Notwithstanding the many works ascribed to this famous German alchemist, doubts are expressed as to his existence. The first edition of the col- lection by Petraeus was published at Hamburg in 1717. The earliest Latin collected works bear date 1700, also at Hamburg. For numerous German editions consult Schmieder's Geschichte der Alchemic.
