Artephius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Artephius is the name to which a number of alchemical and magical texts, first extant in Latin, are ascribed. A Renaissance tradition held that Artephius had been born in the first or second century and died in the twelfth, thanks to having discovered the alchemical elixir that made it possible to prolong life. Artephius is sometimes identified with Apollonius of Tyana. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Artephius   (223 words)

[No title] Artephius writes in paragraph 30: "Being moved with a generous mind, I have determined to declare all things truly, and sincerely, that you may not want anything for the perfecting of this stone of the philosophers. Although Artephius has not mentioned iron, many adepts have claimed that iron is an essential ingredient; therefore we may assume that in the works of the philosophers, antimony and iron are essential to bring success in the art. Artephius speaks of three different fires to be used in the art, but actual fire is not used, but ordinary heat is one fire, "our mercury" is another, and the water mentioned in the "Sophic Fire" is the third, because of the power it has of burning, calcinating, or bringing changes about. www.zz.com /WhiteGoldWeb/FTP/PURSUIT3.TXT   (7658 words)

In Pursuit of Gold - Alchemy in Theory and Practice - 3 With the termination of the Secret Book by Artephius in Chapter 4, it is well to recall John Pontanus, who informs us that this book is the only one among hundreds of others to speak the truth, and without any equivocation. And unless I had read Artephius, and sensibly understood his speech I had never arrived to the completement of the work.” This term indeed, was first appropriated to the solvent for the philosophers’ stone, but it afterwards came to be applied generally to all solvents. www.bibliotecapleyades.net /ciencia/esp_ciencia_lapidus3.htm   (7913 words)

Week 3 Readings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Fifthly, authors hide their secrets by means of special letters, devised by their own ingenuity and will, and different from those which are anywhere in use. Sixthly, actual letters are not used but other geomantic figures which function as letters according to the arrangement of points and marks—and this method also Artephius used in his science. Seventhly, there is still a better way of obscuring which is comprehended in the ars notaria which is the art of noting and writing with whatever brevity we wish and with whatever rapidity we desire—and by this means many secrets are hidden in the books of the Latins. e3.uci.edu /clients/bjbecker/SpinningWeb/week3a.html   (2747 words)

Pontanus' Epistle Concerning the Philosophic Fire They err, have erred and will ever err, in that the Philosophers have placed their true agent in but one, single thing, which Artephius alone named, but speaking only for himself. Had I not read Artephius, nor penetrated and understood, never would I have arrived at the accomplishment of the Work. Here, then, the practice: take the matter and, with all diligence, grind and pulverise it with a philosophic contrition and place it upon the fire that is within the furnace. www.jungcircle.com /mist/alchemy1.htm   (1167 words)

In Pursuit of Gold - Alchemy in Theory and Practice - 1 The “Philosophers’ Stone” was also called the “Elixir of Life”, which has the virtue of being able to cure any of the diseases of mankind, thus assuring perfect health and a longevity far beyond the normal span that is hoped for by man. Artephius, an alchemist of the twelfth century, wrote in his treatise entitled The Secret Book that up to that time he had already lived a thousand years by aid of the Elixir. In fact, each of these names could describe what the matter in the flask appeared like during the processes that took place at various stages of the alchemical process. www.bibliotecapleyades.net /esp_ciencia_lapidus1.htm   (4940 words)

Act on the amalgam of the Solar or Lunar regulus, and will form the composition that, in our opinion is to cook in a closed vase.

History Of Alchemy - The Dark Chamber There are at least three probable sources of the alchemic tradition in the West: either it was continued through the works of the Roman alchemists, or it was re-learned by the Europeans at the time of the Crusades or it received influence from the Moors at the time they ruled over Spain. Whatever the case, the first important treatise is of the 12th century, Artephius' "The Art Of Prolonging Human Life". Either this scholar was a good lier or he knew better, because apart from claiming to have the solution to old age, he also claimed to have lived around 1000 years! www.angelfire.com /moon/darkchamber/monthsub/msu_alchemy.htm   (1227 words)

Pontanus - Epistle on the Mineral Fire (Alchemy) Take it then for thy study; for if I had found this fire at first, I had not erred two hundred times in my practice upon the matter: wherefore I wonder not, that so many, and great wits, have not come at the work. They err, have erred, and will err still, because the Philosophers have not set down the proper agent; one only excepted, Artephius by name, but he speaks for himself; and if I had not read Artephius and heard him what he said, I had never attained the perfect work. And by mediation of our fire, the medicine will be multiplied if it be joined with crude matter, not only in quantity, but also in virtue. www.rexresearch.com /alchemy/pontan2.htm   (685 words)

Alchimie et spagyrie : Le feu secret et rosee Artephius en a fait une plus ample description, qu'aucun autre philosophe. Pontanus l'a copié et a fait voir qu'il avait erré deux cents fois parce qu'il ne connaissait pas ce feu, avant qu'il eût lu et compris Artephius : ce feu mystérieux est naturel, parce qu'il est d'une même nature que la matière philosophique; l'artiste néanmoins prépare l'un et l'autre."

Alchemy Reading Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) The two alchemical treatises we are looking at, the "Secret Book of Artephius" and the "Donum Dei," were written in the twelfth and the fifteenth centuries respectively. Recalling your chronology, you will realize that the first was written around the time of the first influx of Arabic science into Latin Christendom while the second was composed quite a bit later, under the influence of Renaissance neoplatonism and hermeticism. Are such categories helpful, or might you describe alchemy in terms independent of such definitions? people.bu.edu /dklepper/RN242/alchemyguide.html   (222 words)
