Böckler, Georg Andreas

Architectura curiosa nova, das ist: Neue ergötzliche
sinn- und kunstreiche, auch nützliche bau- und wasser-
kunst. Nürnberg, P. Fürst [1664] 4 pts. in 1 vol. 
200 pl. (Mass. Hort. Soc. Cat. p.354, Bib. Nat. Paris)

-----  descripta per G. A. Böcklern et in latinam
linguam translata a Joanne Christophoro Sturmio. Norimbergae, 
P. Fürst [1664] 4 pts. in 1 vol. 200 pl.
(Brit. Mus.; N. Y. Pub. Lib.; Bib. Nat. Paris)

Cat. Bib. Nat. 14:720 has entry under each
of these titles, but without dates. Both have
been reissued. Brit. Mus. has a copy under
German title and bracketed date [1673] and
another with Latin title and bracketed date
[1701]. None of the bibliographers describe
the work as bilingual. Brunet, Man. Libraire
1:299, lists Böckler's "Architecture ... traduite 
en latin par Chr. Sturm. Norimb. 1664".
Allg. Deut. Biog. says the book was originally 
published by P. Fürst of Nürnberg in 1664,
with a 2d ed., 1704, but does not mention a
translation. The 4th part of the work contains 
garden designs and decorations.

Nützliche hauss- und feld-schule, das ist: Wie man
ein land- feld- guth- und meyerey mit aller zugehöre.
Frankfurt, 1666. 2 v. (Haller, 1:533)

Haller gives author as "Boekler" and incomplete 
title. The date may be incorrect,
altho according to Güntz, 1:135, Fraas, Geschichte 
der Landbau, says this was originally 
published in 1666.  Allg. Deut. Biog. 2:
788, however, calls 1678 the 1st ed., and
its title intimates that the work had never
before been published. Güntz, l.c., gives
contents of the 1699 edition, book xxvi being: 
"Von den garten".
