16, 274, [14] pp.Enlarged second edition of the German translation of A lapidary, first published in English in 1652, compiled by Thomas Nicols, and in German in 1675: ''the first independent gemological book by a British author . based firmly upon Boetius de Boodt'' (Sinkankas). Nicols lists all the true gems, but also covers fossils, coral, pearls, amber, etc. For each he discusses the forms, appearance, properties (diligently but somewhat sceptically reporting magical, mystical and medical claims), origins, classification, uses, prices, engraving on gems, etc. Nicols makes an intelligent synthesis of the earlier literature, as well as original contributions primarily in practical aspects related to jewellery, such as enhancing stones with reflective foils or dyestuffs, hardening softer stones, and the related subjects of falsification and adulteration. In the present edition the first section has been expanded to 35 chapters (instead of 25) and the second has 89 unnumbered chapters, as in the first English edition.Title-page slightly damaged at the fore-edge margin, a few small spots, otherwise in very good condition.l Carter, Sea of Pearls, p. 92; Schuh II 3528; Sinkankas 4758; cf.

"Nicols follows De Boodt closely and quotes him frequently. He adopts his classification of gems and his views concerning the occult powers which certain of them possess, as derived from the divine Being, acting through good or evil spirits, the stones being intermediaries, and thus they are "Oft times the habitacles of daemones and intelligences which Johannes Langius in his epistle calleth syderum & orbium motores" The introduction to his chapter entitled Of the Emerauld or Smaragde is an interesting example of the quaint phraseology of the time : The Emerauld is a precious gemme or stone of so excellent a viridity, or spring-colour, as that if a man shall look upon the Emerauld by a pleasant green meadow, it will be more amiable than the meadow, and overcome the meadows glorie, by the glory of that spring of viriditie which it hath in itself: The largeness of the meadow it will overcome with the amplitude of its glory, wherewith farre above its greatnesse it doth feed the eie: and the virescencie of the meadow it will overcome with the brightnesse of its glory, which in it self seemeth to embrace the glorious viridity of many springs. This stone is known by its apparent coldness in the mouth, by its gravity being weighed; and in this, that being cast into a fire, it will not burn, nor send forth any flame, and that in the brightnesse of the Sunne, it will keep its excellent viridity and greenness." Frank Dawson Adams. Medieval Mineralogy. In: Mineralogical Record, 1995, vol. 26, no. 4, p.38).
