Pretiosa margarita novella de thesauro, ac pretiosissimo philosophorum lapide : artis huius divinae typus, et methodus: collectanea ex Arnaldo, Rhaymundo, Rhasi, Alberto, et Michaele Scoto
A 1546 alchemical treatise compiled by Janus Lacinius from earlier writers such as Arnaldus, Raymundus and Michael Scotus, printed by Manutius and held in C.G. Jung's library. Its woodcut pictures show stone-like sarcophagi with figures lifting lids, a figure with a sword striking a seated man, and a rod-and-crescent emblem pattern, which a designer could use for esoteric, occult or Renaissance-style graphic motifs.
