Earlier ed. (1561) has title: Verae alchemiae artisque metallicae, citra aenigmata, doctrina, certusque modus. |

Edited by Guglielmo Gratarolo. |

Vol. 2 has no t.p. and begins with caption title of the first item in it, i.e. "Liber de magni lapidis compositione et operatione, authore adhuc incerto." |

Adams treats the two volumes as separate items. Nevertheless, volume statement on t.p. and table of contents on leaf):(4v of vol. 1 suggest that they were intended as two volumes of the same work. |
