Jabir ibn Hayyan's Kitab al-Ahjar ‘ala Ra'y Balinas - Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2023
"Some fifty years ago, the German scholar Paul Kraus declared that the well-known
corpus of Arabic alchemical writings traditionally attributed to Jabir ibn Hayyan was not
written by a single author. Kraus concluded that these writings, with the possible exception
of one treatise, were collectively produced by several generations of Qaimatf-IsmaTlI
authors who lived no earlier than the latter half of the 9th century AD. Kraus' conclusions,
already a scholarly orthodoxy, are reexamined by the present thesis."
