Imprint: Wien: [Haslinger], [not before 1831]
Edition and history: Later impression, with former imprint on the title page, of the first re-issue(l'Imprimerie chimique, not before 1807), originally published by Hoffmeister in 1805
Comments: Publication date from the paper maker; Jakob Ruf started paper manufacturing business from 1831.
Judging from the title page and other characteristics, this copy appears to be a re-issue of the Hofmeister edition of 1805, that was published by l'imprimerie chimique after 1806. However, "J Ruf" shown in the watermark seems to indicate that it would be the later impression by Haslinger who succeeded l'imprimerie chimique
