Abstract/Contents

Summary: CCCC MS 396 purports to be a collection of alchemical texts written by Ramón Lull (12321316) copied in 1465. Like many such collections, the attribution of texts to Lull is spurious in many cases. The book contains a few diagrams. MS 396 is one of several alchemical manuscripts in Parker's collection.
Contents: Reportatio Raymundi -- Brancae de tinctura -- De clausuris vasorum -- Opus bonum atque perfectum -- Note on the works of RamÃ³n Lull -- Practica sermocinalis -- Note on 'calor' -- Opus Raymundi secundum humanae generationis modum -- Practica de furnis -- De alteracione metallorum
