Towards a Context for Ibn Umayl - Paul Ferguson - 02-13-2025
Towards a Context for Ibn Umayl, Known to Chaucer as the Alchemist ‘Senior’ by Peter Star
"Ibn Umayl’s position in alchemy accords with Hermetic doctrines, and may have developed as a traditionalist reaction to developments in alchemy around the time of Jabir ibn Hayyan. The paper offers an overview of the influence Ibn Umayl on western literature, beginning with a quotation from The Canterbury Tales which shows knowledge of Ibn Umayl."
