- Abstract:
- Manuscript on paper, composed in three parts, of a large number of practical procedures, chiefly alchemical but sometimes medical, with a few standard medieval alchemical texts by Khalid ibn Yazid, Theodoric, and Albertus Magnus. Occasionally there are passages in cipher, added by Martin Roesel of Rosenthal ca. 1586, long after the principal contents were written; the cipher seems to be of a simple number-substitution type.
- Description:
- Binding: Probably ca. 1586 for Martin Roesel. Red-stained limp parchment (most of the stain now lost), single central clasp and catch now missing from center of fore-edges, two slits on each fore-edge for thong or ribbon ties, also missing., In Latin and German, partly in cipher., Script: Part I (ff. 1-29): Written in 1536 in red and black in a gothic cursive by Wolfgang the Organist.

Marginal drawings of alchemical apparatus are cropped, as also marginalia., and Watermarks: 1) unidentified eagle watermark somewhat resembling Briquet 104; 2) a crown pattern resembling Briquet 4921 and 1922; 3) the Paschal lamb resembling Briquet 61.

- Abstract:
- This rare introduction to the chemistry of dyes includes 153 mounted color samples. F. F. Runge (1795-1867) was dubbed "Dr. Poison" (Doktor Gift) by his fellow medical students at Jena because of his research on poisonous plants. Runge earned a second doctorate, in chemistry, from Berlin, and went on to a career as director of a chemical factory in Oranienburg. He was the first to isolate phenol and aniline from coal tar and showed how synthetic dyes could be made from these compounds, an accomplishment that made him a significant figure in the economic history of Germany. While he was still a student in Jena, Runge isolated caffeine for the first time, and it is said that Goethe gave him the coffee beans for this experiment. Runge was also the first to isolate quinine.
