Abstract:

• Alchemical treatises in an anonymous French translation of 1584. Cristoforo Parigino (also known as Christophe de Paris, Christophe Parisien, and Christophorus Parisiensis) was an Italian alchemist who lived in Venice and wrote in Italian. He was much influenced by works then attributed to Ramón Llull (1232?-1316), or "pseudo-Llull." This is one of the known manuscripts of this 1584 French translation (London, Wellcome Library, MS. 192; Leiden, University Library, Vossius. Chym. Q3; and Bibliothèque Nationale de France (see Inventaire général et methodique des manuscrits français de la Bibliothèque Nationale). Marginal notes in at least two 17th-century hands, occasionally quite extensive (e.g. pp. 122, 132, 158, 192).
