Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Lumen Luminum of the early Islamic alchemist, Rhazes, describes alchemy as a practical and philosophical art grounded above all in dissolution and coagulation. The text argues that the alchemist's central task is to discover substances capable of dissolving bodies into vapour or liquid…form and then restoring them into perfected, solid states. Rhazes promises to reveal, from experience rather than obscurity, the preparation and use of key materials including atraments, alums, salts, spirits, and metals.A substantial portion of the work explains these substances in detail. Atrament, especially green atrament, is praised for its power to coagulate and sublime mercury. Alum, particularly split or laminar alum, is presented as one of the most valuable dissolving agents, capable of working on both hard and soft bodies. The text also treats common salt, sal ammoniac, sal nitre, and especially sal alkali as essential agents in alchemical operations. Sal ammoniac is described as containing 'all the secrets of the wise,' while repeated dissolving and coagulating of salts is said to strengthen their efficacy.The three principal mineral spirits are mercury, sulphur, and arsenic. Arsenic is divided into pale and red forms, with the pale sort favoured for dissolution and whitening, and the red for burning bodies. Sulphur is linked especially with gold-making, while arsenic is associated with silver. Mercury receives the most attention, since its volatility makes it difficult to fix in fire; the treatise provides elaborate processes for washing, subliming, dissolving, and coagulating it into red or white forms.The later sections discuss the nature and treatment of gold, silver, copper, tin, iron, and lead. Gold is described as the most balanced and pure metal, requiring fermentation rather than simple manufacture. Silver is seen as close to perfection but still burdened by residual moisture. Copper, tin, iron, and lead are treated as imperfect metals requiring purification, calcination, and repeated preparation. Although the text gives recipes for transmutation, it also insists that true transformation depends on proper species and ferment, not mere outward imitation. Overall, the work presents alchemy as both an experimental craft and a divinely grounded science of purification and perfection. This German edition was printed in 1554. Now translated by Adam McLean.

[3], 915 pp., [4], French & Arabic text, publisher's original wrappers, slightly soiled, biblio, light crease on spine, otherwise copy clean inside & in very good condition, Edition Critique et Traduction de Soubhi M. Hammami, Institut de l'Histoire des Sciences Arabes. University of Aleppo, 1…992. In order to illustrate the remarkable work of Al Razi, this work which evokes diseases of the chest, heart, liver and spleen. Al Razi attaches great importance to the hygiene of life, and to the mental of the patient; to whom he recommends to "have fun, listen to music, sleep well, perfume his clothes, and avoid fatigue and coitus". We discover that it is a precursor, already advocating a healthy diet, low in lipids and favoring lean meats and fruits. In addition, he draws up a table, which specifies the various diseases of the heart, and lists the warning signs, in order to make a prescription. For example, for patients suffering from a dry mood of the heart, the signs of which are leanness of the body, and a small and frequent pulse; Al Razi advocates avoiding fatigue. And in case of fever which accompanies this evil, he advises against milk, and recommends taking a bath with pure water, following which will be applied on the chest and between the shoulders of the patient: oil and wax. In this case, he is also told to drink barley soup, accompanied by almond oil and a little sugar. #23880.

He was the author of more than 200 books and treatises. He left behind more than 200 books and manuscripts containing extracts from earlier scholars regarding diseases and therapy, in addition to numerous records from his own medical practice. He innovated a lot of theories that contributed to the development of medicine at that time; most of his books were translated into European languages and used in many European universities. He was known in the fields of both medicine and chemistry and undertook chemical experiments to create medicines to treat particular diseases. He followed a scientific approach in his research using the methods of monitoring and observation, which gave his chemical experiments a special value.
