Hamburg, Spieringk für Schultze, 1685. - (14 x 8 cm). (48) 602 (10) S. Moderner Pergamentband im Stil der Zeit.
Zweite Ausgabe des Robert Boyle gewidmeten Werkes, erstmals 1684 in London erschienen. - "The secrets of the adepts are treated very discreetly, and the author restricts his attention mainly to one - what was called Raymund Lully's Spirit of Wine, believed to be the substance now known to chemists as acetone. The book, however, contains besides some preparations for medical use and a chapter on transmutation... Considering that the book deals with secrets of chemistry in a very secret way, Weidenfeld's may be called in every sense a 'Secret Work'" (Ferguson, Bibliographical Notes). - "The identity of the author is a very difficult one to establish. Joecher (IV, 1852) says he was a doctor at Hamburg; the German Dictionary of Biography does not mention him at all" (Duveen). - Nahezu fleckenfreies Exemplar in guter Erhaltung. - Ferguson II, 538 (Anm.); Neville II, 620; Ferchl 571; Krivatsy 12901; Brüning 2593; Ferguson, Bibliographical Notes II, S.44; Fulton, Boyle 281 (Anm.); vgl.
