  Video: Introduction to Paracelsus part II
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-26-2024, 11:08 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - Replies (1)

"Through the 1520s Paracelsus led a revolution in Alchemy and Medicine. Rejecting the Galenic theory of the Humors in Medicine and the mechanistic sulfur-mercury theory in Alchemy, here we find his famed theory of the Tria Prima of Sulfur, Salt and Mercury, his Alchemical theory of the human body, and a medicine founded on the Hermetic principle that the microcosm is truly bound up with the cosmic macrocosm."

  Newton papers going to auction
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-25-2024, 07:24 PM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - Replies (1)

"A set of papers written by physicist Isaac Newton that point to his decades-long quest to produce the mythical Philosopher's stone are set to fetch more than £120,000 at auction. The papers, which are written in Latin and have some English headings, are a distillation of the chemical processes contained within the writings of influential 17th-century alchemist Johann de Monte Snyders."

  Learn Latin or brush up what you already know
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-25-2024, 05:49 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - Replies (2)

"Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se illustrata series is the world's premiere textbook for learning Latin via the Natural Method. Students first learn grammar and vocabulary intuitively through extended contextual reading and an innovative system of marginal notes. It is the only textbook currently available that gives students the opportunity to learn Latin without resorting to translation, but allows them to think in the language."

  The Kybalion from Rare Biblio
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-24-2024, 07:41 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"Among the extensive array of esoteric writings, few texts gleam with as much brilliance as "The Kybalion" authored by Three Initiates. Within its pages lie the profound teachings of Hermetic Philosophy, unveiling the Seven Hermetic Principles and guiding seekers through the labyrinth of Ancient Mysticism."

  New in Wiki: Tractatus de herbis (Treatise on Herbs)
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-23-2024, 04:54 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The Tractatus de herbis (Treatise on Herbs), sometimes called Secreta Salernitana (Secrets of Salerno), is a textual and figurative tradition of herbariums handed down through several illuminated manuscripts of the late Middle Ages and potentially the second half of the 13th century. These treatises present pure plant, mineral, or animal substances with therapeutic properties. Depending on the version, there are between 500 and over 900 entries, grouped in alphabetical order. Originating in Italy, they were distributed throughout Europe and contributed to the transmission and popularity of the pharmacopeia of the Salerno School of Medicine."
