- In 1778, Johann Herrmann Pfingsten issued Sammlung von Nachrichten und Beobachtungen über die Erzeugung und Verfertigung des Salpeters, as a second part to Simon's work. Pfingsten's work was a translation of the Recueil de mémoires et d'observations sur la formation et sur la fabrication du salpêtre, of the Académie des sciences. (Duveen & Klickstein, 206)
- In 1781, Pfingsten issued König. Französische Instruktion zu besserem Betrieb des Salpeterwesens, as a third part of Simon's work. This was a German version of Lavoisier's Instruction sur l'établissement des nitrières et sur la fabrication du salpêtre. (Duveen & Klickstein, 209)
