Abstract/Contents

Summary
CCCC MS 396 purports to be a collection of alchemical texts written by Ramón Lull (1232–1316) copied in 1465. Like many such collections, the attribution of texts to Lull is spurious in many cases. The book contains a few diagrams. MS 396 is one of several alchemical manuscripts in Parker's collection.
