I was trying to recall the names of authors of alchemical texts who published them under pseudonyms being anagrams of their true names. I could think of three only:

Here are some: Petri Murien - Pierre Munier [defective] Spes una est in Agno - Ioannes Spagnetus, i.e. Jean d'Espagnet Flas Cherubin de Corde Superne - Fredericus Conderus ab Helpen James Hasolle - Elias Ashmole Thomas Arfoncinus - Franciscus Hotomanus Jeova Sanctus Unus - Isaac Newton Altus - Jacob Sulat (signatory of the Mutus Liber) Etteilla - Alliette |

Thanks Paul! The first one seems to be more like a spelling variant -- but the remaining ones are very helpful (I wouldn't count Etteila as an alchemist, though). |

I think Etteilla's 'Sept nuances de l'œuvre philosophique-hermétique' (1786) must be considered an alchemical work, though of course he was most closely associated with the Tarot. |
