Alchemical Symbolism in the VMS

[R. Sale]

"Flores Secretorum de regimine quatuor naturarum" google trans to 'Secret Flowers of the government of the four natures'.  So, it is probably something related to the four elements, four humors, tradition in medieval ideology.

'Flores secretorum' is not really secret flowers. Better is "Flowers of secrets" - where 'flowers' might be interpreted as "selected information" regarding the secrets.

Edit: Too slow.
