Canseliet dared to publish his secret correspondence to a friend on the whistles emitted by his Egg. Atorène, in “Le Laboratoire Alchimique” 1981, analyzes the musical proportions of the Egg densities, comparing them to a musical organ. The graphs are my work, for a better understanding.

Before getting to the Egg’s Densities Variations, and Degrees of Fire, the Canseliet’s apprentice provides the reader unfamiliar with the mathematical laws of the proportions of the sound with the construction of notes, intervals, and scales, and Pythagoras, as well as Zarlino’s, range.

Brouaut’s Frontispiece, the Organ Pythagorean Proportions
Not only a diagram of the Great Opera but almost a compendium of the last cooking. And not only. The table by J. De Semlecque on Brouaut’s was long a musical conundrum. There are three authors to consult: Canseliet, Atorène, and Martianus Capella.
