First edition, offprint issue, in which Stapleton argued that the establishment of a chemical classification system by the ninth-century Persian alchemist Al-Razi marked the birth of scientific chemistry. It also includes Stapleton's hypothesis that the alembic was derived from the mihjamah, a type of cupping glass.
