Lebenwaldt, or Lebwald von Lebenwald, who flourished in the middle of the seventeenth century, was born at Sailenspach, in Upper Austria, in the government of the Count of Spruitzstein, 25 Nov., 1624, studied medicine, was M.D. of Padua, and had practised the art for seven and twenty years, as he tells us in the dedication of the above book. He was created Count Palatine, was a councillor in Styria, Imperial poet laureate. Apostolic Notari- us and provincial physician to the Duke of Styria. He was received into the Leopoldine Academy Mercklin, Lindenius renovatus, 1686, p. 8. Cornelius k Beughem, Syllabus recens explora- toruTu in re medica physica chysnica, Amstel., 1696, p. 70. under the name of Aesculapius II., 7 Feb.. 1683. He died 10 (20) June, 1696. He wrote : Damographia, Oder Gemsenbeschrei- bung in 2 Theilen, Salzburg, 1680, 4°; Das Land- Stadt- und Haus- Arzney-Buch, Niimberg, 1695, folio, and numerous communications to the Leo- poldine Academy, for wliich see the list given by Cornelius a Beughem. In the British Museum catalogue he is called Adam Lebwald von Lebenwald. Kopp calls him Adam A. Lebenswaldt, and says there are eight tracts altogether, of which the fourth deals with the deceits of alchemy. Leben- waldt scolds vigorously' and reveals the tricks of apparent transmutations. He has some remai'ks also on the Rosicrucians. The opinions expressed in these tracts were attacked by Johann Tillemann or Tileman, in three ‘ Defensiones contra Adamum a Lebenwald,’ printed without place or date, probably at Inns- pruck about 1680, in small 12°, i. sig. A in twelves [last leaf blank] ; ii. sigs. A, B in twelves, C in four [2 blank]; iii. sig. A in twelve. Tileman anagrammatises his name into ' Du Nebel laut. ’ Manget, Bibliotheca ScTdptorum MedicoTnzm, 1731, II. i. p. 48. (Memoir from the Miscellanea Nat. Cur. Decur., iij. Ann. v. & vi.)
