Summa perfectionis Magisterii in sua natura; Ex bibliothecae Vaticanae exemplari undecunq; emendatissimo edita, cum vera genuinaq delineatione vasorum & fornacum. Deniq; libri investiationis Magisterii & testamenti ejusdem Gebri, ac Aurei trium verborum libelli, & acutissimi philosophi, mineralium additione castigatissima. "Gedani" [i.e. probably Gdansk]: Apud Brunonem Laurentium Tancken, 1682. 8vo (149 x 90mm). Woodcutinitials and ornaments, 9 engraved plates showing methods of distillation ([?]lacking frontispiece [see footnote], rusthole in H7 affecting letters, lightly browned and stained throughout, a few darker spots). [?]18th-century half vellum and boards with a stylised interlacing foliate design incorporating birds and allegorical figures, spine with title in early manuscript (some light staining and rubbing). Provenance: illegible signature dated 1712 on front pastedown. This work on alchemy and distillation is believed to have been attributed to Geber in the middle-ages.
