Sal Lumen and Spiritus Mundi Philosophici: Selected Annotated Bibliography

p. 248

Separate eighty-page publication, described by Wellcome as bound with one copy of the 1621 treatise. It helps explain an errata reference and bibliographical confusion around 1620. It is distinct from the nine concluding sonnets within the selected 1621 volume and is not silently appended to the present translation.
