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
“The first matter of metals is twofold, and one without the other cannot create a metal. The first and principal substance is the moisture of air mingled with warmth. This substance the Sages have called Mercury, and in the philosophical sea it is governed by the rays of the Sun and the Moon.”
