This book deserves the first place on the alchemical library shelf. Do you want to know how to make a real volatile salt? How is a Universal Medicine made for all ailments through wine? This is your book. As if that were not enough, he explains how to make the legendary Alkahest. What more can we ask for? Yes, in fact, it also explains how to prepare a Panacea from dew. A generous philosophical substratum accompanies this book, which I anticipate is not about recipes, but about deep philosophy of nature. From that distant day when a dear friend warned me: "the whole secret is in the alcohol" to discovering this book, years have passed. I wish I had found it sooner.
