Ars chemica, quod sit licita recte exercentibus, probationes doctissimorum iurisconsultorum. Septem tractatus seu capitula Hermetis Trismegisti, aurei. Eiusdem Tabula Smaragdina, in ipsius sepulchro inventa, cum commento Hortulani Philosophi. Studium consilii coniugii de massa solis et lunae
A 1566 alchemical compendium attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, printed in Latin and drawn from the library of C.G. Jung, aimed at scholars of alchemy and hermetic philosophy. The first picture is a heraldic bookplate with a winged angel above a shield bearing a cross, star and grape clusters, framed by scrolling ornament in grey, ochre and black. The second is a black-and-white woodcut initial V filled with interlaced foliage, flowers and curls, set beside dense Latin roman type, useful for designers wanting decorative capitals and ornamental letterforms.
