	Pseudo-Geber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pseudo-Geber ("false Geber") is the name assigned by modern scholars to an anonymous alchemist born in the 14th century, probably in Spain.
		He wrote a few books on alchemy and metallurgy, in Latin, under the pen name of Geber (the usual Latin rendition of Jabir Ibn Haiyan) — after the foremost 8th century Arab-Yemeni (Iranian-born) alchemist with the same name.
		Books by the real Jabir Ibn Hayyan had been translated into Latin during the 11th to 13th centuries, and had made a profound impression on European alchemists.

	Geber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geber was also the pen name of an anonymous 14th century European alchemist, author of the treatise Summa Perfectione and several other books: see Pseudo-Geber.
		Referred to in Western contexts by the Latinized form of his given name (Jabir), Geber, also known as the Father of Chemistry, because he was the first to scientifically systematise chemistry.

	6. The Translator of Liber fornacum
		No one was willing to disturb the calm waters or to contest the established beliefs; on the contrary most historians of science were looking for further implausible assumptions to boost the fictitious theory of the Latin Pseudo-Geber.
		In that period in the history of science the debate was acute between the advocates for a Latin-Pseudo-Geber and those who believed that the Latin works were translations from Arabic, Holmyard was a lone fighter against an enormous torrent of support for the Latin pseudo author.
		Renowned historians of chemistry like Von Lippmann and Ruska supported the Latin Pseudo-Geber theory and they used their immense authority to give it weight.

	HYLE 10-2 (2004): Book Review: William R. Newman, Lawrence M. Principe: Alchemy Tried in the Fire
		It was common in alchemical literature to cite earlier, respected authorities such as Geber (often without distinguishing between the Arabic author Jabir and the later Pseudo-Geber), Raymond Lully, and Basil Valentine, to name a few prominent personalities.
		This discussion is interesting as it reveals personal characteristics of the figures of this story; but it is also of value to modern science, as the roots of the ‘fair’ approach to other scholars can be taken as a sign of the emergence of modern scientific attitudes, even though priority problems still occur.

	4. Jabir’s Latin Names
		Ruska who was well known by his habit of casting doubts about the authorship of Arabic Latin works and by attributing some of them to pseudo Latin authors, distinguished in his writings between the Arab Dschabir and the Latin Pseudo-Geber.
		In modern times the word Geber is used almost exclusively to denote the Pseudo-Geber to distinguish it from Jabir.
		Thus in the case of Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariyya al-Razi the word Rhazes was used and for Jabir ibn Hayyan the word Geber was adopted.

	Alchemy: Ancient & Modern.
		The spurious writings mentioned above show that the pseudo-Geber was a man of wide chemical knowledge and experience, and play a not inconsiderable part in the history of Alchemy.
		These true writings of Geber are very obscure; they give no warrant for believing that the famous sulphur-mercury theory was due to this alchemist, and they prove him not to be the expert chemist that he was supposed to have been.
		Until recently it was thought to have originated to a great extent with the Arabian alchemist, Geber; but the late Professor Berthelot showed that the works ascribed to Geber, in which the theory is put forward, are forgeries of a date by which it was already centuries old (see § 32).

	5. “Our Volumes” of Geber
		Although we dispute the assumptions of the advocates of a Latin Pseudo- Geber since they are based on speculation or feeble evidence, yet we must mention that Berthelot reached a conclusion that the three short tracts were written after the Summa because they contain more advanced information.
		Geber says that the Summa is the sum of what he had written in his other “volumes.” Obviously those other “volumes” or “books” cannot be the three small tracts that are associated traditionally with the Summa.
		Therefore the Summa as a sum of Geber’s other “volumes” should be referring to a larger number of earlier books that have been written by him.

	Alchemy
		In the twelfth century their works (including almost all the works of Geber) were translated by Gerhard of Cremona and Alfred of Sarshel, and thereby European alchemy reached a high level in the thirteenth century (the anonymous treatise Summa perfectionis indicates this).
		Bolos of Mende lived in the second century BC, and is also called Pseudo-Democritus.
		In the thirteenth century, under the influence of new theories of natural science, alchemy began to change into scientific chemistry; two milestones were the foundation of the first chair of medical chemistry at the University of Marburg in 1609, and the publication of R. Boyle’s work The Sceptical Chymist in 1661.
