Le vray et methodique cours de la physique resolutiue, vulgairement dite chymie : representé par figures generales & particulieres : pour connoistre la theotechnie ergocosmique, c'est à dire, l'art de Dieu, en l'ouurage de l'vniuers
Annibal Barlet's course in "resolutive physics," or chymistry, printed in Paris in 1653 by Noël Charles and sold by the author at the College des Trois Evesques, addressed to students of his laboratory lectures. The plates mix alchemical schemes and furnace diagrams with letterpress woodcut ornament: strip headbands of acanthus scrollwork inhabited by grotesque masks and small beasts, and foliate initials framed by laurel and seed pods.
