Remarks on the Origin of the Alchemy of the Elixir - Paul Ferguson - 10-01-2025
"The paper explores the origins and evolution of alchemical practices, tracing their roots back to Hellenistic and Byzantine influences that were transmitted into the Arab-Islamic culture. It emphasizes the significance of laboratory practices in the development of alchemy, while noting that many recipes shared across various traditions do not necessarily belong to a strictly alchemical doctrine. The text discusses key figures and writings in early alchemical history, supporting its observations with citations from historical texts."
