Description
The prefatory "propositiones" are headed: Expositio librorum Gebri et Raimundi, ex Tuscanico idiomate traducta... incerto authore.
Dialogus primus, veram et genuinam librorum Gebri sententiam explicans (p. [1]-152) was first published in Venice in 1544 under title: La espositione di Geber. Lignum vitae (p. [153]-272, with special title page) was first published in Rome in 1542 under title: Il legno della vita. These Latin versions by Guglielmo Grataroli were included in the translator's compilation "Verae alchemiae... doctrina certusque methodus" published in Basel in 1561.
