Description
Alchemists through the Ages is a comprehensive book written by Arthur Edward Waite, which explores the history and evolution of alchemy from ancient times to the modern era. The book delves into the origins of alchemy, its development in various cultures, and its transformation into modern chemistry. It also covers the lives and works of famous alchemists, such as Hermes Trismegistus, Paracelsus, and Isaac Newton, and their contributions to the field. The book provides an in-depth analysis of alchemical symbolism, philosophy, and techniques, including the transmutation of metals and the search for the philosopher's stone. It also explores the relationship between alchemy and other esoteric traditions, such as Kabbalah and Hermeticism. Alchemists through the Ages is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of science, philosophy, and spirituality.Lives of the Famous Alchemistical Philosophers from the year 850 to the close of the 18th century, together with a Study of the Principles and Practice of Alchemy, including a Bibliography of Alchemical and Hermetic Philosophy. Illustrated by a series of rare and unusual Portraits. This compact, well-researched book describes the theory and practice of Alchemy by letting the famous alchemists (over 50 of them) speak for themselves. Essays on the True Principles and Nature of the Magnum Opus, and on its Relation to Spiritual Chemistry and The Physical Theory and Practice of the Magnum Opus. Includes an Appendix, Index, and an Alphabetical Catalog of Works on Hermetic Philosophy and Alchemy. The real quest of the alchemists was self-transformation, the unfolding of their own higher-self, and in the process they created the modern Scientific Method.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
