TABLE OF THE FIRST BOOK

Of Alchemy.

A complex hierarchical diagram using branching braces to categorize the processes and subdivisions of Alchemy, specifically focusing on the part named Encheria. The diagram branches from Encheria into Elaboratione, Coadunatio, and Exaltatione, which further divide into numerous technical chemical operations such as Solutio, Calcinatio, and Distillatio.

• Encheria (which scenafic and pyronomic arts serve) consists of:
  • Elaboration (which parascenafic art serves), which is:
    • Solution.
      • Liquation
        • Fusion
        • Deliquium
    • Segregation
      • Separation
        • Abstraction
          • Ablation
            • Filtration
            • Subduction
            • Clepsydria
          • Abscess, etc., where Putrefaction occurs
        • Calcination
          • Reverberatory
            • Titanosis
            • Tephrosis
          • Alcoholization
            • Comminution
            • Corrosion, etc.
      • Distraction
      • Extraction
        • Expression
        • Prolectation
          • Sublimation
          • Distillation
  • Coadunation
    • Composition
      • Inceration
      • Incorporation
      • Colliquation
      • Confusion
      • Conglutination
      • The preceding five operations are grouped together by a bracket labeled Mixings
    • Coagulation
  • Exaltation, which is:
    • Maturation
      • Digestion and Circulation
      • Fermentation and Projection.
    • Gradation
      • Cementation
      • Fulmination
      • Extinction
      • Coloration.
