""Muncke also collaborated with Brandes, Gmelin, Horner, Pfaff, and Littrow in preparing the edition of Johann Gehler’s Physikalisches Wörterbuch pub- lished in Leipzig in eleven volumes (1825-1845). This work constitutes one of the best records of the state of the natural sciences in the first quarter of the nineteenth century"" Muncke’s contribution consists of descriptions of individual physical subjects and an excellent, objective general discussion of current physical theories and knowledge.""(DSB).Poggendorff II, 238.
