This work appears to be an Italian version of the treatise by Bernhardus, first published in Latin with the title given above, at Bäle in 1583: but there are considerable differences both in the text and in the order of the contents. For an account of the Author and his works, see Thorndike's History of Magic and Experimental Science, Vol. III, pp. 618-626, and Ferguson's 'Bibliotheca Chemica, Vol. I, pp. 101-104, Vol. II, pp. 496-467.
