[English translation] Excellent and healing oil of sulfur. Take 10 lb. of urine and put therein 5 lb. of quicklime and dissolve it in the urine. Then put it on the fire until one third has disappeared. Let it cool and trickle it through felt and save it. Then take 1 lb. of finely-powdered yellow sulfur and put thereon 4 lb. of this urine and incorporate them well. Put it in the retort and place it in the oven with its cover and put the receptacle in place and make a slow fire until you draw off half of the water. Then put it again on the dregs and do this 2 times. The third time make the fire very low until you draw off all the water. Then increase the fire and the oil will come out, but change the receptacle after the water and close the opening very well around so that nothing escapes and the most beautiful yellow oil will come out that appears like streaming gold. It has many virtues, especially against retracted nerves and paralysis and it removes this illness. Another. It heals every fistula from salt humor, both old and recent. If you will put this oil with oil of pears and oil of egg yolk and extracted ox marrow and mix them in the form of a poultice or unguent and with this unguent rub near the fire or in the sun those with itch, sciatica or gout caused by cold, you will see the body purged in a wonderful way. I swear to you by God that there is not on the earth such a secret remedy like this that hardens mercury into perfect gold. I do not wish to declare to you the countless, wonderful effects especially on the human body and likewise on the bodies of metals. To make clear and beautiful oil of laurel berries. Take whatever quantity of laurel berries that you have and crush them and put them in a large boiler with enough water. Boil it very slowly until it reduces more than 2/3. Then remove it from the fire and let it cool. Collect the fat that is on top of the water and this will be the true oil of laurel berries. Save this for your needs for which it has many tested and excellent virtues as here in part you will learn. First this oil is warm in the third, some say in the fourth, but I say in the third degree. It is very powerful in removing the itch both when given alone and with other oils. When the spleen is rubbed repeatedly with this warm oil and with oil of capers, it is cured. Also with oil of lily, of camomile and saffron, this oil is powerful when it is rubbed on the body of a woman for 3 or 4 evenings to cause the period to start. If a man rubs his member and uses it, he will feel an effect out of the ordinary. It is powerful in many cold infirmities and cures marvelously. To make oil of antimony. Take 1 lb. of ground antimony and 2 lb. of mercuric sublimate and rub them together carefully and distill them in a retort on ashes with the mouth of the receptacle sealed. The distillate will be made in 12 hours. It will be just like ice when distilled again in the retort. If it is distilled for the third time it will give out water that is clean and pure. Take 3 ounces of dregs of this antimony and put 1 lb. of this water in the retort. When it boils a little it will distill out water the color of gold. Then increase the fire and you will have oil of antimony. ---------- [Italian transcript] Olio del solphero magistrale e medicinale.
