Abstract

The massive presence of alchemical diagrams in the Testamentum of Pseudo Ramon Llull makes it possible to analyse in a pertinent way the development of a diagrammatic thought aimed at the teaching of alchemical science. The analysis of the key figures of a manuscript kept at the Kantonsbibliothek Vadiana in St Gall allows not only to understand the general functioning of the alchemical figures, but also to underline the methodological changes due to the passage from the manuscript to the printed book.
