jraw FASCICULUS CHEMICUS; or, Chymical Collections : expressing the ingress, progress, and egress of the SECRET HERMETICK SCIENCE out of the choicest and most famous authors, &c, whereunto is added the ARCANUM ; or, Grand Secret of Hermetick Philosophy, made English by James Hasolle, Esquire [Elias Ashmole]. Emblematical frontispiece, i2mo., polished calf extra, by Riviere, gilt edges, 1650. Fine clean copy, 70s. This most rare and valuable little volume consists chiefly of extracts from the works of the most famous Alchemical adepts, such as Lully, Flamel, Bernard of Trevisan, Ripley, Geber, Artephius, Basil Valentine, and others. Besides these it also contains the "Arcanum ; or, Grand Secret of Hermetick Philosophy," by a " Concealed Author," a treatise of over a hundred pages. The high interest of the " Fasciculus Chemicus " being well known, it is only necessary to point out to students its increasing rarity and the probability of its soon fetching a much higher price than that now asked for it.
