I was trying to find some text of the Chrysopoeia of Cleopatra, which is contained in the Codex Marcianus Graecus 299 in the Biblioteca Marciana, Venice. I seem to remember there is a French translation in Bethollet but cannot now find it. Does anyone know where I can find the text in a modern European language ? I seem to remember it is a short piece. |

Berthelot has it in volume I, page 132, fig. 11 in the 1887 Steinheil edition. |

Yes this is the famous diagram. Unfortunately, my memory must be mistaken as I had thought there was an actual text to go with this figure. I just checked Jack Lindsay's book and he clearly states "the single page called her Goldmaking". |

Sorry, I didn't check the Berthelot. I think it's just this one page??? It's Codex Marcianus graecus 299. Attached Image (viewed 3163 times): |

Yes it appears to be just the single page with the diagrams. I must have been confusing it with the Dialogue of Cleopatra. |
