Alchemy Symbols

I had a question from @ssmhhh about an alchemy symbol she found. I couldn't find anything identical, but I thought it might be a good idea to post the comprehensive list from a 16th century manuscript that Stanislas Klossowski de Rola reproduces at the end of his book ALCHEMY (1973).

In order, the author provides the Latin word, the German word in archaic German script, the alchemy term, and the common symbols. So for example, the first entry, Gold:

Aurum Goldt Sol, followed by 3 symbols

The second entry is Silver:

Argentum Silber Luna, followed by 9 symbols

The monk/scribe got lazy as he went on and stopped providing translations.
