Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint. Reprint. Hardcover. Andreas Libavius (born c. 1540, Halle [Germany]-died July 25, 1616, Coburg) was a German chemist, physician, and alchemist who made important chemical discoveries but is most noted as the author of the first modern chemistry textbook. Of his numerous works, all of which were noted for clear, unambiguous writing, the most important was Alchymia (1606; "Alchemy"), a work that established the tradition for 17th-century French chemistry textbooks. Although he was a firm believer in the transmutation of base metals into gold, Libavius was renowned for his vitriolic attacks against the mysticism and secretiveness of his fellow alchemists. Libavius pioneered in the analytic approach to chemistry. Among his discoveries were methods for the preparation of ammonium sulfate, antimony sulfide, hydrochloric acid, and tin tetrachloride. From the personal library collection of Brian Cotnoir, alchemist, artist and award-winning filmmaker. Author of Practical Alchemy: Guide to the Great Work, The Emerald Tablet, a series of Alchemical 'Zines, Alchemical Meditations, Alchemy: The Poetry of Matter and most recently On Alchemy: Essential Practices and Making Art as Alchemy. He has presented seminars and workshops around the world on various aspects of the alchemy. Khepri Press was started in 2014 as a place to organize and distribute his work. It is a very small press dedicated to alchemical book arts. Some of this work is publishable and others may exist only in manuscript or object form - alchemical results or talismans.

3 parts in 1 volume. Second enlarged edition of the first systematic chemistry textbook, richly illustrated with nearly 200 woodcut illustrations. It was written by Andreas Libavius (ca. 1555-1616), one of the founders of chemical analysis, and is his chief work. As the first edition was not illustrated, the second edition specifically is considered "the greatest and most beautiful of all books on chemistry in the seventeenth century" (DSB). Copies of it rarely appear on the market.In his writings, Libavius sought to separate out the occult and mystical aspects of alchemy and reclaim it as a proper scientific discipline in its own right, but without rejecting alchemical processes such as the transmutation of metals. In the present work, he divides alchemy in two parts: encheria and chymica. The former is the knowledge of chemical procedures, and includes a description of vessels and furnaces, with numerous illustrations. The latter is the description of substances and their properties. Independent of these are two further divisions of alchemy, namely "ars probandi", the analysis of minerals, metals and mineral waters, and "theoretical alchemy", which concerns the philosophers' stone. The work also discusses alloys and transmutation, and includes recipes for remedies, oil, spirits, acids, distilled waters, alkalis, and salts.With the bookplate of the Prince of Liechtenstein mounted on the front pastedown, a contemporary ownership annotation ("Ex bibl Boom") in the head margin of the title page. The edges and corners of the boards are slightly scuffed, the front and back are slightly scratched, with some loss of material on the back board. The work is browned throughout, lacking the final blank leaf.

3 volumes. First edition of a, mostly polemical, follow-up to the "unusually clear and highly systematic" (DSB) standard work on alchemy and early chemistry, Alchymia (1597), by the well-known German chemist Andreas Libavius (1540-1616). The present work, known as the Syntagmatis, consists of three separately published volumes (volume 1 and 2 second issue), each with a different title. In the first two volumes Libavius elaborates on his experiments in chemistry (illustrated with many woodcut illustrations of various sorts of glassware, vessels and other devices), followed by comments on the writings of Palmarius, Croll, Quercetanus (Duchesne) and many others. In the third volume, the appendix, he mentions controversies with Paracelsus, the Rosecrucians, Henning Scheunemann and Nicolas Guibert.Browned throughout and some small imperfections; boards slightly bowed. Good copy.l Alchemy and the occult 71 (appendix only); Brüning 1059, 1114, 1115; DSB VIII, pp. 309-312; Ferguson II, p. 33.

(21 x 16 cm). (12) 742 (12) S. Mit figürlicher Holzschnitt-Titelbordüre und Holzschnitt-Druckermarke. Pergamentband der Zeit mit erneuertem Lederrücken. Einzige Ausgabe einer seiner seltensten Schriften, hier in einem Exemplar aus der Bibliothek des Medizinhistorikers Walter Pagel. - Libavius beschreibt in vorliegendem Band die Entstehung der Welt aus theologisch-philosophischer Sicht und orientiert sich dabei am Sechstagewerk des biblischen Schöpfungsberichtes. It "deals with six days of Creation; pillars of Seth; aqua sicca = mercury; transmutation of plants; rejects the divining rod (de Virgula divina theses, mentioning Agricola); rejects astrology; accepts the barnacle goose" (Partington). Die Zwischentitel behandeln neben der Entstehung der geschaffenen Dinge die Erschaffung der Engel, das geschaffene Firmament und die Teilung des Wassers, die Trennung des Meeres oder der unteren Wasser von der Erde, die Anfänge der Pflanzen und der mit ihnen zusammenhängenden Mineralien sowie ihre natürliche Beschaffenheit, die Erschaffung der Lichter und der Sterne, die Erschaffung der Fische und Vögel, das Atemholen der Fische und Insekten, die Erschaffung der Lebewesen aus Erde und die zu bewundernde Erschaffung des Menschen. In einem umfangreichen Anhang setzt sich Libavius mit den satanischen Lehren auseinander, durch welche die Welt unrein geworden ist. Der Band enthält auch seine Polemik gegen die Astrologie. - Der Philosoph und Arzt Libavius (1555-1616), ein Universalgelehrter seiner Zeit, wurde besonders als Mitbegründer der modernen Chemie berühmt. - Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, Vorsätze etwas stärker, und stellenweise etwas braunfleckig. Titel mit Besitzvermerken von alter Hand und verso gestempelt. Hinterer Einbanddeckel leicht fleckig, sonst gut erhalten. - DSB 8, 309; Partington II, 251, XVIII; VD17 39:119916C.…
