[meteorite-list] The Tabor 1753 fall

[Martin Altmann]

Hi Chris,

the fall of Tabor was firstly documented in 1754 by the Bavarian-Bohemian
astronomer Joseph Stepling (1716 - 1778)in his publication:

De pluvia lapidea anni MDCCLIII ad Strkov pagum uno milliari Taborio
Bohemiae urbe dissitum, et ejus causis meditatio, Pragae 1754


"On the stone rain of the year 1753 at the village Strkov, situated one mile
away from the Bohemian town Tabor,
and thoughts about its causes."

Maybe Edwin Thompson has this monography in his huge library?

Unable to find out too much about the Tabor 1753 meteorite fall. Was  
much actually written?
