The work 'Aureum Vellus, oder Güldin Schatz und Kunstkammer' (1599) is a large alchemical compendium. While the text 'Splendor Solis' (often attributed to Solomon Trismosin) is a well-known alchemical treatise that has been translated into English, the 1599 'Aureum Vellus' compendium as a whole has not been translated. My searches across multiple catalogs (Library of Congress, Internet Archive, OpenAlex, and others) yielded no evidence of a complete or partial English translation of this specific 1599 German compendium.
