German Silver & Gold Detail? - 1678

Post by dognose »

I wondered if our German members may be interested in these few pages taken from two books published in 1678. I really have no idea about the content, but they appear to be some kind of calculator. I have only posted the pages that may possibly have some useful information and skipped the calculator pages, with the exception of a couple of examples.

and the last two pages:

Johann Hainzelmann, Johann Ulrich Stapf - 1678

Hopefully someone can explain the content?

Trev.
