Note: From entry 44 the numbering system of
the workdiary becomes confused. The numbers assigned to the entries are from
this point too low by 10. Thus entry 44 was originally numbered 34. However
these numbers were corrected, and retrospectively made to conform to the proper
sequence by changing the first digit of the number. These corrections, though,
were only maintained for entries 44-76 (correct numbering). From entry 77
(which is numbered 67 in the manuscript) until the end of the workdiary the
correct numbering system is never again adopted and the numbers assigned in the
manuscript are too low by ten. For entries 67-76, of which there are two sets
(following the authorial numbering), the editors have assigned editorial
numbers (i.e. 67a) to distinguish the later, incorrectly numbered, entries from
the earlier, properly numbered, ones. From entry 77 we again adopt the original
authorial workdiary numbering, even though it is out by ten.

Entry: 71
Date: late 1660s
Note: Despite the reference to Anselmus
Boetius de Boodt in the margin, this quote probably does not come from his
Gemmarum et lapidum historia, which was
first published in 1609, well before the works of Zacutus Lusitanus, who is
also referred to in the text, were published. Indeed Boodt died at the same
time that Lusitanus was publishing in the 1630s. Most likely this extract comes
from some, as yet unidentified, work on gems written after the 1630s.

Note: This extract is most likely from the
same work as the following entry, which is quoted verbatim in Boyle's
Of Absolute Rest in Bodies (1669), where it
is described as coming from 'a little Book lately Published in his own language
by a Frenchman'. Thus the original work may be
Denombrement, facultez et origine des pierres
precieuses (1667). (see

Entry: 73b
Date: late 1660s
Note: The entire contents of the rectos of
fols. 86 and 87, were excluded from the sequence of numbered entries, which goes from
73 on fol. 85v to 74 on fol. 86v, and from 76 on fol. 86v to 77 on fol. 87v.
However, they are written in the same hand as the entries on the versos of the
leaves in question, and we have therefore included them here, assigning the
content of fol. 86 the entry number '73a' and that of fol. 87 '76b'. The entire page is crossed through and
enclosed in parentheses
Note: The entry and entry 76b mainly comprise
extracts from
Martin Ruland's
Lexicon Alchemiae
1612
particularly pp. 468, 328, 105, 80 and
148 (this entry), and p.952 (entry 76b).

Note: Fol. 88r is badly damaged by some sort

deciphered what we can, but our transcription of it must remain highly
doubtful. As the marginal reference to the original source is fairly clear,
though, it should be possible to go to the original to see what passage Boyle
intended to have transcribed.
