I went after the Consilia because that appeared to be the book referenced by the Wikipedia article's source. I was more interested in the supposed cipher - which doesn't seem to exist - than the distillation method.
On a side note, Taddeo's method actually seems to be more about the non inclusion of salts into the liquid, which allowed for a better extraction of alcohol, than any other production method. He is mainly famous for his medical application of this new liquid and the popularisation of the term aqua vitae then any actual distillation process (he even ended up in Dante)
