[775] Ashmole 1448, 15th century, pp. 200-202, de “altitudinibus, profundis, lateribusque” metallorum secundum Aristotelem (name in the margin). It opens, “Plumbum est in altitudine sua ar. nigrum.” It takes up in turn the _altitudo_ of each metal and then discusses the next quality in the same way. _Ibid._, pp. 239-44, opens, “Arestotilus, Cum studii, etc. Scias preterea quod propter longitudines”; at p. 241 it treats “de purificatione solis et lune” (_i.e._, gold and silver); at p. 243, “de separatione solis et lune.” It ends with a paragraph about the composition of a golden seal.
