"In The Riddle of Alchemy, Kiritsis traces alchemy’s roots from ancient Egypt and Hellenistic Alexandria through medieval Europe and the Renaissance. He expertly reveals how alchemy functioned not only as a precursor to modern science but also as a spiritual philosophy where metallurgy, cosmology, medicine, and mysticism intertwined. Here, physical transformation symbolized inner development. Kiritsis goes beyond a simple historical account, unlocking the cryptic symbols and ideas of alchemy and connecting them to enduring psychological and philosophical themes."
