Bracesco, Giovanni · 1548 · Lugduni : excudebant Godefridus, & Marcellus Beringi frates · 3 pictures

De alchemia dialogi duo is a Latin treatise on alchemy by Giovanni Bracesco, printed at Lyon in 1548 by the brothers Godefridus and Marcellus Beringi for scholars of the period. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a shield-like emblem with clasped hands and the motto BONA FIDE, a decorated initial D with a bird among foliage, and a palm-like tree on a grassy mound, all in the sober style of 16th-century printing that a designer could borrow for emblematic or botanical motifs.
