  For sale: De secretis naturae
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-09-2025, 09:18 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

Second edition of this compilation (first edition was published in Strasbourg 1541), edited by Walther Ryff, and first edition published in Italy.

The first part is a treatise on the quintessence (pp. 1-107), being a Lullian version of the De consideratione quintae essentiae of Joannes de Rupescissa (first printed in Venice, 1514). Although spurious, this treatise had enormous influence on the development of alchemy and is regarded as one of the most authoritative texts on the quinta essentia. The second part comprises Albertus Magnus' De mineralibus, his principal work on mineralogy, metallurgy, and chemistry, dealing with stones, metals and "intermediates" which are neither stones nor metals, but have characteristics of both.

  Julius Evola: Introduction to Magic
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-08-2025, 08:54 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Some “cultivated” people will surely be taken aback by this simple Statement, in which we join the concept of alchemy with that of a “spiritual science.” Nowadays, they will say, we know very well what alchemy is: modern chemistry in its infantile and mythological state. Certainly it had its value in preparing the experimental method. It also arrived at a certain knowledge of chemistry, obtained fortuitously through all sorts of experiments made in pursuit of the chimera of “transmutation.”...Such, more or less, is the current opinion of alchemy: an opinion that flagrantly displays the progressivist mentality, which has no doubt that the light of true knowledge only began to shine today, with modern European civilization."

  Maria the Jewess & the Dawn of Chemistry
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-08-2025, 08:15 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"During the medieval era, Maria the Jewess was a pioneer in the field of alchemy. Her academic study and invention of essential lab equipment, technology, and theoretical innovations played a crucial role in shaping what would become the foundation of modern chemistry. She is also associated with the "Axiom of Maria," a philosophical principle in alchemy that emphasizes the unity of opposites and how all materials are “one” from a common ancestry."
