The Alchemy Reader: From Hermes Trismegistus to Isaac Newton

Review
"... a new and valuable source of how these complicated ideas were originally expressed." Seattle Weekly


Book Description
Ranging from the pre-Christian era to Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton at the end of the seventeenth century, this Reader covers a broad range of alchemical authors and works. Organized chronologically, it includes around thirty selections in authoritative but lightly-modernized versions. The selections will provide the reader with a basic introduction to the field and its interdisciplinary links with science and medicine, philosophy, religion, and literature and the arts.
