The Mirror of Alchimy by Roger Bacon
"The Mirror of Alchimy" by Roger Bacon is an alchemical manual translated in 1597. This compact treatise claims to reveal the secrets of creating the Elixir, a mysterious substance capable of perfecting base metals. Through seven brief chapters, the text guides readers through alchemical principles, mineral properties, and the precise methods for transmutation. As only the second alchemical work printed in English, it emerged during an era of intense fascination with magic
and transformation, shaping popular understanding of alchemy as a science of material perfection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
