    Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. Plein veau moderne, dans le style de l'époque. Un volume in-8 (199x134 mm), (8)-124 feuillets. Un bois alchimique gravé pleine page. Sig. (a?b)4, (A-2H)4. Pâle mouillure sans gravité. Anciennes marques d'appartenances manuscrites sur la page de titre partiellement effacées. Édition originale de l'un des premiers recueils de textes alchimiques. Il contient le "pretiosa margarita novella" de Petrus Bonus (1330) déjà publié par Alde en 1546, dans un recueil portant un titre similaire au nôtre mais dont le contenu est très différent. On trouve aussi des textes d'Arnaud de Villeneuve, de Lulle, Rhasès, Albert le Grand et Michel Scot. Le texte a été divisé en cinq chapitres correspondant à des étapes de procédés alchimiques. Provenance : P. Mercator 1620 (inscription sur la page de titre). References : Duveen [p. 332 : "This collection seems to differ considerably from the 1546 edition. Only the last book can be clearly recognised"]. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ENGLISH_DESCRIPTION : Moder full calf, antic style. 8vo (199x134 cm), (8)-124 leaves. One fullpage alchemical woodcut. Few marginal waterstains. Old handwritten marks of ownership on the title page partially erased. FIRST EDITION of this practical guide to alchemy. Lacinius's Pretiosa margarita novella de thesauro, ac pretiosissimo philosophorum lapide (taken from the fourteenth-century manuscript of Petrus Bonus) had previously been published by the Aldine press in Venice in 1546, and although this collection has a similar title, the contents are somewhat different. Lacinius may have been a pseudonym; it is thought that the author was in fact Giovanni da Crotone, a Franciscan friar from Calabria. Provenance : P. Mercator 1620 (inscription sur la page de titre). References : Duveen [p. 332 : "This collection seems to differ considerably from the 1546 edition. Only the last book can be clearly recognised"]. 438g.…

Ausg.); Schmieder S.260; Ackermann IV/109. - Enthält insbes. die erstmals 1546 in Venedig erschienene Bearbeitung des kalabresischen Minoriten Janus bzw. Giovanni Lacinius von einem 1330-1339 in Pola (Istrien) verfassten Werk des Petrus Bonus aus Ferrara. Dazu weitere Schriften von Lacinius, welche überwiegend aus Auszügen aus den Werken von A. Villanova u.a. im Titel genannten Autoren bestehen. Neben den Widmungen u. fiktiven Gesprächen der Erstausg. bringt der Übersetzer Stoll noch den Text eines in Münchshausen (bei Lüneburg) gefundenen alchemistischen Manuskripts (lateinisch u. dtsch. Übersetzung, 6S.). - Petrus Bonus führt in diesem Werk u.a. etliche Gründe an, die gegen die Alchemie sprechen, um in jew. darauf folgenden Kapiteln das Gegenteil zu beweisen. Auch geht er auf die Schwierigkeiten bei der Alchemie ein u. gleich zu Anfang enthält der Text nach symbolischen Abb. von Bäumen eine allegorische Bildfolge zur Transmutation (Ein König wird durch seinen Sohn ermordet, begraben u. später aus seinen Knochen wieder zum Leben erweckt. Siehe dazu: Ploss, Alchemia S.130ff.; J. van Lennep, Alchemie S.153ff. u. C.G. Jung, Psychologie und Alchemie 3.Aufl. S.192ff.) mit dem abschliessenden Text: "Niemand, der ein Betrüger, Geizhals, oder sonst ein gottloser Bösewicht ist, greiffe dieses heilige Werck mit unreinen Händen an: hieher nahe sich mit seinem Gemüthe wer From und Weise ist, und welcher nebst den Gründen der Sachen auch die Lehren selbst erkennen könne." - Neuer Einband; innen durchgehend etwas fleckig; einige Blatt leicht knittrig; ein Blatt mit Bleistift-Anstreichungen u. Marginalien, sonst ein gutes Expl.…
