Cinq traités d'alchimie des plus grands philosophes / Paracelse, Albert le Grand, Roger Bacon, R. Lulle, Arn. de Villeneuve ; traduits du latin en français par Alb. Poisson ; précédés de la table d'émeraude, suivis d'un glossaire.
A Paris alchemy anthology of 1890 from the Bibliothèque Chacornac, gathering five treatises by Paracelsus, Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, Ramon Lull and Arnaud de Villeneuve, translated into French by Albert Poisson for readers of occult and esoteric texts. The pictures are engraved emblems combining suns, crescent moons, planetary and alchemical symbols, a winged bird, a treasure chest and a fountain, all in tight circular or flask-shaped frames, offering a designer dense, symmetrical symbolic compositions suited to hermetic or vintage mystical motifs.
