Alchemy

I have also received individually from friends and from elsewhere certain reports related to these men, whose names follow:

Edward Jorden.
H. Wolf.
Tycho Brahe.
Rantzau.
Otto, Count of Mansfeld.
Georg Walther.
Mercuriale.
Turner.
Hieronymus Botonnus.
Magenbuch.
Aicholz.
Didymus Obrecht.
Gabriel Beatus.
Hawenreuter.
Sterpin.
Felix Plater.

Balthasar Brunner.
Posthius.
Onofrius.
Brechtelius.
And. P. Perusinus.
Caspar Reckler.
D. Palma.
Martin Fabius.
Costeus.
Mathesius, Physician.
Michele Mercati.
Giovanni Battista Zapata.
Johann Straub.
Sebastian Meier.
Eucharius, etc.

Who, even if they are not all the authors of the works ascribed to them, are nevertheless to be greatly praised because they made those things public for the benefit of mankind. Indeed, I am reserving certain matters for the commentary, in case they themselves should meanwhile publish their own works, although some are already extant.

Certain things have also been attributed to the laboratories of certain states, such as:

Augsburg.
Nuremberg.
Zurich.
Frankfurt.

Breslau.
Heidelberg.
Pforzheim, etc.

Nor should it be doubted that many things still lie hidden, both among some of the aforementioned authors and among:

Jakob Zwinger, son of Theodor.
Petrus Severinus the Dane.
Lavinius.
Severin Göbel.
D. Hiller.
Mermann.

Woyssel.
Sebizius.
Horstius.
Kohlreuter.
Ratzenberger.
Siderocrates.
Joachim Camerarius the younger.
