Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for this early reference.
I found a scan of the 1698 edition at
https://catalogue.bm-lyon.fr/ark:/75584/pf0000764778
and a scan of the 1706 edition at
https://www.e-rara.ch/zut/content/titleinfo/671873
I found the data I need on p. 103 (1698 edition) and p. 112 (1706 edition).
