Christian BERWARD. Interpres Phraseeologiae Metallurgicae. Oder Erklärung der fürnemosten Terminorum und Redeaten, welche bey den Bergleuten, Puchern, Schmeltzern, Probirern und Müntzmeistern, &c... gebräuchlich sind. Frankfurt: Johann David Zunner, 1673. FIRST EDITION. Not in the Hoover catalogue.

2 works in one volume, 2° (330 x 200mm). (Some browning.) Contemporary vellum (soiled).

The first work is principally a work on political ethics and reflects the author's position as director of mines and founderies in Brunswick. It devotes a large portion of the third book to mining, metallurgy and smelting. The first edition appeared in 1622 as Aulico-politica: oder Hof- staats- und regierungkunst, and is extremely rare (1 copy in the NUC). The second work is a dictionary of terms used in mining and related industries.
