Jacob Le Duchat 1658-1735 was a French literary scholar whose 1711 edition of the works of Rabelais was the first to include historical and critical commentary. "Le Duchat’s is the first of the critical editions. It takes account of differences in the texts and begins to point out the variations. His very numerous notes are remarkable and are still worthy of most serious consideration. He was the first to offer useful elucidations and these have been repeated after him and with good reason will continue to be so. Le Duchat’s commentary was translated into English by John Ozell for his 1737 edition of Gargantua and Pantagruel."

Complete sets of Leupold's Theatrum are virtually never found and Ferguson stated in his bibliography of technology that he had never seen a complete set. Each volume is complete in itself. The eighth volume is of particular interest in the history of computers as it deals mainly with calculating machines. This volume contains detailed descriptions of the calculating machines of Schott 1668 Grillet 1673 Leibniz 1674 Poleni 1709 and Leupold himself. The tenth volume is a supplement to the series published after Leupold's death by Ernst Scheffler. It deals with odometers gyrometers step counters and other devices for the measurement of distances.

Leupold started his work on the Theatrum Machinarum in 1720 which was the first systematic analysis of mechanical engineering. This volume deals with bridge construction and was the first book on bridge building published in Germany. The first major treatise on bridge building was by French engineer Hubert Gautier Traité des Ponts 1716 which was the standard book for bridge building for 70 years Britannica. Leupold builds on this work with a more comprehensive treatment including increased explanation of long-span timber bridges. Christoph Zunkel, for the author hardcover

Sehr selten erste und einzige Ausgabe! "Scherb setzte sich vehement für die Impfung ein und gab eine umfangreiche Schrift heraus "Über die Einpfropfung der Pocken" Zürich und Winterthur 1779. Er beschreibt auch ausführlich die Herkunft des Impfverfahrens: "In Absicht auf die Art der Ansteckung sollen die Chinesen den schlafenden Kindern in Blatterneiter getränkte Meißalgen in die Nasenlöcher gesteckt htben. Bei den Türken pflegte man in einige Nadelstiche ganz frischen Eiter einzureiben. In Indostan wurde ein seidener Pfropffader vermittels einer Nadel zwischen Haut und Fleisch an dem Arm oder Fuß durchgezogen und einige Zeit lang dort gelassen . Die nach der neuern Methode einpfropfenden Ärzte pflegen nun allen Verband wegzulassen ganz frischen Pockeneiter wenn sie ihn haben können oder das Pulver von trockenem Pockenschorf in ein kleines Schnittchen einzureiben und wenn sie dasselbe etwas zugedrückt haben alles unbedeckt zu lassen . Ich habe bisher den Pfropffäden noch den Vorzug gegeben weil ich nicht die geringste Ungelegenheit bei denselben erfahren habe." Das Verfahren war etwa dreißig Jahre zuvor in Europa bekannt geworden und hatte großes Aufsehen erregt war aber bald in Vergessenheit geraten. Scherb impfte etwa tausend Kincer und ermutigte auch andere Ärzte dazu. Das an und für sich einfache Impfverfahren wurde dadurch etwas komplizierter wohl auch abschreckende weil man glaubte durch mehrfache Purgation und eine auf die Konstitution des Kindes abgestimmte Diät die Wirkung der Einpfropfung unterstützen zu müssen."

März 1811 erfolgten Tode. Er beschäftigte sich viel mit der Pockenimpfung und veröffentlichte: "Ueber die Einpfropfung der Pocken" Zürich 1779 - "Kurze Anleitung zur Erhaltung und Wiederherstellung der Gesundheit" lb. 1784.
