Geber: Summa Perfectionis - Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2026
"Summa Perfectionis, or “The Sum of Perfection,” is widely regarded as the most influential alchemical treatise of the Latin Middle Ages. Attributed to the legendary Geber (Jābir ibn Ḥayyān)—an 8th-century polymath whose name became synonymous with practical alchemy—this work became the foundational blueprint for countless philosophers, mystics, and early scientists across Europe and the Islamic world. In this edition, drawn from a carefully corrected Vatican manuscript, the reader is invited into a world of fire and transformation, subtle vessels and sublime theory. With striking clarity, the text reveals the precise methods, materials, and spiritual orientations of the alchemical art as understood by its most revered master."
