Publisher's Synopsis
The Consolation of Navigators, Tartar from Lees of Wine (also called The Work of Tartar), and Book of Fires were written by Johann Glauber in the 17th Century. I have combined them into this one book because they are each very short. Also included are Glauber's "A Short Book of Dialogues" and "Novum Lumen Chymicum." Christopher Packe provided the English translation from the High Dutch. The English edition was published in London in 1689, and from it this work was extracted. Glauber's works are voluminous, consisting of over 2,500 pages of text. This part of the complete works of Glauber was restored and added to the R.A.M.S. (Restorers of Alchemical Manuscripts Society) Library by Hans W. Nintzel in 1982 and 1983. https: //ramsalchemy.jimdo.com
