The work is in five parts, called “Physica Subterranea”,  “Experimentum Chimicum Novum quo Artificialis et instantanea Metallorum Generatio et Transmutatio ad oculum demonstrator”, “In Physicam Subterraneam demontratio philosophica seu Theses Chimica” and “Experimentum novum ac curiosum de Minera Arenaria Perpetua”.

A very good copy of the key texts of one of the finest German chemists.
