First Modern Translation
Only antiquated translations exist. This is the first modern English translation.
The Latin work 'Arca Thesauris Opulenta' (1660) was translated into English by Christopher Packe and included in the 1689 folio edition of 'The Works of the Highly Experienced and Famous Chymist, John Rudolph Glauber'. While this provides a complete English version of the text, it is an antiquated 17th-century translation, and no modern scholarly English translation was identified in the catalogs.
