Retorts and Balloons, Distillation, 1512

Various retorts and balloons used in distillation processes to receive separated and/or purified materials. On the left from top to bottom, a pelican, a retort with two arms; a double ampulla; an alembic, a receiver with two bulbs; and a crucibulum. On the right, a cucurbita, with a closed alembic; a pelican with tubes; an aquila (eagle), a double circulating vessel; and a tritorium funnel. Brunschwig's Liber de arte distillandi simplicia et composita (Little Book of Distillation) was one of the earliest books ever written concerning the subjects of chemistry and pharmacology. Printed in Strasbourg in 1512, it is a practical manual on chemical, alchemical, and distillation devices and techniques used to manufacture drug therapies. It includes instructions on how to distill aqua vitae, potable gold, artificial and natural balsams and how to use distillates to treat illnesses in surgical cases. The last of the 16th century herbals, this book is widely regarded to be an important link between the Middle Ages and modern times. Hieronymus Brunschwig (1450 - 1512), was a German physician, surgeon, chemist, and pharmacologist. He was notable for his early work on chemical techniques, as well as his methods of treatment of gunshot wounds. He died in 1512 at the age of 61 or 62.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Varias retortas y balones utilizados en procesos de destilación para recibir materiales separados y/o purificados. A la izquierda de arriba abajo, un pelícano, una réplica de dos brazos; una ampolla doble; un alambique, un receptor con dos bombillas; y un crucibulum. A la derecha, una cucurbita, con alambique cerrado; un pelícano con tubos; un aquila (águila), un vaso de doble circulación; y un embudo de tritorio. El Liber de arte destilandi simplicia et composita (Pequeño libro de la destilación) de Brunschwig fue uno de los primeros libros jamás escritos sobre temas de química y farmacología. Impreso en Estrasburgo en 1512, es un manual práctico sobre dispositivos y técnicas químicas, alquímicas y de destilación utilizadas para fabricar terapias farmacológicas. Incluye instrucciones sobre cómo destilar aqua vitae, oro potable, bálsamos artificiales y naturales y cómo usar los destilados para tratar enfermedades en casos quirúrgicos. El último de los herbarios del siglo XVI, este libro es ampliamente considerado como un vínculo importante entre la Edad Media y los tiempos modernos. Hieronymus Brunschwig (1450 - 1512), fue un médico, cirujano, químico y farmacólogo alemán. Se destacó por sus primeros trabajos sobre técnicas químicas, así como por sus métodos de tratamiento de heridas de bala. Murió en 1512 a la edad de 61 o 62 años.
