Trismosin, Salomon. Splendor solis (Personal Name)

García Avilés, Alejandro. Splendor solis, 2009: p. 155 (the text of the Splendor solis has been attributed to Salomon Trismosin) p. 157 (figure of legend; biographical particulars in the Aureum vellus, a compendium that included Splendor solis) p. 175 (text of Splendor solis appears to have been written down around 1520, drawing heavily for its content on Aurora consurgens; in Aureum vellus, oder, Guldin Schatz und Kunstkammer, a compendium published in 1598 near Lake Constance, Salomon Trismosin is credited as the editor and translator of the entire compilation) p. 176 (no previous manuscript of the Aureum vellus had linked Salomon Trismosin to the work; the name itself also strongly suggests that we are dealing with a fictional character; the Splendor solis is now generally catalogued as an anonymous work; occasionally the "pseudo-Salomon Trismosin" is given as the author, or "pseudo-Trismosin"; an alternative tradition identifies the Bavarian theologian Ulrich Poysel as the author; we know that Poysel practiced alchemy as a member of the circle around Duke Albert of Bavaria in the 1560s, and he wrote a commentary on the Splendor solis)
