From Miskatonic: Sendivogius, New Light of Alchemy - Paul Ferguson - 03-11-2026
Available for pre-order.
"In addition to the four treatises comprising the volume—these being Twelve Tracts on the Philosopher’s Stone, The Parable or Philosophical Riddle, The Dialogue with Mercury, and A Treatise on Sulphur—two more tracts are appended to the present edition. The first is the English translation of Operatie Elixiris Philosophici, originally written in Polish and Latin, most likely by the young Sendivogius. The text is important not only because it is the earliest known alchemical work in the Polish language, but especially for its unique form as a critical report from laboratory experiments in search of the Philosophical Elixir. The second Appendix is the first English translation of the famous Processus Universalis, in the expanded 1682 redaction of Johann Joachim Becher, entitled “The Process of Michael Sendivogius upon the Center of the Universe, or Central Salt.” It contains detailed instructions for carrying out the laboratory procedure in preparation of the Universal Menstruum and the Philosophers’ Stone. It appears plausible that it was based on notes made by witnesses of the operation performed by Sendivogius in Prague, and we rejoice in the opportunity to present it to the Reader in English for the very first time."
