There are several versions of the manuscript and depending on the library, the number, order and certain details of the figures differ. The Zurich manuscript is the oldest. We also recovered the additional figures present in the Leiden manuscripts ( Vossiani Chemici F. 29. Glasgow Ferguson 6 figures are available PSI
To the extent that the text accompanying the images is an anthology of biblical and alchemical texts which are not necessarily linked to the images, we will not reproduce it here, especially since the French translation is not a priori free from right.
Quote of the Day
“Without these two, viz., gold and silver, our art would have no existence since the sulphur they contain has been purified by nature with a thoroughness such as art would vainly strive to imitate. From these two bodies, with their prepared sulphur [or prepared arsenic] our Medicine may be elicited, but without them we can never obtain it.”
