Scheibler’s Metaphysica was first issued in 1617, and reissued at Oxford in 1665, as well as often elsewhere. Bp. Barlow edited it, and added the Exercitationes de Deo (see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iv. 336), which were reissued in 1658. The edition of 1638 is simply a reissue of the sheets of the 1637 edition, with different imprint and date on the first titlepage, and “Meta-” on the first titlepage altered to “Meta-.” Some woodcut diagrams occur in the Exercitationes: in which also the sections change from eights to fours.

So in “Catalogi ... librorum Richardi Davis bibliopolæ pars secunda” (1686), p. 75 among octavos. Bagford (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 9501, fol 76v) also describes a copy: and it is probably not really rare, but has escaped the nets of the larger libraries.
