    Written by Jean d'Espagnet

    Narrated by Matthew Schmitz

    ()

    About this audiobook

    The secret work of the hermetic philosophy.Wherein the secrets of nature and art concerning the matter of the philosophers' stone and the manner of working are explained in an authentic and orderly manner.

    This was a key work of 17th-century alchemy. It was written in Latin by Jean d'Espagnet as Enchiridion Physicae Restitutae, and the first edition was issued at Paris in 1623. 

    A number of editions were issued over the next decades, and it was included in a number of alchemical compendia. An English translation, translated by Elias Ashmole, was printed in 1650 in Arthur Dee's Fasciculus Chemicus: Or Chymical Collections. 

    The audiobook version features calming ambient music at a low volume that is fit for a relaxing listening experience.
