Tripus aureus, hoc est, tres tractatus chymici selectissimi ... : 1. Practica cum duodecim clavibus et appendice. De magno lapide antiquorum sapientum
Tripus aureus is a 1677 alchemical treatise compiled from three Latin chymical tracts, attributed to Michael Maier, Basilius Valentinus, Thomas Norton and John Cremer, and printed by Hermann a Sande. The copperplate pictures are emblematic scenes of alchemical operations, planetary and metallic symbols, and fantastic beasts, with a designer able to draw on their dense hatching, allegorical staging and symbolic vocabulary.
