[Alchemical manuscript] [1702?]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/313860827

Alchemical manuscript written around 1702 and containing 3 parts by apparently different writers. The first and most central part consists of a treatise on alchemical practices, while the other two sections include a set of alchemical recipes, and a small section of Latin quotations relating to alchemy. The main section, possibly copied from an earlier work, focuses on practical alchemical processes relating to the distillation and purification of substances, the manufacture of elixirs and compound and the transmutation of metals. It includes some personal observations as well, and like the rest of the text, shows the influence of the Hartlib circle, John Everard, Kenelm Digby and John Heydon.
