Penotus palimbios: or The alchymists enchiridion. In two parts. The first containing excellent experienced chymical receipts and balsoms for healing and curing most diseases incident to the body of man, &c. The second part, containing the Practica mirabilis for the accomplishing and obtaining from the beginning to the end the white and red elixir, which whosoever understands, need not read any other book. As also several chymical axioms. Together with a small treatise by way of dialogue, written by that very ancient philosopher Arislaus, concerning the philosophers stone. To which second part is prefix’d an apologetick introduction, written in answer to a scurrilous libel, published in Latin in Germany by D. Nicholaus Guibertus, in which answer is maintain’d both by reason and authority against the said libel, the possibility of making an elixir for transmutation of lead, and all other imperfect mettals into pure gold and silver. The whole written in Latin long since by that famous Helvetian Bernardus Penotus a Portu Sanctæ Mariæ Aquitani, and now faithfully Englished and claused by B. P. Philalethes.
