My “new” original copy of “Noth= und Hülfsbüchlein für Bauersleute“, with which I am extremely pleased, also has a delightful dedication inside. Undated unfortunately but obviously old, note not just the handwriting but also the spelling of words such as “Theilen” and “zugestellet”. I presume the second part mentioned is “Arzneybüchlein für Menschen und Vieh“, which I’ve yet to find a decent copy of.
I wonder who Georg Scheidemann was, there’s a bookplate of his on the inside cover too.


Georg Scheidemann
Dieses Noth und Hülfsbüchlein
welches aus 2 Theilen besteht,
ist gar schön zu lesen, und
es stehen viel nützliches
Sachen darin, ich habe es
dem bzl. Vorsteher
Speckl mit dem Bitte zu =
gestellet, es einen jeden
in Orte zu leihen, welcher
es zu lesen wünscht, und
Zeit, und Lust dazu hat;
Die Bücher müßten nun
nicht beschmutzt, und zer=
rißen werden.
This Essentials and Aid Booklet, which consists of two parts, is delightful to read and contains many useful things. I’ve provided it to the relevant Superintendent (Mayor?) Speckl with the request to lend it to each of those in the town, who wish to read it, and have the time and inclination to do so. The books must not be dirtied or torn.
