Catalogue Note
FIRST EDITION. The five sections of this work "treated of the harmony between the celestial sun and terrestrial gold, and the definition and conflict of opinion concerning the latter; of medicines and recipes, ancient and modern, in which gold was an ingredient; of the preparation of potable gold, both vulgar and philosophic; of their medicinal use; and the idea of the philosophers' stone" (Thorndike, A History of Magic and Experimental Science, 1958, VII, p.178).
