Alchemiae Gebri Arabis philosophi solertissimi libri, cum reliquis, ut versa pagella indicabit [Latin]

By Jabir ibn Hayyan and Polydorus Chrysogonus

Alchemiae Gebri Arabis philosophi solertissimi libri, cum reliquis, ut versa pagella indicabit is a Latin edition of the alchemical writings attributed to Geber, the Latinized name of the 8th-century polymath Jabir ibn Hayyan. This edition, published in 1545, represents a significant moment in the transmission of Arabic scientific and philosophical knowledge to Europe. The text delves into the theoretical and practical aspects of alchemy, exploring the transmutation of metals, the elixir of life, and other core concepts of alchemical philosophy. It offers insights into the worldview of early alchemists and their attempts to understand and manipulate the natural world. This volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of science, alchemy, and the intellectual exchanges between the Arab world and Renaissance Europe.
