No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
No English translation of this specific French manuscript collection (BnF MS Français 5680) or the specific treatises by Bernard de Labadie contained within it was found in any major scholarly or commercial catalogs. While some individual works often found in similar alchemical miscellanies (such as Limojon de Saint-Didier's 'Le Triomphe de l'hermétisme') have historical English translations, the unique compilation and the specific texts by Labadie remain untranslated. Specialist society versions (e.g., R.A.M.S.) are noted as partial or private and do not constitute a complete published translation of this work.
