Secreta Secretorum is a book that contains an alchemical translation of the second epistle that King Alexander sent to his master Aristotle. The book was written by Elias Ashmole, who was a renowned alchemist and scholar of the 17th century. The text is a fascinating glimpse into the world of alchemy, as it explores the secrets of transmutation and the philosopher's stone. The book contains a wealth of information on the principles of alchemy, including the four elements, the seven planets, and the three principles of sulfur, mercury, and salt. It also includes practical instructions on how to create various alchemical substances, as well as a detailed description of the alchemical laboratory. Throughout the book, Ashmole draws on his extensive knowledge of the ancient Greek and Arabic alchemical texts, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of alchemy.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Theatrum Chemicum Brittannicum, by Elias Ashmole.
