EWALDT, Benjamin (1674-1719). Diatriba de Pulvere Sympathetico. Typis Georgianis Regiomonti, 1702. Rewrapped in marbled modern paper. Fascinating dissertation on “sympathetic dust,” also known as the powder of sympathy, which was used to heal wounds by applying it to the weapons which had caused them. 8vo. Two pages have lower corners torn away, repaired with Japanese paper, with loss of text.
