Coelum philosophorum, seu secreta naturae
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly and library catalogs (including local catalogs, Open Library, Internet Archive, and OpenAlex) yielded no evidence of an English translation of Philip Ulstad's 'Coelum philosophorum' (The Heaven of the Philosophers). The only translation found in the catalogs was a Spanish edition from 2003. Given the work's significance in alchemy, the absence of any English translation in these comprehensive databases strongly supports the conclusion that this is a first English translation.
