http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/775342261

Two volumes. One contains a manuscript copy, in French, of an unidentified treatise by Raymond Lully (Ramon Llull) on alchemy, as well as a copy of a letter from Lully to King Robert. The other contains a manuscript copy, in French, of another unidentified treatise on alchemy, possibly by Lully. This is followed by "Pratique de M. Jean de la Fontaine, Jan 1414" and "De Intentione artis toti" by Lully, which includes illustrations. This volume is believed to date to the early eighteenth century. Both volumes are inscribed: "Albert H. Gallatin, Paris 1869."
