Note 821 — Chapter XLVIII
Reading edition
Liège 77, 14th century; printed by Rose (1875) pp. 349-82.
Montpellier 277, 15th century, fol. 127-; printed by Rose (1875) pp. 384-97.
The following treatises, also ascribed to Aristotle, I have not examined: Sloane 2459, 15th century, fols. 9v-16, de proprietatibus herbarum et lapidum; Vienna 2301, 15th century, fols. 81-2, “Isti sunt lapides quorum virtutes misit Aristotiles in scriptis maximo imperatori Alexandro.” Perhaps the last may have reference to philosopher’s stones, like the similar treatise of Aristotle to Alexander noted above in our discussion of the pseudo-Aristotelian alchemical treatises.
