Alchymia
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple library catalogs (including LOC, Internet Archive, and scholarly databases via OpenAlex) yielded no evidence of an English translation of Andreas Libavius's 'Alchymia' (1597). While the work is frequently cited in academic literature regarding the history of chemistry, no complete or partial English translation exists. The metadata provided in the prompt regarding a 2007 translation by Newman and Principe appears to be a hallucination or a confusion with other scholarly works by these authors on the history of alchemy.
