References: HLF 122; Gl lj; TK 271
Manuscript: London, WML, 384

Note: Theoretical and practical treatise, within a conceptual framework similar to that of the Testamentum, with alphabet and tables. The author teaches `acquirere multas artes reales occultas in natura' and warns the reader that `naturam non poteris videre nec realiter possidere in forma nec in materia sine operatione'. The second part is cited as 'Cathalanica practica' in an alchemical French treatise of the fifteenth century (Oxford, ms. Digby 164; cfr. Batista y Roca, p. 15).

I.7 CANTILENA

Manuscripts: Oxford, BL, 465; Oxford, BL, Ashmole 1479; Oxford, BL, Digby 85.
Note: The Latin Cantilena usually follows the complete text of the Testamentum (cfr. I.61), and is often followed in its turn by the text of the Aphorismi (II.6).Yet the oldest known manuscript of the Cantilena is not Latin, but Catalan: Palma, BP 1025. The first edition of the Catalan text (J. Rosselló, Obras rimadas de Ramon Lull, 1859) lacked the last stanzas, which were integrated by the same Rosselló from the text given in ms London, BL, Sloane 419 ("Museu Balear" 1, 1875). Cfr. ORL, vol. XX, ii: Rims, ed. S. Galmes, 1938, pp. xiv-xvi and 290-293 and Carreras y Artau, Historia, II, pp. 53-54. In mss. Oxford BL 465, Oxford CCC 244, Oxford BL, Ashm. 1479 and 1483 the Catalan text is accompanied by a Latin commentary of the first ten stanzas, which clarifies the alchemical meaning of the verses (an edition of the Catalan and Latin text as given in ms Oxford CCC 244, plus the Latin commentary, is currently under press: cfr. below, I.61, note).

Note: Theoretical and practical treatise referring to the Testamentum, with a strong religious flavour (the alchemical nigredo is compared to Christ's death). Without alphabet or figures.

I.9 CLAVICULA SECRETA
(Clavis aurea de transmutatione metallorum)

Incipit/explicit: Rex et fili, oportet ut habeas Mercurium duorum luminarium (S: Rex serenissime et fili carissime, volo tibi declarare altum et admirabile magisterium ...) .../ ... occultando scientiam istam et a propriis eorum filiis (S: ...cum patre et matre sua in saecula saeculorum amen)

I.10A QUID SIT MATERIA LAPIDIS

Incipit: Materia siquidem nostri lapidis vel sulfuris est humor seminalis ...
References: HMES IV, 647; TK 851
Manuscript: Firenze, BNC, Pal. 792

Note: One of the most important, and probably the most beautiful of the alchemical works attributed to Lull. The basic principle of nature is love, and matter is bound by 'amoris foedere'. Grounding on this universal sympathy, the author explains the alchemical practice by means of theoremata (=principles). Ch. 7 presents the two central themes: the analogy between human generation and the alchemical opus, and the need for a 'reformatio materiae', which is the final purpose of the illuminated artifex. From ch. 12 on, the four stages of the opus are described. In ch. 63 there are some probably autobiographical hints. Pseudo-Lullian texts are cited ( Testamentum and Liber de intentione alchimistarum) along with other alchemical authorities and the Hermetical Tabula Smaragdina, whose fourth proposition is extensively commented upon. Alphabet and circular figures are used, with Lullian terminology concerning the human cognitive faculties. I.10a is a chapter of the Codicillus (cfr. ed. 1702, p. 897).

I.11 COMMENTUM SUPER LAPIDEM PHILOSOPHORUM

Note: Brief discussion on the principles of alchemy; for some alchemists they are two, for others they are three, according to the threefold composition of man ( corpus, spiritus, anima).

Note: It is one of the most complex pseudo-Lullian works, for what concerns its textual tradition. Its main focus is on the 'pars lapidifica' (i.e. the making of precious stones), to which it applies the fifth essence of the Liber de secretis naturae. It cites the Testamentum both in Catalan and in Latin and uses alphabet, figures and alchemical devices described in the Liber de secretis naturae.

Note: One of the most famous and widespread works of the pseudo-Lullian alchemical corpus. It is a brief practica, concerning three kinds of lapis: ( mineralis, vegetalis, animalis). It shows the only way to shorten the operative process, which is accomplished by means of various fifth essences (f.e. vitrioli, f.e. aquae ardentis etc.). It bears an explicit attribution to Lull (cfr. Incipit) and it is dedicated to king Robert. It contains an alphabet and seems to cite the Liber de conservatione vitae humanae. It is in turn cited in the Liber de secretis naturae.

Note: The experiments are generally derived from the Testamentum, of which this text is a late reworking. First matter is identified with urine. The religious framework is stressed by the repeated mention of the angels and by the definition of the alchemist as `verus Dei sacerdos'.

