The Lexicon Chymicum by William Johnson (1657) is a well-known Latin dictionary of alchemical terms. Extensive searches across multiple catalogs, including the Internet Archive's digitized Early English Books Online (EEBO) records, confirm that the work exists in Latin editions (1652, 1657, 1660) but reveal no evidence of any English translation, complete or partial, having been published. Given its nature as a specialized reference work, it remains untranslated.

About This Book
alchemyhermeticismparacelsiannatural-philosophychemistry
Step into the 17th-century laboratory with William Johnson’s 'Chemical Lexicon,' a defiant roadmap to the 'Light of Nature' that bridges the gap between ancient mysticism and modern chemistry. From the secrets of the Philosophers' Stone to the classification of monsters and mercury, this work challenges traditional Greek philosophy to reveal a universe where medicine is both a spiritual calling and a technical art.
