Fr. Basilii Valentini ... Chymische Schriften, aus einigen alten MSten aufs Fleissigste verbessert, mit vielen Tractaten, auch etlichen Figuren vermehret, und nebst einem vollständigen Register in drey Theile verfasset ...
A German alchemical collection by Basilius Valentinus, published in 1740 by Gottfried Richter, assembled from older manuscripts and aimed at readers of chemical and alchemical texts. Its framed copperplate engravings show allegorical figures with attendants in open landscapes, while the decorative headpieces are crisp woodcut-style scrolls of flowers and foliage, useful for designers seeking early modern ornament and symmetrical border motifs.
