# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Alchemical Symbols: Signs invented for atmosphere read as false to anyone who knows which substance each one names, and the work sinks to decoration.
# - Celestial Atlas: Drawing the myth figures so large that the star positions vanish leaves a plate working neither as diagram nor as ornament.
