THE WORK OF THE GREEN LION by Jacques Le Tesson

It is not mentioned, but by its attributes one discovers what material one should work with. Le Tesson's text refutes distillations, vulgar sublimations, and is against alembics and all exotic devices of chemistry, rather than alchemy. The entire action takes place, according to the author, in a single glass, with a single material and under a simple operation or “regime.” The author reveals to us where the gold of the wise lives, a completely vulgar substance that both the rich and the poor have. This translation of various manuscripts took several months, if not years, to compile, now under the Rhoend imprint for lovers of experimental alchemy. It has juicy comments from the translator to make it more accessible to read and understand the connection between this operation and that of the ashes.
