Editions Note:
Installments of this German-language almanac survive from each year between 1776 and 1789, including two 1778 installments. The same set of astronomical calculations appear in several almanacs published in Pennsylvania in this period. Many bibliographers attribute them all to Rittenhouse based on the explicit attribution to him of those calculations appearing in the 1778-1781 imprints of Der Gantz. But others dispute this, especially for those printed after 1782.
Holding Note:
APS has one incomplete copy of the 1781 installment.
