THE JEWISH ALCHEMISTS
Book Details + Condition: Princeton University Press (Princeton, NJ). First Edition, 1994. Hardcover with dust jacket. 587 pages with Index. Illustrated. From the publisher: "In this monumental work, Raphael Patai opens up an entirely new field of cultural history by tracing Jewish alchemy from antiquity to the nineteenth century. Until now there has been little attention given to the significant role that Jews played in the field of alchemy. Here, drawing on an enormous range of previously unexplored sources, Patai reveals that Jews were major players in what was for centuries one of humanity’s most compelling intellectual obsessions." The book is new old stock; it remains unread and is in very good condition. All books are carefully packed, and shipped in boxes.
