Oswaldi Crollii ... Hassi Chymisch Kleynod : hiebevor zwar aussgangen, jetzo aber durch den hochgelehrten Johann Hartmannum ... gemehrt verbessert, mit nothwendigen Notis spagyricis zu Erläuterung der Artzneyen geziert und zum ersten Mal neben dem hermetischen Wunderbaum in Truck aussgangen ...
A 1647 German alchemical and chemical treatise by Oswald Croll, expanded by Johann Hartmann and published in Frankfurt by Godefridus Schönwetter, aimed at physicians and apothecaries seeking remedies explained through spagyric notes. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments, including a bearded mask flanked by scrolls, a cartouche with an ornate monogram, an oval coat of arms with a mitre and Latin legend, and a page of planetary-style alchemical symbols; a designer could draw on their dense, symmetrical scrollwork and emblematic symbols.
