Alchemists Enchiridion of Basilius Valentinus, Printed 1692

Basil Valentine was a monk and a practicing Alchemist who refers to Lully, another Alchemist of that time in the 17th Century when man thought it possible to make gold from lead and healing argentums and powders that restored old bodies to new life after having caused teeth, hair and fingernails to first fall out, a small price to pay for the overall improvements. It was reported and documented from several quarters of the world, that certain Alchemists did indeed, do what is alleged. Therefore, I present to you, the Alchemal formulae I have, of Basil Valentine, which Index below, summarizes. The complete work is 1 1/4 inches thick. All original "f"s, such as "His laft Teftement", are changed to "s". All spelling errors are left as is. All unknown words are left as is. All capitalized words are left as is. All illegible words are guessed at and placed in parentheses ().
