Zachariae Brendelii ... Chimia in artis formam redacta ubi praeter methodum addiscendi egcheirēseis chimicas facilimam, disquisitio curata de famosissima praeparatione, auri potabilis instituitur. / Post obitum autoris, consilio Werneri Rolfinck.
A 1671 alchemical treatise in Latin, published at Leiden by Arnold Doude, compiled by Zacharias Brendel the Younger and edited by Werner Rolfinck for physicians and pharmacists seeking chemical preparations. The frontispiece engraving crowds a shelf of glass alembics, retorts, flasks and a furnace above a heap of books and a skull, with a lettered title panel beneath. A designer could draw on its dense cross-hatched engraving, the arrangement of vessels rising in a column, and the strong centred title typography.
