Paradis, Paul Canossa, called. Ce livre contient ung petit traicte de Alkimie tourné de langue hebraique en langue françoyse. Manuscript on vellum. [Paris, before 1540]
A compilation of seventy-three recipes of practical alchemy, preceded by an explication of the terms used, and an indication of the days and the planets attributed to specific metals. Its author (d. 1549) was descended from an important Jewish family of Venice, the Meshulam (known as “Dal Banco”). He had converted to Catholicism and travelled to France, where he joined a sister, Françoise, at the court of the Queen of Navarre, Marguerite d’Angoulême, becoming her tutor in Greek and Hebrew, then in October 1530 professor of Hebrew at the Collège de France. He assumed the name “Paradis” about 1533 and was naturalized in 1537.
The manuscript was written for the soldier and stateman Anne de Montmorency (1493–1567), appointed by François I in 1538 Constable of France.
