Baro or Baru Urbigerus was a seventeenth-century writer on alchemy.[1] He is known for his Aphorismi Urbigerani (1690)[2] This collection of 100 aphorisms claims to set out completely the theory of the alchemical work, the preparation of the Philosopher's Stone. A shorter collection of 31 aphorisms, contained in it, is known as the Circulatum Minus Urbigeranum.[3]
