Molto raro trovarla completa di tutte le sue 7 parti + il vol. di Appendice. Cfr. Sallander Bibliotheca Walleriana,3577 e 3578 la sola bibliografia che segnala l'opera completa dell'Appendice - Wellcome,III, p. 123 non cita l'Appendice - Krivatsy,4804 solo 5 parti - Duveen, p. 257 e Caillet,II,4586 solo 3 parti.<br> Celebre alchimista tedesco, Johann Rudolph Glauber (1604-1668) fu soprannominato il Paracelso della sua epoca e, come quest'ultimo, si dimostrò partigiano delle operazioni e teorie alchemiche le più strane. Iniziò lo studio teorico della affinità chimica, e si occupò di diversi processi tecnologici fra cui la preparazione di acidi minerali (acido cloridrico) e di sali (solfato sodico, sali d'antimonio), la distillazione del legno, ecc. Sotto il nome di "Sale di Glauber" ancora oggi si indica spesso il solfato di sodio idrato che i medici del tempo di Glauber, chiamarono anche "sale mirabile" per le sue proprietà terapeutiche". Così Diz. Treccani,V, p. 461.Con antiche postille e sottolineature a penna; fiorit., lievi aloni margin. e arross. per la qualità della carta, ma complessivam. discreto esemplare.

An interesting sammelband of four of Fabre’s most important works. “Myrothecium Spagyricum” (Part 1 only as usual) being the first edition and the remaining three works being later editions. “Myrothecium Spagyricum” opens with an overview of Paracelsian spagyric medicine, which involves the chemical separation of substances into their fundamental elements, the first part of the book explores the essence of medicaments and their distinction from poisons. Subsequent chapters cover the quintessence of blood and the flesh of various animals like vipers, worms, toads, and crabs for distillation. Parts II and III elaborate on the extraction of the spirit from plants and minerals, including substances such as sulfur, vitriol, and antimony, detailing their characteristics and applications. Part IV delves into the utilization of chemical oils derived from simples and animals through the alchemical art of pyrotechnics. The succeeding sections address specific preparations. Part V concentrates on herbal waters, Part VI on syrups, Part VII on pills crafted from mercury, antimony, vitriol, and others, Part VIII on ointments, and finally, Part IX on electuaries. ""Fabre, a native of Castelnaudary in Languedoc, was born in the latter part of the sixteenth century, and lived until 1650. He was a physician at his native place at Montpellier. He was also a voluminous writer, but his work has been judged unfavourably by different critics"" (Ferguson).
