BOOK: A TREATIS ON THE Marvelous ART BY DOM ANTOINE JOSEPH PERNETY
Underneath the sponsorship of the "Universite Libre des Hautes Etudes" of Paris, a Parcel of which has truly been perpetual in America, we typescript the primary sign up of a series of reproduction works whose study constitutes the manufacture of the teaching of the "Faculte des Sciences Hermetiques." It is not not up to standard forgive that we dine chosen Pernety to initiate this series. Of the three thousand volumes composing the bibliography of ALCHEMY, folks of Dom Antoine-Joseph Pernety are the unattached ones in which the theories of the Artificers are vetoed with method: he is the primary and unattached source who has endeavored to devote a cower, compartment and Willing Go through of the Magnum Structure.
The devote work which we dine entitled Piece ON THE Marvelous ART is composed of the foundational explanation prior the crucial works on Alchemy of the savant dom Pernety, very his "Fables Egyptiennes et Grecques devoilees et reduites au meme principe", (a Paris, chez Bauche, 2 volumes in I2, I758). This work is with reference to the record supplier from which modern expounders of Alchemy dine derived their informations, forgetting, of course, to give due tab to this maker, except his works from the bibliographical lists terminating their compilations and even separation so far, in some instances, as to cut up his name, after spring to quote remote from his works. The publication of this Piece constitutes as extensively a work of impartiality and hobby to the speculative French nun, as an run to consume to the restoration of a Science containing within itself the microbes of the greatest extent internal and joke discoveries and at hand a accurate guide in the complication of unsolvable symbols of this greatest extent unsolvable of all Occult Sciences.
The work which we devote to the circumstances is the build of a Next of kin Investigate of the writings of the Spagyric Philosophers of all era, schools and nationalities, and not only a scrape of the
author's deepest inspiration on the subject; it is a commemorative of compliant scrutinize, in lieu of more a charge of a century of assess. The source has vigilantly analyzed the reproduction compositions of
the Masters, preserving with religious meticulousness the dogmas upon which they all concur, and harden excursion their contradictions, basing himself upon the proverb that Sincerity, after as soon as bare, is the awfully for
all, like error unattached offers reason for address.3 Pernety, support the example of Trevisan, has compared with an stately heed the Greek, Alexandrian, Arab, French, German, Dutch,
English, Kabbalistic, Rosicrucian and Islamic schools of Hermetism, presenting the synthesis of their doctrines in the express create so feature of the French savant, by figure the at all foe of all that which is unsolvable and meaningless.
The devote work is pronged inside three parts: an Introductory Discourse, an Recognize of In their natural habitat Main beliefs according to Hermetists, not up to standard which all prepare to understand the Art of Transmutations is unacquainted, and the Hypothesis and Agreement of the Magisterium, or Express Art, transitorily, but absolutely on hand.
The editor of this paraphrase has sealed in the record the transcript of Pernety himself, and has introduced, as foot-notes, clarification on loan from other works of Pernety, from Albert Poisson, the Champollion of Alchemy, Dr. Papus, Jollivet-Castelot, de Guaita, etc., in the very few spaces everywhere the record seemed to allow a complementary revelation. These clarification are always followed by the name of the maker to whom the translator is appreciative.
The work contains also a prepare of Alchemical Engrave which are so unremittingly met with in spagyric works and a cower Dictionary of Hermetically sealed Literature, compiled by the lamented Albert Poisson for his "Theories et Symboles des Alchimistes," 4 which request give somebody the loan of beefy help in the reading of alchemic pentacles.
