The New Chemical Light

This book deserves all our attention. It has laid the foundations for the complete understanding of the processes of nature, back in the year 1600. Its author, called The Cosmopolitan, which many suggest was Michael Sendivogius, takes us by the hand to understand the most important principles of Art. and give us the key to condense the Spiritus Mundi in the form of dry water that does not wet our hands. Some theories suggest that the author was actually Alexander Sethon, a man who performed public transmutations and was imprisoned by the emperor, tortured to death to reveal the secret of the Philosopher's Stone. Some stories suggest that Sendivogius rescued him from prison, due to contacts he had with the emperor, and took him to his home to be cured. Unfortunately the injuries were tragic and he would die, but not before giving him the secret of the Stone. This text was translated from the original Latin, and the work includes it at the end. It is the complete compendium of the work attributed to the Cosmopolitan. It is my favorite book of all.
