Ranging from the pre-Christian era to Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton at the end of the seventeenth century, this Reader covers a broad range of alchemical authors and works. Organized chronologically, it includes around thirty selections in authoritative but lightly-modernized versions. The selections will provide the reader with a basic introduction to the field and its interdisciplinary links with science and medicine, philosophy, religion, and literature and the arts.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"... a new and valuable source of how these complicated ideas were originally expressed." Seattle Weekly

"The ideas presented in Linden's introduction are thoughtfully represented by his slections of primary sources. The readings themsleves are each prefaced by biographical information and commentary on the authors and texts, and the extensive bibliography and reading lists offer direction for further research." Sixteenth Century Journal Aida Patient, University of Alberta

Book Description

An introduction to a wide range of alchemical authors and works.

    The Emerald Tablet is widely available, but the Kybalion is a marvel of erudition and mystery unveiled. In precise, clear terms the teachings of Thoth come to light. Supposedly, the Kybalion comes into the hands of those who are ready for the wisdom it contains. I highly recommend this slim volume.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners and as quick review
    Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2011

    This piece is a good compilation. I have yet to thoroughly study each passage, but I have covered many. Some pieces do not at first appear to fit in (and perhaps they don't- I could very well be crazy), but after pulling yourself back from a linear view it comes together nicely. It is true that many sections of this compilation can be found elsewhere if you look so I recomend it for anyone looking for the essence of concepts set down by past leaders in the field.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, Bad Delivery
    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    While the book is a great survey on alchemy, the USPS delivered it in the rain and the paper envelope completely soaked through, wetting the book. Books need to be protected in plastic to prevent such disasters.
