This book, by a practicing alchemist, is the first to take a completely physical approach to the science of alchemy while explaining the precise chemical and metallurgical equivalents of the terms used by the alchemists from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance to the late seventeenth century.  These are not merely conjectures or theories, but actual detailed analysis of a number of texts which have been either quoted in full or systematically reduced in length by the elimination of irrelevant and misleading material  Thei work follows in the footsteps of Artephius, Pontanus, and Ripley explaing the real secret of the Sophic Fire, the hidden references to antimony, the true Nature of the Green Lion and copulation of the Red Man and his White Wife.  The last chapter covers practical experimentation and the appendices include a complete list of the equipment needed for the operation.
