Description
Deutsch: Die Gab Gottes, S. 247, aus: Pandora, das ist, Die edleste Gab Gottes, : oder Der werde unnd heilsamme Stein der Weysen, mit welchem die alten Philosophi, auch Theophrastus Paracelsus, die unvolkom[m]ene Metallen, durch gewalt des Fewrs verbessert: fampt allerlen schädliche und unheilsame Kranckheiten, innerlich und eusserlich haben vertrieben. Ein Guldener Schatz, welcher durch einen Liebhaber diser Kunst, von seinem Untergang errettet ist worden, unnd zu nutz allen Menschen, fürnem[m]lich den Liebhabern der Paracelsischen Artzney, erst jetz in Truck verfertiget. by Franciscus Epimetheus / Hieronymus Reusner, Getruckt zu Basel. : [s.n.], Anno 1582.
Alchemy grew out of the trade secrets of ancient metallurgists. Allegorical descriptions that required decoding by the practitioner had always been part of alchemical communication. Medieval alchemy in the West added visual imagery to that long tradition. In the medieval period alchemists developed sophisticated, powerful techniques to separate and purify metals. Chemical manipulation of precious metals was the most notable example of alchemy’s mastery and the most promising evidence for the possibility of transmutation.
