Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of alchemy, a precursor to modern chemistry that sought to transform lead into gold, create the elixir of life, and unlock the secrets of nature. In the 16th and 17th centuries, alchemists made significant contributions to medicine, paving the way for modern pharmacology. Paracelsus and his followers revolutionized the field with their groundbreaking theories on disease, challenging traditional Galenic medicine. However, much of their work remains shrouded in obscurity, their writings often employing enigmatic and symbolic language. To address this, the author decodes Paracelsian alchemy, translating its enigmatic lexicon and revealing its fundamental principles. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the history, practices, and theories of alchemy, offering an accessible and engaging account of a pivotal era in the development of science and medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Reprint. Hardcover. Andreas Libavius (born c. 1540, Halle [Germany]died July 25, 1616, Coburg) was a German chemist, physician, and alchemist who made important chemical discoveries but is most noted as the author of the first modern chemistry textbook. Of his numerous works, all of which were noted for clear, unambiguous writing, the most important was Alchymia (1606; "Alchemy"), a work that established the tradition for 17th-century French chemistry textbooks. Although he was a firm believer in the transmutation of base metals into gold, Libavius was renowned for his vitriolic attacks against the mysticism and secretiveness of his fellow alchemists. Libavius pioneered in the analytic approach to chemistry. Among his discoveries were methods for the preparation of ammonium sulfate, antimony sulfide, hydrochloric acid, and tin tetrachloride. From the personal library collection of Brian Cotnoir, alchemist, artist and award-winning filmmaker. Author of Practical Alchemy: Guide to the Great Work, The Emerald Tablet, a series of Alchemical 'Zines, Alchemical Meditations, Alchemy: The Poetry of Matter and most recently On Alchemy: Essential Practices and Making Art as Alchemy. He has presented seminars and workshops around the world on various aspects of the alchemy. Khepri Press was started in 2014 as a place to organize and distribute his work. It is a very small press dedicated to alchemical book arts. Some of this work is publishable and others may exist only in manuscript or object form alchemical results or talismans. Mildly shaken, light shelfwear, and spotting, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Large 8vo. xxxviii, 564pp, 135pp. Illus. (b/w. Decorated paper boards. Former owner library stamp. In German.

3 parts in 1 volume. Second enlarged edition of the first systematic chemistry textbook, richly illustrated with nearly 200 woodcut illustrations. It was written by Andreas Libavius (ca. 1555-1616), one of the founders of chemical analysis, and is his chief work. As the first edition was not illustrated, the second edition specifically is considered "the greatest and most beautiful of all books on chemistry in the seventeenth century" (DSB). Copies of it rarely appear on the market.In his writings, Libavius sought to separate out the occult and mystical aspects of alchemy and reclaim it as a proper scientific discipline in its own right, but without rejecting alchemical processes such as the transmutation of metals. In the present work, he divides alchemy in two parts: encheria and chymica. The former is the knowledge of chemical procedures, and includes a description of vessels and furnaces, with numerous illustrations. The latter is the description of substances and their properties. Independent of these are two further divisions of alchemy, namely "ars probandi", the analysis of minerals, metals and mineral waters, and "theoretical alchemy", which concerns the philosophers' stone. The work also discusses alloys and transmutation, and includes recipes for remedies, oil, spirits, acids, distilled waters, alkalis, and salts.With the bookplate of the Prince of Liechtenstein mounted on the front pastedown, a contemporary ownership annotation ("Ex bibl Boom") in the head margin of the title page. The edges and corners of the boards are slightly scuffed, the front and back are slightly scratched, with some loss of material on the back board. The work is browned throughout, lacking the final blank leaf.

Andreas Libavius (c.1550-1616) was a Renaissance man who spent time as a professor at the University of Jena teaching history and poetry. He became a physician at the Gymnasium at Rothenburg and later founded the Gymnasium at Coburg. He is best known for his work as an alchemist above all else. He believed that his studies in alchemy would help further advancements in the medical field. He accepted the Paracelsian principle of using occult properties to explain phenomena with no apparent cause but rejected the conclusion that a thing possessing must have an astral connection to the divine. He wrote more than 40 works in the field of logic, theology, physics, medicine, chemistry, pharmacy and poetry in the span of 25 years (1591-1616). His studies in alchemy led to many new discoveries in chemistry including how to prepare a number of chemicals like hydrochloric acid, ammonium sulfate and tin chloride. He proposed the development of a series of laboratories, called chemical houses, to make alchemy a safer practice. He was a staunch believe in chrysopeia, or the ability to transmute a metal base into gold. An incredibly scarce and unusual text on the nature of metals by Alchemist Andreas Libavius. The work Commentationum Metallicarum is a very rare additional volume to Libavius' main work Alchemia, published in the same year. RAREE1597TZBZ - 10/22 RAREE1597QZBZ - 01/25 - HKREV377.

3 volumes. First edition of a, mostly polemical, follow-up to the "unusually clear and highly systematic" (DSB) standard work on alchemy and early chemistry, Alchymia (1597), by the well-known German chemist Andreas Libavius (1540-1616). The present work, known as the Syntagmatis, consists of three separately published volumes (volume 1 and 2 second issue), each with a different title. In the first two volumes Libavius elaborates on his experiments in chemistry (illustrated with many woodcut illustrations of various sorts of glassware, vessels and other devices), followed by comments on the writings of Palmarius, Croll, Quercetanus (Duchesne) and many others. In the third volume, the appendix, he mentions controversies with Paracelsus, the Rosecrucians, Henning Scheunemann and Nicolas Guibert.Browned throughout and some small imperfections; boards slightly bowed.
