Riassunto

""The Secret Book of Artephius"" is an anonymous text that delves into the world of alchemy and the pursuit of the philosopher's stone. The book is said to have been written by the alchemist Artephius, who lived in the 12th century. The text is divided into three parts, each of which explores different aspects of alchemy. The first part discusses the nature of the philosopher's stone and the various ways in which it can be created. The second part focuses on the preparation of the alchemist and the importance of spiritual and moral purity in the pursuit of the stone. The final part of the book provides practical instructions for the creation of the philosopher's stone, including the use of various chemicals and equipment. Throughout the text, the author emphasizes the importance of patience, perseverance, and a deep understanding of the natural world in the pursuit of alchemical knowledge. ""The Secret Book of Artephius"" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval alchemy and the quest for eternal life and spiritual enlightenment.Gather this with a spoon or feather dipping it in; and in doing so often times a day until nothing more arises; evaporate the water with a gentle heat, i.e., the superfluous humidity of the vinegre, and there will remain the quintessence, potestates or powers of gold in the form of a white oil incombustible. In this oil the philosophers have placed their greatest secrets; it is exceeding sweet, and of great virtue for easing the pains of wounds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
