Fratris Basilii Valentini ... chymische Schriften alle so viel derer verhanden
A German alchemical compilation of Basilius Valentinus's chemical writings, printed in 1700 by Gottfried Liebezeit and held in the C.G. Jung library, aimed at readers of alchemy and Paracelsian medicine. Its pages are dense black-letter text in Fraktur, each broken by a centred woodcut ornament of symmetrical flower and foliage clusters, rosettes, and tulip-like blossoms set in dark ink on cream paper, offering a designer ready-made botanical roundels and ornamental dividers with strong vertical symmetry.
