Author Nicholas Barnaud Delphinas Author Info Nicolas Barnaud[1] (1538 ?1604) was a French Protestant writer, physician and alchemist, from Crest, in Dauphiné, from which he took the name Delphinas (or Delphinus). He was a member of the Monarchomaques.nBarnaud is associated with a number of mysteries. His 1597 collection Commentariolum in Aenigmaticum quoddam Epitaphium,[2][3] on the Aelia Laelia Crispis puzzle inscription, included the alchemical Mass of Nicholas Melchior, still of disputed authorship.

The 1599 Triga chemica: de lapide philosophico tractatus tres[4] was the first publication of the Book of Lambspring, by the unknown Abraham Lambspring.nOther works are the collection Quadriga aurifera[5] of 1599, and De Occulta philosophia (1601).nBarnaud traveled widely around the turn of the seventeenth century. This has led to suggestions that he was setting up some sort of hermetic network, on the fabled lines of the Rosicrucians.
