First Complete Translation

Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.

While Antonius Mizaldus's 'Memorabilium' was a primary source for Thomas Lupton's 'A Thousand Notable Things' (1579) and its alchemical appendices were translated by Matteo Martelli in 2014, the core text of 900 aphorisms has never received a complete, dedicated English translation. Lupton's work is a derivative compilation rather than a formal translation of the Latin original.
