Hi Scott,
Thanx for the reply - as luck would have it I came across Mikey's site yesterday and have his order form in front of me...
Have you ever seen a copy of the earlier manuscript:
Das Triumphirende Perpetuum Mobile Orffyreanum (The Triumpant Orffryrean Perpetual Motion)
: - Kassel, 1719 ??
Or the other one mentioned on your site:
Acta Eridutorum, c 1715?
Thanks & regards, Andrew
Hi Andrew,
: I am working on getting more information about Bessler's writings on my website. All of the manuscripts are located at the Public Library in Kassel Germany. I have purchased microfilm copies of Maschinen Tractate (MT) from the library and it is amazing. Copyright issues prevent me from posting it on this website, though.
: However, a friend of mine, Mikey Ned, also runs a Bessler website, and has arranged to publish MT on CD-ROM. Please check out his offer at http://www.cybrtown.com/~mike/frames/ and click on "Special Offer."
: Best regards,
: Scott
