Three Famous Alchemists is a book written by Arthur Edward Waite that explores the lives and works of three prominent alchemists from history: Paracelsus, Roger Bacon, and Thomas Vaughan. The book delves into their philosophies, beliefs, and practices in the field of alchemy, which was a precursor to modern chemistry that sought to transform base metals into gold and find the elixir of life. Waite provides a detailed analysis of their writings, including their theories on the four elements, the philosopher's stone, and the transmutation of metals. He also examines their influence on the development of Western esotericism and the occult. Three Famous Alchemists is a comprehensive study of the lives and works of three important figures in the history of alchemy, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.Contents: Biographical sketches on Raymund Lully: A Problem of Personality; The Illuminated Doctor of Majorca; The Universal Science; The Hermetic Doctor; An Historical Research; The Science of Alchemy; The Mystical Doctor�������Cornelius Agrippa: The Agrippa of Legend; The Youthful Magician; �������The Occult Philosophy�������; Astrology and the Mystery of Numbers; Storm and Stress; Agrippa's Character; In the Depths; The Vanity of Arts and Sciences; Mysticism and the Reformation; Agrippa as Alchemist; Last Days; What Magic Owes to Agrippa�������and Theophrastus Paracelsus: Early Life and Travels; Wanderings and Death; As Above, So Below; Doctrine of Signatures; Necromancy; Origin of Diseases; Magic; Alchemy; Astrology; Comparison with Other Mystics; A Christian Occultist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
