The Three Books of Geber on Alchemy

[Paul Ferguson]

"Several works of the Jābirean corpus have been translated into Latin. The present work was written in three parts, covering the properties of metals, alchemical techniques, and the properties of the planets. It was printed in 1531 by Johann Grüninger, a German printer and publisher working in Strasbourg. The work starts with an esoteric poem ("Est fons in limis cuius anguis latet in imis...") that forms the incipit for an alchemical work kept in the Bavarian State Library, Codex Latinus Monacensis 2848. (The latter manuscript is purportedly a Latin translation of a work on the philosopher's stone by the Persian alchemist Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Zakarīyā Rāzī.)"
