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."

Book Description
The Turba Philosophorum (Or, Assembly of the Sages), also called: Book of Truth in the Art and the Third Pythagorical Synod, was edited and translated from Guglielmo Gratarolo's Latin edition by American-born British poet, mystic, occultist, and esotericist Arthur Edward Waite, and published in English in 1896.The Turba Philosophorum is estimated to have been written around 900 A.D., by an unknown author, and attempted to translate Greek alchemy into Arabic, and adapt its methods towards the Islamic sciences. The work consists of a discussion between nine philosophers: Anaximander, Anaximenes, Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Archelaus, Leucippus, Ecphantus, Pythagoras and Xenophanes. They discuss matter, its behaviour, and how this relates to cosmology.

Book Description
Alchemy is thought to have originated over 2000 years ago in Hellenic Egypt, the result of three converging streams: Greek philosophy, Egyptian technology and the mysticism of Middle Eastern religions. Its heyday was from about 800 A.D. to the middle of the seventeenth century, and its practitioners ranged from kings, popes, and emperors to minor clergy, parish clerks, smiths, dyers, and tinkers. Even such accomplished men as Roger Bacon, Thomas Aquinas, Sir Thomas Browne and Isaac Newton took an interest in alchemical matters. In its search for the "Philosopher's Stone" that would transmute base metals into silver and gold, alchemy took on many philosophical, religious and mystical overtones. These and many other facets of alchemy are explored with enormous insight and erudition in this classic work. E. J. Holmyard, a noted scholar in the field, begins with the alchemists of ancient Greece and China and goes on to discuss alchemical apparatus, Islamic and early Western alchemy; signs, symbols, and secret terms; Paracelsus; English, Scottish and French alchemists; Helvetius, Price, and Semler, and much more. Ranging over two millennia of alchemical history, Mr. Holmyard shows how, like astrology and witchcraft, alchemy was an integral part of the pre-scientific moral order, arousing the cupidity of princes, the blind fear of mobs and the intellectual curiosity of learned men. Eventually, however, with the advent and ascension of the scientific method, the hopes and ideas of the alchemists faded to the status of "pseudo-science." That transformation, as well as alchemy's undeniable role as a precursor of modern chemistry, are brilliantly illuminated in this book. Students of alchemy, chemistry, the history of science, and the occult, plus anyone interested in the origin and evolution of one of mankind's most enduring and influential myths, will want to have a copy of this masterly study.

Nintzel. Contained therein, are letters between Gualdus and Baron von Reusenstein. The latter refers to Gualdus as an Adept. Dr. Sigismund Bacstrom held von Reusenstein in very high regard.

Book Description
This collection of essays delineates the history of the rather disparate intellectual tradition usually labeled as "Platonic" or "Neoplatonic". In chronological order, the book covers the most eminent philosophic schools of thought within that tradition. The most important terms of the Platonic tradition are studied together with a discussion of their semantic implications, the philosophical and theological claims associated with the terms, the sources that furnish the terms, and the intellectual traditions aligned with or opposed to them. The contributors thereby provide a vivid intellectual map of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Contributions are written in English or German.
