SCHEUCHZER, Johann Jacob. - Nova Literaria Helvetica (pro anno 1701).

1702 With title-vignette. 169 pp. Small 8vo. Boards. Zurich, David Gessner, 1702. First edition of the first issue of Scheuchzer's (1672-1733) annotated Swiss bibliography which was continued up to 1715. This is a precursor of his "Bibliotheca Helvetica" (1733). This catalogue of Swiss publications of 1701 with commentary and biographical details, is arranged according to cantons where they were printed, starting off with Zurich and ending with Geneva. Basel of course was an important publishing place, and authors such as Zwinger have numerous entries. Interesting the announcement of Bernoulli's "Disqisitio Cataptro-Dioptrica", where he even includes mathematical formulas. - Steiger 14f.; Haller II, 277; Feller/Bonjour 436.
