Collectanea Chymica - Paul Ferguson - 08-08-2026

"The Extremely rare alchemical super manual called, Collectanea Chymica gathers ten separately composed treatises into a deliberate treasury of seventeenth-century chymical knowledge. Its subject is considerably wider than the Philosophers’ Stone alone. The collection examines universal dissolution, metallic generation, philosophical mercury, potable gold, sulphur medicines, experimental error, furnace regulation, material purification, famine relief, food preparation, preservation, and the moral obligations attached to powerful knowledge."
