"Several works of the Jābirean corpus have been translated into Latin. The present work was written in three parts, covering the properties of metals, alchemical techniques, and the properties of the planets. It was printed in 1531 by Johann Grüninger, a German printer and publisher working in Strasbourg. The work starts with an esoteric poem ("Est fons in limis cuius anguis latet in imis...") that forms the incipit for an alchemical work kept in the Bavarian State Library, Codex Latinus Monacensis 2848. (The latter manuscript is purportedly a Latin translation of a work on the philosopher's stone by the Persian alchemist Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Zakarīyā Rāzī.)"

"The paper refers to Bakhtin’s philosophy of the act and his theory of a fundamental split between two worlds: the domain of culture and life itself, which he describes as a “split between the content or sense of a given act/activity and the historical actuality of its being, the actual and once-occurrent experiencing of it”50. His theory is related to the realm beyond Bakhtin’s interests – to the research on the alchemists’ activities and their ideals. The aim of the paper is to answer the question whether the alchemists’ thought and efforts do correspond with the Bakhtin’s theory and may be perceived as referring to the unity of sense or meaning of an act/activity and the historical actuality of its being – ipso facto the unity of culture and life." - Anna Kłonkowska

"In ALCHEMICAL ESSAYS (Salamander & Sons, 2008), Dr. Ross Mack distills the quintessence of the alchemical art creating a Meta-Syn of philosophers for our time. It can be difficult in such an esoteric subject to transcend language barriers and satisfy both the novice and the accomplished practitioner. But he has done just that in this tastefully-illustrated, well-crafted volume, weaving a tapestry of depth and richness with subject matter elements and process-oriented guidelines. The qualitative Mercury, Sulphur and Salt presented herein make a luminous mixture."
