Alchemical Symbolism in the VMS

[bi3mw]

In fact, they are considered not actual because of their late date, therefore I searched for an earlier example.

You are right, the tradition of the numerous works of the 17th century is difficult to trace. It seems that there is a gap to the earlier alchemical works (in Europe). It is not possible to explain it with the invention of the printing press, because this was of course much earlier.
I personally believe that there is a tradition, because nothing is created in "a vacuum".
The idea that the VMS on some folios or sections takes up alchemical themes that appear again in much later works I therefore consider quite acceptable. So there would have to be common templates.
