While searching for a book by Professor al-Hassan, I happened upon this Journal published in Syria, which I had not heard of before. The entry gave an abbreviated table of contents, many of which are on mathematics and astronomy, but there are some articles relevant to alchemy. It would be interesting to see a complete list of the articles.
