[7] The copyright date (and thus presumed original printing date) is given as 1971; the date of the second printing is not specified here
[8] NB: Many of the blanks in this volume are numbered as though they were real pages and headed ‘Additional Entries’ as though to invite the reader to fill them in with his / her own correspondences. In this copy they remain blank. They have not been counted as pages in my pagination scheme
[9] A paperback reprint of the above
[9a] Credited here as ‘Chef der schweiz. Meteorol. Centralstation in Zürich’
[9b] The series credit continues: ‘und herausgegeben unter gefälliger Mitwirkung der Herren E. Desor, Professor in Neuenburg, L. Hirzel, Professor in Bern, G. Kinkel, Professor in Zürich, Albr. Müller und L. Rütimeyer, Professoren in Basel’
[9c] ‘Mit einer Vorrede versehen und zum Druck Befördert durch Chas. F. Bimpel…’
[9d] This series identification appears only on a strip of paper printed over the top of the inner title page, and at the head of the table of contents at the back, where it’s also identified as belonging to the later publisher, Landbeck. It would therefore appear plausible that this was originally an isolated publication from 1852, which was then adopted as part of a series when it fell into the hands of its second publisher, and the original sheets were at that stage bound up with the modified table of contents. Incidentally, the series number 6 is found only on the added table of contents, and missing from the cardboard header on the title page
[9e] On the inner title page, which is otherwise identical to the front cover, the original printed publisher identification has been overlain with a piece of paper printed with these details: Neuer theosophischer Verlag (C. F. Landbeck & G.), Bietigheim, Württemberg
[10] Copyrighted 1986; but the reference on the title page to Vito’s death in October 1991 demonstrates this to be a much later printing
[11] “A cura di Daniele Bini”. The credit list continues: “testi di Ernesto Milano, Grazia Mirti, Leandro Ventura, Anna Rosa Venturi; schedi di Milena Luppi, Paola Di Pietro, Paola Ortolani”.
[12] A series of publications directed by Ernesto Milano, all published by Il Bulino edizione d’arte. Whether or not the other volumes are also connected with the Minostero per i Beni Culturali or the Biblioteca Estense Universitaria di Modena (see following footnote) is not clear. The advertising on the rear dj flap for the earlier volumes in the series does not mention either of them.
[13] A further credit at the top of the title page, of unclear relevance, reads: “Minostero per i Beni Culturali: Ufficio Centrale per i Beni Librari, gli Istituti Culturali e l’Editoria; Biblioteca Estense Universitaria di Modena”.
[14] A compendium of twelve articles by three authors, comprising one by Fritz Werle entitled “Die kosmische Weltanschauung des Paracelsus” (pp. 12-29); ten by J. Strebel, and one by B. de Telepnef
