Ebook: Collectanea Chemica: On Alchemy and Hermetic Medicine

Book Description:

This is a short, edited collection of some curious Alchemical treatises, published by A.E. Waite in 1893. According to the preface, Waite found these in a manuscript belonging to a collector of occult books.

As alchemical collections go, the Collectanea Chemica is a vital read for those seriously interested in alchemy, however it is not a clear introduction to the art.
