Catalogue Note
A collection of tracts by Sturm on and inspired by Nicolaus Goldmann. Sturm published many such works in his lifetime, and Jeremias Wolff attempted to gather them together posthumously under the title given above, although the final make-up of the collection is variable: "no two copies have been found to be exactly the same" (BAL RIBA, noting that some sets have 22 parts, rather than the 21 in this set).
