Alchymiae
Alchymiae is a 1606 alchemical treatise by Andreas Libavius, published in Frankfurt by J. Saurius and held by a Paris university health-sciences library, aimed at scholars and practitioners of chemistry. Its woodcuts show furnaces, distillation vessels and stoneware apparatus drawn in crisp black outline with cross-hatched shading, offering a designer clear models for technical, laboratory-style diagrams and engraved scientific plates.
