Alchemists through the Ages by Arthur Edward Waite is a comprehensive historical account of the development of alchemy from its origins in ancient Egypt to the early modern period. The book explores the philosophical and practical aspects of alchemy, including its connection to astrology, magic, and religion. Waite examines the major figures of alchemy, such as Hermes Trismegistus, Paracelsus, and Isaac Newton, as well as lesser-known alchemists and their contributions to the field. He also discusses the symbolism and imagery used in alchemical texts and the impact of alchemy on the development of modern science. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of alchemy and its influence on Western thought and culture.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.
