1759.2 Giovanni Battista NAZARI.
Della tramutatione metallica sogni tre, di Gio. Battista Nazari Bresciano; Nel primo de quali si tratta della falsa tramutatione sofistica: Nel secondo della utile tramutatione detta reale usuale: Nel terzo della divina tramutatione detta reala Filosofica. Aggiontovi di nuovo la concordanza di filosofi, e loro prattica: Nellaquale, si vede i gradi, & termini di esso divino magistero, & della verissima Compositione della Filosofia Naturale, con laquale ogni cosa diminuta si riduce al vero Solificio, & Lunificio. Con un copioso Indice per ciascum sogno de gli Auttori, & dell' Opere c'hanno sopra di cio trattato.
4° Brescia: appresso Pietro Maria Marchetti, con licenza de' Superiori 1599
