Editions of the Mutus LiberIt is usually thought that there were two editions of the key alchemical work the Mutus liber.The first edition (with the engravings) was issued in 1677 at La Rochelle in France. A second edition (with recut engravings) was included in Manget's Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa, Geneva, 1702. It now appears that there was a third edition, issued later in the 18th century, with recut engravings. I show a small detail from plate 7 from each edition. La Rochelle, 1677. 
Manget, Geneva, 1702. 
3rd edition - date unknown but probably mid 18th century.
