About the Collection
A work by (the tongue-twisting) Johann Anton Moscherosch von Wißelsheim typifies the strengths
of the history of science collections in the Department of Special Collections. The book, entitled
Wohlmeinende, treue, und sehr nützliche Ermahnungen an die Anfänger in dem tiefsinningen Studio der
Hermetischen Philosophie
(Nuremberg: George Bauer, 1765), speaks to issues of early modern science, philosophy, and the
occult, and fits with other holdings of Special Collections, notably the Duveen Collection of Alchemy
and Chemistry and important holdings (especially pre-1801) for philosophy and theology. This electronic
facsimile provides broader access to a fragile and rare work by providing an overview of the structure
of the text.
Technical Note
Please note that full-text searching for the electronic-facsimile texts in our collections is based on uncorrected OCR (Optical Character Recognition) results. While such text is often highly accurate, it will contain errors that may affect your search results. In particular, texts with the following characteristics are particularly prone to error (in some cases, accuracy for such texts is so low that we have decided not to attempt to provide full-text searching):
- Hand-written texts;
- Texts that contain diacritics;
- Texts that contain non-Latin scripts;
- Texts that contain obsolete characters (including the "long S" [looks like an "f"]);
- Texts that are printed in a font in which the letters are difficult for the software to differentiate.
