    Notes: A wise work, illustrated with magnificent copper engravings, and where the double nature of man, spiritual and material, is explored in depth. Its relations with mysticism, symbology, hieroglyphics and the mysteries of the occult. We find herbal signatures and their astrological correspondence for the treatment of diseases of all parts of the human body. It does not forget magic or alchemy, and reveals wonderful secrets, such as the hidden properties of saliva, urine, sperm, and excrement, with the help of which surprising results can be obtained. The author, who frequented alchemists a lot, also describes a profusion of rare and precious preparations and formulas. It is a unique work of its kind (Caillet 9948).
