"By the later Middle Ages, alchemy was a venerable tradition that had generate hundreds of texts that ranged from the practical to the mystical or aesthetic. Their forms ranged from laboratory notebooks or manuals, through alternate interpretations of practical manuals written in code, to lavishly illustrated manuscripts of both these types.
