Three Famous Alchemists by Arthur Edward Waite is a book that explores the lives and works of three prominent figures in the field of alchemy: Paracelsus, Roger Bacon, and John Dee. The author provides a comprehensive overview of their philosophies, practices, and contributions to the development of alchemy as a science. The book delves into their beliefs about the nature of matter, the transmutation of metals, and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Waite also examines the historical context in which these alchemists lived, including the political and religious factors that influenced their work. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of alchemy and its impact on the development of modern science and philosophy.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.
