Saarbrücken 2014, clothbound, 100 clour plates, 80 pages of text, large format (31 × 22 cm). Approximately It was published 300 years after father and son Lincke had compiled this work.The plates were drawn under the supervision ofJohan Heinrich Linck(father), thetexts that appear alongwith the plates have been authored by the son. They have been translated from the original Latin into German by Moritz Böhme (Berlin).
Despite the fact that the German journal DER SEKRETÄR promotes the book as Facsimile, it must be stressedthat this edition is not areprint but the editio princeps (first edition) of a manuscript that was sleeping like the Briar Rose in the Leipzig library until Aaron Bauer and Richard Wahlgren discovered this jewel.
The editing work and the commentary sectionwas done by Wolf-Eberhard Engelmann and Fritz Jürgen Obst.
The plates are beautiful and one would notbe agle to guesstheir age.
