- As promised, this is the remainder of Jacques Sadoul's _Le_Tresor_des_Alchi-
- mistes_'s bibliography. As with the first part, books suggested by the
- author have a '*' before the title. Where I saw fit, I translated the title
- to the best of my capabilities. The entries should be read as follows:
- Author, title (translation) (year of first print). Publisher and/or second
- editor and/or translated by.
-
-
- Main alchemy treaties of ancient philosophers:(1)
-
- Often, these works are not easily accessible, even in large libraries. I
- will indicate those that have been re-edited by G. Salmon in his _Biblio-
- theque_des_Philosophes_Chimiques_ (Library of Chemical Philosophers), in
- french or by J.-J. Manguet in the _Bibliotheca_Chemica_Curiosa_, in latin.
- One will also consult Elias Ashmole's _Theatrum_Chemicum_Britanicum_,
- published in England in 1652.
