Description
Excerpt from The Turba Philosophorum or Assembly of the Sages: Called Also the Book of Truth in the Art and the Third Pythagorical Synod; An Ancient Alchemical Treatise Translated From the Latin, the Chief Reading of the Shorter Codex, Parallels From the Greek Alchemists, and Explanations of Obscure Terms
It may be added that the great collections of Alchemy, such as the Theatrum Chemicum and Mangetus, contain colloquies, oommen taries, and enigmas which pretend to elucidate the mysteries of The Turba Philosophorum. While they are of a considerably later date, they at the same time belong to the early period of Latin Alchemy. It may be added also that the editor has collected a consider able amount of material concerning this curious work, which the limits of the present volume preclude him from utilising.
