The Poetry of the Talmud: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This volume (and the last edited work of 2021!) is a plethora of analysis regarding the Talmud and its content; it covers the hyperbolic and metaphorical nature of a great deal of Rabbinical opinion, and a number of little cautionary tales usually involving animals, as well as the Greek influence on some of the content, in which their stories were re-interpreted according to the premises of Judaism. It is heavily sourced both to the Talmud and to contemporary academic works.

156 pages.

An Explanation of the Natural Philosophers' Tincture: Now Available!




This manuscript concerns the chemical components of alchemy more than the actual crafting of any sorcerers' stone or elixir itself; indeed, it is the general recipe for the precursor materials needed to work the great work itself. The formula is fairly explicit but most of the secondary content used to "prove" the point is religious in nature and heavily metaphorical. Overall, a fine alchemical work of note, from one of the less well known figures within the period. It is slightly similar to some of Hollandus' work.
