Alchemy and the Qur'an - Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025
"For my master's thesis, i decided to specialize in alchemical symbolism, tracing it through the work of modern american poets and mystics, but the deeper i went, the more i realized that i had to return to the (often unmentioned) source texts—particularly texts written in arabic. As i dug through manuscripts and compared translations, something became clear: many european alchemical writings—especially popular translations of the emerald tablet—were riddled with misreadings, mistranslations, and erasures, and the arabic originals told a vastly different story."
