Alchemy was an influential philosophical and protoscientific tradition practiced throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, a forerunner to the modern physical sciences. The author of this book presents a detailed account of the essential ideas in alchemy, including the role of sulfur and quicksilver, the composition of metals, and methods for purification. Beyond its historical significance, this book offers valuable insights into the development of scientific thought and the origins of modern chemistry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

4to (169 x 238 mm). Arabic manuscript on paper. 25 pp. on 13 numbered ff. 17 lines of black naskh, occasional words picked out in red, on French laid paper, watermarked PB with three crescents, polished in the oriental style. Title set within rough double rules. Bound in contemporary full dark morocco. Undocumented work on chemistry and alchemy, highly important for being expressly attributed to Jabir ibn Hayyan, the elusive father of Arabic chemistry. - The manuscript's title reads, in full, "The orphan pearl in knowing the craft of precious chemistry, composed by the virtuous sage and complete teacher, the master of the men of this craft, Jabir ibn Hayyan al-Sufi, upon whom God may have mercy". The author states that he has written this book as a "brief and quick treatise" on the beneficial science of chemistry, divided into two Maqalahs (essays or treatises) of 12 chapters each. The first Maqalah is on the chemical "character" that combines the pillars of this science: making the "Great Red Water" (apparently an alchemical term); the recipe for making the special patina; managing the Large Door and its Crocus Martis (anhydrous ferrous sulphate, FeSO4); on burning with a "strong" fire; rotting and fermentation; washing and cleaning; soaking and cooking; filtration; distillation; escalation; solidification; and preservation. The second Maqalah discusses "shortened processes": the distillation of water and the "spirit" (here referring to the so-called "body" between oil and water or the air between fire and water); the extraction of liquid; the extraction of the spirit of absinthe; the extraction of the spirit of the so-called "qurd"; the extraction of the spirit from a tartaric drink; the extraction of the spirit from seeds and their water; the extraction of the water from the "aqawiyah" (as referenced in Ibn Sina's Qanun); the extraction of the spirit of Elderberry gum; the extraction of the spirit of the stag's horn; the extraction of the water and spirit of honey; the extraction of the spirit of minerals; and the weight of gems and precious stones. - Margins ruled in blind diagonally for glosses. The polished paper is of contemporary Western, almost certainly French origin, bearing the three crescent moons that the French paper ordinance of 1739 required for paper destined for export to the Levant, as well as the initials of the paper-maker's name, as legally required in France since 1688 (cf. Churchill, Watermarks in Paper [Amsterdam, 1935], pp. 57f.). A short edge tear to most leaves and occasional light brownstaining to margins; upper cover slightly scuffed and marked, otherwise in excellent condition. - For Jabir cf. GAL I, 241 (278).

8vo (182 x 125 mm). Latin manuscript on vellum. 64 unnumbered pp. (complete; collation: I-IV.8); catchwords survive. 29 lines, ruled space: 126 x 86 mm, rubrics, paraphs and initials in red. A few maniculae, some passages underlined by a later owner. Bound in modern vellum over pasteboards. A handsome and early collection of nine medieval alchemical texts, written at the height of the Italian Renaissance and deeply rooted in the Arab tradition. The manuscript opens with the "Mirror of the Secrets of Alchemy", attributed on its first page to the legendary Byzantine monk Morienus, who went to Alexandria to study with the Arabian scholar Adfar, whose favourite student he became. Subsequently settling in Jerusalem as a hermit, he devoted his life to the hermetic arts before learning that Khalid, the Sultan of Egypt, "was desirous to find someone who could interpret for him the writings of Hermes and of Adfar" (Ferguson). - The second text is Arnaldus de Villa Nova's "Liber Lumen Luminis", a work attributed to Abu Bakr al-Razi. The third tract contains the famous "On the Philosopher's Stone". The fourth text ("Liber duodecim aquarium"), which lists the characteristics and composition of twelve different solutions including aqua rubicunda (red ink), aqua penetrativa (the universal solvent), and aqua mollificativa (which softens all things), is again attributed to Rhazes. - This is followed by the "Liber trium verborum", the translation of an Arabic treatise by the alchemist Khalid ibn Yazid, son of the Umayyad caliph Yazid I. Khalid's alleged alchemical pursuits likely stem from a ninth-century Arabic legend, which also falsely attributed to him the first sponsorship of Greek philosophical and scientific translations into Arabic; a process which actually began under Caliph al-Mansur (754-775). - The volume concludes with Latin translations of Jabir ibn Hayyan's "Kitab al-Thalathin Kalima" (The Book of Thirty Words) and his "Kutub al-Sab'un" (The Book of Seventy), unifying a large part of his alchemical writings by addressing the hidden powers of mineral, vegetable, and animal substances, as well as their practical applications in medicine and various other pursuits. - Lower half of fol. 4 cut away with loss of 10 lines of text, minimal dampstaining to gutters, else in excellent condition. - (1) Circular blue ink ownership stamp on fol. 1 and stamp along the inside margin, now almost entirely illegible. The 1977 Sotheby's catalogue had this as "Di casa Minutoli-Tegrimi": this is Count Eugenio Minutoli-Tegrimi of Lucca, who sold his collection in 1871, Catalogo dei codici manoscritti posseduti dal nobile signore Conte Eugenio Minutoli Tegrimi. Reproductions of the stamp in Alexander and de la Mare, Italian Manuscripts of Major J. R. Abbey, p. 53; and a list of other Minutoli-Tegrimi manuscripts in England on p. 55, no. 2. - (2) Sotheby's, 13 July 1977, lot 53. - (3) Sion Segre Amar (1910-2003), who assembled a collection of over 300 manuscripts in the 1960s and 1970s, the Comites Latentes (or "hidden friends"), his MS 188: brown and yellow sticker on the back pastedown "SSA - Nasce a guisa di rampollo a pie' del vero il dubbio - 188". - (4) Sold as The property of the Comites Latentes Collection, Geneva at Sotheby's, 12 December 1998, lot 88. - I: Ferguson II, 109. - II: Wüstenfeld, Die Übersetzungen arabischer Werke in das Lat.

