1764/1766 - 1768/1771 (B.1 - B.2)   A	Schriften der Fürstlich-Anhaltischen Deutschen Gesellschaft According to p.35 of Hecht, Rust (the leading member of the Society) gathered together some existing manuscript material into a third volume of the Schriften but in the end failed to find a publisher for it. From the placement of this note in Hecht's small monograph, one assumes that this occurred at some point between 1778 and 1781. Indexed Reuss [GVB German Union cat.; Univ.
