The Twelve keys to Philosophy – Basile Valentin (1599/2024)

A famous short alchemical text that comes in the series of translations by Laura Gaie / VBros.

The work itself is a quite incomprehensible ‘allegorical’ text, so operations, so not decribed as operations.

Then follows a “book 3” in which the previous twelve chapters are explained. This text is quite interesting. A few appendices that follow are less interesting to me.

Not your ultimate alchemical book, but a chance to read this famous, short text in English. The whole book is under 100 pages.
