Avicenna, Geber · 1572 · Perna · 23 pictures

A 1572 Basel printing by Perna gathering the alchemical treatises of Avicenna and Geber, issued for students and practitioners of chemistry and collected from older manuscripts with added figures. The woodcut apparatus pictures show alembics, furnaces, cucurbits and a shallow dish on a plain ground, with hatched shading and dense line work that a designer could take as a model for scientific diagram style in early modern print.
