Interesting names. I remember having seen a very
similar list many years ago, also coming from an 
alchemical MS.
If it is not something that ended up in the
archives, I doubt that I can still find it back.
I wonder if it is from 'De Alchymia', which is
kept in Leiden. I did not see the MS, but read 
about it in a book or on the Web. Sorry my memory
isn't better than this, because it would be
interesting to see if the names are the same,
where they might come from, or if there is any
tradition of them.

Cheers, Rene
