A 1541 alchemy compendium printed in Nuremberg by Johannes Petreius, gathering Latin treatises attributed to Jabir ibn Hayyan, Roger Bacon, Ricardus Anglicus and Khalid ibn Yazid for scholars and practitioners of the metallurgical art. Its woodcuts show furnaces, stills and laboratory vessels with a standing workman beside a brick kiln, and the plain block-letter headpieces and dense columns of black text suggest a clear model for early modern scientific diagrams and ornamented initials.
