Part II — Chapter 2: The Three Philosophical Principles

Book Mode

German & Latin

Quoad secundam operationem. Dieweil diese Arbeit gar für leicht gehalten / auch davon bey dem Hollando, Kellæo, Filio Sendivogii, und andern gnugsamer Bericht gefunden wird; Als lasse ichs / und bevorab in deme meine Meynung nicht ist alhie eine außführliche Practicam und Proceß zu beschreiben / darbey billich bewenden.

Candida Phoenix Philosophica: Part II — Chapter 2: The Three Philosophical Principles

As for the second operation: since this work is considered quite easy, and sufficient information about it may be found in Hollandus, Kelley, Filius Sendivogii and others, I shall properly leave it there, especially since I do not intend to describe a detailed practice and procedure here.
