Chemica II, p.135; Partington II, p.364; Ferguson, Books of Secrets no.672 and vol. III, p.40f and VI, p.4f: "This is a bulky quarto, sumptuously printed, with handsome engravings of furnaces and apparatus, and it is undoubtedly the most complete of all the editions which I have seen. It contains not only the treatise of Neri, with the prefaces and notes of Merrett and of Kunckel (...), but also some treatises and extracts from other works bearing upon the manufacture of glass, enamel and porcelain, and, besides, the tracts on the controversy about the part gold takes in making ruby glass, written by Orschal, Balduin and Kunckel. It forms, therefore, a kind of cyclopaedia of the older writings on glass-making."
