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

The work 'Aureum Vellus' (The Golden Fleece) by Salomon Trissmosin is a 1598 alchemical compendium. While its most famous component, 'Splendor Solis', has been translated into English multiple times (e.g., by Adam McLean and others), the complete compendium, which includes various other tracts by different authors, has never been translated into English as a single, comprehensive volume. Therefore, this is a first complete translation.
