'Here for the first time in the history of orientalist scholarship is a complete critical edition of the Kitäb sirr al-khaliqa (The Book of the Secret of Creation) in its Arabic text; it is also titled Kitab al-'ilal (The Book of the Causes). A separate stud…y of the tradition of the text together with a German abstract is planned to be published in the series Ars Medica. Together with the Tabula Smaragdina, which originally had its place at the end of this treatise, the Kitäb sirr al-khaliqa was one of the best known and most influential treatises in Arabic and Latin medieval alchemy and cosmology.'--Anton Heinen Review in History of Science Society From the personal library collection of Brian Cotnoir, alchemist, artist and award-winning filmmaker. Author of Practical Alchemy: Guide to the Great Work, The Emerald Tablet, a series of Alchemical 'Zines, Alchemical Meditations, Alchemy: The Poetry of Matter and most recently On Alchemy: Essential Practices and Making Art as Alchemy. He has presented seminars and workshops around the world on various aspects of the alchemy. Khepri Press was started in 2014 as a place to organize and distribute his work.
