The part in question 'I. Basilii Valentini, benedictini ordinis monachi, Germani, practica una cum 12. clavibus et appendice, ex germanico;' or 'Basil Valentine, a German monk of the Benedictine order, one study with the twelve keys and the appendix, [translated] from the German.' At the center of the picture is a bishop, right hand raised to bless the wedding of a King (left) and Queen (right). They stand under a dark cloud from which heavy rain is falling. Above the cloud forms a rainbow. To the left of the King is the Sun and on the right of the Queen is a crescent Moon. Below the sun is a swan or goose. On the left near the King is a cylindrical vessel is being heated on a fire. The top of the vessel is a double-faced head, from whose mouths come collecting flasks. The top of the head has flames for hair. To the right of the Queen stands an alchemist with a trident, pouring water from a flask into a water bath in which an alembic or retort is being heated atop a furnace. The fumes which are emitted condense and are collected in a flask below, which contains a layer of liquid. |
