This work has been entered as by 'Pseudo-Aristoteles', and has not been identified with any recorded alchemical tract, though it is certainly a late production, and perhaps belongs to the period of the 'Lullian Collection' as described by Thorndike in Vol. IV of his History of Magic and Experimental Science.
Purchased 1923.
