"Found in its original plain binding of parchment, this work was most likely compiled by a practitioner of alchemy and medicine. Containing a handwritten copy of Liber lucis by John of Rupescissa (Johannes de Rupescissa) which contains a recipe for the philosopher's stone.

"This manuscript is an important miscellany of practical and theoretical alchemical texts with a full-page drawing of alchemical instruments reflecting the activities of a fifteenth-century alchemist. The manuscript was written in Italy, probably Northern Italy, most likely in the third quarter of the fifteenth century, circa 1450-1475, based on the evidence of the script. Notably, at least part of the manuscript is a palimpsest (copied on previously used parchment, with the original script scraped and/or washed away). "

"I'm a mystic who paid for her life with her life. An alchemist who plowed under every bit of her treasure on the path to inner gold.
This is the way it often is for those who can't not go the way of soul.
There is fire and flood and ferment and rot. Incredible heights and insufferable depths. It is treacherous, and it is beautiful. And you may or may not survive. But if you do, you can rise and say...
I am what the fire left behind."
Down from the Mountain: On Being Human after Spiritual and Alchemical Initiation
"Down from the Mountain provides a shimmering template for returning to life and being human after undergoing the ruthless alchemical processes required to align with the core self."

"Former Frances Yates Fellow Sergei Zotov is a historian of science whose work focuses on Christian iconography and the visual cultures of alchemy and magic. In an exclusive case study blog from his forthcoming book on allegorical iconography in European alchemical manuscripts, he discusses the imagery of 'Le Véritable Dragon Rouge', a grimoire published around 1850 in several European languages."
