Alchemical metaphors in the Shudhūr al-dhahab - Paul Ferguson - 08-12-2025
Classical poetic motifs as alchemical metaphors in the Shudhūr al-dhahab and its commentaries
Richard Todd
"Traditionally prized as much for its poetic artistry as its didactic content, Ibn Arfaʿ Raʾs’s (fl. twelfth century) dīwān of alchemical verse, the Shudhūr al-dhahab (Shards of Gold), is one of the most important and influential works in the literary canon of Arabic alchemy."
