Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

Epistolae alchemicae. Opus de lapide philosophico. Praeloquium. Tractatus Isaacci Hollandi. Followed by various medical, iatrochemical and alchemical receipts, and a long tract on the Powder of Sympathy. In Latin, French and Italian, with a few entries in Spanish. Illustrated with a few rough pen-drawings of alchemical apparatus, etc. The first three works have not been identified, but they seem to have been written by a practising alchemist who was very widely read in the literature, and he gives copious quotations from many authors. Possibly written in an Italian hand.  Produced in Kaschau [Kassa].
