Codicillus seu vade mecum Raymundi Lulli ... in quo fontes alchimicae artis ac philosophiae reconditioris uberrime traduntur

Lullus, Raimundus · 1651 · sumptibus Ioannis Berthelin · 1 picture

A 1651 alchemical treatise attributed to Raymundus Lullus, published at the expense of Ioannis Berthelin, offering a guide to the sources of the alchemical art for students of the hidden philosophy. The single picture is a woodcut emblem: an oval cartouche with a laurel and foliage border, inscribed with lettering around its edge, enclosing a figure tending a furnace beside a brick wall and a vessel. A designer could take its tight oval frame, dense woodcut hatching, and symbolic cartouche structure as a model for heraldic-style badges.
