Available Copies Details Synopsis

Al-Kimia � The Mystical Islamic Essence of the Sacred Art Of Alchemy by John Eberly presents a condensed history of Alchemy told through concise biographies of early Sufi Masters. Chapters examine occult areas of alchemical and spiritual interest such as jafr, an exegetical Qur�anic science akin to Hebrew Qabala; the Qiyamat or �Great Resurrection�, of the heretical Ismaili sect; the contrary path of the saintly Malamatiyya or �blameworthy ones�; Hermetic color theory, and �hidden� art history. A glossary of transliterated terms is appended that will greatly help the beginner as well as the advanced student of these subjects.
