Show moreFirst edition of a miscellaneous work on Alchemy which gathers some works of different authors, being Gebri, Jābir ibn Ḥayyān, considered the father of the Arab chemistry, the author who opens the volume which includes parts of four of his works. His treatises are followed by a short one, Speculum Alchemiae, traditionally credited to Roger Bacon, on the origin and composition of metals; a work by Richardus Anglicus; and another treatise of the Arab author Khalid ibn Yazid al-Umawi. The volume ends with the Tabula Smaragdina and its comment. The Tabula Smaragdina is a concise, compact and cryptic piece reputed to contain the secret of the prima materia and its transmutation, highly regarded by European alchemists as the foundation of their art. It is attributed to Hermes Trimegistus but, virtually all literature ascribed to this name is incorrectly so attributed. Although technically it is not the name of a real person in origin, it became regarded as such from early times. This text was a popular summary of alchemical principles, wherein the secrets of the philosopher's stone were thought to have been described. The last text of the whole edition is a commentary by the medieval alchemist Hortulanus, who composed his commentary before 1325. It is the second part of a work in which Hortulanus believes alcohol or quintessence is the hidden primordial heat in all material things.

He was also a physician, and his medical works together with his philosophical writings were profoundly influential in Christian Europe as well as in the Islamic world. Along with Ibn Tufzyl and lbn Zuhr, Ibn Rushd enjoyed the patronage of Prince AbuYaqub Yusuf while he ruled at Seville and was appointed Qadi there. He also lived in Marrakech and Cordoba, The Kulliyyat (Generalities) is Ibn Rushds major medical work and a century later it was translated to Latin in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries it was often reprinted, Abu Marwãn IBN ZUHR, known as AVENZOAR Abu Marwan (c.1092-1161) was descended horn a learned Arabian family who settled in Spain early in the tenth century. Although a generation older than lbn Rushd, they became friends-and studied certain subjects together. His bestknow medical treatise, Taysir fimudawat atwa l-tadbir (Practical manual of treatments and diets), was written at the invitation of Ibn Rushd to compliment his kulliyyat - It was translated latin and entered Europe with the Kulliyyät, both works appearing jointly in European incunable editions, AVENZOAR and AVERROES - Habes in hoc volumine, studiose icctor, giottosi illius senis Abhomcron Abinzoar librum Thcysir, qou nihil forsitan exactius in mciicina reperics ellaboratum, habes etiam Averrois librum Colliget eluens sabs laud-ase putt) curn Averrots esse predixerim.
