Supposedly one of the first distillation manuals of various medicinal waters was Von allen geprenten Wassern (or Von den ausgebrannten Wassern) by Austrian Michael Puff von Schrick circa 1450s but in many editions and incorporated into later Brunschweg etc. I can find images of it online but not a text form that I can try to at least run through Google translate. Wondering if anyone else has seen it in that form; I have failed repeatedly over the years.

Here’s a PDF

I’ve only ever seen originals or facsimile versions, set in blackletter/textura, which is damned hard to read. I transcribed a couple of pages, but that’s as far as I got. Between that and the super-useful and important little book by Michele Savonarola, which I’ve only seen in Latin or Italian, we could certainly use some translations.

Now I kind of wish my surname was Puff von Schrick.
