Jo. Jacobi Mangeti...Bibliotheca chemica curiosa, seu rerum ad alchemiam pertinentium thesaurus instructissimus: quo non tantùm artis auriferæ, ac scriptorum in ea nobiliorum historia traditur; lapidis veritas argumentis & experimentis innumeris, immò & juris consultorum judiciis evincitur; termini obscuriores explicantur; cautiones contra impostores, & difficultates in tinctura universali conficienda occurrentes, declarantur: verùm etiam tractatus omnes virorum celebriorum, qui in magno sudarunt elixyre, quíque ab ipso Hermete, ut dicitur, Trismegisto, ad nostra usque tempora de chrysopoea scripserunt, cum præcipuis suis commentariis, concinno ordine dispositi exhibentur.
