"The Treasure of Alexander (Kitāb ḏaḫīrat al-Iskandar) is a compilation of technical materials, collected from widely different sources. It is arranged into ten sections,
the contents of which range from alchemy to the engraving of astrological talismans and the useful properties of animals."

"The frame tale attached to The Treasure of Alexander (Ḏaḫīrat al-Iskandar) is a complex narrative that glues together an anthology of technical texts in ten chapters. Its alchemical section contains, among other things, instructions for preparing four different ‘sharp waters’, characterized by an increasing degree of intensity."
