This is Wikipedia's article on Liber de arte distillandi de simplicibus, the early printed distillation manual, maintained through Wikipedia's ordinary community editing process rather than a fixed editorial board. Its strength is that Wikipedia articles on a documented historical printed work are generally reliable for standard, uncontroversial facts, publication date, printer and basic content description, checked and corrected by many editors over time. Its limit is structural rather than specific to this article, it is a perpetually community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication, so it is the right source for basic bibliographic facts about the work but not for a contested or specialist claim about its place in the history of alchemy or pharmacy, which needs the history of science literature on early printed distillation manuals rather than this encyclopedia entry.
