Basilica chymica. De signaturis
Only antiquated translations exist. This is the first modern English translation.
The work 'Basilica Chymica' (including the 'Tractatus de Signaturis') was translated into English in the 17th century (e.g., the 1670 edition found in Open Library). However, there is no evidence of a modern scholarly English translation. Therefore, this is a 'first_modern_translation' case.
