Joannis Danielis Mylii, medicinæ candidati Operis medico-chymici pars altera. Qua continentur tres libri posteriores basilicæ chymicæ, ut & basilica philosophica, perfecta, in libros tres distributa, & figuris æneis illustrata.
Johann Daniel Mylius's 1620 Frankfurt alchemical and medical treatise, printed by Lucas Jennis, presents its apparatus in engraved plates of furnaces, stills and vessels for a learned readership of physicians and chemists. The copperplate pages arrange dozens of small numbered vessels, alembics and furnaces in orderly grids, with fine hatched shading that suggests metal, brick and glass, useful to a designer seeking antique scientific diagram style and precise engraved linework.
