De alchimia opuscula complura veterum philosophorum, quorum catalogum sequens pagella indicabit
A 1550 alchemy anthology gathering texts by ancient philosophers, printed for scholars and collectors of alchemical writing, with the title page showing a hand-coloured woodcut of a crowned figure between winged dragons above a serpent and a pelican, and a second woodcut of a crowned hand grasping a scroll-framed emblem with the printer's motto. The bold colour title-page image and the wood-engraved emblem offer a designer ready examples of Renaissance symbolic ornament and hand-coloured woodcut framing.
