A Book of Alchemy — Marsilius Ficinus & Tarl Warwick | Paperback
Some texts do not merely describe the Great Work — they are it.
Ascribed to the Renaissance philosopher Marsilius Ficinus and brought to modern readers through the editorial hand of Tarl Warwick, The Book of the Chemical Art stands as one of the most philosophically rigorous treatises on alchemical thought ever committed to paper. It does not traffic in superstition. It refutes it — methodically, with the precision of a literate mystic who has no patience for the uninitiated.
The text culminates in a remarkable section drawn from conversations between Illardus, a Catalonian necromancer, and the Devil himself — a device that lends the manuscript its peculiar, unsettling authority. This is alchemy as philosophy, as argument, as initiation.
