In 1740 a number of Zedler's products appeared under the name of the Leipzig bookseller and publisher [[Johann Samuel Heinsius]].
This began with a relaunch of Zedler's Cabinet magazine, under a slightly altered title. It is not known how successful the new magazine was, or why Heinsius included it in his publishing program since from 1739 he already had a similar monthly magazine under the title of "''Genealogical and historical messages of the principal events of the European courts''".

In 1741 there followed the first volume of the ''General Treasure Chamber'', a four volume commercial lexicon translated by Ludovici from the ''Dictionnaire Universel de Commerce (General Commercial Dictionary)'' by [[Jacques Savary des Brûlons]].{{sfn|Quedenbaum|1977|p=265}}
The fourth volume was delivered as early as 1742, covering the letters "S" to "Z".
A year later, a supplementary volume was produced with additions and an index.
A final part of the work advertised under the title "Merchants now living in and outside Germany" did not appear.<ref>''Neue Zeitungen von gelehrten Sachen'', 1743, S. 536.</ref>

Zedler's next publishing project was the ''Corpus Juris Cambialis (Stock Exchange Laws)'' of [[Johann Gottlieb Siegel]].
Heinsius advertised the two-volume publication in the newspapers in April 1742, seeking Praenumeration subscribers. Both volumes were ready in time for the Leipzig Michaelmas Fair that year, as were the 33rd and 34th volumes of the ''Universal Lexicon''. The 12th volume of the ''General state, War, Church and Scholarly History'' under the auspices of Wolf also appeared at this, with content up to 1700.

After the ''Treasury Board'' and the ''Corpus Juris Cambialis'', Zedler again began a major publishing project.
The basis for Heinsius's ''Historical and Political-Geographic Atlas of the whole world'' was a translation of the ''Grand Dictionnaire Géographique Et Critique'' of [[Antoine-Augustin Bruzen de La Martinière]]. The German version ran to 13 volumes, published by Heinsius between 1744 and 1749.
