| Tóm tắt: | This work, by the Amsterdam printer Jacob van Meurs, represents a unauthorized copy of an original 1667 printing by the printers Janssonius van Waesberge and Weyerstraten, who were Kircher's regular Amsterdam publishers. It includes the same text but contains artfully copied engravings in a somewhat smaller format. When Janssonius van Waesberge and Weyerstraten (who died shortly thereafter) were apprised of this unauthorized copy they called for a meeting with Van Meurs, to be mediated by a third Amsterdam printer and attended by a notary public. At this meeting, on 27 June 1667, the aggrieved parties demanded that Van Meurs hand over the entirety of his copy of the work: all his printed copies along with his copper and woodblock plates. Van Meurs was also to cease and desist from publishing this work again. In return Van Meurs received 3,450 florins, which basically covered the costs of his "reprint." Subsequent printings at the shop of Janssonius van Waesberge and Weyerstraten (and later with Weyerstraten's widow) used the slightly smaller engravings that Van Meurs had commissioned, though the text remained precisely the same. |
