By Eirenaeus Philalethes

Book Overview

The Three Treatises Of Philalethes is a collection of three works by Eirenaeus Philalethes, a pseudonym used by an anonymous 17th-century alchemist. The first work, The Metamorphosis Of Metals, explores the transformation of base metals into noble metals, such as gold and silver, through the use of alchemical processes. The second work, The Celestial Ruby, delves into the spiritual aspects of alchemy and the attainment of enlightenment. The third work, The Fountain Of Chemical Truth, discusses the fundamental principles of alchemy and the importance of experimentation and observation in the pursuit of knowledge. Written in a poetic and mystical style, The Three Treatises Of Philalethes offers a unique insight into the world of alchemy and its philosophical and spiritual underpinnings.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Hermetic Museum Restored, by Eirenaeus Philalethes.
