Perhaps the author's most important alchemical work, and according to Prof. E. v. Meyer, one of the few genuine 

 ones of the many works attributed to him. 



Raymond Lull's unfortunate reputation as an alchemist has unhappily marred or obscured what should have been 

 his true fame as a natural philosopher, and his glory, almost unique in the later Middle Ages, as a Christian missionary. 

 As the former he may be considered as a forerunner of Francis Bacon, while his greatest work, the Ars Generalis sive 

 Magna, was afterwards developed by Giordano Bruno. As the latter he shone with a zeal and bravery which few have 

 surpassed before or since, and the tortures he underwent on his preaching journeys to the Muslims of Tunis and Algeria 

 . were only ended by his death by stoning at Bougie in the year 1315 a Mediaeval union of science and faith glorified by a 

 pathetic heroism whose memory has long been let to fade away.

'After various delays and apprehensions, Lunardi, having made his will, ascended from the Hon. Artillery Co.'s ground

 and was filled with hydrogen under the direction of Dr. George Fordyce. He sailed over London at a great height, and 

 descended near Ware The attempt excited great interest among all classes. . . . The king viewed the balloon through 

 a telescope from the Queen's presence chamber at St. James's. Several descriptions were printed, the best of which is 

 that written by Lunardi himself '.D. N. B.
