silberinmanelieht:Illustrations from “The Hermetic Touchstone” (Der Hermetische Probierstein) written in 1647 by Oswald Croll.‘The Hermetic Touchstone in which every last one of the processes and chemical medicines found in Oswald Crollius’s work entitled ‘Royal Alchimist Treasure’ is not only examined and put to the test, but also complemented and enhanced, in the Latin language, with various other beautiful and useful medicines tried by the author’s own hand and his daily experiences.’“Oswald Croll (~1560-1609) was a professor of medicine and alchemy at the University of Marburg in Hesse, Germany. A strong proponent of alchemy and of using chemistry in medicine, he attempted to influence thinkers of his day towards viewing chemistry and alchemy as two separate fields. He published one volume in 1609, the year of his death, containing two books 'Basilica Chymica' and 'De Signatura Rerum' plus a long preface in which he expounds the ideas of Paracelsus to whom he was devoted.
