Reilly 13 u. 14. Poggendorff I, 1259. Dünnhaupt XII, 1 u. XII, 2. Adelung III, 78. Seltene erste Ausgabe beider Teile. - "The first edition is especially rare. The Libri Rary only contained the first volume. The second was also unkown to Lalande and Weidler... This work, which is important for the history of astronomy is perhaps the most curious of Kircher's publications. The discussion whether the water which the author asserts to be in the planet of Venus may be used for baptism... and some other extraordinary things of a similar nature, have rendered the possession of the book interesting for collectors... The author rejects the Copernican system, but adopts that of Tycho Brahe. The work is also one of the first to treat the plurality of the worlds..."
