^[3] All these subjects will be dealt with in rather more detail in the course of the following study. On the notion of a 'Second Reformation', see Heinz Schilling (ed.), Die Reformierte Konfessionalisierung in Deutschland - Das Problem der 'Zweiten Reformation' (Gütersloh, 1986), esp. Heinz Schilling, 'Die "Zweite Reformation" als Categorie der Geschichtswissenschaft', pp. 387-437.

^[5] The only other figures to compare with Moriaen in terms of quantity of material preserved are the Parliamentarian Cheney Culpeper, the agriculturalist and mystic John Beale, and the pansophic educationalist Cyprian Kinner.

Since the first appearance of this book, Keil has produced a fuller treatment of Wiesel, Augustanus Opticus: Johann Wiesel (1583-1662) und 200 Jahre optisches Handwerk in Augsburg (Berlin, 2000), and edited a rich collection of documentary evidence about her subject, Von Ocularien, Perspicillen und Mikroskopen, von Hungersnöten und Friedensfreuden, Optikern, Kaufleuten und Fürsten: Materialien zur Geschichte der optischen Werkstatt von Johann Wiesel (1583-1662) und seiner Nachfolger in Augsburg (Augsburg, 2003), in both of which Moriaen figures prominently.

^[12] One short copy extract appears in James Knowlson's 'Jean Le Maire, the Almérie, and the "musique almérique"', Acta Musicologica 40 (1968), 86-9, but the article is not concerned with Moriaen himself.
