| | Nicholas Flamel's Own Words |
 | | This exposition by Nicholas Flamel was printed in French in 1612. |
 | | Whilst therefore, I Nicholas Flammmel, Notary, after the decease of my, parents, got my living in our art of writing, by making inventories, dressing accounts, and summing up the expenses of tutors and pupils, there fell into my hands, for the sum of two florins, a gilded book, very old and large. |
 | | It was not of paper or parchment, as other books be, but was only made of delicate rinds (as it seemed unto me) of tender young trees. |
