<br />
By Alinda van Ackooy<br />
<br />
"Due to the richness of its illustrations, the details of the engravings in the Cabala are often discussed in works on the symbolism of alchemical emblems. This thesis aims at presenting evidence that the Cabala is not to be interpreted as a psychological, spiritual or Christological work, but as a practical guideline for the alchemical transmutation, particularly in relation to Paracelsus' The Treasure of Treasures for Alchemists."<br />

The manuscript contains a total of around 180 alchemical recipes by Samuel Richter, a theorist and practitioner of great significance to the history of alchemy in the 18th century. In addition to medicinal recipes and instructions for transforming base metals into precious ones, the collection also contains some bizarre prescriptions that amaze modern readers. For instance, under the heading ‘Making teeth fall out without pain’, Richter recommends extracting an oil from green tree frogs and proceeding as follows: “Apply this oil to the teeth, and they will fall out; but you must take care that it does not come into contact with a healthy tooth, otherwise those too would come loose.”"<br />

			<description><![CDATA["E. H., also known as eine jungfer ("a young maiden"), was the pseudonymous author of a 1574 alchemical text. Her treatise describes the properties of gold, and includes instructions for processing the metal. It also includes an interpretation of the cryptic Tabula Smaragdina.<br />
In 1702, a German translation of the text was combined with another alchemical tract and a catalog of 17th-century Kabbalistic books and published in Hamburg by Gottfried Liebezeit as Ein ausführlicher Tractat von Philosophischen Werck des Steins der Weisen, durch eine Jungfer E. H. genannt anno 1574 geschrieben. Samt einer gründlichen Untersuchung... der Art und Eigenschafft des Goldes...dabey angefüget: ein Catalogus Librorum Kabalisticorum.Liebezeit did not know the identity of E. H., but believed she had written the original version in French. In 2026, German artist Anselm Kiefer included a painting of E. H. in his collection, The Women Alchemists, which was displayed in Milan's Sala delle Cariatidi as part of the cultural showcase of the 2026 Winter Olympics." (Wikipedia)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA["E. H., also known as eine jungfer ("a young maiden"), was the pseudonymous author of a 1574 alchemical text. Her treatise describes the properties of gold, and includes instructions for processing the metal. It also includes an interpretation of the cryptic Tabula Smaragdina.<br />
In 1702, a German translation of the text was combined with another alchemical tract and a catalog of 17th-century Kabbalistic books and published in Hamburg by Gottfried Liebezeit as Ein ausführlicher Tractat von Philosophischen Werck des Steins der Weisen, durch eine Jungfer E. H. genannt anno 1574 geschrieben. Samt einer gründlichen Untersuchung... der Art und Eigenschafft des Goldes...dabey angefüget: ein Catalogus Librorum Kabalisticorum.Liebezeit did not know the identity of E. H., but believed she had written the original version in French. In 2026, German artist Anselm Kiefer included a painting of E. H. in his collection, The Women Alchemists, which was displayed in Milan's Sala delle Cariatidi as part of the cultural showcase of the 2026 Winter Olympics." (Wikipedia)<br />
