Synopsis

This book presents the ideas of some famous early medieval alchemists such as Zosimos of Panopolis, a third-century Greek alchemist. The introduction to this seminal work begins with an overview of some of the key precepts of alchemy originating in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The author then delves into the Hellenistic period, with its focus on the transformation of base metals into gold, to the rise of alchemy in medieval Europe. The collected sources included in the book provide a valuable insight into the development of alchemical thought through the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages and the origins of the quest for the fabled philosopher's stone.
