A Treatise of the Three Principles of Metals

Source verified · September 2026

This alchemical text discusses the three foundational principles governing metals, likely in relation to processes of transformation and inner correspondence. It is important as part of the early alchemical tradition, where material operations were tied to cosmological and spiritual ideas; readers will find technical-alchemical reasoning, symbolic language, and theories of metallic generation.
