A tome that holds golden clues

A fascinating book, comprising a general introduction and overview, a collection of historically based stories of the lives and appearances of alchemists throughout western history that aims to demonstrate the existence of a knowledge outside of modern science's comprehension yet far older and more comprehensive, and concluding with an exploration of the alchemist's lengthy methods and reasons for transmuting base metals into gold. Throughout the book, if one has any understanding of esoteric thought, it is possible to find the truth.
