Nicolas Flamel is a legendary figure, and his attributed works, most notably 'Le Livre des figures hiéroglyphiques', have been translated into English multiple times since the 17th century (e.g., the 1624 English translation by Eirenaeus Orandus). However, the specific 1751 German collection titled 'Chemical Works' (likely a compilation of various alchemical texts attributed to Flamel) does not appear to have a direct, complete English translation as a single volume. While the individual texts contained within such a collection have been translated, the specific 1751 German edition itself has not been translated into English. Therefore, this represents a first complete translation of this specific compilation.
