The alkali's were often represented by a o superimposed upon a + (the acids were simply a +) and then surrounded by different marks depending upon the reactant. So the figure sort of makes sense, although it's missing the + sign.

Vonologia, send a PM with a description of the problem if you keep getting problems uploading images.

Afterthought - As I've often mentioned before, the majority of these alchemical symbols were codified during the Renaissance, at least a century after the vellum was prepared for the VM.

Well maybe I zoomed past it. I went through the entire document twice, looking for that symbol and couldn't find it. Maybe I went too fast but is there any chance you can remember approximately where it was? Beginning, middle, end?
