Othmer Collection: Alchemical Miscellany - Paul Ferguson - 09-29-2026
"This manuscript is an important miscellany of practical and theoretical alchemical texts with a full-page drawing of alchemical instruments reflecting the activities of a fifteenth-century alchemist. The manuscript was written in Italy, probably Northern Italy, most likely in the third quarter of the fifteenth century, circa 1450-1475, based on the evidence of the script. Notably, at least part of the manuscript is a palimpsest (copied on previously used parchment, with the original script scraped and/or washed away). "
