Book Description
" The Turba philosophorum or Peat of the Philosophers (in the sense of Assembly of Philosophers) is one of the first and most famous texts of medieval Western alchemy. There are two versions. A Latin of the thirteenth century, the Turba Philosphorum proper, and which is in fact the translation of an Arabic treatise of the tenth century. And one in French, called Turba Gallica, from the 15th century, a probable translation of an original in Castilian from the 13th century. It is a pseudepigraphic treatise presented as the report of an assembly of pre-Socratic Greek philosophers under the presidency of Pythagoras. Appended to the versions is another text, the Vision of Arislée or Vision d'Arisleus."

Excerpt from The Turba Philosophorum or Assembly of the Sages: Called Also the Book of Truth in the Art and the Third Pythagorical Synod; An Ancient Alchemical Treatise Translated From the Latin, the Chief Reading of the Shorter Codex, Parallets From the Greek Alchemists, and Explanations of Obscure Terms The Turba Philosophorum is indisputably the most ancient extant treatise on Alchemy in the Latin tongue, but it was not, so far as can be ascertained, originally written in Latin; the compiler or editor, for in many respects it can scarcely be regarded as an original composition, wrote either in Hebrew or Arabic; however, the work, not only at the present day, but seemingly during the six or seven centuries when it was quoted as an authority by all the alchemical adepts, has been familiar only in its Latin garb. It is not, of course, certain that the original is irretrievably lost, the Arabic and Syriac manuscripts treating of early chemistry are preserved in considerable numbers in the various libraries of Europe, and have only been imperfectly explored. Unfortunately, the present editor has neither the opportunity nor the qualifications for undertaking such a task. There are two codices or recensions of The Turba Philosophorum, which differ considerably from one another.

Book Description
The Turba Philosophorum is one of the greatest and most well regarded texts within all of alchemy. Written around 900AD, it was quickly accepted within the chemical lexicon of the age and proceeded to vastly influence most later works. It combines veiled and metaphoric dialogue with interjecting explanations thereof delivered in the form of conversation. The subject matter ranges from the meaning of alchemical terms, to the creation of Tyrian dye, to the refining of chemical compounds, to criticism of the vulgar, or, as the Turba terms it, the envious. It treats the subject of the philosophers' stone at great length.
