Woodcuts from Libavius 1606.
Commentariorum alchymiae... Pars prima, sex libris declarata: Continens explicationem operationum chymicarum priore artis libro comprehensarum, adiectis fornacum et aliorum vasorum figuris, partim ex impressis antehac autoribus, partim aliunde acceptis, & ex latibulis officinarum productis. Praemissa est Defensio Alchemiae et refutatio obiectionum ex censura scholae Parisiensis, quae licet videri nolit hanc Alchemiam, sed Quercetani damnasse, nimis tamen frigide de arte sentit, eaque proponit, quae in ludibrium & ignominiam artis simpliciter possunt converti, nec sonant aliter. Kopffius, Frankfurt, 1606.
