Trois traitez de la philosophie naturelle non encore imprimez ... : scavoir le secret livre du ... philosophe Artephius traitant de l'art occulte et transmutation metallique ... ; plus les figures hierogliphiques
A 1612 Paris alchemical treatise printed by Guillaume Marette, collecting texts attributed to Artephius, Synesius and Nicolas Flamel for readers of occult and metallurgical philosophy. Its woodcut plates are small, framed hieroglyphic emblems with banners of Latin text, figures in pairs, and a dense black-line style a designer could borrow for medieval-revival frames, banners and symbolic icons.
