Roger Bachon de l'admirable pouvoir et puissance de l'art & de nature, ou est traicté de la pièrre philosophale
A 1629 French alchemy treatise by Roger Bacon, translated by Jacques Girard and printed by Charles Hulpeau, whose surviving pictures include a printer's ornament and a bookplate from the library of C.G. Jung. The first picture is a black and gold heraldic bookplate with a winged angel above a shield bearing a star and cross, lettered with a Latin motto; the second is a woodcut of a grotesque mask with snakes and swags, a strong model for ornamental frames, emblem borders and symmetrical heraldic layouts.
