Very rare second edition of this chemical and medical work by Philipp Müller (1585-1659), who was professor in Mathematics at Leipzig University and who published several books on mathematics and astronomy, especially on comets. The first edition of this treatise on chemical and medical issues was published in Freiburg in 1610. Apparently the work has had quite a success as there are till 1659 at least eight editions, sometimes under the title Miracula et mysteria chymico-medica.
Copy from the library of Philip Henricus Boeckler at Strassbourg (ex-libris with his coat of arms on the verso of the front cover, engraved by J. Striedbeck).
