This text, by a brother of the Golden Cross—at least, that's how he defines himself—leads us to the material with which we must work and confirms the words of Bernard of Treviso about our one and only material, from which everything is made. If we work with another, it is in vain, and all we do is waste time. Through a review of the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms, it leads us to the understanding of what we really need to do to choose our Subject. Because, if we follow non-metallic paths, we fall into a grave error, which the author condemns in no uncertain terms: “I am amazed by those who wish to be considered great adepts, and yet seek the substance of the stone in women's menstrual blood, seminal fluid, ova, hair, urine, and similar things, and are not ashamed to fill so many volumes with their vain and useless recipes.”
A treatise that deserves a prominent place in our library.
