A New Light of Alchymie / Taken out of the Fountaine of Nature, and Manuall Experience. Etc.

by Michal Sedziwój; Paracelsus

The Chymicall Dictionary was re-alphabetized in order to make it easier to use. Also in the Chymicall Dictionary, in the original book, there were no drop-caps for “W” and “Y”.

The cover was produced by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.

Typos which could be identified have been fixed, details follow. The word or words in the square brackets are the correction which appears in this book.

And finally, while not a typo, in the Chymicall Dictionary, there was an entry:

Anotasier	}
Aliocab	}	are Salt Armoniack.
Alemzadar	}

which was changed to:
Anotasier, Aliocab or Alemzadar is Salt Armoniack.
to be consistent in format with the rest of the dictionary.
