Publisher's Synopsis
The Turba Philosophorum, also known as the Assembly of the Sages, is a book written by Arthur Edward Waite. The book is a collection of alchemical texts and treatises, dating back to the 12th century, that explore the mysteries of alchemy and the search for the philosopher's stone. The texts are written in a cryptic and symbolic language, and are meant to be interpreted by those who are initiated into the secrets of alchemy. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of alchemy, such as the nature of metals, the transmutation of base metals into gold, and the spiritual transformation of the alchemist. The Turba Philosophorum is considered to be one of the most important works in the history of alchemy, and has influenced many other works in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
