Schriften der Fürstlich-Anhaltischen Deutschen Gesellschaft
According to p.35 of Hecht, Rust (the leading member of the Society) gathered together some existing manuscript material into a third volume of the Schriften but in the end failed to find a publisher for it. From the placement of this note in Hecht's small monograph, one assumes that this occurred at some point between 1778 and 1781.
