Volckamer, Johann Christoph (cont.) 
According to Graesse, 6(2):388, there are 3 
distinct editions of the first volvune, of which 
the first has the best proofs of the plates b\rt 
no appendix, the second has the added ”Obelisc\is 
Constantinopolitanusand the third is distin¬ 
guished by having the name of the author in the 
title — whereas both earlier issues are merely 
"Hrsg. von J. C, V.” According to these differ¬ 
ences the Lib. Cong, copy must be of the third 
and the Dept. Agr. copy of the second issue. An¬ 
other distinction is that the third has imprint: 
"Nurnberg, Bei dem authore,” while the others 
both have the imprint of Endter.

The bracketed date 1713 is given for this 
by Pritzel and various catalogs, but the Mo. 
Bot. Gard. copy has a preface dated 1714, and 
the volume could not have been issued in 1713. 
The number cf plates has been taken from 
Pritzel. Cat. Bib. Banks. 3:637, says plates 
are same as those of the German edition. 
The translator, whose name does not appear 
in the title, was Erhard Reusch (1678-1740). 
His "Dissertatio epistolica de praeoipuis Hes- 
peridum scriptoribus,” given by some as an in¬ 
dependent work, is, according to Haller, 2:86, 
and Seguier, p.l58, part of the prefatorj^ mat¬ 
ter in this edition of Volkamer.
