1742, Nicolas Lenglet Du Fresnoy, chapter XX, in Histoire de la Philosophie Hermétique, page 197:C’eſt pourquoi le Philoſophe a dit , prenez un chien de Coraſcene & une chienne d’Armenie, & ils vous feront un ſils de couleur cæleſte , parce que les natures par une prompte cuiſſon ſeront bien‐tôt changées en un boüillon ſemblabble à l’écume de la mer , ou à une nuée épaiſſe, qui ſerta teinte d’une couleur livide.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