8vo (12 x 17 cm). 147, (1) pp. With woodcut printer's device, 3 stipple-engraved initials, and a woodcut on the last page. Contemporary limp vellum. First Latin edition of this alchemical work, first published in Venice in 1544 as "La Espositione di Geber philosopho". Written in the form of a dialogue, the first part contains a conversation between a certain Demogorgon and Geber (whom Demogorgon addresses as "most learned nephew of Mahomet") about the latter's works. In the second part Demogorgon interviews Raymond Lull about his "Lignum vitae" and the discovery of a remedy to prolong human life. Kopp suspects that the anonymous author Bracesco was a 16th century physician and alchemist from Orzinuovi near Brescia. - Binding a little rubbed, lacking ties. Interior somewhat browned and stained throughout, the first leaves more so. Curiously, the first 26 pages in particular (but also a few later pages) have been mutilated by an early owner, who obscured and excised particular words from the text (apparently mainly concerning the word "vitriolum"); these lacunae have been rebacked with paper and the missing text supplied by the hand of a later owner. Some worming to lower gutter of the first 16 leaves, with slight loss. With contemporary ink marginalia in Latin throughout. - Adams J 8. BM-STC French 238. Rosenthal 337. Brüning 247 (all s. v.

4to (165 x 213 mm). (20), 373 (but: 371), (5) pp. With 16 woodcut illustrations in the text. Contemporary full vellum with handwritten spine title. The rare first edition of this extremely important and early collection of alchemical writings, which unites several first printings of works previously circulated only as manuscripts. This is first edition to call Geber an "Arab", the first to use "Summa perfectionis magisterii" on the title-page, and also the first printing of the famous "Smaragdine Table" of Hermes Trismegistus. - "De Alchemia and the other works of the Geber corpus were of the greatest influence on Western chemistry, and whether they be translations or elaborations, they represent the amount of Arabic chemical knowledge made available to Latin reading people toward the end of the thirteenth century [.] they represent the best Latin knowledge on chemistry in that period" (Sarton). - The present collection, arranged by Chrysogonus Polydorus, contains four treatises by Geber: 1. Summa perfectionis; 2. Liber de investigatione perfectionis (the earliest description of the preparation of nitric acid and aqua regia); 3. Liber de inventione veritatis sive perfectionis; 4. Liber fornacum (a practical text on chemical operations). It also contains the following texts, of which at least four are printed for the first time: 5. Roger Bacon's Speculum Alchemiae (the original text from which the 1597 English "Mirror of Alchemy" edition was made); 6. Richard of Wendover's Correctorium Alchemiae; 7. Rosarius minor, de Alchemia, by an unknown author; 8. Khalid ibn Yazid's Liber Secretorum Alchemiae; 9. Hermes Trismegistus' Tabula Smaragdina; 10. Hortolanus' commentary on the Tabula. Illustrated with 16 fine woodcuts of alchemical apparatus and alchemists at work. - A complete copy in good condition showing light browning to paper, with wide margins containing extremely extensive early marginal annotations throughout. Stains to outer margin of last several leaves. A tear to the gutter of leaf c2 professionally repaired; old vellum repair to upper cover. A good copy. While the second edition of 1545, also very rare, has made a few appearances on the market, this first edition is extremely scarce. - VD 16, J 15. Ferguson I, 18 & 301. Sarton II, 1044.
