Summary

French translation of recipes from the second part (Praeparationes) and third part (Operationes chymicae) of the Codex medicamentarius seu pharmacopoea Parisiensis (5th edition, 1758). The recipes in the second part are in categories such as syrups, extracts, and powders; the recipes in the second part are for methods such as distillation. At the end of the volume are a table of contents (with a note that the present book concerns the Pharmacopoea translated into French, p. 366-377) and a fold-out table of symbols for chemical characters for metals, minerals, instruments, weights, operations, and productions (pasted to p. 378).
