Bifolium metallicum, seu medicina duplex, pro metallis et hominibus infirmis, â proceribus artis Hermeticæ, sub titulo Lapidis philosophici inventa, elaborata et posteritati transmisso, jam vero denuo recognita ... methodice tradita, et ... proposita a Pantaleone, Hermeticae sophiae perito
Bifolium metallicum is an alchemical treatise by Pantaleon, printed in Nuremberg in 1679 by the heirs of the bookseller Paul Fürst, and aimed at readers interested in metals and medicine. Its two pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments, one a symmetrical leafy scroll with flowers and a pendant bud, the other a winged figure with a halo flanked by candle-like finials, showing how compact baroque vignettes can frame a page.
