Alchemical Symbolism in the VMS

[MarcoP]

It has been claimed that Zosimos' works were not rediscovered until the Renaissance. However, I have been unable to find any evidence to support this. In my opinion, it is just as possible that texts by Zosimos were already available in the late Middle Ages.

I don't think one can find evidence that a Greek author was not known in the Latin West, I cannot imagine what such evidence could be. One can maybe find an early Latin translation of his works, therefore proving the opposite thesis.
