Alchemical Symbolism in the VMS

[Barbrey]

Thank you @Nablator for the introduction of Guy de Montanor ( Guido di Montanor )

Guido de Montanor, in his Scala Philosophorum, which is a real stair of transmutations instead of the classic seven operations stairs, uses a more ancient list.
In his Bibliotheca Chemica, Ferguson is a little source of info on this author: “Guido de Montanor, or Montano, or Guido Magnus de Monte, but not Guido de Monte was a Frenchmen quoted by Ripley and quoting in his turn Roger Bacon. Hence he can be attributed to a period between those”.

Great resource. Did you read it?  Translation in a bit difficult, but this might actually be helpful as pertains to VMs.
