III. and the Senate of Venice, in 1546.
The Pretiosa Margarita Novella is supposed to be a " faithful abridgment " of a work entitled Margarita Pretiosa, which appears to have circulated in manuscript in Italy during the first half of the fourteenth century, but does not seem to have been printed. It was written by Pietro Bono, who enjoys high repute as an adept in the art of Alchemy ; and the present version, which has been subjected to a searching revision, is edited with an introductory analysis of the various Hermetic books which are attributed to this author. The Pretiosa Margarita Novella has special interest as one of the earliest books which appeared in print on Alchemy.
