The Sum Of Perfection Or Of The Perfect Magistery by Geber is a book that explores the ancient art of alchemy. Geber, also known as Jabir ibn Hayyan, was a prominent Islamic alchemist who lived in the 8th century. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which discusses the theoretical aspects of alchemy, while the second part focuses on the practical application of alchemical principles.In the first part, Geber discusses the fundamental principles of alchemy, including the concept of the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) and the three principles (sulfur, mercury, and salt). He also explores the concept of transmutation, which is the process of transforming one substance into another. Geber explains the importance of understanding the properties of each substance and how they can be manipulated to achieve the desired result.The second part of the book provides practical instructions on how to perform alchemical experiments. Geber describes the equipment and materials needed, as well as the specific steps required to perform various experiments. He also provides recipes for creating various substances, including the philosopher's stone, which was believed to have the power to transform base metals into gold.Overall, The Sum Of Perfection Or Of The Perfect Magistery by Geber is a comprehensive guide to the art of alchemy. It provides both theoretical and practical information that was highly valued by alchemists throughout history. While modern science has largely discredited the principles of alchemy, the book remains an important historical document that sheds light on the beliefs and practices of ancient alchemists.THIS 182 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Geber, by Geber .
