| Personal name heading | Fictuld, Hermann, -1777 |
| Biography/History note | The use of the pen Hermann Fictuld is disputed. Fictuld's real name is thought to be either Johann Heinrich Schmidt von Sonenberg or Johann Ferdinand von Meinstoff. Both were known alchemists working at the same time Fictuld published. The name is believed to be a cipher which could be used to decode the real name of the author. No confirmation of either name can be given so the pen name is unverified. |
