Nicolaes Petter - German Translation 1814 Buchkatalog

In 1814 a German translation was published of a Netherlands print of Petter's book. It was printed in Berlin by Louis Quien: "Das Ringerbuch von dem beruhmten Faustfechter und Ringer Nicolaus Petter". The book had only 32 pages containing only text and was meant for the students of the Berlinische Turnanstalt (Berlin Gymnastics Institute). The translation and additional text were from the hand of J. F. Lurman. The original copyright page and foreword are not included and neither are the 71 etchings by Romeyn de Hooghe.
