Artephii, des uhralten Philosophi, geheimer Haupt-Schlüssel zu dem verborgenen Stein der Weisen
This is a 1717 German alchemical treatise, Artephii's secret master key to the hidden philosopher's stone, translated from Latin and English by Benjamin Roth-Scholtz and printed in Nuremberg by the Taubers heirs for alchemists and students of the Great Work. The title page carries a woodcut of an alchemist's laboratory with shelves of flasks and a bearded figure at work, and the second picture is a large decorated initial A with foliate scrollwork above a line of black-letter text, a pattern a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals.
