Description
English: Isaac Newton alchemical manuscript, page 1, from the library of the Science History Institute.

Isaac Newton left behind alchemical notes amounting to an estimated one million words written in his own hand. This page shows two steps (“periods”) in the manufacture of the philosophers’ stone that were drawn from a work by the obscure German alchemist Erasmus Rothmaler (“Roth Mallor” in Newton’s manuscript).

I. Alchemical recipes -- 2 stages of "Roth Mallors work" -- recipes for "a menstruum that will disolve gold" -- "a menstruum for resolving bodies like the Alkahest but not so potent"

Folio 1, the Newton autograph "Roth Mallor's Work" is Sotheby Lot 18(c) = Portsmouth Catalogue, section II, parcel 4, item 7.
