About This Book

A compendium of biographical sketches of historical alchemists accompanied by analytical essays on the principles and practice of the magnum opus, a discussion of spiritual or psychal chemistry, and a critical catalogue of hermetic literature. The author revises and supplements earlier compilations, compresses archaic passages, and offers a concise physical theory and practical outline for readers new to alchemy. The volume includes textual emendations, bibliographical notes, and an expanded alphabetical bibliography of alchemical and hermetic writings, alongside accounts of individual adepts and selected treatises that illuminate the philosophical and operative traditions of the art.
