Erik Laport, Darius Klein Ma, Mar Aaron Butler Ma Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Transmission of Alchemy is a new literal translation of the Epistle of Morienus to Prince Khlid bin Yazd. Morienus draws on Hermetic and Gnostic as well as Persian, Greek, Jewish, and Egyptian sources of wisdom. Publisher Description Transmission of Alchemy is a new literal Arabic to English translation from two versions of an ancient source-work known as The Epistle of Morienus, the Wise Monk, to Prince Khlid bin Yazd.The expression of alchemy preserved in these wonderful manuscripts was foundational to both Islamic and European alchemical traditions. The Epistle of Morienus is considered a primary historical eyewitness account of the momentous occasion when the torch of Byzantine alchemy was transmitted to the Islamic Empire. From there, it would evolve into its dynamic new, experimental and medicinal form as Islamic al-Kmy.Not only is it a record of alchemys transmission to the rich Islamic culture of the Umayyad Caliphate during the 7th century, but also Islamic alchemys transmission into Europe. The original Arabic form of The Epistle of Morienus is considered by many researchers to be one of the first - if not the first - of many initial alchemical texts translated into Latin during the 11th and 12th centuries.The dialogue between Morienus and Prince Khlid holds the key to realizing alchemy as a model for mystic insight, be it framed in terms of Greek philosophical principles, Alexandrian Chrysopoeia or Christian mysticism - all of which Morienus harmonizes and wonderfully expresses with a startling wholeness. Somewhat Hermetic or Gnostic in tone, Morienus draws on these as well as Persian, Greek, Jewish and Egyptian sources of wisdom accurately and from memory in his dialogue with Prince Khlid.Morienus alchemical expression reflects several Alexandrian Chrysopoeian precedents, yet is surprisingly unique in its own right. The work also reveals itself as seamlessly marrying operative and mystic foundational theory with practical work in both alchemy and transcendent wisdom. Transmission of Alchemy will delight professionals and enthusiasts alike who share interest in alchemy, history, spirituality and mysticism.Bonus Material: Originally scheduled as a separate book on its own, a new literal Latin-English translation of Cabala Mineralis, by Aaron Butler MA, MAR, is included in the Transmission of Alchemy. Aaron arduously examined every single word and word combination in his painstaking efforts to provide an incredibly accurate and new literal translation of the Cabala Mineralis. In addition, he included exhaustive and detailed footnotes explaining each translation. His efforts are sure to reveal nuances heretofore unavailable to most researchers, which will allow for a fresh new appreciation for the Cabala Mineralis. Researchers interested in the Cabala Mineralis will be delighted to find Aarons translation and extensive footnotes incredibly insightful and revealing. Author Biography The transformational fire burning within Erik for many years has been a passion for substances and processes integral to ancient technologies, along with their applications towards health and well-being, social evolution and psycho-spiritual reconnection. This ultimately led to a profession as a researcher ... and to the collateral study of alchemy, visionary plants and the hidden history of humanity as personal interests. Some have labeled him an alchemist, mystic, shaman, researcher, writer ( ... plus a few things inappropriate for a public forum ), but mostly Erik is just passionately fascinated by lifes unbounded multiplicity of expression. Erik is as comfortable in triple-canopy tropical rainforest or the high Himalayas as he is in the lab. He spends his time (between travels) at his home in the Indian Himalayas or on a tiny coconut island in the gulf of Thailand with his wife Sunisa and daughter Ayla. Darius M. Klein is an independent scholar and translator living in Seattle, Washington. He obtained an M.A. in Comparative Literature from the University of Washington in 2015; his areas of research and study included Classical Arabic, Latin, Oral Literature and Manuscript Studies, and Native American languages. He also studied Arabic and Literary Translation at the post-graduate level at Indiana University, Bloomington. Although Aaron has lived in many places, he is originally from California. Growing up there, Aaron was exposed to a plethora of natural scenery: mountains, forests, deserts, lakes, rivers, and the Pacific Ocean; all of this filled him with wonder. Aaron spent a great deal of his time enjoying the natural beauty of his surroundings. As was true of many others before him, this evoked a spirit of contemplation and intense curiosity, which lead him inexorably to philosophy. Aaron, however, was not satisfied with academic philosophy as it is practiced today. So, whilst nevertheless learning a great deal from the academic study of philosophy, he turned his eye towards a broader and more ancient expression thereof; namely: philosophy as askesis. Philosophy understood this way was not just what one did at a university, as a writing professional, or the like, but what one was and how one lived. Wisdom, understanding, discernment, and knowledge were what Aaron sought to cultivate, but not as a mere form of social prestige, punditry, or simply to garner employment, as is so often, but not exhaustively, the focus of academic philosophy today. No. Aaron sought something finer, more subtle, puissant, and whose brobdingnagian character is yet inviting but sublime.
