bassus; 

 excerpts from Crescentius and Heresbachius 

 concerning fish-ponds, and the book on fishing 

 from the latter's 'Thereiitices.' " — Westwood &
