It is not impossible, but I consider it rather unlikely.
Marci was a university student, at a time when Tepenec was in exile.
Tepenec did not give the book to Marci. Marci only got it when Barschius died.
Marci also clearly states that his teacher in (spagyrical) alchemy was Barschius.
However, he was already interested in alchemy (also the 'making gold' bit) much earlier.
