Baro Urbigerus

Baro or Baru Urbigerus was a seventeenth century writer on alchemy. [Also known as Baron Urbiger; it is speculated that he was English, and may have used Borghese also as a pseudonym.] He is known for his "Aphorismi Urbigerani" (1690) [ [http://www.alchemywebsite.com/urbigeri.html] . Important German edition "Besondere Chymische schrifften", Hamburg 1703. There is a 1986 edition as "One Hundred Alchemical Aphorisms and the Summary of Philosophy".] This collection of 100 aphorisms claims to set out completely the theory of the alchemical work, the preparation of the Philosopher's Stone. A shorter collection of 31 aphorisms, contained in it, is known as the "Circulatum Minus Urbigeranum". [ [http://www.levity.com/alchemy/circulat.html] . Illustrated by Frater Albertus; this book is available in modern translation under the title "The Philosophical Elixir of Vegetables".]
