1 volume 73 ff. 4to. 21 x 14 1/2 cm. Modern vellum binding. Piece cut out of lower outer corner of fol. 14. The end is wanting. Margins have been cropped in rebinding. The first leaf-in the present foliation fol. I-is vellum, and was probably a fly-leaf of the volume as originally bound: it is slightly wormed. Written in a small semi-current gothic hand, probably Italian. Ff. 9r, 10r, 21v, 22, 42v and 52r contain pen-drawn figures: on f. 14r is drawing of an alchemical still. Fol. 1 Latin receipt in a 15th cent. hand for 'Aqua mirabilis' for the eyes: below a receipt in a 16th cent. hand. Under this in an early 17th cent. hand 'Raimundi Lulii e Maiorica/de lapidis Philosphorum constructione/et transmutatione metallica'. .
