Description
Le menstrue végétab[le], petit et grand circulé: ou la Quint'Essence de vin accuée ou aiguisée. Followed by notes and extracts from alchemical authors. Illustrated by small pen-drawings of alchemical apparatus, etc.: written in a very small hand. Montanor's work ends at the top of p. 65: the remainder consists of extracts from printed and MS. works on alchemy. At the end of the last complete leaf: 'à Espinay Lez S. Denis le 13 Novembre 1683'. On the verso of the first (unnumbered) leaf is a pen-drawn coat of arms, under which is inscribed 'B.D. le Ragois Cher M. du R. au Regnt des Gardes Françoises'. It is possible he may be the compiler of this MS. Produced in Espinay-lez-S. Denis.