Note: Knowledge necessary to the alchemist who makes `spiritum vegetabilem, sicut mulier infantem in utero generat operante natura'. With a brief history of kings and philosophers who learnt alchemy.

I.32 LIBER DE CONSERVATIONE VITAE HUMANAE

Incipit/explicit: Intendimus (intendo) componere rem admirabilem tactam .../ ... nisi in vero auro puro de minera creato iussu ipsius Dei.

Note: It is a medical treatise, without specifically alchemical themes. It teaches to preserve and restore youth `per conservationem spirituum caloris in suo esse et temperantia' and is similar to R. Bacon, De conservatione iuventutis. Cfr. also the incipit of the treatise De vita philosophorum, attributed to Arnald of Villanova (ed. A. Calvet, "Chrysopoeia" IV, 1990-91).

I.33 LIBER DE INTENTIONE ALCHIMISTARUM

Note: This work is cited by the author of the Testamentum as written by himself but it does not include alphabet nor figures. According to HMES III, p. 626, it might be the work of a certain Bernardus: it also shows some similarities to the alchemical work written by Bernard of Treviri. The alchemist tells of his wanderings and of the quest for the 'lapis philosophorum' that he made with three socii: a theologian, an 'eques et doctor in legibus' and a merchant. The title Donum Dei recalls a homonym work of John Dastin.

I.34 LIBER DE INVESTIGATIONE SECRETI OCCULTI

Note: It is one of the most interesting texts of the corpus. Remarkable Lullian elements are present: not only figures, a tree and an alphabet, but also conceptual devices as the correlatives. Alchemy, meant as the lapis or principle of transmutation, is the secret which cannot be produced by nature alone; it needs man's work, artificium. The philosophers' stone is vegetable, animal and mineral; its purpose is generation, and therefore it must be generated out of living beings (`de substanciis vivis'). The true principle of alchemy is man's urine. The practical part of this treatise is an 'ars lapidifica' very near to that described in the Liber lapidarii and in the Compendium animae transmutationis metallorum, but using urine as first matter, instead of alchemical waters or the fifth essence of wine.

I.35 LIBER DE LAPIDE ET OLEO PHILOSOPHORUM

Manuscripts: Firenze, B. Riccardiana, 390; Paris, BN, franç.19069; Toledo, B. del Cabildo, 96-39
Note: Brief practica, concerning the perfect 'aqua vitae'. There are neither alphabets nor figures nor specific Lullian procedures. In MS Riccardiana 390 it seems to be considered a chapter of the Potestas divitiarum (cfr. I.56).

I.36 LIBER DE MODO SUBLIMANDI VIVUM ARGENTUM

References S 58; HLF 307; Gl nl
Manuscripts: Firenze, BNC, II iii 28; Firenze, BNC, Magl. XVI.61
Note: The stone extracted from the human body is stronger and more perfect than 'lapis vegetabilis'. Man must be prepared with remedies and diet in order to obtain a pure human stone.

I.38 LIBER DE SACRATA SCIENTIA BEATI JOANNIS EVANGELISTAE

Note: It is one of the two basic works (with the Testamentum) of the pseudo-Lullian alchemical corpus. It is linked to the Liber de consideratione quintae essentiae written by John of Rupescissa around 1351-52, and concerns alchemy in its threefold division: medical, transmutatory and lapidifica. It was the main vehicle for the diffusion of the alchemical practice based on the fifth essence of wine. The third distinction circulated as an independent text, sometimes with the title listed under I.39a. The relation of I.39b to the main text is more uncertain.

I.61G TRACTATUS DE CREATIONE MERCURIORUM AD FACIENDUM TINCTURAM RUBEAM

Incipit: Nunc dicemus creationem mercuriorum rubeorum ...
References: S 26; HLF 302; Gl nf; TK 963
Manuscript: München, BS, clm10600

Note: It is the basic text of the pseudo-Lullian corpus, using alphabets and figures as mnemonic and heuristic devices and citing two authentic works by Lull (the Arbor philosophiae desideratae and the Liber Principiorum Medicinae). It is also one of the most important alchemical treatises of the fourteenth century, since it is - together with the Rosarius attributed to Arnald of Villanova - one of the first to develop the idea of the elixir as the agent of general perfection of matter. Alchemy is seen therefore as having a threefold purpose, as 'ars transmutatoria, medica, lapidifica'. The complete text is formed by I.61, 61d, 61e, 61c, generally followed by the Cantilena (I.7), to which the colophon of the Testamentum explicitly refers. Items I.61a, 61b, 61f and 61g are parts of the main text. MS Oxford, CCC, 244 contains the text both in Catalan and in Latin (a bilingual edition of the text, prepared by Michela Pereira and Barbara Spaggiari, is currently under press for 'Edizioni del Galluzzo', Firenze). Other early versions (XIV-XVth c.) in French and Anglonorman languages are Paris, BN, franç 2019 and Glasgow, UL, Hamilton 26.
