At Dr. Justin Croft: http://www.justincroft.com/stock_item/368/alchemy-an-alchemical-manuscript-book-in-latin-german-and-italian "A very extensive seventeenth-century alchemy manuscript containing upwards of 170 recipes, the majority purely alchemical but including a good number more properly described as medicinal, together with extracts from several important alchemical treatises. The manuscript includes 6 pages of finely-executed diagrams of alchemical furnaces and stills. The recipes are practical in tone and include both ingredients and methods. At least a quarter are concerned with the central alchemical processes of transmutation and many involve metals: mainly gold, silver, mercury and the related element of antimony." |
