Note 326 — JUGGLERS, ROPE-DANCERS, AUTOMATA, ETC.

William Johnston translation

Several instances of the like kind may be found also in Monstrorum Historia Memorabilis a J. G. Schenkio a Grafenberg filio, Francof. 1609, 4to, p. 28 et seq. One of the most curious is that of Thomas Schweicker, born at Halle in Prussian Saxony, in the year 1586. Camerarius saw him not only write, but even make a pen with his feet.—Trans.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
