First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The core text, Michael Sendivogius's 'Novum Lumen Chymicum', has been available in English since John French's 1650 translation and was later included in A.E. Waite's 'The Hermetic Museum' (1893). However, the specific 1682 compilation (often identified as 'Chymisches Kleinod') includes Orthelius's 'Twelve Secret Chemical Tables', which were not part of the earlier English editions. While Adam McLean published a translation of Orthelius's tables in 2015, no single English volume has translated the entire 1682 Latin-German compilation as a unified work.
