The 1682 French work is a reprint of the 1612 'Trois traitez de la philosophie naturelle', which contains three alchemical treatises by Artephius, Flamel, and Synesius. While the Flamel and Artephius sections were translated into English by Eirenaeus Orandus in 1624, and the Synesius section was translated by William Salmon in 1692, no complete modern scholarly translation of the entire 1612/1682 French compilation exists. The existing translations are antiquated and were published separately or in different contexts.
