As promised, this is the remainder of Jacques Sadoul's _Le_Tresor_des_Alchi-
mistes_'s bibliography.  As with the first part, books suggested by the
author have a '*' before the title.  Where I saw fit, I translated the title
to the best of my capabilities.  The entries should be read as follows:
Author, title (translation) (year of first print).  Publisher and/or second
editor and/or translated by.


Main alchemy treaties of ancient philosophers:(1)

Often, these works are not easily accessible, even in large libraries.  I
will indicate those that have been re-edited by G. Salmon in his _Biblio-
theque_des_Philosophes_Chimiques_  (Library of Chemical Philosophers), in
french or by J.-J. Manguet in the _Bibliotheca_Chemica_Curiosa_, in latin.
One will also consult Elias Ashmole's _Theatrum_Chemicum_Britanicum_, 
published in England in 1652.
