The 'Theatrum chemicum' (1659) is a massive, multi-volume Latin compilation of alchemical treatises. My searches confirm that while Elias Ashmole published a 'Theatrum chemicum britannicum' in 1652, this is a distinct, English-language work focusing on English poets and philosophers, not a translation of the Latin 'Theatrum chemicum'. No evidence exists of a complete or partial English translation of the 1659 Latin 'Theatrum chemicum' compilation.
