Von den natürlichen und ubernatürlichen Dingen : Auch von der ersten Tinctur, Wurtzel und Geiste der Metallen und Mineralien
Only antiquated translations exist. This is the first modern English translation.
The work 'Von den natürlichen und übernatürlichen Dingen' (1624) was translated into English by Daniel Cable in 1670/1671. While several modern editions exist (e.g., 2014, 2021), these appear to be reprints of the 17th-century translation rather than new scholarly translations from the original German. Therefore, no modern English translation has been identified.
