Güldenes Kleinod, oder: Schatzkästlein / Aus dem Lateinischen, um seiner Unschätzbarkeit willen, ins Deutsche übersetzt von Fr. Basilio Valentino ... Zum erstenmale herausgegeben, nebst zwoen andern forne mit angedruckten seltenen Handschriften, von Jamimah kranhapuCH.
A German alchemical treatise published in Leipzig in 1782, attributed to Basil Valentine and Johannes Trithemius, aimed at readers of occult and chemical lore. Its pictures are woodcut-style plates of apparatus and symbols: a furnace with a grate, a round covered vessel on curled legs, a distillation still with a bulbous flask, and a circular emblem of intersecting triangles and planetary signs, useful to a designer seeking esoteric diagrams, geometric medallions and antique scientific equipment.
