Libellus de Alchimia [Alchemy].
Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1958. First Edition. Hardcover. Translated from the Borgnet Latin. "The Libellus de Alchimia, from which the following selections are taken, is as likely to be authentic as any of the alchemical attributions and provides an excellent overview of the art in the early medieval period. It is also remarkable for its avoidance of the obscure rhetoric that plagues so much medieval and early modern alchemical writing."--Cambridge University Press.

Author of Practical Alchemy: Guide to the Great Work, The Emerald Tablet, a series of Alchemical ‘Zines, Alchemical Meditations, Alchemy: The Poetry of Matter and most recently On Alchemy: Essential Practices and Making Art as Alchemy. He has presented seminars and workshops around the world on various aspects of the alchemy.
