Alchemical Symbolism in the VMS

[Barbrey]

I first read Ortalanus or Hortulanus in “Roger Bacon’s” The Mirror of Alchemy, which I found on Project Gutenberg, well before I got turned onto Rupescissa by Leah DeVun. He gives a fairly comprehensive, though still vague, explanation of why The Emerald Tablet is a hidden treatise on alchemy; as far as I know he was the first to do it, or at least do it in so much detail about alchemical processes. In another part he goes into detail about “argent vivo”. I didn’t understand much of it then; it’s rather amazing I understand so much of it now! The paths we tread as VMS researchers!

Problem: I want to quote him but when I copy and paste, the text comes out unreadably tiny. Do you know how I fix this?
