Bibliotheca chemica curiosa is a 1702 two-volume anthology of alchemical treatises compiled by Jean-Jacques Manget and published in Geneva for scholars and collectors of the art. Its plates are engraved alchemical emblems, numbered clavis diagrams, and tabled laboratory scenes, showing furnaces, vessels, and allegorical figures in dense, ruled compositions a designer could draw on for occult or early-modern scientific motifs.
