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.

Main Heritage Shelves General PK629 .A58 1778 Book Item-ID: i19660200 BIB-ID: 1779918 Text in Persian and translation in Latin From the library of the great Königsberg Oriental scholar Peter van Bohlen (1796-1840) with his notes and underlinings in black and auburn ink throughout. His autogr. ownership on the title page is dated "Halle 1821", marking this as an early acquisition of scholarly literature by the former tailors apprentice, batman, ships scullion, waiter, and footboy after having graduated from the Hamburg Johanneum in 1821. Later in the collection of the Dresden mathematician and librarian Carl Kuschel (1814-99); his autogr. ownership on t. p.; his acquisition note on pastedown: "Hocce Bohlenii exemplar im meam migravit bibliothecam die 10mo Aprilis 1844 (constat 15 gr. arg.)". Subsequently in the collection of the Halle historian and orientalist Gustav Friedrich Hertzberg (1826-1907); his autogr. ownership on t. p. Sold by Harrassowitz to the Zurich printer and publisher Friedrich Paul David Bürkli (1818-96) in 1895, a year before his death (his autogr. ownership to t. p.; his bookplate on pastedown). Bürkli took an avid interest in the history and culture of the orient and amassed a vast library on the subject. His collection, numbering some 1500 titles, passed almost entirely to the Zurich Municipal Library (now in the Zurich Central Library). Show less
