Mori alchemists truce the origin of their art hack to Egypt, and recognise its the first to practice It a certain Hermes Trlsmcglstus, Though many of his supposed writ ings are silll In existence, nothing defi nite Is known about his life Alchemy wiih largely developed sud practiced from (iliost A, J>, 400 to the year 642. From the Egyptians It passed over to the conquering Arabs. H was not long before they began to acquaint them selves with the sciences, by contact with the eonquered people, producing celebrated scholars In mathematics, natural sciences, and, above all, In med icine. Quite ft number of Arabians turned their attention to chemistry, and here It received LUe new name Al chemy; they added to the formerly employed word "chemk-" their article "ul."

Even a hook printed as late ns IKK If, relating to the history of alchemy, Is concluded with tho following words "There exists a chemical preparation hy mens of which other metals may he changed Into gold.” Consequently "a Philosopher'* Stone.” Hut the slur of alchemy wan no longer nt Its height, With the triumphs of a Copernicus, a Kcppler and it Galileo In the rnherc of astronomy, mid a Newton In tha< of mathematical physics, a doc trine like that of the Philosopher’s Hione could not stand, so It grudu»l!y sank Into oblivion and was forgotten, except In history. Only after the time of Geblr accurate descriptions of this mythical stone came to the surface. At the beginning li whs pretended to consist generally or a fireproof powder of vurlous colors, and only later It assumed the shapo of a precious stone, Especially Katmund Lulll repeatedly speaks of It an "Cur bum iilous," and according to Paracel sus H consists of a ruby-red, transpar ent crystal "which Is an flexible as rosin and brittle an glass." Somewhere later It vviiH principally employed In the form of a powder, and was frequently called "trlxture," also "ell?;lr" or "maglsteri uin." It must also he remarked that many alchemists made a distinction be tween two stones differing In their ex terior appearance, one for tho produc tion of gold and the other for silver. The belief In the transmutation of one metal Into another no doubt resulted from the fact that It was noticed if molK ii copper m mixcu wiui zinc n ui IhIiih a beautiful yellow color, ami in former year*, when people were not par ticular about noticing email differences, I he obtained brans may havo been mls taken for u kind of gold. Perhaps also the circumstances that many raotala themselves contain gold, or that they used tor ihelr fusion ex perimenls sand containing gold, with out ihelr knowledge, gavo rlso lo these Illusions. Without noticing these sources of error it could not bo ex plained how notoriously excellent and honest alchemists ofitimes bclleve-l that they had the Philosopher's Stone , lu their possession.
