(c) What did the *translator into English* (why the emphasis?) say
about it?

The translator noted that Athanasius Kircher had access to the Arabic
original.

However, looking at the particular English translation in question, by
Joseph Hammer (von Pugstall), (it's on Google Books)

? I searched wahshiyah (whole book) and got a page and a half of
references to the 1806 edition but not the 1806 edition.

Never mind: the ways of google book search are unfathomable. I
searched the translator's name and got two copies, one from the
Ashmolean and one from Monier Williams's library.
