1587 Michael MAIER. Symbola aureę mensę duodecim nationum. Hoc est Hermęa seu Mercurii Festa ab Heroibus duodenis selectis, artis chymicę usu, sapientia et authoritate paribus celebrata, ad Pyrgopolynicen seu Adversarium illum tot annis iactabundum, virgini Chemię Iniuriam argumentis tam vitiosis, quam conuitiis argutis inferentem, confundendum & exarmandum, Artifices vero optime de ea meritos suo honori & famę restituendum. Ubi et artis continuatio et veritas invicta 36 rationibus, et experientia librisque authorum plus quam trecentis demonstratur. Opus, ut Chemię, sic omnibus antiquitatis & rerum scitu dignissimarum percupidis, utilissimum, 12 libris explicatum et traditum, figuris cupro incisio passim adjectis.
