| Thanks, Paul. I am making a study of the graphic alchemical symbols, so am collecting examples. This may turn into a book!

| Sadly, the copy from the Munich digital collection is tightly bound. The engraving is in two parts across two pages. So when microfilming they have damaged the columns of graphic symbols towards the centre, and entirely cropped those on the far right.

Brilliant, that one has a good copy of the diagram. The operator opened up the folded engraving and photographed it well.
Thanks, Paul, you always seem to be able to source material.
