Download or read book TRIUMPHAL CHARIOT of ANTIMONY Annotated written by Basil Valentine and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In alchemical symbolism Antimony is characterized as a lion (able to devour all metals except the royal Gold). The element itself has had a chequered past, being on occasion considered almost a panacea, and at other times condemned by both church and state. Basilius Valentinus is a shadowy 16th century figure, thought by some to have been Canon of the Benedictine Priory of Saint Peter in Erfurt, Germany. Some of his writings, such as 'The Twelve Philosophical Keys' are as obscure as the author's own origins, but this present work, 'The Triumphant Chariot of Antimony' is a far clearer exposition of Antimony's alchemical properties, intermixed with vibrant Gnosticism and not a little medical perceptiveness. The Annotations of Theodore Kirkringus, (who claims to have known the mysterious author), are equally illuminating. Regarded by many as the first monograph on a chemical element, 'The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony' is an important primary text for all those interested in the 'Royal Art' of Alchemy and the occult wellsprings of modern science.

Download or read book Basilius Valentinus and his tinctures from Antimony written by David A. Schein and published by Inner Garden Foundation. This book was released on 2010 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BASILIUS VALENTINUS AND HIS TINCTURES FROM ANTIMONY began as a doctoral thesis of Dr. Schein with the University of Munich, and was originally published in German in 1977. It reproduces the procedures set out in the famous alchemical manuscript The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony, by basil Valentine. Dr. Schein proves that modern day alchemists should not shun the growing body of knowledge available since days of old, while, on the other hand, science based investigations of alchemical text would do good not to ignore the alchemists viewpoint as outdated and irrelevant. Ideally, interest in Alchemy will neither remain in the past nor disregard the past, but will help translate alchemical concepts and results into languages used today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we account, in a rigorous way, for alchemy's ubiquity? We think of alchemy as the transformation of a base material (usually lead) into gold, but "alchemy" is a word in wide circulation in everyday life, often called upon to fulfill a metaphoric duty as the magical transformation of materials. Almost every culture and time has had some form of alchemy. This book looks at alchemy, not at any one particular instance along the historical timeline, not as a practice or theory, not as a mode of redemption, but as a theoretical problem, linked to real gold and real production in the world. What emerges as the least common denominator or "intensive property" of alchemy is ambivalence, the impossible and paradoxical coexistence of two incompatible elements. Alchemical Mercury moves from antiquity, through the golden age of alchemy in the Dutch seventeenth century, to conceptual art, to alternative fuels, stopping to think with writers such as Dante, Goethe, Hoffmann, the Grimm Brothers, George Eliot, and Marx. Eclectic and wide-ranging, this is the first study to consider alchemy in relation to literary and visual theory in a comprehensive way.
