These three alchemical miniatures are believed to be from Das Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit (The Book of the Holy Trinity), based on the iconography depicted and their relation to the text. Das Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit is the first alchemical text in German produced in either Southern Germany or Austria.
