A82272	Fasciculus chemicus or Chymical collections. Expressing the ingress, progress, and egress, of the secret hermetick science, out of the choisest and most famous authors. Collected and digested in such an order, that it may prove to the advantage, not onely of beginners, but proficients of this high art, by none hitherto disposed in this method. Whereunto is added, the Arcanum or grand secret of hermetick philosophy. Both made English by James Hasolle, Esquire, qui est Mercuriophilus Anglicus.	Dee, Arthur, 1579-1651.; Ashmole, Elias, 1617-1692.	1650 (1650)	Wing D810; Thomason E1325_1; ESTC R209088	90,355	320
