    by Nicolas Flamel ...
    This text is probably a late invention but it is nevertheless interesting for that. I cannot locate a manuscript of the 'Testament', though it was mentioned in Borel's bibliography of alchemy.

It protests too much its authenticity, and gives an unlikely story about how it survived from Flamel's ... Read more
