Notes: In 1661 Kircher sent a wooden cabinet with instructional materials for mathematics to Gottfried Aloys Kinner in Vienna, for the purpose of instructing Archduke Carl Joseph of Habsburg (cf. port, p.  5).  Ascription of this work to Kircher is to be found in the rondel of the cabinet,  illustration p. 3.  Subsequent bibliographic search indicates the illustrative material in this vol. are the illustrations found in Gaspar Schott, Organum mathematicum (published: Würzburg,  Johann Andreas and Wolfgang Endter, 1668) as an instructual manual for the cabinet.
